I need help with a tattoo concept.?

So I'm looking to get my next tattoo and I really want to paint a scene from one of my 2 favorite books. First, Anthem by Ayn Rand, I love the scene where he's in the basement in the dark and he invents electricity. I also love The Great Gatsby and was thinking about doing the car crash scene. My problem is that I don't want a huge back piece or sleeve, I already have a sleeve. If you want to draw something and send a link that would be grand. But descriptions would work just as well.
