I wonder if anyone can help, OH has been nagging me to let him get another tattoo for months, and i've told him we'll both get one as soon as i've had my 6 week check (just had a baby ;) ) from docs.

I have a picture of the exact design i want, (and any devoted x-files fans may recognise it. :ugeek:) but its at an angle which obviously is no good. :roll: I also have a rough picture of the same design head on, but it's very rough.

...So i was wondering if any of you wonderful people :mrgreen: are talented enough, or know of anyone talented enough to draw it out for me?

I'd love you forever if you could. ;) :mrgreen:

Just found a video of the x-files scene which shows it at a better angle... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES7bTlAXw8Y

:mrgreen: Thank you, you're a star.

I have no artistic talent whatsoever unfortunately for me. :roll:

Will attempt a hand-drawn one tomorrow

Beth,

I drew the head of this snake a few times before realising that this design is pretty simple. Even a reasonable tattoo artist will be able to recreate this design without too much problem. I'd just print these various versions of the image and take them with you... I don't think it needs to be redrawn. In fact, I think a tattoo artist will make it look a whole lot better and maybe put in some detail.

Will have to pop in and have a chat with a tattooist, they're just such miserable wotsits most of the time i try to avoid spending too much time with them. :roll:

I don't know what you did to the picture, but thats much better anyway, thank you! :mrgreen:

Beth,

Michelle asked me to resize this. She did the drawing for you (and a damn fine job too). I sharpened it to make the detail easier to see.

Nice work Michelle! :D
