    Well Jackie, I'm no artist, but a few tings come to mind. The heart needs filling in with colour, i.m.o. - red or maybe fluro-pink, or something. A pseudo-'reflection' can be added to the top right of the heart to give it a more 3-D look.
    A scroll with a name and/or slogan can be inserted underneath if you wish. You could also put stuff like Laural wreaths around the side if you fancy that kind of thing. ~ Depends on your tastes, I guess.

    Add World's Greatest over it. Done.

    Perhaps a trail of flowers running down from it. Expand the smaller hearts by having them traced outward as a second larger heart. Not a lot of room there, but enough to make them more impressive.

    Hi Guys

    Thanks for your help so far. This is a pic of where the tattoo is on my hip and gives you a proper idea of size.

    Ask a tat artist to draw up a tribal-like surround or cradle.

    I would also have them bold the lines and give it more body, get some shading in there for a shadowed dusty edge too.
