Any artists bored?

Ive been wanting to get a tattoo for my uncle who passed away about 3 years ago, but i blow at drawing. The tattoo i want is pretty simple, needs to include the letters JB but i dont want it to be really busy or a ton of shit in it or ne thing. Itll be on my chest or inner bicep so not too big in size either. Probably wont get any takers but if someone is bored and can draw up something thats cool id really appreciate it.

i plan on gettin it all one color or just a shading type tattoo. I really have no idea what i want it to look like besides the letters JB. Anything someone can draw up would be amazing.

got a cardomian.. thats an awesome tribute.. i lost my great aunt and my cousin both within the last 3weeks.. holidays take a toll on the heart when you miss someone..

i cant draw for shit, but im anxious to see what they draw you

Kinda hard to draw, Based off of nothing, But ill give anything an attempt. Uploading a basic photo right now to see if im atleast on the right track so i can either scrap the idea, Or take the basic and straighten it up, And start running with it..

brb.

The "Partial circle" around the circle i was thinking of putting "Rest in" on top, And "Peace" on bottom. Im aware the part's that come out side of the circle are uneven, I was gonna do my best to fix that.

Trash it and start over? Any ideas come to mind?

Looks sweet dude, i do have some questions tho. The font of the rest in peace i dont really like. Not that its bad or ne thing like that just not my style. Something more plain almost block letter ish or something like that i dont know haha. And for the design on the outter side of the circle if i get you a design do u think u could mimic it? ik it sounds confusing just give me a min to get a picture

ok well the thing that came to my mind as soon as i saw the second picture was this hat my uncle ALWAYS used to wear. It was a union hat for the electrician or water company, he was an electrician for the indianapolis water company. It had gold leaves on it that were on the bill in a U shape on the outter edge of the bill of the hat. I was wondering if you could do leaves kinda in this fashion (link) next to the areas that say rest in and peace, http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.history.navy.mil/pics/visor2.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.history.navy.mil/Branches/teach/hats/hats7.htm&usg=___BXy71MVSoJkwAIlT57k0UqYDVY=&h=491&w=607&sz=213&hl=en&start=21&um=1&tbnid=wplue_6tmR7KUM:&tbnh=110&tbnw=136&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dgold%2Bleaves%2Bon%2Bhat%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26um%3D1

And if im asking too much just tell me to F off, just seein what u did got me excited cause ive been wanting this tattoo for quite some time now.

No, I enjoy doing stuff like this.

If you could get me a better pic of the Union thing, id appreciate it. Something with a faint outline.

And ill work on a diff font.

Hope you don't mind a critique from a guy who's done this for 27 years.

I love the graffiti font, it's big enough and bold enough.

The banners look too sharp, almost square edged. Soften them up, make it flow!

And I agree on the lettering, that'll be real hard to read on skin. Try a traditional tattoo font, like the one called "tattoo ink" on this page:
