Help me choose an inlay...

I've decided to go with something like this but I can't decide which one. What do you all think? You can click either of the black chips for a close up. Also, if you have an idea to modify this is some way I would be interested to hear it!

LOL, interesting inlay there... but out of the two, would definately go with the denom, but maybe keep the saying full size and decrease the size of the denom to fit below the words.

I think I'd prefer the top inlay, with the denom exactly as it is in the bottom pics.

Reminded me a little of this http://tinyurl.com/a8v2k eBay link.

I like the top better, but agree that you could fit a denom on it.

I like the top one (with or without denoms would look good).

bottom better,

This inlay is really funny, but are u sure its something u want to toy with at this price? Do you think u will out grow them?

i really like them... why choose between the 2 use the top for back and the bottom for the front... i have been toying with something similar base on a stamp tattoo i have on my forarm

I'm almost 30 so probably not... It’s actually one of the first things that I've made in a while that really fit my personality or sense of humor. I am surprised at how many people are saying the top version though. I was definitely leaning toward the bottom one... I'll play around with it a bit more.

As for what the idea is about - Ronitonline asked me to help him come up with an inlay for his chips and the phrase "you're bad at life" was one of his ideas. I really liked it and asked if he would mind if I used it myself. Then I got the idea to make an inlay that looked like it had been rubber stamped. For me there is not really any correlation between poker and the phrase it’s just a social commentary type of thing meant purely to be humorous - black comedy, if you will.

Anyway I will work on it some more and get back with you all for your opinions, thanks for all the responses.

Yeah, that had crossed my mind as well. I definitely think I will have a front and back inlay but I need to work the idea a bit more to figure out where it needs to go.
