To be honest, my parents are actually more into a “colorful” tattoo then a plain old black and white. Oddly enough, even though it sticks out more. I’m just going to have to get it all drawn up first to see how it’d situate. I also would like to incorporate clouds..somehow.

Those 2 are just to show his sharp lines and skill with text. As far as “picture” tattoos.

Oh, yes, I forgot all 17 year old’s are incapable of making decisions and we’re all retarded. Before dissing an artist, look him up. Bruce Fairchild from Pennsylvania. He owns Triple 6 Tattoos. I actually want this tattoo because it comes out of a prayer that I once said with my dad at the side of the bed when times in my life were easier and more simple. It gives me the memory of being a child, everything I did as a child, and how much my family means to me, and how everything in life can change in a second.

I actually like where you went with the small child thing. First think to pop into my mind would be a small child kneeling by a bed, also on the far side so you could see his face. He’s obviously deep in prayer due to his body language (hands together, head down) but he’s slightly looking up. In his eyes, they are very evil looking…

Almost like that. Behind him, you can see an angel with a halo and a satanic figure almost dueling in the background, with the angelic side starting to edge the satanic side in the battle.

What do you guys think of that?

Nah, not yet! I’m only 16, turning 17 in a few days (February 4th). Been wanting the same tattoo since I was actually 15. I’m most likely going to be inked up a little bit after my 17th birthday by a family friend in Pennsylvania (Bruce Fairchild). Neither of my parents have any tattoos, and would actually say that they are against it, but since the tattoo I want has meaning behind it and I’ve wanted it for 2 and a half years, they’re starting to strongly consider it. I want the words “If I die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take” on my inner bicep in cursive.
