So im home from my second tour in iraq and wanted to get a tattoo before I have to go back and was wondering if you guys can help me with this one as I went into four different shops and the artist couldnt get it right.

Im looking to do a quote (pain is weakness leaving the body” across my chest with some old school pinstripping around it but the artist couldnt do the striping right for some reason.

I was thinking of doing it one of two ways, the whole thing curving from one shoulder blade to the other or in the center more towards the neck put “pain is weakness” in a straight line than right below it have the rest curved both still with some pin stripes around it but having a hard time seeing it in my head and the artist cant get it right.
