Help Design My Tattoo (your art-my flesh)

Hey all.
I really want to finish my tattoo within the next two months, but i have had some problems with the final piece.
tattoo.jpg
This is the overall design im hoping for. the figure at the top is Stalin shooting buildings with his laser eyes, Lemmy (from motorhead), pacman, Godzilla, red robot, and LeChuck are running around the City, planes are shooting at Stalin, and beneath, The Kraken is fighting Moby Dick the albino whale.
I have finished designing the kraken/whale and Stalin parts allready.
so far I have the start of the city, godzilla,pacman, and red robot already tattooed. (http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n313/butchersblind/P4210003.jpg
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n313/butchersblind/P4210002.jpg
http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n313/butchersblind/P4210001.jpg)
I really just need help designing Lemmy and LeChuck.
So, if you would post drawings of either (or both) I would be very very grateful, and your drawing may just end up on my flesh!
They will need to be one and a half to two inches tall when tattooed so not insane detail please.
Thank you. :D

    Is that a Squid and the Whale reference in the middle?

    I don't know if I'd want a tattoo of a movie that was only nominated for things

    Its a tongue in cheek tattoo, its silly. Im not trying to be badass, its goofy.
    Yes i am serious, im just looking for help finishing my tattoo.
    If you think getting a goofy tattoo is stupid, thats cool. Their are allot of different opinions of tattooing oneself.
    I want something i can look at when im older and remember who i am now,
    and thats a goofy guy who loves all these things.
    Its a reference to Jules Vernes book 20,000 leagues under the sea, i love Jules Verne books, and Moby Dick is from, well iv forgotton the name of that book but its one of the best in the english language in my opinion.
    I love B-movies (so godzilla and a big robot), i love Monkeys Island (so lechuck) i love pacman, i love Motorhead, and i love zombie laser beam Stalin.

    I'd just go with what you have there, just clean up the two bits you're having trouble with. Perhaps take in some reference pictures of the subject matter to your tatooist and talk to them about it and see if you can work something out with them. If you already have some of it done then you need to keep the style consistant across the whole piece.

    I approve of any tattoo that features Lemmy.

    Especially this one.

    This is a tattoo made of awesome and regret.

    My prediction:

    You'll get this done, and as soon as it's finished you'll think "awesome".

    A month later you'll condition yourself to avoid looking at your reflection in mirrors.

    The first time a girl sees you naked with this tattoo (and her ensuing reaction) is when you will commit suicide.

    I seriously thought that was Hitler not Stalin.

    And... are you a female? 'Cause in that last pic you are wearing what appears to be a more feminine top/shirt/blouse/whatever.

    If so, then all I can say to
    The first time a girl sees you naked with this tattoo
    is :winky:

    I'm by no means a tatoo expert, but according to Miami Ink (which I totally don't watch), tatoos tend to expand, much like ink on a paper towel. This is especially noticable on small, line tatoos.

    LIES

    and besides, its not like it couldnt be covered up by a heart with mom in it or a snake, or skull or something manly.

    sweet idea for a tattoo mister.

    How about a space-snake crushing a flying saucer, which is being piloted by a unicorn, while holding a rose in its teeth? Or maybe that being threatened by a giant space-barbarian with a battle axe?

    It's about as manly as things come, right?

    What if the penis was gripping the knife in its teeth? I think I'll decline to sketch this idea. I'm sure you understand.

    exactly
    and of course the penis itself would have a tattoo of the aformentioned manly tattoos
