Hi all, I have a recent idea for a full back, or nearly full back tattoo that I would think about getting done. It would be, I think, a very complex tattoo and unless I felt the drawing were perfect, I’m not sure I would feel comfortable getting it put on my back.
Seeing the movie helps, as I can’t find pictures of all the things I would like to base it off of.
Basicaly, my idea is a storyline going top to bottom, left to right. The upper left would start with Sheriff Cooley and his bloodhound, hopefully he’ll be large enough to see the fire reflected in his goggles.
The net step in this storyline would be the three escapees running through the field (I’m thinking about when they’re running towards the blind man and his push cart on the RR tracks), and the bottom right corner (ish) would end with the seen where Delmar is being wiped free of all of his sins in the river.
If anyone could draw something that follows these basic guidelines, that would be incredibly appreciated.
If i decide to do this, it would be in B&W and it would be my first tattoo, so I really want to make it a god one.
Thanks,
Fark.
Hi Fark
Without meaning to be awful what you are requesting is around 15-20 hours of solid drawing for a full detailed backpiece.
Coupled with that it may only be a possible tattoo as opposed to a definite one I cannot see any artists jumping to do that for free.
If you are serious about it I would recommend a portrait artist who will measure you up and with the way you have described I am sure could do a piece.
There are 2 ways you can do this;
You can go for a cartoon strip style with boxes and possibly word balloons showing each scene.
Or
You can go for a portrait without borders so that each section flows into the next and the viewer has to decipher the chain of events.
I would recommend if possible taking some pics of the charcaters to the artist so they can draw it up.
Eg 9I know these are from the film but there maybe books you can use)

Pay a deposit and get a pro artist to sketch it up.
If you decide you don’t want the tattoo at least you will have some great wall art.

Ok, I figured that would be the majority of any responses received. I’m definately willing to pay a deposit for the artwork, but I’d rather go to an artist that it would be possible to get the tattoo done with (sorry, any artists outside of N. Illinois/S. Michigan).
And to Butterfly_Kisses…
While it’s inspired by the movie, it’s not related to the movie (in my mind), it has a meaning completely seperate from the movie.
Though it is quite good 😀
