    Hey people, my first post here. Just wondering if there are any artists out there who’d be willing to draw / sketch up a design.

    I am hoping to get a large/ full back tatt related to my work, I am a nurse (well, will graduate soon, will get tatt soon after).
    I was hoping for an angel either fighting off the angel of death, or pulling a person (hospital patient) either away from the angel of death, or away from ‘heaven’ and back to earth.
    I’m not really a believer in heaven, but the idea is cool.

    In regards to angels, something like this is what i’m looking for.

    in regards to the angel of death, I suppose the typical grim reaper.

    I can appreciate how difficult / time consuming for you to sketch up any design, and your effort is greatly appreciated.

    Hi and welcome to the forums 🙂

    Firstly no one here will draw you up anything, that is the artists job 🙂

    The most important thing is to get a top class artist.

    Where are you based?

    Look here for artist suggestions, a map I made and some fine artists on it 🙂

    Welcome to the forum!

    Peterpoose is correct.

    I’m not a fan of wings, etc. I would go with the two intertwined snakes on the septor style emblem.

    I had a strong feeling that would be the case, but figured I’d give it a try.

    I was also considering a hospital room with a dying patient in the bed, an angel mourning and a nurse in the room doing something like CPR or something simpler.

    In regards to the caduceus (the two snakes around a staff), the problem with that is that it is mistakenly used as a symbol of medicine and healing, when in fact it is a symbol of economy / prosperity. The correct sign is the ”rod of asclepius” , which is a single snake around a staff. Unfortunately it does not look nearly as badass.

    I think the caduceus looks a lot more badass for the record, but since it is mistakenly used to a symbol of medicine, I would have a hard time putting it on my body.

    How about a male angel wielding a caduceus instead of a flaming sword.
