Tattoo artists opinion...?

Alrighty, so I already have a tattoo of The Joker from The Killing Joke (Batman Comic)

This is the tattoo

http://www.flickr.com/photos/kristinhelliwell/6854...

So, I guess what I'm trying to figure out is if I could incorporate a quote into it, or if I will have to make the quote a separate entity on it's own. The quote is "So why can't you see the funny side? Why aren't you laughing?" I do plan on talking to my tattoo artist, but until then I'm just looking for some feedback on opinions of what to do with the quote!

Thanks for your time!

Update:

Yea, I agree it's more than likely way too wordy to be put with the tattoo, but I definitely need the full quote if I'm going to get it, it reminds me that even in the worst of times, something good will come of it, so I just have to keep that smile pinned on my face!

Update 2:

Also, the only reason I wanted it with the tat is because the quote and image are from the same book!

AND, thank you for the compliment on the work, I agree my artist did an awesome job!

    you COULD incorporate it at the bottom

    say, on what looks like a burnt (or flaming) piece of parchment (but keeping the colouring you already have)

    but to be honest, i wouldnt

    its a great piece, its nicely done, and the quote is a LOT

    if you really want it, i would have the "So why can't you see the funny side" and leave the rest,

    its a huge amount of words to have done under that

    I am not a tattoo artist, but I thought I would give you an opinion, I saw your tattoo quite a while ago on another question, its amazingly done.

    How about incorporating the quote on the bottom left hand side, curving round with the curve of that part of the tattoo!
