A bit confused with the block part of your criticism. I take it that would be a bad thing?

"Bad" is objective. Plain block symbols can carry an artistic sense in their own way. Just speaking my opinion. It's worth it's weight in electrons.

Well that's what I was getting at, something more objective =P

Have you considered talking to an artist to create something for you? I do agree that the Coexist thing is a little played out but there's no reason you can't make it your own.

I've done a few tatoo designs. I do one the way they asked and one the way I would do it. The one thing that all the people have in common is they like my designs better than their ideas.

You're going to have this forever so spend a few extra dollars and have a pro give you something amazing.

Either way, good luck and I hope you enjoy it.

Here's a couple sketchs I did for some friends tatoos.

The first was a snake wrapped around a dagger. Nice, but changing the dagger to a sword and adding a backround I think makes a better statement.

The second was a simple lions head. How may of those have you seen? But by changing the mane to flames it adds a personal touch.

Hit up a local artistor maybe your tatoo guy and let him see what they can do for you.

I thought your design was the one you were taking to the artist to have done. Not letting the artist design it.

My mistake then. I've seen too many crap jobs because someone thought something looked good and they go to the guy and tell him to ink it.

Doh! I meant subjective.
Sounds like you have a good plan.
