obfuscator Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've merged the two topics - the bizarre tattoo thread was actually originally a spambot but it was taken over by everyone to basically be a thread for any tattoo discussion - so I don't think we need two threads!

Stev Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 TBH, I can't recall if I've posted my tattoos, but... I have: [spoiler=Designs] [spoiler=Tattoos]Only 2 pictures I have of the back design, sorry: I have no picture of the Sweet Prince, but it is here: And again, no pictures of my bicep design, but this was where I got it at least: Meh. :P. I find tattoos on women very sexy, as long as they're not cliche... Like a butterfly on the ankle or tribal tramp stamp on the lower back. Yuck. A beautiful woman with an equally beautiful design is just... Mmm mmm good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 So I've def' decided I want to get a sleeve design done. I wont bother asking what I should get as its a fair obvious I should design it myself or something of importance instead of following the trend. How long does it take on average to go from shoulder to wrist?how much management is it and the cost av'?...what else should I know? @Wicked, is that a sickle & hammer nipple piercing?

Azvareth Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 How long does it take on average to go from shoulder to wrist?Naturally it depends on a lot of different factors: how much detail there is in the piece, if it's colour or b&g, how big your arms are, which artist you go to etc. I sat 16 hours with my half-sleeve, but it's quite detailed and my tattooist wasn't perhaps the fastest. how much management is itYou mean the healing-phase? Short answer: a lot. That is, if you want your tattoo to look as good as it possibly can. Actually getting the tattoo done at the studio is only half the job; you can royally [bleep] up a great looking tattoo if you don't take care of it, since it is literally an open wound so you need to treat it accordingly. If anybody's interested, I can post a guide from Doug Hardy (second generation tattooist, son of Ed Hardy) on how to care for it. It is literally The Best Guide. But the healing phase only lasts 6 weeks. After that you can basically do what you want without it affecting the tattoo much, except perhaps subjecting it to a belt sander. and the cost av'? Full sleeve? Any reputable artist will charge between 100-150/hr and upwards, excluding tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my arm, yes, it's not 'finished' as it's just a practice Sharpee job, but I wanted to see if I could fit the design on my arm.

Tim Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I had (what I think) a brilliant idea for a sleeve design.EDIT: Did a quick one in Photoshop. [hide=Long Image] [/hide] My idea is to have a Cross design starting from the top of my shoulder with chains coming down over the years. along the way I want to get various memories or something important to me done along those chains. Think that's a good idea and not generic? Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furah Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Good idea, but I don't get the reason for the cross, since I didn't think they had any significant meaning to you.

I can make out the bird, but what's the plant-y looking thing at the bottom? I would suggest filling it in with something, because just leaving it with the contours like that... it'll be impossible for people to see what it's supposed to be (your tattooist will say the same thing). My idea is to have a Cross design starting from the top of my shoulder with chains coming down over the years. along the way I want to get various memories or something important to me done along those chains. Think that's a good idea and not generic? Cross, chain and dogtag tattoos are generic and I'm not a big fan of them. The concept is definitely cool though and it'd make a kickin' rad traditional/old school-type sleeve. Just an FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furah Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 What can people recommend to me for trying to design a sleeve tattoo? Computing is a really big thing for me and so I've decided I'd go with a circuitry sleeve, with it coming off onto my shoulder and chest, but I'm not sure how to go about with doing a sketch-up to show the tattoo artist so we can better work on it.

Azvareth Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 What can people recommend to me for trying to design a sleeve tattoo? Computing is a really big thing for me and so I've decided I'd go with a circuitry sleeve, with it coming off onto my shoulder and chest, but I'm not sure how to go about with doing a sketch-up to show the tattoo artist so we can better work on it. A general tip: if you can't draw yourself and don't know anyone who can, just bring your ideas to the tattooist; doing stuff like this is a big part of their job (plus they take into account the general anatomy of the body, things like how your muscles move, etc.). Just make sure have a good and clear idea of what you want beforehand, and bring as many reference images as you can: in your case pics of the type of circuits you'd like to have, etc. Also make sure you go to someone who's good at realistic motifs, biomech stuff in particular. But since it sounds like you can draw... I guess since it's a big tattoo, I'd do a sketch-up of how I'd like the tattoo to "flow" on my body since that'd be the hardest thing to explain in words. I'd use one of these for that: [hide][/hide] And draw it up in Photoshop or MS Paint or whatever. Doesn't have to look pretty or professional in any way, just enough to give him/her an idea. And once again, bring a bunch of reference pics of circuits you'd like in your tattoo. The "plant" is actually more of a flame, though I'm not sure a golden phoenix would look very good on my pale ass skin...perhaps changing it to a different color? Could look pretty sweet with a nice background! Honestly, there are millions of phoenix tattoos out there, so I'd just google image search for colour inspiration.

Hugger_88 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I've been thinking of getting a sleeve done that runs into my chest and back. On my back, I'm going to have my last name in Old English/Old-Age tribal, and have an accent coming off the last letter and flowing into my sleeve. But I'm not sure what I want done in my sleeve. I definitely want a bit of color and detail. Not absolutely specific details leading to a smude in a few years, but some detail. What are some basic things I could put into a sleeve design? I'm an avid trout/stream fisherman, I love chevrolet, trucks and mechanic-type things, I'm a gamer and I have a strange love for the word "Love" and things to do with it. Just some simple ideas would be cool, thanks :) - 60,023rd to 99 Firemaking on April 29th, 2012 -- 15,152nd to 99 agility on August 21st, 2011 -- 30,569th to 99 Prayer on June 26th, 2011 -- 22,646th to 99 Hunter on Jan 9th, 2011 -1993 Miata; sold - 2001 E46 330i; "totaled" - 2001 E46 325iT; Bags and wheels ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transcript80 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I have never ever seen any tatoo that I like. No offence, but for me, tattoos and piercings bring up strong association with "white trailer park trash". I fail to see the beauty of mutilating the skin and various "cartilage rich" areas of the body. Some of my friend have tattoos (and they are not trailer park trash, for the record) but I don't see the beauty of it. A female friend of mine has a tattoo all over her back, some parts are done with the ashes of her late mother... Though I see her point, it is just not for me. On the other side, respect to all of you sitting in a chair "under the needle" for 16 hours of pain. You MUST be dedicated to have that tattoo, else you wouldn't find the courage/guts to get it in the first place. Tattoos on women are an even more turn-off for me, especially sleeves, "arse antlers" (lower back tribal) or any other form of "tramp stamp". Other data was removed when acoount got hacked...

Star_Fox Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 ^ To each his own. Some people dig tattoos. Heck, I kind of like it as long as it's not anything frivolous. :rolleyes: I'd never get a tattoo since I think I'm somewhat scared of desecrating my body with that awful feeling getting ink stuck in there permanently. :ohnoes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
