Hi all.

I had a very good experience the first time i did a request on the forum, so this time i hope for the same kindness :)

Ive decided to get a new tattoo, and i have a cupple of ideas, the problem is that im not that creative so i hope that some of you can help me.

its on my arm, and it has to say MADSEN with the font "OLD ENGLISH TEXT MT" from photoshop





As u can see i cant get it to look good :/ it can be bigger, but i think that it will look cool if it starts at the middle of the tattoo i have now, and goes futher down, - like to where the hand begins - If you have other cool designs i am open for suggestions :) but i hope that you get the idea of what im looking for :) And hope for some answers :)

Also, can this be "tattoo´able"

Thanks in advance

Your almost there just add a slight gaussian blur to the text and lower the opacity of the text layer possibly warp it a bit to fit the arm.

The death image can be done as a freeform tattoo no problems, just go to a professional tattooist please.

Here is what I achieved do your text right click the text layer and select rasterize type press control T and in the transform box right click and select warp. Warp it to your arm and then duplicate the layer a couple of times blur 1 with gaussian blur and lower opacity lower the opacity of the other copy and then select a solid colour adjustment layer and choose a tint colour to match close to your original tattoo (not easy) and then right click the colour layer and select create clipping mask. play withblending modes of each layer and opacity until you have what you like here is my psd as well.
