This maybe slightly off-topic but I am interested in getting a tattoo that has my two sides of my family crest combined into one. I need the to know where i can get a hold pictures of the crest for my artist.

Thanks.

My family crest was 2 sided as well. It has 2 lions. My aunt gave it to me. We also have a banner of it. I did find it again online posted on the Hines website. You can also try Irelandcalls.com to ask around. I am an artist and wonder why the crests were two sided.

Ours has two lions, which I found out was used by Hines Irish Swedes. I thought the lion meant "lion hearted" but, it may also mean Swedes who came to the Bristish Isles during the Viking overpopulation in Sweden. I am wondering what the lion really means.
