anyone willing to help with a tattoo idea?

I've attempted to ask this on other forums only to receive answers along the lines of "think of something yourself."  I'm not expecting much more, but figured someone may be willing to help out.

I'm looking to get a tattoo with a concept of being a protector or guardian.  In other words, I'm looking to get a picture of a mythological guardian or protector of some sort.  I don't want a guardian angel or saint -- does anyone know of a guardian/protector type of figure from mythology?  Norse, Greek, or otherwise?  Remember, I want something that would make a good tattoo. 

Anyhoo, if you're looking for a protector, look no further than:

Get the Gamespot Gthriteenthmonke

Any tattoo that you didn't come up with yourself is something I can't really get behind :( It's your skin, after all...xaos

The actual image would be something that I would come up with on my own.  It's the actual figure which I would be basing the image off of that's tough to find.
