Somewhere Under the Rainbow

I have been working on giving my main character more character. It is a crime novel, but he’s not a bad ass. His biker friends all have ink art. This is a sneak peek into the workings of my warped mind.

While we were out at Playa Linda, the nude beach, this past weekend, I got this shot of a tattoo. (With permission, of course.) It gave me an idea. My inspiration of the day:

It’s a little fuzzy, but look closely at its head. Baby beluga or dolphin?

 

There is a scene in my book that needs a bit a comic relief. Something to mellow the character out after a harrowing experience. I was thinking of giving him this ink art in a place where it might be a bit amusing. Here’s some pics for comparison.

Dolphin left.                                           Beluga right.

 What do you think? Endearing joke, or too sweet for a crime fighter?
