Wondering if Someone would be willing to make me a sick tattoo that will go on the right side of my ribs. I am a Division 1 wrestler at the university of Virginia, and I have notice that a lot of people on here can make some sick things. So I was hoping someone would be able to make me a small tattoo design. I want the tattoo to be about my family and my grandpa who recently passed away. Well I will state below what I would like if you are willing to help.
Has to include the following or something like it-
Tex - that was my granpas nickname
A cardinal- I believe my grandpa has reincarnated into a cardinal, for numerous reasons
Riley- My familys name
A four leaf clover or something with being irish- I was born on St. Patrick Day and my family is like 100% irish
And with the idea of a guardian angel because of my grandpa-

You can add or remove things to this design I was just hoping someone can help me out. If I like your tattoo design I will probably get it put on my body and I will show you a picture when I am done.

You can build it on the computer or sketch it and scan it onto the computer... when your done or want to help send to

My aim name is -- tazrestling27

thank you for those of you who help and those of you who read this.

Hi tazrestling27, welcome to the forum.

For part of it, what comes to mind is a cardinal with the 4-leaf clover in it's beak. Not sure on the rest.

Maybe someone else will have more ideas Wink

ever think of going and researching artist in your area.. and going to sit down for a consultation and telling them these exact things you wrote here, and let them sketch something out for you so you can see in person?

I do like momma birds idea to start off...

perhaps an angel as the center piece.. and a cardinal flying about the angel with that clover in its beak -- and TEX / Riley arched about the piece? there's many options.

Cut back on the elements. You can't explain your whole life in one tattoo. I'd personally just get the cardinal with some Irish roses and a banner that said simply Tex.
