[REQ-OTHER] Tattoo Design Required - $100 reward

[Jacob Riez]

Type of Contest : Tattoo Design Contest for my first tattoo
Prize : $100
Contest End Date & Time : August 27th at 5:00 PM EST
Size Requirements : None, but please don't make it very small
Color Requirements : Black Ink only
General Requirements : Must be unique, not a copy of another persons tattoo (from your own brain!)
Additional Information : I am going to get my deceased brother Declan's birth year tattooed onto my chest. I do not want anything to do with death, RIP, ect. Please steer far from that. The year is 1991 or MCMXCI in roman numerals. I was thinking that it should be bold, but it doesn't have to be. Rather than just getting simple "numbers" or "numerals", I would like for it to be artistic. Maybe some shading, or adding something like a sun or clouds? My best advice would be to be UNIQUE! This will be a part of my body until, I too, depart from this earth.

PLEASE SEE THIS PICTURE FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE TATTOO:

I'd like to say thank you ahead of time. I have been a fan of some of the designers on here for a few months now. I cannot wait to see what you all can think up.

God Bless.
Jacob

The phoenix arises from fire, its life renewed, watched by the Sun and Moon. In memory of your brother.

I can provide variations that are simply the date if you wish. Or please suggest changes.

 

[Jacob Riez]

That's so beautiful right there. Thank you. Could you possibly show me a variation of just the phoenix? While keeping the other objects the same?

 

[Dominium]

I'm glad you like it! I'm not sure I understand what you mean regarding the variation. Do you mean that you want to see just the phoenix on its own?

 

[Jacob Riez]

I want you to just try changing the way the phoenix looks and keep the other objects the exact same. Also can you try making it a triangle around the whole thing instead of a circle?

 

[Dominium]

I have altered the phoenix's head to match the style of the wings in [1] and [2].

 

[Eric Lyon]

Here's a concept idea
I combined the following elements to encompass this ink: The infinity / eternal peace (figure 8) creatively blended with a heart of brotherly love, protected by heavenly wings, and attached to the roman numerals plaque along with the 1991 numerals to insure that even people that can't read roman numerals still understand the significance of the date.

Ok, now that is awesome! This is more of the shape I was looking for, and the design is superb. It would be nice to see some different wings on there. That may be the only thing that I can think of changing. Thank you so much for the entry.

God Bless.

So far Eric Lyon's "number 1" art is my favorite, followed by Dominium's edited circular art (with the spiky headed phoenix). It all depends on my mood Wednesday though!

I really like how Eric explained his concept behind the art too. That wouldn't hurt (other contestants)!

Sobi, that is really nice, but it's shape is too tall for my liking. I would like for it to be more rectangular horizontally rather than square or vertically rectangular. Also, I would try to steer away from a typical heart shape!

Thank you three for the beautiful artwork. I really appreciate your time.

God Bless.
Jacob
