Go to your tattooist!
explain the situation and he / she should be able to point you in the right direction or design one for you. custom tattoos are designed for the person as a "one off"" so you know that your tattoo will just be in honour of your uncle!

The best thing is to go to a well known tattoo shop that does freehand work. Tell them what you want and usually they can draw up an original design. You don't want some generic tattoo in memory of your uncle, you want something just for him.

You should contact somebody in graphic design. they usually have a large stock of images that are very good, or they will give you some picture library contacts. Or if you call into a design shop there may be books of images available. Finally it is often a good idea to get an artist to design one for you, I have done that myself and it worked out very well.

The best personal tattoo you can have is to design your own, or go to a decent tattoist like mine, she did a brilliant bear tattoo based on my ideas.

Most tattoo shops have loads of books full of pictures of tattoos. If you can;t find one you like speak to one of the tattooist and see if they will design one for you and then it will be truly personal.

Try www.tattooflash.info or look through torrents.Its a good idea to find something you like then either add to it of cut it or do whatever you like using an art package such as windows paint ud be surprized at what a basic tool like that can do.I use corel paint for 90% of my work but to make your design unique try messing with diffrent peices until you make something you like your own.Iv got my artist this thursday on my chest/half sleeve i gave him a japanese deamons head that id messed with & he drew the body it looks fantastic.I'll have them on my 360 soon.Good Luck.

I would go to the tattoo artist and give them an idea of what you like and have him/her custom draw you an image. You'll get exactly what you want and you won't have to steal the tattoo from someone else.

best thing you could do would be draw roughly what you want (does not matter if you are not great at art)
and take it down to the place you want to get your tattoo.. any tattoo artist worth their salt should be able to take your idea and with your guidance draw up something you will both be happy with!

The Drama masks sounds like a wonderful idea, perhaps with his name in it. When you speak to the tattoo artist, tell him or her what you want.
