Tower of Power

Summary:

I am looking for a tattoo that can show strength. Emphasize power.

Description:

I have wanted to get a totem tattoo for a little while now but could never get the full picture in my head onto paper.  I am looking for a haida style totem.  I am looking to have a four tear totem that from the top starts the an eagle, then bear, then beaver, and at the bottom I need a custom haida of drama masks that are looking away from each other.  Back to back.  I am wanting it to go on the back of my leg and be around 8 - 10 inches tall and about 2 -3 inches wide.  I have some pictues of the bear and beaver but haven't found a good eagle. They are attached. I would like to keep it with the black and red color, but would like to see some highlight to give it a little more depth.

Additional Details:

• Gender: Male
• Size: 3 x 8 inches
• Detail: Medium
• Winning artist must provide stencil / line work at completion of contest

I am wanting a tattoo that is as unigue as I am.  Preferably one that works well as a whole and not four tattoos just stacked on top of each other.

I really like the design look of haida for totem animals.  However, I don't know enough of the style to be able to understand in my head how they work together and not just as a single individual animal.  If it is a confusion of the drama masks at all, in my head they are in profile looking away from each other. I, unfortunately, can not verbalize how to connect them into one single totem pole tattoo. I am kind of going into this a little ignorant.  This is the first tattoo that I actually thought of for a decent amount of time.  Unfortunately, I can only picture the individual animals and not the whole piece total.  If you have any confusion please don't hesitate to ask and I will do what I can to explain.

So I have a little bit more information on a possible eagle and also a little further into an idea of added color.

Now if someone has any better idea of a way to pull these four pieces together that is not in a totem pole style please feel free to offer it up.  I wouldn't want to go wider than around 5 inches.  So if someone has like a starry night with clouds or something along those lines would be intersting to see.
