so i am getting a new tattoo of a warrior angel. he has big wings and is wearing spartan armor and helmet. in his hand he is holding a flag pole with a burning white flag on top of it. i am getting the tattoo to symbolize that i will never surrender or give up. since the white flag in the surrender flag i thought it burning would be good to show this. also he has on all the armor and it looks like he is walking toward u like he is ready to fight. behind the warrior angel are some mountains. i was wanting to put some words in there saying never surrender but i dont want the exact words “never surrender”. i want something that makes people think more. something more unique. if anyone has any ideas i would love to hear them. i am also open to any other ideas u have that would go along with my idea.
Already sounds like a lot going on , i think i wouldnt bother with wording at all .
how large are you having this piece done ??
“Nunquam trado” above the Angel, “mother fucker” below it.
It’s latin for “Never Surrender, Mother Fucker”
“Veni, vidi, vici” translates to “I came, I saw, I conquered”, which is the same concept.
Or you could, like Butterfly said, just leave the words out.
Love. Peace. Metallica.

ya i know. its just last minute because my buddy from the Navy is in town and he is doin it for free so i cant pas that up. lol
is he a tattoo artist or doing it from a home kit ?
he has been tattooing for 4 years from his house. right now he is in the navy but he aspires to get an apprenticeship and become a tattoo artist after he gets out of the navy. he is going to use his college money from the navy to get a degree in business management also because he wants to one day open his own shop.
Hi
Looking at the design idea I think the symbolism really does speak for itself.
That said you could go for;
Res non lacuna (Deeds not words).
Defiance insquequo nex (Defiance until violent death)

ok i was supposed to get the tattoo done on Tuesday but it had to be postponed until today. i think i am going to leave the words out for now and decide later. but tell me what yall think of this idea. on my right shoulder blade will be the tattoo i have been talking about and later i will get one on my left shoulder blade that contrasts the right one in meaning. i might even make it a female warrior angel type. i just have to figure out what would go good with the one i am getting today that means “never surrender”. any ideas on what kind of symbolism i could use for the left one?
i would keep it as you already palnned , because it sounds quite like the arch angel michael
and that would make a cool timeless tattoo .
some tattoo’s just dont date well but that one will .
Hi
For further angel stuff check out this link

He rocks at warrior angel stuff and from what i read he is quite reasonable on prices if you wanted a custom job drawing up.
He also doesn’ts eem to mind use of his image for tats if you ask permission.
Looking forward to seeing your ink.

im not sure they is much he could do about you having his work tattooed even if you didnt get permission .
i dont think copyright covers the artist if the work has been used as a tattoo .
someone used one of my prints as a tattoo and didnt ask me :confused:
but i didnt mind anyways its like the best compliment you could get right ?? someone wanting your work on you forever ๐
I mentioned it because there have been ppl who have asked out of politeness if he minded (them getting a tattoo) and he seems to take it as a compliment.
You are right he could not enforce or stop a person but for the sake of a quick email I personally would ask.
