A buddy and I are looking to get tattoo’s and we both have ideas but no real way to express what we are thinking and I was hoping someone here could help.
-His idea is to have the Yankees symbol on his pectoral but with his initials instead of the traditional NY. Something this size.

his initials are J and H. He wants the H in the middle with the J running through it.
-My idea was to have an achilles tattoo that goes from my waist line up to my armpit along my side.
I was looking for a front on image like this:

but full body all the way up and down my side.
I also want him holding his short sword like this:

but with the shield showing just enough to put the names of my family within the shield.
something that looks like this but for myself.

I know its very in-depth and long, but thats why it’s so hard to explain. It’s been very hard to find anyone who can give me a proper pencil drawing or something to take in and give the artist.
Thanks in advance.
Hi
First of all you really want to check out some history sites and drawings as the armour worn by Brad Pitt is bnot 100% accurate also in some scenes I am sure it was a gladius (roman stabbing sword) he was wielding.
The statue is a much more accurate version of the sword and leather/bronze plate armour.
Check out the painting by Tiepolo, Giovanni Battista I think it was called the Anger (or poss rage??) of achillies
This shot of the statue will also help with the armour

Your friend’s tattoo is very simplistic and any pro can put that design together just need to decide on the in fill of the tattoo for that.
Take Care
