    I've been thinking about getting a tattoo since I was in H.S and each year I've been holding off. We'll I got 3 years before I'm 30 and since 2011 is a year about doing instead of talking its time to get tatted up. Only problem is that I have design concepts but I can't draw or manifest them visually so I need your help.

    I was thinking about getting 3 tattoos that are connected through some kind of tribal art or design. Starting off with the two main ones.

    1 Left Chest:
    I want to get the word Sarfarosh IN SANSKRIT (Hindi: सरफ़रोशin sanskrit with the Chinese characters for family, friends, loyalty, honor, respect, and unique surrounding it. How is the question?

    2 Left Arm
    For this tatt I want a ying yang right in the center of my deltoid. The cool part of this tatt is that the yin would be breaking out of the enclosure which would then turn into the tribal design or whatever design I decided on. Its either that or some kind of cloaking similar to what would be seen on Venom from Spiderman. It would spread out and eventually connect to my chest tatt and then the one of my stomach (that design is complete)

    So if anyone wants to draw up some sketches or make some on the computer I'd appreciate the help be selecting your work to go on my body for life.

    the Maori Tattoo is the real deal..not a fashion statement.
    Still, some people around the world copy them.

    I hope it was something in a foreign language, because its a safe bet to assume the artists would write "prick" in another language so he didn't know.

    I hate the guy !, not because he's a bad person or anything, but because it was all handed to him on a plate. He earned nothing.

    sounds like it will be an interesting tattoo. I would try to come up with something with my limited photoshop skillz but can't find Chinese fonts to save my life to begin to design something =/

    Doctorie you are one funny individual, you sir have earned my respect. As for my choice, I would have to say AA.) since he doesn't seem to have any thought of his own, he let the artist pick some stencil off the wall. As for your tattoo Nis, if I can find a scanner I can draw something really quick and get your approval and then work on it in detail. I have to find a scanner though :p

    Be careful with other languages just because a word directly translates to something doesn't necessarily mean what you think it means. Especially with character based written languages.

    I'm not an idiot. I'm not looking for someone to design it just looking for inspiration. Granted if someone has some creative input I like I'm going to use it. I need help connecting the dots though. Hopefully, someone has some creativity input to use because I should be getting it in these upcoming weeks stay tuned for photos.

    So I'm back on this. I need someone to please make a design for the name Nishua. I would like it to look like the name is made out of smoke. I want the NISH bold so it stands out and the UA to be fade but still visible and cool effects around it. If someone can seriously design something sick for me i'll put it on my arm and show you.

    Since this post I've got a half sleeve and my one of side of my chest done so its happening. Need to finish that sleeve ;)

    A fading smoke tattoo is going to be extremely complex, a transient 3D image displayed in 2D.

    Have you spoken to any local artists yet?
