An electric cross tattoo!!

Hey everybody. I know that there are probably a lot of people out there who are wanting advice on their first tattoos and such, so i guess I'm not different. However, I just wanted to know what people would think about my idea, so that's why i'm here. Here it goes: I want a cross, that is as realistic/rustic as possible on my upper arm (bi/tricept area), with a purple shawl running across the small beam. Then, even though that seems unoriginal, it was supposed to have a crown of thorns around the top, but I want to get the throns as a cord that spirals down my arm to just below my elbow. Once it gets the elbow it's going to look as if it's plugged into an electric outlet. Finally, once it's plugged in it will omit a light from all around the cross... That's my idea! I just wanted to know what people thought, and if they knew of anywhere that might be good at something like that around the Marshalltown, Iowa area. If you could help me out, or just tell me what you think, that would be great!! Thanks a lot!

That sounds surreal and has potential to be a fun tattoo! I like the idea, and it sounds like you have a solid plan to start from. The next step is to let your artist compose the design to fit the area for placement. You can view my portfolio at http://www.pureimaginationtattoos.com Good Luck!

Thanks Kandyman Joe. I went to Delusions here in town, and got an estimate, and i think i'm pretty close to making up my mind on it. It'll be a little longer, but when i get it i'll be sure to get some pictures and stuff. Thanks again and God Bless!! G-train
