New tattoo?

Since I am Filipino, I was thinking my next tattoo would be of the Coat of Arms of the Philippines.  I would want it in the black tribal style, as shown on the gentleman in this photo, on my left hip.



Here's a little explanation, courtesy of Wikipedia :)
The Coat of Arms of the Philippines features the eight-rayed sun of the Philippines with each ray representing the eight provinces (BatangasBulacanCaviteManilaLagunaNueva EcijaPampanga andTarlac) which were placed under martial law by Governor-General Ramón Blanco during the Philippine Revolution, and the three five-pointed stars representing the three primary geographic regions of Luzon,Visayas, and Mindanao. In the blue field on the left side is the Eagle of the United States, and in the red field on the right is the Lion-Rampant of Spain, both representing colonial history. It is also used by thePhilippine National Bank.
