I've had this design idea floating around in my head for quite a while now, but I'm no artist, and i can't think of any way to solve the problem.

So here's the problem: I want Alucard on my somewhere, but the picture I've got is from a screensaver so it just ends straight. I can't think of way to make it look less ... like I've nicked it from a screensaver Sticking out tongue

I thought about putting it on my foot, so it looks he's rising from the ground through my skin, but I want it better hidden than that. I haven't thought too much about sizes, but he'd have to be at least 10 cm high ... (I have got a larger picture than that). The other thing is I'm worried at how accurately the artist would be able to copy over the silhouette. It would be plain/block colour, probably dark red.

Any susgestions would be most welcome. This won't be happening for a few months at least, but I want to know what I want (if that makes sense)


`'Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

If you want his feet in, I'd

If you want his feet in, I'd just do a quick Google Image search for "Alucard" or "Alucard Hellsing" and print off a copy of what you've got and another which shows his feet/boots. Let your tattoo artist know that its the profile you want, but you want his feet added in too, and show the pic with these in view. Your tattoo artist (providing he/she is a decent one!) will take your images and trace the profile, but add the feet to the pic and show you it to see if its what you're after. They'll also make additions/changes based on your suggestions.

You could always amend your pic in photoshop or something so that its a black profile on a white background to make it easier to trace.

Most tattooists near me will draw a sketch for you for free before you commit to anything, so you can take it away and think about it. Once you've decided on a size, they may be able to suggest a good position for it, especially if its somewhere you want to be able to hide.
