alright guys, I'll be the first to admit I am FAR from artistic. I've been looking at getting a tattoo for a few years now, but unfortuantly what I want to get is some what how do you say it... odd.

alright here it goes.

1. It has to be a Badger, but kind of human body like EX: Badger (cartoonish)

2. it has to have a Maltese Cross background or him coming from the center of it.Example

3. Helmet with the "11" in the shield

4. Pickhead Axe being held.

5th and final: Smoke, I want it to look like he had just come out of a fire and the smoke is rising off his hair.

I am a firefighter, 4th Generation at that. In the fire department I am called Rabid Badger, mainly due to my height and the fact that I have a unnatural ammount of hair growth. So I want a tattoo that ties in my nick name and the one thing I love the most firefighting.

I am not looking for anything like right now, nor am I in a rush, or does it have to be perfect. I am just trying to get ideas for what I want. None of the above are actual things I want. In terms of looks, but are things I want incorparated. If anyone wants to tackle this project I would be in your debt.

Well since I love watching Miami Ink, wouldn't the actual tattoo artist be the one to design this? I'd be a little concerned about having to redraw someone else's art, plus it will tend to influence the final, that is to say water it down.

Anyway good luck, I'm sure someone with a more cartoony style will snatch this up and go with it!

I'm with Lady J on this one. Most tattoo artists are very reluctant to ink someone with someone else's art. From the sound of what you want, it would be a lot easier if you talked to the guys at the parlor and have them work something up with you.

thanks guys, I actually hadn't even thought of that at all... I am so busy working that I only have enough time to get on check the boards than I am off on the next job.

I also want to add though, I wasn't looking for a "final" or anything of the sort, I was more looking for something I could show the artist at the palor and say. This is where my vision is going what can you do with this to improve/change and make awesome. I'd sketch it myself and like I said it wouldn't be nice since it be more likely stick figures, lol.

Actually... none of the artists I know *must* ink their own. My inker would certainly have been a bit miffed after 45 hours worth of MY art being done... >_>

My friend Ashigaru has done a design for one of our friends, with a faintly similar feel (though not a person in it). You might want to drop him a line - however he'll be in Japan for a week, so he won't be back until the end of the month.

I just wish my friend had that design on his DA site. It's quite nice.

A friend of ours, former Marine and current Sherrif's Officer, got it on his calf. It's a military rifle, with a trio of helmets - military, firefighter, soemthign else, and boots - and "For those who fall" written over it. It's *gorgeous*.
