Tattoos

[Ed x TWWK]

I emailed him with an outer-space concept. More along the lines of colors and light play rather than planets and aliens and all that corny shit.

the typical alien riding a flying saucer off-the-wall flash would have been a way better idea.

I was thinking more along the lines of an alien holding up the peace sign with a banner saying, " Take me to your dealer "

[Ed x TWWK]

throw in an alien smoking weed and some peace signs, and you got yourself a solid idea...

i really like this. thoughts?

may be kind of tough to translate into a tattoo, being that its all shiny and metallic. Depending on placement, could still look good black/white/grey.

I like it, where/what is it from?

[bouwnt]

....gay as heck!!

that's what i think too. was thinking chest area?

[AstroWolf]

it will never look like you want it to, tats dont sparkle like that dude.

yes, obviously.. the photo is an idea/something to 'draw' inspiration from

[AstroWolf]

if you added some good white highlights it could be done to a fraction of the intent and idea... but i still think it would never do it for you in the way your looking for. its just a hard image to translate and keep similar enough to stay smilin.

my 2 cents... it could be cool though... not being negative.

[NatseOklim]

I could see it working if it was done in a high contrast, b/w chiaroscuro style.

liking stained glass

Gloucester Cathedral. depicts christ and mary. i want one related to the genesis story rebecca at the well, might be too much to ask.

[back211]

omfg!

i agree wit you man that is hella dope

i was thinking somehting like this or like abstractish art, like art within geometric patterns with a slight set off

[Junglejuice]

ben_253 no offense but I can't see that translating into a tattoo without it looking corny.

[evisu 2000]

this is in my top 10

[2000dB]

mass knows whats up!

the real shit, now tattoos that look airbrushed on.

[nf one]

evan that shit is hot, im always looking at old manuscript and cathedral art in my art history books and writing down potential tattoos

right now im looking at getting one of aubrey beardsley's simpler works, not sure what though

[eean]

ben, im pretty sure that could work if youre ok without it being all shiny/shaded like that. i suggest you goto a tattoo artist and get him/her to sketch something up. if youre serious about getting it done, theyll usually do this for free.

This is a grab bag tattoo where you pay $50 then get what you draw out of a cigar box. Master Jeff Zuck was nice enough to find time to give me this one.

That is the best idea ever.

I may be in chicago at the end of the month, and might just have to do this.

[stayhandsome]

I got it in Ann Arbor so you might not have much luck. If you are thinking of getting tattooed Mario Desa at Chicago tattoo company does fine work and only accepts walk ins.

[Yardbird]

Thank you. You are the best.

I wanted something to do with chicago/illinois since that's where Ill be getting tattooed, And need to start on my other leg.

Yeah I've posted the two tattoos I got from Mario and they turned out real nice after healing. My buddy just got an entire sleeve by the guy which is the first full sleeve I've known him to do. Know I'm confident in saying he's the best in Chicago.

Another shot.

Something similar (at least the skull & crown part), or maybe this isn't even close to what you were thinking of. I dig it

Thats quite the line you just wrote. While I agree he has some nice stuff, I wouldnt consider him the best in Chicago. I scrolled through alot of his work online and its all small pieces. Id like to see a sleeve or something of more work... and even then, theres so many amazing artists in Chicago.

I'm going to save our arguements for hockey season vanfragmeter. But I will say his myspace is the best place to check his current work his website is outdated.

I'm looking for to be a suit wearin-mofo one day, can I still rock a tattoo? Or are tattoos limited to artists/musicians/people who do something that dont require a suit? I've seen some dope ass tattoos on here and it just makes me wanna get one moreeee.

[shark jacobs]

just get shit that is covered by a suit

that's pretty easy, all you really have to avoid are face neck and hands
