The tower is free hand from the artwork in Wizard and Glass. The top of the tower is kinda from the beach pic in Gunslinger and David is from the sketch in Gun, minus Roland. Because the Pictures are all different, I gave them to my tat artist and just told her to have fun with it.
She did a great job combining all of those elements into the design for your tat!
I am desperatly trying to figure out a way to incorporate a rose into to tattoo somewhere. if anyone has any thought, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a few ideas, but dont know if they will work out well.
put the rose in David's mouth... or is it open? lol
Human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth.
bumping to the next page. I think the rose in David's mouth is a super idea. Would you keep the rose black or would you add the color of red?

I was considering suggesting around the bottom but in Davids mouth or talons is a great idea.
I know you can't see his feet well but it might still work.

That tat of yours Bumbler is fantastic. I imagine it was painful getting it done on the spine.
The rose in the mouth might work. Like the talons even better. As you said, Matt, cant really see them. But I guess we could add them in. Maerlyn, I have not decided on black or white yet... just want it in there lol. Blackrose, thank you. Up to the point where the picture was taken, it never hurt much. This last session, we went back thru most of it with a deeper black and it was more painful.
Or you could forget the rose and put the Eye of the CK on there, with crimson cracks coming out of it spreading out in the Tower..

So I should get a crimson crack... I dont know if my artist will be too fond of doing that, and it seems like a lot of pain! But I do like that idea. Thanks

I am starting to love this place. Who knew I could have so much fun with a bunch of fellow King nuts, and not be stuck in Denny's?
Wait, this isn't Denny's??? Hear I am waiting for my damn chicken fried steak!!
Crap!

I figured some of you might feel right at home at the old Denny's. Looking at this page though, I have no idea what thread I am on...
Thanks for the warning.

new here looking for some help
I am looking for a decent size picture of the gun and rose in the keyhole that appears on the cover of the hardback books, I want to get a tatoo of that pic, but I need a bigger picture to give to the artist. My other choice, and I may eventually do both, wpould be the ee of the Crimson King. Thanks in advance for any help.
