Hey, my idea is this. I want a 7 inch or so tattoo on my upper left back of a cross with a picture inside of it. I want Jesus inside looking over a community(with maybe a church) and a thorn crown and a tear coming out of his right eye. Maybe some clouds in the backround with lightning. Do you think it is possible to look good and fit inside the cross? Also, if you have any other ideas on how to expand it inside the cross please let me know! How much do you think it would cost me? Thanks!

that's probably gonna cost you quite a bit. around here, something like that would be done in more than one sitting. 7" may be a little small to incorporate everything that you want. talk to your artist about pricing, how many sittings, and what size it really should be to get everything you want out of it. something with that much detail will probably have to be quite large to get everything you want... since over time the ink will settle and may make the work, if it is small, almost unrecognizable. (i've seen it happen to friends of mine... and they now wish they had gone larger!) just make sure you find a really good artist that can get you everything you want out of your tattoo!
