Hi, I have been thinking of getting my first tattoo for quite some time about 7 months. I was thinking I could just do text but then I thought if theres any way I could turn this into a design that'd be that much more awesome. The quote is from Shakespeare's Macbeth. it reads "The sleeping and the dead are but as pictures" If you have any thoughts on the quote, to me it means perception is everything. What images come to mind for you? Also I'm concerned about placement. Just brainstorming. Thanks.

a dude on a gurney in the morgue with a rockin hard-on. j/k. a friend of mine has a cool tattoo of a chick on a metal slab with amazing blue eyes crying (she is a coroner :lol: ).

as for serious ideas im not sure but i definatly think that images are better than quotes any day of the week.

I think I may have changed that quote for him forever. That's the problem with other people volunteering images for you.

2 picture frames tilted towards each other, 1 with a sleeping beauty in it and the other with a female corpse.
