So... a tat?

(Click the images to get the full picture)

So, one thing led to another the other evening. This is my tattoo idea. I think it's hilarious.
The tattoo would be on my right side most likely, around the ribs I imagine. Here's the idea.

The idea isn't entirely mine, so I cannot take credit for it's greatness. Billy and Day are the center of most of the inspiration. But sometimes you just need to make an idea your own.

Something like this would be put on my right side

Now, that right there alone looks pretty funny and pretty serious at the same time. If that was all I did, it'd still be down right hilarious. The check marks are an excellent touch.

These five Solas of the reformation would actually be put on something like this.
My skin color would actually probably be the color of the parchment. There would only be a darker outline to let people know that is indeed parchment.
Now here is where the tattoo gets that much more fun.

Martin Luther would be peeking over the the top of the parchment, Giving a thumbs up. He'd have exaggerated cartoony features. His left hand would probably be holding the top of the parchment and his right would be giving a thumbs up.
Here is what He looks like.

And here is kind of an idea of what kind of cartoony thumbs up I'm going for.
I think it'd be a good idea to have Luther's head be a bit bigger than his body. Just an idea. Finally to cap off the piece, two other famous fellows would be underneath the parchment kind of standing back to back, also giving a thumbs up.

John Calvin!

John Calvin would look like John Calvin. He'd be skinny, old, and scrawny. He'd be decked in full robes and unlike Luther, His whole figure would be revealed under the parchment rather than just half of it sticking out like luther would be.

The next fellow is none other than Charles Spurgeon!
Spurgeon would be full of life, and well round... it'd be a nice contrast to calvin.

I think it's also very appropriate to note that each figure (luther, calvin, and spurgeon) would have a very satisfying smirk of sorts on their faces. Spurgeon and calvin would be back to back giving a thumbs up as well.

For some reason, this idea reminds me of those mentos commercials where they hold out the mentos with that big smile on their face at the end of the commercial. Check it out-
