hey guys, i know its not a standard request, but i figured i would post anyway
my wife and i are talking about getting tattoos, so i was messing around drawing some ideas, she just wants a simpler flower, on her foot.
i want a roman numeral for 5, (V) in the german flag colors, on my shoulder
i want the V because i am john the 5th...so i want to honor that, and i want german flag colors because there is no heritage in my family except german, so.....
and id like to include my last name somehow, if possible, FRY, and my anniversary, also in roman numerals.....X-XV-MMV, BUT the issue i am running into is, i cant come up with any cool fonts except varsity style letters......can any of you guys come up with some cool ideas for me?
i have attached the best idea i had.....

my last name and anniversary date are not vital, but the roman numeral 5 and the colors are....any help?

BTW, im looking to have this be about 4inches high, by 2-3 wide.....

 

so varsity style letters are what are in the picture? just to clarify

I am somewhat apt ar doodling so I can play around a bit tomorrow and get back to you. but I have a question real quick though.

can you describe your tastes a bit? I mean are you a clean, simple, and elegant kinda guy, or are you more of an urban kind aguy?

I've been doodling some graffiti recently so that is why I ask, I can try and do something up that is a bit more in that style or somethig that is a bit more classical too if you want to keep it that route.

 

ok.....the varsity letter is the shape of the V....you know what a roman numeral 5 looks like....a V with a line on top and on bottom, well i cant find anyway to make it look cool, without it looking like a capital V from a varsity jacket....does that make sense? im not sure how to explain it


im traditionally a clean, simple kinda guy, but im open to any ideas.......
basically any sweet looking variations on a roman numeral 5, with the color pattern in my sketch


samples....THIS....
looks like the letter on a varsity jacket.....


THIS....

im not opposed to modern design either.....
