Dante's Inferno Tattoo

I want to get a tattoo on the inside of my left upper arm of either Dante and Virgil in a scene from Dante's Inferno, or something that symbolizes Dante's Inferno. Im having alot of trouble coming up with ideas for this peice. If anyone can throw some ideas my way or send me in a certain direction it would be greatly greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

read the poem enough, and you'll figure out something on your own. it's very discriptive.

Thanks for the informative post devoid of rough sarcasm bob! Yeah, and if you dont see visions of the inferno after reading the book, take it to an amazing artist int he area. check out our Georgia tattoo gallery. We just were at a booth next to Dave Antonioaioaio(sorry for the spelling) and he would rock it out, as the other artists.

Awesome I appreciate the reply Gabe. Yeah I just got done reading the poem again for the 2nd time and had to write a term paper on it for my world literature class. Im kinda still haveing a brain blockage of what I want, I do know I want it done in black and gray on my upper inside arm. so yeah im thinking im just gonna take some designs i have drawn out and some illustrations of dante and virgil to an artist and see what they think.

No problem, make sure you go to a competent artist, nay, save and go to the best. Also, here is a link to a google image search with tons of reference.

Check out Gustave Dore' ,he made an illustrated version of the poem.Pretty cool stuff

I don't know how long ago it was that you posted this message, but I've recently decided that I want the entire inferno tattooed on my body. I've got some ideas that I'd like to talk about with someone that's got some ideas of their own...
