Any great pix of LIONFISH? (for tattoo)

Hi all. I've wanted a tattoo for a while, and i've decided to do it. Now, I need a great picture to base the art on.

So, if you have an awesome pic, from your tank or a dive, pls post.

I will be getting the fish done very nearly symmetrically (so head-on), but the picture doesn't have to be perfectly head on, I am betting an artist can make it so.

Thanks!
Angela

(it will be on my lower back, btw.)

Kevin, stop shaking your head at me!



Pasenah, That would be exactly what i'm looking for, except i'd like it head-on, and preferrably in color. Nice pic, tho!

I like the idea of the lion fish allot more than the standard- butterfly or squiggly line design that seem so popular for ladies lower backs these days.

Well, this forum is probably the only place that will appreciate it. . .

So, help me find a picture. I'll post pix when it is done.

Here's one I found through google, I'm sure the artist can modify it any way he or she would see fit to make it look nice: http://www.bootkeyharbor.com/images/LionFish.jpg

This one is cool too but its more of a top down: http://img2.travelblog.org/Photos/1/...ion-Fish-0.jpg
And wow I just realized this is probably the first post I've made since 2004ish lol.

Angela,

You might also post in the photography forum and in the fish only & aggressive tank forums. Around here, you're likely to get good pictures of horses and cats, and sometimes dogs, but fish are a little scarce.
