Looking for a tattoo design

So this is an opportunity for the artists out there. I've known what I wanted for a while, but I don't quite have the best artist ability to pull it off.

I'm looking for an ouroboros symbol (snake in a circle eating it's own tail), using a ball python.

I'm planning on putting this on the back of my left shoulder, around the shoulder blade.

I'd really prefer to use a normal ball, but I'm also interested in seeing what you guys come up with :)

I'm looking forward to your submissions and/or comments. Btw, the design should be fairly large, The inside of the snake circle may be filled with something else in the future.

Oooo sounds cool. I'll take a look at this, maybe I'll have a design up in a bit. :)

Btw, i didn't mean for the tattoo was to go around my shoulder blade, I mean it would be in that area.

This is an outline just on humble MS paint(not exactly circular either)... is this somewhat like what you have in mind?

What's the prize for the winner? ;)

I'm actually getting an Oroboros tattoo myself, using a blue beauty as the snake. Link to pic It's a wrist design, I can't wait! Nothing quite like a custom tat! This'll be my second one.

I do those kinds of designs as commissions, check out the link in my sig for pricing and my gallery if you're interested. :D

MedusaOwl I will definitely take you up on that in the future.

Sausage: That's roughly what I was looking for outline wise, except I think I'd like the body to be a bit thicker.


I'd love to offer a prize, but I don't have anything for a good one right now.

I am going to start doing some simple ink drawings of BP's... I'll try to play with this idea some while I'm at it.
