Actually that last one I really like. Does anyone know how I can find who the artist is or how I can get something done like it?

I would want images hidden within it, like really cool when you look closer at it, but never ruining the awesome skull image from that photo.

I just had a nightmare that I had a huge tattoo on my upper arm of Skeletor (and he had a nose!), Battle Cat and that evil purple Panther version of Batle Cat. Just their faces, and badly drawn. Also my whole upper arm was colored purple, and green with orange stripes. Crazy dream!

I really like the “glowing” aspect to tattoos like this:

I’d love to get something like that skull, and maybe with a little bit of glowing space around it.

I was originally thinking something like this on my back, but with glowing eyes, and with some cool imagery inside the skull: http://tattooton.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Skull-Tattoo-Designs-for-Men28.jpg

Or maybe just black and white exactly like that one. It looks so cool. And the skull chin tapers inwards, so I wonder if it would give my widening waist a slimming effect, ha ha?

Holy sh[oe], Halo is amazing!!!! I love how he gets the effect of a blue glow deep in the eyes of the skull!!!

I think you’re right, that I need to tone it down considerably. Do you or anyone have any suggestions?

Please feel free to tell me if it sounds stupid. I am WIDE OPEN for ideas here, and I will not be offended by ANYTHING.

I suppose the outer space would have to be up top and possibly to the sides? And the undersea stuff with the coral on the bottom? Possibly forming the “teeth” of the skull?

There could be some realistic flowers on it, too, but masculine ones. Ha ha. And nothing tribal, and NO words. Just images. I saw some cool-looking owls (had no idea owls were a popular tattoo?), and eagles and ravens; those would be cool…the feathers and detailed faces could look awesome if done right.

Other animals would be awesome, too. Filled with animals. And a couple humans. But not like a Noah and the Ark scene. More like something that celebrates life and this world and solar system in general.

Which leads me to something else I forgot to mention – some outer space and Really cool-looking, glowing stars, and some gorgeous glowing-esque undersea stuff with coral and whatnot.

I know this is like a tall order and seems that it could be a bit much, but I know there is a way to keep it from being too much or gawdy. I mean, I don’t need like too many animals on there. I just want it to look awesome and VERY well-done, but I suppose that goes without saying!

That’s exactly right; I do want a whole back piece. Maybe with some cool stuff sneaking around to the front, but not sure.

I would like it to be like a tapestry that consists of a combination of many different images, very colorful with different styles, some photorealistic and others not photorealistic but really stylistically awesome, with a lot of different animals (each of its own unique style) and some humans doing stuff, with excellent depth especially with the humans, and possibly made so that when looking at it from afar the whole tapestry looks like a huge skull, but not like a scary skull, more one that celebrates life and humanity in general, like more light and colorful, and glowing-ish with cool designs.

I loved that movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea since I was a kid! I especially loved the giant squid! A giant squid came up to the surface of the water in the pitch black of night one time when we sailed to Bermuda from the U.S. one time. The bright moonlight from the majestic, totally clear sky (you could see the Milky Way, multiple satellites and shooting stars every clear night) reflected off of its giant, dinner-plate sized eye as it silently watched us, then disappeared back into the depths.

Do you have any suggestions for designs, similar to what I’m looking for? The tattoo shops want to know.

I’m totally cool with going to Baltimore or Philly for a better tattoo. Do you have any suggestions?
