I want to get a skull tattoo, but I don't want just any skull tattoo. I want something that will reflect my personality: girly goth, fun, creative, crafty (in a good way), kind, family-oriented, silly...blah blah blah. Thinking maybe a filigree skull? Day of the Dead-esque but not so cartoony? I have no idea!
I plan on having the tat done on my right shoulder/upper arm, think the "ball" of my shoulder with chin on my uppermost arm, if that makes sense. So maybe 3"x3" or 4"x4" in size.
So here's the deal...
[UPDATE 12/20/08] The contest is closed and the winners will be announced soon! Thanks to everyone who participated.
I'll post the submissions periodically and at the end of the submission period Katrina will choose her favorites. There's no guarantee that she'll get the winning design (hey, it's gonna be permanent), but if she does, she'll share some photos of the results.
So aside from the potential honor of seeing your art permanently adorned on skin, why enter? PRIZES!!! Katrina is offering several fantastic prizes (see below) to the winner and a few select runners ups. She'll determine who gets what, but the big winner will get first dibs...

Plus the grand prize winner will also get a T-skull of their choosing as well!
[UPDATE] A late prize addition...

Great idea! It'll be interesting to see what any real tattoo artists out there submit. Oh hell, all of the submissions will probably be killer.
When I google images for "girly goth day of the dead skull tattoo" this image came up: http://z.hubpages.com/u/152060_f260.jpg
Maybe it will help you with some ideas for your ink. What ever you get we'll have to see the final results.
Whoops - the card was just an image I used. Sadly, I don't have it to give away. But the necklace is awesome. It's Sterling Silver and the skull mouth opens and closes.
Noted Lotta, I've corrected the entry.

There is one more prize! I found a great set of 2 vintage inspired blank note cards with anatomical skeleton drawings on them! They are quite lovely.
