I need help with my tattoo concept, attention artists (Marc, GilT, etc?_
If there's one thing I wish I could do/be, it would be to be able to draw/be an artist. I have so much respect for the great artists out there... You lucky bastages!
So here's the deal, I want to get a white ink tattoo done (don't lecture me on the white ink, I think its awesome as hell and thats why Im getting it)... Nothing big or fancy... Was thinking of 4x4" at the maximum... so 4x4" or smaller. I have a few ideas about it in my head but since I suck so badly at drawing/art, its been very difficult for me to start a design, this is where you guys come in handy, that is if you're willing to help, I know some of you get off on this sort of stuff and I'd REALLY appreciate it.
There are a few things I'd like, and I'll list them:
1. Gun of some sort, perhaps in mid-fire with the slide cocked back with a bullet coming out...
I don't want it to be super realistic, I want to add a bit of flavor to the design... You artsy folks are good at this, I however suck the ***** of a donkey... I was thinking that the bullet exiting the gun could have wings or something like that. I'd of course want you to add you artistic flavor to it, what I just described is the absolute BARE minimum... just a concept to work with. If you're not feeling that concept, another one that I've been thinking of:
1. Since I've been wanting a barcode tattoo for a while, I thought about getting one on my forearm, but that wouldn't be very exciting... So I started thinking... I pictured an eye with a barcode as a pupil instead of the standard pupil. It would be very subtle but the concept would be very cool in my opinion. I'd love to see what you artistic guys/gals could come up with based off those concepts.
You're all welcome to do anything you want if you think I'll like it... I'm open to new ideas. Any help is GREATLY appreciated, and if I choose your design I'll send you a priority box exchange box with random stuff in it.

My friend suggested this concept which I think is pretty bad ***:
"or what about a silhouette of the statue of liberty with an AK held above her head instead of a torch?"
I have a tattoo already that represents Germany and Croatia (where Im from) but I have nothing for the USA, so that tattoo would complete me.

Probably something totally different than what you're looking for, but your description of the eye tattoo made me think of the book "Jennifer Government."
Here's a pic of the cover - thought you might want to see it just in case it has some elements you like...
I'm a pretty good illustrator/Photoshopper but I am just starting a new web project, in Chinese - I'm going to be a little overwhelmed for a bit. When I get a moment I'll try to Photoshop a couple ideas for you.

You could do that and add an AR or AK over her shoulder. Something american would be appropriate though. Are MP4's american?
