    I’ve always had a passion for skulls, pirates and jolly rogers, so i figured if i could find something that combined all three then I would have to get it inked. So here it is…

    Im thinkin of replacing the hook with a broken bottel of rum. A friend of mine suggested i put a naked women laying accross his legs but im not sure that would fit so well.

    Location of the tattoo would be on my back, going from my lower back to mid sholderblade. Im open for any ideas before i get it.

    The broken bottle of rum could be a great idea, is this staying as is or with color, I would do a few things in color and the rest in black pick particular things to color so it would stand out very well! Exp maybe the skull and cross bones on the hat or his bandanna:rolleyes: as for the women across the legs very good idea but I think in this picture it would be to much together, keep it simple for a great tat!

    i hope to have it started by september. Being in the military i dont make very much money so i gotta save it up. here in japan tattoos are a bit expensive, also i havnt even found a good artist to do it yet. At the latest… november.

    I like the idea of adding the bottle of rum to the image. As for the colour… black and white tats do look very effective, however i think adding colour to this would bring out the detail much better. Colour would highlight the skull for example, really giving it a much more powerful look.

    Cool illustration for a tat dude! Maybe you should put some background to it so it will come more alive. Like some vandals/flags or some oldschool lamps… its rather boring like this…

    I plan on putting ship in the background with black sails.

    once the main aprt of this tat is done you could easily expand and add a complete scene behind it. it lends itself easily to a lot of expansion.

    i really think you should go with the rum bottle also.
