A good effort which could be improved by using some kind of transition to blend the tat with the dragon sculpture. The way you have done it, makes it look like the dragon sculpture is something separate to the tattoo which is just wrapped around the arm or pasted on top of the arm. It does not look like the tattoo is coming alive out of the arm.
To make a tattoo look like it is coming alive, the "real" thing needs to be blended with the tat so both sources look like part of each other.
The following tutorial shows you how to add a transitional fade effect from one image to another using masks.

Thanks for the tutorial Skyangel, it is very interesting. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to fit to my chop as there are too many layers and it gets all mixed up. I like it as it is anyway, with the tattoo still appearing very well. The dragon is alive and surrounds the arm indeed, the transformation took place a moment ago and now the beast is waiting for an inner signal to take off!
