So I'm thinking of getting a tattoo but only if I really really like how it looks seeing as I'll be living with it the rest of my life.

I know I want a supra in it and the grim reaper.

I want to have the supra in a full drift and the grim reaper as the background of the supra trying to reach out and consume the supra in its arms. I don't want it completely head on but at a slight angle. And it's going on my back and left side.

I don't wanna go for a cartoon look at all I want it to pop out at you and have you really see the reaper trying to keep up with the supra in drift lol

Basically I'm trying to draw it out but having a hard time. I am good at drawing and sketching but just cant get the image in my head down on paper. I was wondering if anyone was interested in drawing this out for me. We could work out some kinda deal or whatever.

I'm gonna have it done in a upper right to lower left angle and only taking up from my spine to half way around my side. this I'm not really stuck on as long as it's gonna look really good lol

Thanks to anyone who replies, also if anyone has any ideas of people who might draw it out for me that would be kool to. thanks

I am not trying to knock your style or anything, cause I think the idea is great. But my guess is your young. If your under 20, think about it for a good 8 months to a year. I love my supra, I love all supras, but I don't think I will 20 years from now. Just think about it for a while before you do it. If you do it, I hope it looks as good as the image I have in my head.

I'm 21 but close enough lol and I have thought long and hard about this. Really I never thought I would want a tattoo because I could never think of somthing I would like. But I knew if I could come up with something I liked I'd do it. I'm by no means done thinking about it yet ether but I do understand where your coming from.

As far as posting up sketches I'll have to work on that so far they have been so rough you cant even tell it's a supra or the reaper just some lines trying to figure out the angle I want.

As stated make sure you want it. It also gets very addictive. I made the mistake of putting my first 3 on my forearms, so now since I'm not super rich, it looks VERY naked since I can't afford a ton of ink to finish my arms out.

so here are a few pictures for refrence

i want the supra just a little more angle in the opposite direction though and in drift

the face is kind of the way i want it to look but a little more covered by the hood or some torn cloth over his face and a slightly open mouth

the blue reaper is just for the style of body I want it to be a cut off body like that not a full standing body. a torn robe not a clean one i like the detail of it. also wanted him flying after the supra so a little angle him as well. with his scythe on his back

sorry if I'm sounding picky just trying to give a really good discription of how I picture it looking

I'm very happy with it but not done yet, I still have two sittings to go with finishing some shading and then the color. I'm going to go with a blue color for the supra.

WOW is all I have to say. To each their own....

lol I ether get your response or people who like it lol

It's symbolic for me, in the work the supra symbolizes me never looking death in the face or ever being afraid of it
