Tattoos

Also, here are some pictures of my finished half sleeve. Last year I posted some pictures of it in various states of completion, but here is the finished work. Once again, it is a design of Jason Vaughn's creation - he based it on an entry of my Grandfather's wartime diary (He is the co-pilot of the B-24 Liberator in the tattoo). He works at Deluxe Tattoo.

My first tattoo... just got home.... ouch... excuse the blood

[dino might]

Here is a tattoo I got last fall to show my love of Indigo. It's the indigo molecule along with a sprig of the True Indigo plant growing out of it. Designed by my tattoo artist, Jason Vaughn at Deluxe Tattoo in Chicago.

this makes me think of joe rogans tattoo of an lsd molecule

i think im going to get a light switch on my torso, right under my armpit maybe, in the very near future, just how much pain can i expect? my lip tattoo didnt hurt at all and i dont have any others to compare it to

though without the border im pretty sure, may keep the screws..

also, quick mockup of another silly idea i think id like to see through, thigh maybe, somewhere only people i really care about seeing it will see..

^plus rep for whoever gets it

and finally a more serious one instead of fun and silly, i thought a sprocket somewhere would be a neat little design and nice way of throwin' down for dad whos had me riding/loving motorcycles since five

^^ If it touches the ribs it will not feel too sweet. however it is mostly a line drawing (the light switch) so it will be over quickly and will not involve any shading.

edit: is it meant to mean stink thumb for life?

[dino might]

youll have to explain stink thumb

[ms. sally]

sticking your thumb in a girls ass while fucking. Also can be done to a guy should that be preference.

[dino might]

oh fuck. maybe ill have to rework this then.. no, thats not what its supposed to be lolz

[ms. sally]

nah. No need to rework. My mind is fairly juvenile.

My left sleeve, a Dragon and a lotus flower.

[Knugget]

art isn't that bad. is artist in sd?

[evisu 2000]

curious to know also... the lotus is kinda sloppy, but the waves are really well done.

[murdered out]

does anyone have any geometric patterns?

thinking a modrian pattern would be kinda sick

[Knugget]

it depends how/where you put it. otherwise it'd look like a block on your forearm or whatever. if i did geometric patterns i'd go to triangles. dunno why, they just appeal to me more.

[mflo]

Yes, Bill Canales at Full Circle Tattoo in OB.

[Knugget]

holy crap. some of his shadings are amazing. looks like he does a lot of oriental based tattoos. with a quick glance this looks like one of his better pieces:

girl, interrupted?

i like the lightswitch idea, ribs are gonna get

worked for sure, lip didn't phase me at all..

it sucks i got about 3 half-cocked concepts, but no moneys

i haven't gotten new ink in like 7 months and i'm starting

to get itchy

[missblossom]

woah it's so bizarre ! i got a jellyfish tattoo because they remind me of my grandpa. and I just saw somebody post one on their leg, and I met somebody who has one on the same spot on the forearm as me, but intense tentacles! it's pretty neat!

[julzkind]

i found my tat, i think.

i dont know where ill put it either, has to be hidden tho...

without the fish on the bottom and eye more in the middle and maybe less squiggle, quite possibly could put arabic in there, "khamsa (means 5) in the eye of who saw me and didnt praise the prophet of god"

i was thinking all black and then thought maybe ill do the inside of the eye a very intense blue, as that completes the meaning of the evil eye/hand of fatima/khamsa tradition.

[seenmy]

had this done yesterday

[panicnation]

no offense that just looks a little effete for my liking.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

I saw this the other day on facebook and had a good laugh. Should cross-post in Corny-Ass White Guys thread. Nice fucking tattoo white Nelson Mandela, you fucking pigment lacking, horse-fellating, jizz bin.

[NatseOklim]

Amazing

...ly gay

seenmy i dig your joint.

this is a pic from a couple days after i got this done last year

[back211]

dude might be from south africa, that place is full of white people,

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Quite a few countries in Africa have the remnants of colonial subjugators or ex-pats still living there. Does that make it right fora white man to get a tattoo of the whole continent? No.

Yeah I wanted to get that after I saw darkanimal's tattoo, too.

[tekkneakz]

This is my sleeve in progress. It's been a little over a year & I moved. Any idea in SF, CA where I could find an artist who can finish this without totally making it look like their work doesn't blend?

i could be an idiot and reply with the fact that i dont know what youre talking about (i guess i just did) but i got this in memory of one of my best friends, an artist, who passed away 2 years ago this month. so, go fuck yourself.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

tension on the internets... oh my! now i've seen everything!

[sean_]

shut the fuck up
