Description Here is the start of my new tattoo. I wanted to have my Kids names on me and this is what I came up with. The skull represents my troubled past, the dagger signifies me putting an end to the chaos of my past to rest. The roses and thorns/vines are to show that even out of the ashes of a troubled past that something beautiful can still grow. I am looking at putting this over heart and filling the whole left chest (go big or go home).

My Kids are the world to me I am so blessed to have the chance to have and rase such wonderful children.

OK all that said. I am still working on the design. I am having a bit of trouble with the top banner and rose. I just can't get the right angel. So if anyone want to offer advice please do so.

On a side note, I also wouldn't mind if anyone wanted to take a stab at putting there stank on it. I have my friend working on his rendition of this design. But I think it would be cool to see what other would do, so have fun!

Oh dude! if you can draw that well, then why not go ahead and do the lettering by hand?

The computer font doesn't look very good like that with the kerning all wonky and the baseline all over the place. It's gonna be hot!

I did the text in the computer just for a quick working idea. (WIP)

I am going to do the lettering by hand. I just need to figure out the style.

I think the design on the right gives it a bit more flare... you just have to make sure the coloring doesn't clutter the design...

It looks great though! I've been working on flash art with skulls and roses for a long time, and it's good to see art like this. Not to mention the meaning behind it... I love how you described what it all means, signifying that you're not just getting it to "look cool"... I respect you more for that!

I'd say go for the one on the right,color it right and it will be perfect!

good idea, i think the angle of the left dagger is better, maybe put the rose behind it and show some more skull there..? but good job!
