I also think there's a surprising number of horse folks with body mods out there - more than you might think! I've got 4 tats, my best friend is a teeny tiny blond girl who shows with me and is COVERED in tattoos...most of them are just hidden. No one knows I have them, generally.
oh, that's cute! usually i don't like actual HORSE tattoos...rarely do they appear to be drawn well....horses are one the most difficult animals to draw, especially if you're a non-equestrian, like i'm going to guess 99% of all tattoo artists are, lol. but yours is very nice. and i'm sure it's fun for people to color it in for you, haha....the horse of a different color tattoo! :D
it's good to overthink tattoos. :) if you overthink them and you still want them, it means you're more than likely not going to be looking at them in 3 months and wondering wtf you were thinking. ;)
If it makes you feel better... I have a tattoo I've been thinking about for 5 years now, and the concept hasn't changed since the day I first thought of it.
I would totally consider an equestrian tattoo, but I'm so picky with how it would look that I could never get an actual horse done, unless it was very stylized. I love the idea of a snaffle bit! I don't have any right now, but all the tattoos I have planned are going to be text. So I would say just get his lip number on/above the bit. :]
I do have piercings, and am in the process of stretching my ears, and had many different hair colors. None of the horse people I've interacted with have cared what mods I have going on, except as a working student I couldn't have non-natural hair. That was fine; if she had asked me to take out any piercings, it would have been a no go.
The only issue my friends have had with mods is that they have to wear either clear/skin toned spacers or the tiniest barbell/ring possible for the show ring. They've all be fine with it except for one girl who stupidly got her lip pierced the night before and had a pink hoop put in it.
