don't get a tatoo of anything to do with rasta, since rasta are against tatoos it could be kind of insulting.

why not a lyric from a song you like? that could be cool

reggae influence tattoo , get whatever you want if people get mad let them deal with it, ur body, just add some style to it so its not plain, thats why i say influence, insulting would be having selassie riding a donkey lol now that might hurt some ppl,

am not rasta and i have one tatto and i want more is like expresion in your body like a canvas but the idea of rasta-reggae related tatto sounds quite rare but the idea of a lyric is good or any good massage of a artist like Bob Marley or Peter tosh maybe your way to express your respect just be positive.
some rastas consider that a mutilation but if you not are rasta why not is your believe, by the way robbie shakespiere has tattos and he has mere than 200.000 reggae records.....just a point

I've got many tattoos, but I do not claim to be Rasta. I always liked the lion of the wackies label for a potential tat. Anyways, be sure that your artist has a good rep, stay away from artist's with ego and or new to the business. They usually convince you that cranking the needle all the way up is the best way to go {which is an absolute lie!} and will turn your flesh to hamburger. Go to a shop with a good rep. I go to a place in Oakland, California called Temple Tattoo. They charge about 140.00 an hour. That's expected for a top shop, and all the work I've brought in is original (this goes with the fee).

the wackie's lion would look cool for sure, or the weird lion of judah from aswad's self titled lp.
