Quoth the Ravens: Nevermore!
 
Well “Big” Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers put the squeeze on the Ravens, and there they’ll meet another bird, the Cardinals.  What is it with all the bird teams going so deep in the playoffs?  Anyway, I knew I wanted to play off Roethlisberger’s “Big” moniker, and tried to think of a appropriate thing for the raven to say when I remembered Poe’s poem.
 
I originally had Roethlisberger’s name and the “Nevermore!” in my handwriting, but wanted the latter to be a bit more epic, so I went with the font and the shadow.  I found a font similar to the Steeler’s, if not dead on, and decided that would be perfect for the name “tattoo.”
