Hi, I'm new to the forums.

I'm working on a design for a tattoo on my left shoulder/arm. I'm considering a personalized Celtic shield design. I created this one, but I'm not happy with it yet. Please help me make it look like less of a grade school kid's family crest and more of a bad ass tattoo. Any advice or modified pictures will be greatly appreciated . Thanks

First, no-one but the artist who is going to tattoo you needs to draw your design. Ir really is a bad approach to tattooing.

That said, you're trying to cram 10 gallons of shit into a one gallon jug. Just WAY too much going on. Tiy have Kanji, a college logo, bad tribal, a viking ship, band logos, etc..

Come to think of it, is this a joke??? The idea is terrible.

Haha, I was kind of thinking the same thing (too much crap and all crappy logos) but i just threw this together in photoshop... i don't want this tattoo at all.. i want something like it.. i like the Celtic shield idea with knots and such... as for the other images i just tossed them on there. Oh and i didn't ask for anyone to draw it for me, i didn't draw this i just meant if someone wanted to mess with it, feel free.


Also wheres there a college logo? And there's no Kanji on there is there?


Thanks for the feedback though man.


PS Lets remove 9 gallons and then we have this...
