Artist's Comments

I am hoping to get a tattoo on the outside of my right calf sometime over the next year. I wont get it until I figure out a design I am happy with and know I will like for the most part, when I am older. This is one of the possible candidate tattoos. I will be posting the others once i get the revamps redrawn and to a point I am half satisfied with. Also, Sorry about the quality of the image itself, it is a picture and not a scan as I would have wished it to be. I have used contrast and brighten to make the lines stand out moreso, for easy viewing.

Please feel free to comment on things you like, dislike, would change, wouldnt change, addons, etc etc.

DESCRIPTION of this design:
- Size is apprx. 16 cm high by 16 cm wide (will be scaled smaller if used for a tattoo)
- A compass rose is the main design in all my tattoo designs. It is somethign I have liked for almost always and will be encorperated as a symbol of some of my personal beliefs on life (not to be explained)
- The three top stars (left) represent my mom, my (biological) father, and my (adoptive) dad.
- The three bottom stars (right) represent my half siblings Matt (deseased), Doug, and Tabatha (I).
- The map on either background is view of Canada from a "satelite" which was situation over the northern most point of the globe, hence why it looks destorted.

Yet to come:
- The blank portion on either "empty" circle part is going to be filled in accrding to my close siblings, Roy and Tabatha (II). A rose, perhaps for Tabby (Tabatha Rose) and a pine sprig for my brother maybe, to represent his outdoorsy personality.

I dont know what exactly will be the finished product, but, those are some ideas.

Well George Clooney probably does date way hotter chicks than me, but I probably eat way more beef jerky than he does.....so I guess it all evens out......

Thank you, and yeah; I told myself that the only way I would get a tattoo is if I designed it have some personal value to it. It was going to be a generic tattoo.

Not. A. Clue.

lol, I dont know, probably Stacey (at Tattoo4u right?) since it is the closest besides Larry and I know she does quality work. I will probably scout some places in TBay though, as the thing will require some good shading, eventually and I want to know I am getting the best of the best... I will get the outline done first of course, then goback later to get the shading done.
