Cherokee Tomahawk Custom Tattoo

Summary:

I would like this tattoo to convey strength, honor and dignity.

Description:

Hello. i am looking to get a tattoo of a tomahawk on the outside of my left leg. im looking for it to be no more then 12 inches long. The handle should be a darkish brown, seemingly worn from use. the width of the handle should be a little smaller then that of an average hammer. i would like the blade to have a more modern design, but by no means futuristic. one possibility for the blade is having it made out of black steel, with a silver lining around its edge. another idea is to have it made out of chiseled stone, but agian with a more modern look. the blade should obviously be in proportion with the handle, but it cant exceed a length of 5 inches because i dont want it wrapping all around my leg. It is very important to me that this tomahawk have a native american feel to it, specifically Cherokee. how that is acomplished - whether through use of feathers, animals, symbols or anything else- i leave to the arists' discretion. i would like it to look some what realistic, but that does not mean i am agianst the artist taking some artistic liberty. Thanks much
