SHADOW E G T

My Dad passed away last August and to keep him with me (I'm not really spiritual but it was something I had to do) I went to Hart and Huntington and got his initial [b:d03cab44da]E.G.T[/b:d03cab44da] inked in between my shoulder blades right below the shirt line. I love it as is but want to frame it with an artisitc pattern below the initals and cradling up around the sides. I'm just starting to toss around ideas. I want it symetric, solid black, most likely tribal in orientation but not cliche or eccentric. The initials are 2.5" high by 4" long. Suggestions welcome.

Hi, I am sorry for your dad!
See the artist that have done the tattoo initials and ask him/her to give you some ideas then take your time to see you like them or not.

My parents gave me a wall hanging at graduation with a quote on it that reads:"There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: One of these is Roots; the other, Wings."

I worked with my artist to design a framework that incorporated wings and a root. My initials are also somewhat hidden (MT) in the lower part.

Thanks for the compliment Nik. Hope he is. I'm getting another small piece added to it this weekend. Will post the pic when it's done.
