I like this one. Of course she'd need brown hair and I'd probably have to adjust the colors to match my current tattoo. What do you think??

Nice, lots of detail.

Kinda a lotta detail. How big is the tat you wanna get? And where?

BTW, I don't think I'd go in to the tat artist with an exact "this is what I want". I *would* bring examples in and explain what look you are going for, and then let the artist create an original work. I think that's part of the beauty of having a tattoo... having a original piece of artwork on your body. (Personally, I wouldn't want anything that anyone else has. My tat artist drew up my lotus and added his own touches. Very personal.)

Nic, I swear with summer coming, I will work on your tattoo if you still want me to. I kind of agree with Costacat about the detail, I think it might be too much, especially with your heart tattoo being so much simpler. I would go with simpler lines and colors to match the heart tattoo. I don't think it would "fit" as it is above. If you really want the angel to be sitting on top of the heart you already have, it really needs to look like one piece of art, rather that two separate and noticeably different pieces side by side, in my humble opinion. :-)

It is a lot of detail. I would "simplify it". I have a heart on my hip and want to have an angel sitting on top of it.

LOL... unless you've got a REALLY big hip, or you want the angel to go all the way up your side, you may want to seriously simplify it.

I agree with Hermi though... Simpler lines would better match an existing tat. You really don't want it to look like you had a heart done, didn't like it, and had someone else do the angel. Or, I wouldn't! :-)

Do you have a tat artist already? Go talk to him or her, tell the artist what you want, and see what he/she draws up. You can bring in your detailed angel, and see what they can do. They should do the artwork though. (Er, or Hermi! LOL....)

I agree with both of you. I think I may have to take Hermi up on her offer to help me come up with an angel that fits with my current tattoo. I'll use the same tat artist who did my heart, she's great!

Vaca, what happens if you start yelling and swearing from getting an angel tattoo? Will you get in trouble with the "big guy"? Maybe you should just settle for some angel wings and then you can swear all you want and just pretend they're fairy wings or something. Here are a couple of samples I found, although I don't know what your heart tattoo looks like:

That's an idea I hadn't thought of Huk! It could work. I got my tat on January 06, 2006 but the thread doesn't go back that far. I'll keep looking.

I like the bottom one, but then again, the purples and yellows and greens are what's in MY tat!! :-)

I like the idea of wings, Nic!

This is my tat. I'm not sure how the wings would work with it but I like the idea as well.

I think angel wings would look just fine!

Here's my tat, by the way! :-)

Lotus flower tat

I really ought to filter it... it was taken without a flash in my office, so the fluorescent lights made it look really yellow! In the flower, there is bright yellow and purple; the leaves are varying shades of green.

Ohhh Costa ... your lotus is beautiful!! Is it on your lower back??

My heart is just on my lower back on the left side ... closer to my bum. And that picture was taken on the second day so I'm really red!

Yup, lower back, right in the center, below my waist.

So Nick, check this out... really quick I just stuck the two tats together...

And oh yeah... that tat is REALLY close to where you shouldn't get any sunlight.

Funny thing about that pic... for obvious reasons, it's kinda hard to see your own tat when it's on your lower back. So a friend at work just happened to have a camera in her purse (she's got kids...'nuff said!) and took a pic so I could see what it looked like! LOL...

One more thing... Nick, how big is your heart? You *could* maybe do the angel, holding your heart. But the angel would probably be a fairly big tat.

I don't know, the wings with the flag print seem to clash to me.

My tat isn't small. If I had the angel holding it, she would have to be very large. I was considering her sitting or laying on top of the heart.

Here's some wings I found that have the same type of "theme" as my tat. I'd want to soften them up but .. what do you think???

I don't really like those, I like an angel better, but, Nic, remember this is YOUR body and YOUR tattoo. :-)

I like that one better. But if a fairy is what you want then go for it. Get a wee one sitting on the heart.

I want an angel sitting on the tat. You can't imagine how difficult it is to find a sitting angel .... brunette, legs hanging over one edge, wings on the other. I think I may have to beg Hermi to help me "create" her!

Vaca, this particular one might not be "beautiful" but you could have your angel leaning on the top of your Union Jack heart.
