I'm not an artist, but I did this on GIMP in under an hour:
Imagine if I also had the ability to draw well, ie if I was a [tattoo] artist.
Obviously this is all just vague ramblings with no guarantee I'll ever follow through, but I wouldn't be asking for an exact replica of these images (thus the rough-ass edges in the original picture I posted and obvious slapdashery involved). I don't want one of those "perfect" portrait tattoos, because if one thing goes wrong it'll look freaky, but I do have a crush on her and her character and her storyline. And I'm in a place where I want a picture on me, not just more text.
This (http://eatingfastfood.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/rose-in-journal-of-impossible-things.jpg) is another image of her that I like, but there's no color and color was the whole point behind designing this tattoo. But as a backup plan, that image with my German text across it instead of what's currently there. But I'd miss the glowing yellow eyes.
Also. If the day were to come (it would have to be September 2013) when I decided that I was going to get this done (also, I forgot to mention but my new target is my upper thigh) I would definitely look at the previous work of all local tattoo artists and choose one who doesn't fuck up pictures of heads. :)
