All right, so this is the first time I have written down this idea... And I really love it. It's basically to show that I have and always will get over whatever is thrown at me, no matter how high the wall.

A fantasy/realistic wolf on my back with wings, one wing being bandaged to symbolize a broken wing. Surrounding this wolf will be shadowy gray birds (my name that my mother gave me is actually Graybird, but my biological father changed it -_-). Across, or under (dunno yet) will be a banner with a section of the song A Broken Wing by Martina McBride. The quote will be: "With a broken wing, she carries her dreams and you ought to see her fly!" I want this to be a fairly decent sized gray piece but not a backpiece that goes shoulders to tailbone. One of the wolf's paws will kind of be raised up and she'll be turning her head to almost look skyward. I would love to add other elements to her, but I am unsure what else to add as of yet.

Any ideas or comment? Anything at all would be appreciated!

well, i can see it in my head as a nice looking back piece, but how set are you on the main animal being a wolf? I think since she named you gray bird and it's about you, maybe a symbolic girl with wings instead? i like the idea of the birds in the background, and it being in gray, i love black and white tattoos lol

The reason behind the wolf is because not only is it my favorite animal, but I've been told by a few shamans as well as my mother (who is heavily native american) that my spirit takes the form of a wolf instead of a human entity... but that is a really good idea!

lol ahh i see lol

well if you get the entire thing done, make sure not to condense it too much, or try to fit too much inside the arean you want it in. i think if you let the tattoo flow and breathe it would look a lot nicer lol Maybe some smokey edges or clouding effects on the outsides?

Okay here's an update....

I'm going to be doing a shoulder to shoulder scarab tat. I may get the winged wolf underneath it at some point, but not for a while. I will post pics as soon as I get the tat/tats done. I'm aiming for February... I just SUCK at drawing... but I'll post a pic of the drawing once I get that done first. smile
