Default Need help with a tattoo design

I already know what I want, I just need someone to put it together with a computer program or hand draw it for me. It is going to be my family coat of arms and I want it to be tattooed between my shoulder blades, so it needs to be about 4" wide and about 5" tall.

I have taken my designs to 2 local shops, 1 didn't have time to draw it out for me and wanted me to bring it in already done and the other was terrible.

It does not have to have great detail, but I would like some.

The description: It is a shield lying across two swords. The shield will have three stars across the top, a solid banner across the middle, and a lion rampart at the bottom. On top of the shield will sit a helmet with the mane of the helmet flowing to both sides.

Here is the shield design I want to use(the 3 stars, divider, and lion):


Here is the type of shield I want the design put on:


Here is the type of sword I want the shield to lay on, so basically you only see the handle and pointed tip of the sword ( 2 swords crossing and the shield lying on top):


Here is the link for the helmet and mane I want on top of the shield:

Tattoos are what I do for a living. We charge a $20 deposit to draw something but that goes towards the price of the tattoo. I'd say the 1st 2 shops you took it to sucked and definatly don't go there again.

Whoever you take it to, take a good look at their portfolio and don't be afraid to ask plenty of questions. Any good shop won't have trouble answering them.
