Sam Wilson tattoo

[chase_acow]

My desktop crashed and the local geeks in the shop are replacing a few parts. Then I destroyed my lawn mower on a submerged brick in my backyard. So instead of budgeting for repairs/buying a replacement, my coworker and his kid are gonna mow for the summer, and I decided to buy one of these Simbans PicassoTab 10 Inch Drawing Tablet and Stylus Pen.

I am not good at it yet after a whole day and a half of practice. Tracing is a lot easier though. So I decided to mock up the tattoo I wanna get this fall after the weather turns. It's the Captain America shield but Sam Wilson style with a version of the MCU Falcon wings behind it. I want the shield to go on my upper arm with the wings framing my shoulder.

I might like to add words, but I haven't figured out which ones and am open to suggestions.

I also figure whatever actual artist does it will be able to make the wings look a lot more mechanical because that is not a talent of mine.

I like your sketch - that'll be an awesome tattoo!

thanks! I hope it'll all work out, my old guy moved away so I'll have to work up the courage to walk into a new place. : )

Lovely! I'm sure the finished design and tattoo will be amazing :)

Thanks! and I hope so. I have a windmill tattoo I sketched and took in, and my guy decided to just go with it - he was a good tattooer, but def not an artist- and while i like it, I can't help but blame myself when i noticed the oddest little defect. I don't particularly want to go down that route again.

Ooooh, very cool!
As a person who was married to a tattoo artist, and has tattoos - make sure that, after you have chosen your artist, have several images of 'mechanical' wings that you like/style that you like for them to see and work from, because verbal descriptions are apt to go awry, to everyone's frustration.

Damn, poor lawn mower! I am glad to have the Bebe's boyfriend to mow, heh, and weedwhack. Much nicer for me!

Oh, I will definitely try to be more into the process with this one. I was a little intimidated over the beginning of my sock, and I'd do it a lot differently over again.

I struggle between I AM A HOMEOWNER AND THIS IS MY LAND TO CARE FOR! and it's hot and I don't wanna. : )

I don't wanna, either. Bugs, poison ivy, heat? NO freakin' thank you.
