What are some background Ideas for this tattoo my father just got?

My father just got this tattoo and he thinks it needs a little something in the background. It’s based on a Grateful Dead design of Robert Johnson (20’s-30’s blues guitarist) in skeletal form playing the guitar. In the version my father has, he’s in a pin striped suit. He was thinking of an angel and devil on either side and flames for the background. Any ideas would be much appreciated! THANKS!

Answer #1

Sounds pretty awesome. Can you upload a pic of it? That would make it easier to come up with ideas. I like the devil/angel idea. Maybe make them small and have one on each shoulder, looking like they’re arguing or telling the skeleton guy what to do.

Answer #2

Wow! That’s a pretty sweet tattoo. Now that I’ve seen it, I don’t know if I like the angel/devil idea. I think it may make it look a little cluttered. I do like the idea of flames behind it but I like it just the way it is too.

Answer #3

I’ve tried putting the picture up, but it wont work. Here’s the photobucket link: http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr340/6metal6freak6/WhooHoo/RobertJohnson-1.jpg

Answer #4
