Hi guys,

I thought I should give you an update considering how nice you were to help me out with ideas. It has ended up a bit different than the first idea (most stuff that you are passionate about usually does).

Here are the first pictures. Ended up going for the full back:

Note that the left side is not healed at all at this point. I am going to post again when it is done.

Comments and ideas are welcome even though we seem to have pretty much settled on the way to do it. The only thing we are debating at the moment is whether to add some red blood to the knife. I am quite keen on doing it.

Regards,
Mike

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for the inputs – really good stuff!

I really like the idea with the whip which I will definitely use.

The mother and child also sounds really solid. I think it will work best if they are walking (towards the forefront) or perhaps standing still (taking a break). I can’t figure out if the graveyard is to much of a “set up” (to much symbolism in one piece) for this tattoo but I like the idea with the grove of trees.

Since I feel confident that the setting is all I need then I should have enough to take it to the artist and let him get his inputs into it.

If anyone else has an idea then please write.

Thanks again,
Mike

Thanks for all the comments. Much appreciated.

I might need some help with my next tat. I really think that the best tattoos are made when the client has an original (but well considered) idea that the artist can work with but I really need some inputs to this one.

My next tat is going to be on the left part of my back (size can vary but it is going to be a pretty large piece). I thought about building it up over Matthew 10:16: “Behold, I sent you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves”.

First part of the quote (“Behold as I send you forth”) will be in the top of the tattoo (all the way up at the shoulder going in under the neck). The last part of the quite (“as sheep in the midst of wolves”) will be placed under the tattoo.

For the rest of the tattoo I am quite sure that I want some creepy looking men lurking in the foreground (maybe only one creepy looking man that you can see from the waist up in the bottom (foreground) of the tattoo). In the top (background) I am considering a sign of innocence. It could be a couple of small children, weak old people or even sheep (although I am not to happy with the sheep idea).

Any thoughts?

The thing I have the hardest time figuring out is the setting. First I was considering a field with high grass at dusk or nighttime but then again I am not all that crazy about it because I think it will lack some details and might become a bit… well… boring.

So any ideas about the setting will be very highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

I pretty much came up with the design myself. I found the pictures that I liked and the artist did a really good job putting it all together. Took him a long time to draw it up but you can see that he spent the time getting it just right – especially the arm was tricky because it was hard getting the picture to fit without vital parts getting “stuck” in the blank spaces.

@Scrubmuncher

It’s on me… Unfortunately the only thing I can draw is matchstick men (badly!)
