Angelic Devil Tattoo design

[Ian Mack]

Alright, this is a tattoo design for a friend.

She wants an angel and Devil combined. I went the traditional Cherubic angel route because she also wanted it to be 'cute'.

I'm looking for crits on this pic and suggestions on how to show both qualities of an angel and devil.

feels like a halo should be in there somewhere...
maybe like one thats black and crumbling away or something
or not.

I think a halo would help because it is important to have all of the aspects of the angel and the devil. A halo would be good, either black and crumbling, or maybe slanted one way to imply imperfection. I also want to commend you on the small things about this image, I thought the foot and the hoof were very nice touches and the band-aid as well. nice work!

Yeah, a halo hanging from its horn.

or a pentagram halo :D

What if you made the strings on the harp into barbed wire? or put talons on each end or something? something to spice up that element of the piece.

a burning halo!

I am really wanting a tattoo of an angel and devil fighting in a cloud of dust. I see the devil with a pitchfork holding the angel by his halo and the angel with a his harp drawn back, I guess. Anyone seen any art like this?
