russian nesting doll design

Hi there, I'm trying to design a tattoo of a russian nesting doll, or matroyshka doll...Does anyone have any pictures of tattoos or ideas regarding nesting dolls? Thanks, Maeg

You should bring an actual doll to your custom tattoo artist. That can be a fantastic tattoo if you find the right artist! Where abouts do you live?

I live in Seattle, Washington...lots of innovative and talented tattoo artists out here. I'd like to encorporate a tree or vine and some symbols that mean a lot to me in the design of the tattoo...I'm still trying to figure it out in my head.

Check out http://www.goldencockerel.com for nesting doll designs. What about using a Classic Semenov style? http://www.goldencockerel.com/shoprussian.asp?object=store&id=102061

I am also looking for a nice design, of the same. My problem is that I was intitally thinking of putting it inside an outline of the country, but Russian is too irregularly shaped. I think that I have just narrowed it down to one large doll, instead of a line of 4 or 5. Do you want one or an entire set?

I am getting a nesting doll included in a half sleeve I am getting. I will send a picture tomorrow when its done.
