<p>[QUOTE="coppermania, post: 854632, member: 18304"]A Great Idea! I do tattoos for a living and have gotten to do numismatic art several times on people. Sometimes a collector specifically wants a coin design but mostly I use older coinage art for reference. There are tons of people with swirls and eagles taken from older notes that would never guess it came from a note listed in a Bowers auction catalog. Or an angel with a Merc dime wing. The artist of earlier notes and coins were fantastic and will never exist again as all modern coins have a computer generated look to them. I could go on and on about how the craftsmen of earlier days greated their wares with limited resources but I guess that goes for most antiques. A tattoo is a great way to commemorate your love for your son and cross them with other important things in your life. As with coins you get what you pay for so go all out on this one.
