    I want to get a day of the dead skull tattoo. It'll be my first. Probably not technically the most difficult tattoo in the world, but I really want sharp colour, and someone who can come up with something original from a few ideas I have. Anyone got any ideas of who might be the best person to do it?

    I want the day of the dead skull as a memorial tattoo.
    I have very specific ideas re colour/design etc, the pic I posted is just an example of the type of thing. Thanks for all the suggestions.

    Not many Will's know what I'm talking about either, but Fey does! \o/

    Grim Fandango was a Lucasarts computer game, set in the land of the dead, styled as a cross of the Mexican "Day of the dead" celebrations, Art Deco and Film Noir.

    The characters are based on "Calaveras", which are closely related to the sugar skulls, and are also used in Dia de los Muertos celebrations.

    Plus Manny Calavera is just a cool character :D
