Tattoo Help!

Journal Entry: Wed May 31, 2006, 10:42 AM
No Submissions Received.. I suck.

I suppose you could say this is a contest, but its more like a desperate plea for help.

What I have:
In my younger days (3 years ago when I was 18) I got myself a drunken tattoo with a few of my friends. I wanted a tattoo but I didn't take a lot of time to think about it, so I got the typical Canadian Tattoo, a Canadian Flag. Its on my left shoulder, and currently has the red colouring, but the white part was left clear (and I have freckles, so its kind of amusing). I am posting this from work, so if needed I can post a photo of the actual tattoo at a later time.



What I Want:
Take the existing tattoo, and expand on it. Make it something original. Unfortunatly, I can't draw, not even a bit. This is why I need help. Its been three years since i've wanted it changed, and I figure this might be a way to start that change.

Facts about Me
In no way must you use any of these random facts. I Just figure it might be easier to match something I like, if you know a little about me.


  • I grew up in North Western Ontario so I have a passion for the outdoors.
    Stars, water, skies, sunsets, flowers all things Nature

  • I love music: I don't play any instrument, nor can I sing, but I love to listen and enjoy. If you wanted to include a lyric or something like that on it, just ask me for something.

  • My favourite colours are Green, Red, and Orange.

  • Randomly: I'm Irish, My mother has MS and she inspires me to be strong, I play a lot of sports, I'm a Taurus, my initials are BH (H for Hurley)


My Tattoo Style:
I could sum up what I like as simple and feminine but not girly, but I decided the best thing to do would be to look around deviant art and feature some tattoos I enjoy. Some I may like the entire tattoo, some I may only like small parts. If you decide to graciously help me out, then feel free to ask me for any details.





Additional Stuff
Now, I know expanding on the worlds most boring tattoo isn't easy. So If you can't think up any ideas to fix the ugly, then I will also look at designs that dont encorporate the flag because I still have a lot of free canvas.

If you are brave enough to help me out, just leave me a comment here letting me now someone feels my pain, and then send me a link to the tattoo in a note when you're done.

As for now, I don't have a deadline because It may take me a while to drum up some interest for this challenge. I'll update this in a bit to set a firm deadline.

Feel free to pass this on to whomever you please, cause I need help!

Alright, here are two lousy pics of the actual tattoo. Sorry for the crappy quality, I didn't have anyone around to help :)

Sounds interesting, I may have to see what I can come up with next time I get bored. (I used to draw fake tattoos on my friends in permanent marker a lot, heh. I like doing viney stuff, so the style will probably be compatible anyway. Not really sure how I can mutate a Canadian flag though... O.o)

Just wondering but what kind of colors (if any) are you looking into? Like, do you want there to be color or just simply black/red? Also, can the art be done OVER the Canadan flag? I have this quirky idea of expanding the flag idea a little bit...

Interesting project: could we get a shot of the original tattoo?

Hmm, not sure the modification thing's gonna work out too well. All I've done so far is make a really retarded looking vampire maple leaf. :P

Colours are up to you, anything goes! As for being over the Canadian Flag, since i'm not a tattoo artist I have no idea if going over the flag will actually work, but I will allow it :)
