Help, Zombies fans

Not sure I should be asking for help in my first post but hey what's the worst that can happen?
I have been working on a zombie tattoo for about 2 years now and appear to be a bit stuck. Basically the tattoo is (slowly) covering the top of my leg but I have run out of cool zombies to have done. (I thought this would be easy when I started!).
To give you an idea of what I am after here is a brief run down on what I have already:
Maggot eye from Zombi 2/Zombie Flesheaters(whatever you want to call it).
Bub from Day of the Dead.
Dr Tongue from the original Dawn of the Dead.
Possesed Ash from Evil Dead 2. Yes he's a deadite, possesed what ever but he looks the part.
Stacy from the film of the same name.
One for the ladies, Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean. Funny thing girls seem quite interested in the Johnny Depp tattoo until they realise he is rotting???
Frank Zappa. Not a zombie but he is dead and my tattooist made a good job of zombifying him.
Jason from Friday 13th 6, without mask. Not wanting to start a debate but I reckon he has to be classed as a zombie by now.
I need about 6 or 7 more but I only want decent zombies that look good in black and white so, for example, the girl in ROTLD 3 won't work as she would just look bizarrly pierced. I quite like the blind dead but can not find a clear enough picture and there look like some good zombies in ROTLD 4 & 5, but when are they out?

Thanks in advance for any help and I can post pictures of the tattoo so far if anyone is interested. I would also like to see any one elses horror tats.

Ummmm...I'm assuming you meant Dr. Tongue from the original "DAY of the Dead."

Here's a suggestion...

How about the poster zombie from "Dawn of the Dead" ? That's a famous zombie and everyone loves it.

Or, how about the machete head guy?

Or how about that weird happy-looking skeleton sitting in the corner in the basement scene?

I like the maggot eye zombie from the Zombi 2 case... very cool. I also have a soft spot for Bub.

Ahh, I see someone noticed the deliberate mistake then:o

Thanks for the suggestions. keep them coming!

THe girl from the original NOTLD although cool would just look like a goth, machete head guy , yet again cool, would just look like a bloke with a machete in his head. I have contemplated these sort of zombie before but I really want more decayed nasty looking zombies.

Tar Man from ROTLD, and "I want my cake" guy from creepshow are certainly contenders, I shall have a serious look at both of them.
The Blind Dead are great but I can't find a decent, facing front picture of their heads anywhere, I have got the Boxset so I could probably find a shot from them, just a question of having the time.

Thanks again for all the suggestions so far everyone!!! I would offer some kind of prize for one's I get done, but I'm can't think of anything suitable, but you could just be happy in the knowledge that you have helped scar me for life.:)

No-one asked to see the tattoos I have so far but I'll put one up anyway, if anyone wants to see the other just ask. That's if I can sort out this "attach file" business. Nothing came up in the preview but fingers crossed!
