I would like to ask any designers, artists, tattooists, or just anyone who fancies having a go to design my next tattoo. I am offering 1 billion ISK reward for the design I choose. Here is my brief......

I have a celtic tree of life on the top of my arm, and I want my 2 son's names beneath it, keeping the Celtic theme so it fits nicely with the tree. The names are 'Tyler & Harvey'.

That's it. Be as creative as you like, but not too complex. If I like your design, and decide to use it. I will pay you 1bil, and post photo's here of the finished tattoo.

Any questions, feel free to ask here.

Aren't these by nature simply a vertical oval with a name inside? Or is it just an oval with a line at the base running perpendicular to the oval?

If not have the corresponding letters of their names cross to make an "X" out of the 2....although it might be more of a V...

Making an X is a cool idea, but if I have another child, I would have to change it...

Easy solution... Vasectomy.

Less painful than a tattoo.

I want 2 Egyptian cartouches, one with the name 'Tyler' and one with the name 'Harvey' in them. These are the names of my children.
The tattoo will be located on the side of my left arm between the elbow and the shoulder. I have a celtic tree of life on the shoulder, so it can't be too large.

That's it. Be as creative as you like, but not too complex. If I like your design, and decide to use it. I will pay you 1bil, and post photo's here of the finished tattoo.

Considering it, but could you elaborate a bit on what you might want? I just looked up a cartouche and it's extremely simplistic on it's own, and that plus a name just isn't very inspiring...

1 billion ISK for a vasectomy? PM me for an appointment.

Edit: I'd agree that a cartouche by itself is rather uninspiring in its simplicity. Can your sons' names be written in hieroglyphs on said cartouches?

Im hoping you guys will provide the inspiration. Be as creative as you like, as long as my sons names are in cartouches, you can do whatever with it.

doesn't that defeat the purpose of it being Egyptian?

The purpose is the cartouche symoblises protection from evil and good luck.

But English words on a cartouche are just going to be names with ovals around them. A cartouche, by definition, has hieroglyphics on it.

Might I suggest cartouches with your sons' names in hieroglyphs, and then your sons' names in English appearing above or below the cartouches?

I thought you wanted hieroglyphs in the first place?

So here's one. http://www.virtual-egypt.com/newhtml/glyph/glyph.cgi

and http://www.virtual-egypt.com/newhtml/glyph/glyph.cgi

insert names here if link no workie. http://www.virtual-egypt.com/newhtml/glyph/glyph.html

So with the original idea... Your sons names would intersect at a reed as they share that in common. You could be symbolic with the sun sign and place that above and in the middle of the two cartouches which would be vertical adjoining one another.
Technically they can be horizontal, but I guess that was done less often. They're also usually read right to left.
0 <--- sun
Name 1 ---> | | <---- Name 2

I do have something rough in picture however can't send it via eve mail.
