Tattoos

[luthor]

Just curious if Josh and I are the only ones with comic related tattoos. Any body else got one?

Here's mine:

[paper]

Nice. The design definitely works as a tattoo.

I have a tattoo on my hand, but it's not comic related.

[kwok_talk]

Every year I keep saying to myself that I’m going to get a tattoo. I’m just afraid that my tastes change so much that I’ll wake up one morning and just think to myself, “Crap. Why did I get that done?”

And I don’t like pain (ie. wuss).

OMG I almost clicked that link. Then I thought whats the upside and whats the downside. The downside was just too horrific.

[fred]

I have a tattoo on my leg. It is not comic related

[jgg0610]

Nope, I'm tattoo less. I think at this point the wife would divorce me if i got a tattoo.

What cracks me up about Josh's tattoo is that its a Green Lantern symbol and more than half the time when this title comes up in the show, he isn't reading the title. Am I the only one who finds this strange?

No. No, you're not.

[fred]

I'd actually like to get more, but I'm somebody's dad and it already feels weird enough to have one. Is that a sensible, rational argument? Probably not.

[horatio616]

I have 3 tattoos but none related to comics. At one time I considered getting the Flash wraparound tattoo on my waist, but I knew I'd regret it. I also wanted to get the original Stormwatch insignia (eyeball inside a lightning bolt), but never went through with it. I have a lighting bolt on my right lower abdomen, but it doesn't look like anything comic related.

I like lightning bolts.

The thing you find strange about his Green lantern tattoo is that he does not read Green Lantern?

[darron]

The thing you find strange about his Green lantern tattoo is that he does not read Green Lantern?

Well, Josh says he doesn't read bad books, so.....

Correct me if I'm wrong Josh, but didn't you say you were gonna go back and get the last ish? If you did, waddid you think? it's gotten better since OYL....promise.


ALSO, one last thing. Having a GL tattoo and not reading GL doesn't seem odd to me. Doesn't symbol stand for 'peace, honor, respect, nobility' and all that good stuff across the (dc) universe? There ya go.

[paper]

I've always wanted to get elephant ears on my thighs.

[paper]

Or Snoopy. I've wanted to get one of Snoopy on his typewriter for a while.

DUDE! I want a 'Red Baron' Snoopy one day. Yours is a good one, too.

[paper]

DUDE! I want a 'Red Baron' Snoopy one day. Yours is a good one, too.

I picked up this book (http://www.amazon.com/Was-Dark-Stormy-Night-Snoopy/dp/0345442725/sr=1-3/qid=1172542798/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/105-9664821-9125247?ie=UTF8&s=books) specifically to find just the right image for the tattoo.

My uncle owns a garage, and one of his tow trucks is a Red Barron design. All three of them are Peanuts related.

[JAFlanagan]

I did read the last GL issue, and it was pretty good. I'll try the next one. I refuse to believe that because of my tattoo, I have to buy that book for the rest of my days. I mean, if anything, I should have higher standards right? I should expect the best.

Unfortunately, I think Darwyn Cooke ruined me for all other Hal Jordan.

And, really the tattoo is really a reminder of a certain time and era in my life. It's from when I really go back into comics, and started realizing the kinds of people I wanted to be around (it's when I really got to know both Conor and Ron, among other people), and stuff like that. Sure I liked the character and all that stuff, but it's not as literal as being a Green Lantern fan. You could swing a stick at a given comic shop and find bigger GL fans than me. I'll probably never love a character all that much, but I'll never forget the time in my life when I got that tattoo, which is why I have it.

*end music*

[humphrey-lee]

I'm tattooless right now, but I've been looking at what I want when I get one finally. Settled on a Dringenberg Sandman image from The Doll's House on my upper arm, and I was thinking of getting "Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?" tattooed across my upper back.

[mikegraham6]

i have one that sometimes says swan and sometimes says saskatchewan...

[e-tagg]

I've got a phoenix which is partly inspired by those phoenix outlines they did for Jean in the mid-90s (when I really got into comics).

I've wanted to get another one ever since. I was thinking of a Green Lantern signia with "In brightest day, In blackest night" written in the border. If only to inspire me to be more like Josh ;)

[JAFlanagan]

I have three tats as of right now. A Celtic Murphy Knot cross on my back and a nautical star on each of my ankles.

Some more ink in the works. Once I move to the South Side I'm going to be temped every time I leave my house.

Jesus man. The South Side? I don't know how anyone can live there. I'd never make it to work. I'd try, but instead of walking to my car to go I'd just go down to the Moose for a pint... gah.

[k33k3r]

It's a good time.

Just think of it this way I get to stumble into cars instead of running into them after I leave the bars. Plus it's close to where my future wife and I work.

That and we love it down there. She use to live down there and I use to spend a lot of time down there as well.
Can't wait to go back to city living.

[humphrey-lee]

Gods. Well, don't ever let it happen to slip where you live, otherwise I might just randomly appear on your stoop one night after getting hammered at Casey's and making an idiot out of myself drunkenly hitting on that gorgeous bartender they usually have there. :)

Keep me up to date on your plans for PittCon my man, maybe I'll see you there. Looks like a good one this year.

[jurassicalien]

I'm all saving up for my tats.

I'm looking at 3:

The X-men symbol on my arm
Batman Symbol on my calf
and The Irish flag on my wrist. I'm a proud mick, what can I say.

Unfortunetly I planned my honeymoon for the same weekend. I will say this though, I scheduled it before they released the dates for the con. So Dammit they should change the dates to satisfy my needs...

.... and you're not having your honeymoon at the con because??


No, seriously, there's no reasoning for this. If she really loved you she'd understand. Otherwise, ditch her!!

[spiffy]

I have one on my wrist, but it's not comic related. Just the symbol for infinity.

But I hope to eventually get a superman tattoo on my arm. I was actually thinking the 'Kingdom Come' shield, like Luthor's.

*end music*
What made you choose GL over say Batman or Superman if you aren't such a big GL fan? What was it about that symbol that made you want to have it on your body permanently? If it's to symbolize when you got back into comics, wouldn't the DC logo have been just as valid a choice?

[k33k3r]

.... and you're not having your honeymoon at the con because??


No, seriously, there's no reasoning for this. If she really loved you she'd understand. Otherwise, ditch her!!


Right.....
She finally leaves me alone about reading comics.
I don't think I would have to ditch her if I even mentioned not going on our honeymoon to go to a con.

Plus I'd rather go to Secrets in Nigril.

[esophagus]

I'm looking to get a tattoo this summer. I'm trying to decide between one of the DC Endless (either just one, or the whole group. Not sure yet.) or of the Joker. If anyone could find any pictures that would make a good tattoo, could you please post them? It makes my search easier, and might make me help me make up my mind.

[piscespaul]

I have two tattoos, 1 comic related the other not so much
Comic related one- the starman design taken from the back of Jack Knight's leather jacket....

[humphrey-lee]

But I can't decide between these two images I've narrowed it down too...


Mike Dringenberg Sandman
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/HumphreyLee/sandman-dringenberg.jpg


P. Craig Russell Ramadan Sandman

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/HumphreyLee/sandman-ramadan.jpg


Hrms... well, I still have a couple days until I'll meet up with this dude to talk it over. Maybe I'll just flip a coin.

[paper]

I like the first one.

[horatio616]

If you do Ron will shun and ridicule you. I like the top one.

[humphrey-lee]

If you do Ron will shun and ridicule you. I like the top one.

Eh, Can't be any worse than when my parents do it.

All my friends seem to be fifty/fifty on these as well, and each day even I can't make up my mind. I think I'm just going to sit both these in front of the artist and find out what he thinks he can do with them and pick whichever pitch I like better. Right now I'm leaning more towards the P. Craig one, because I ****ing love that cloak swirl at the end...

[paper]

I'm only concerned about the detail on the Craig one. You'd have to get it pretty big for it not to go blurry real quick.

[mikegraham6]

i like the 2nd one better but the colours kind of throw me off, so just because it's black and white, i'd go with the first

[senoj1]

Ya the second one is a bit to detailed. The first one is awesome though.

[paper]

What you could do is ask the artist to base an original design on that second one, with emphasis on the aspects you dig, like the swirl at the bottom.

[humphrey-lee]

I'm only concerned about the detail on the Craig one. You'd have to get it pretty big for it not to go blurry real quick.

Yeah, that's why I need to talk to the guy, see if it's even viable. I've looked over his online portfolio though, and he's got some skills. End of the day I think I'm going to probably have to take the first one simply for maintenance and probably even cost effectiveness (all that detail will take forever).

[idave]

DON'T DO IT!!!! IF GOD WANTED YOU TO HAVE MORPHEUS ON YOU HE WOULD HAVE PUT HIM THERE!!! Plus, if you get it on it might be cool for a year but then your stuck with it for the rest of your life.

You mean god didn't put a Morpheus on you??? Am i the only one.....

Is that why I have a birthmark shaped like Lawrence Fishburne on my ass?

But eh, the Sandman has been the most important work of literature in my life for getting close to a decade now. I don't think in ten years I'm going to look back and regret it. Hell, I assume I'll still be rereading the series yearly, this time in Absolute form.

Tattoos are cool. I have one and plan on getting many, many more.

Plus, we always want to encourage it when Humphrey likes something. He's a very angry man.

[ronxo]

If you do Ron will shun and ridicule you. I like the top one.

Not at all, people in glass houses and all that - I say go for it! I vote for the first one too

My daddy used to beat me with a bar of soap in a sock!!


I've actually got ideas for a second tattoo, but that one's going to take a bit of designing, and probably cost a little more. Have to talk to him about that too...

[kwok_talk]

I like the first one better, but am not sure how the very solid white/black contrast would look on skin. (Not saying it’ll look good/bad, I just don’t know your skin tone and such)

[humphrey-lee]

I like the first one better, but am not sure how the very solid white/black contrast would look on skin. (Not saying it’ll look good/bad, I just don’t know your skin tone and such)

It's getting pretty tan actually. I was more thinking I would see if we could translate his pale skin into greyscale. Could/should work.

[k33k3r]

depends on whether you want color or not and where on your body you are having it done.

[paper]

The top one would look good on an upper arm. The contrast would work.

[kwok_talk]

The top one would look good on an upper arm. The contrast would work.

Agreed. The other one I envision as more of a leg tattoo.

[humphrey-lee]

Agreed. The other one I envision as more of a leg tattoo.

That's pretty much what I was thinking on both accounts. The top one is def going on my upper left arm, high enough so that later on if I find some cool sort of background or pattern I like, I can put it behind him and turn the overall into little more than a quarter sleeve (sadly, nothing can go below the elbows. Job and all).

More I look at it, the more I think that P. Craig on is meant to be a leg tat, and I'm not looking for that right now. I think I'll file that for later after I get the first one, and after I look into the one I want to get on my back.

[fred]

I like the first one better, but am not sure how the very solid white/black contrast would look on skin. (Not saying it’ll look good/bad, I just don’t know your skin tone and such)

ah, the factor that has always kept me from the punisher skull. It's an awesome icon, but alas .....

[JAFlanagan]

I know you just said you can't do it, but I think the latter one would make a cool tattoo on your forearm. That's where I want to get another one.

[kahunablair]

I've designed my fair share of tattoos, and if you were to take that second picture to a GOOD tattoo artist s/he should be able to tweak that design.
Just ask your friends about where they got their ink, then take a ride one afternoon to check the places out. Bring the pictures with you and talk to the artists at the parlors. If they're any good, you'll be able to tell first hand from there. Then just pick the best place that will be able to do the design the way you want it.
Both of those pictures are going to have to be messed around with a little bit to get them right, so don't hesitate to talk to the artists. It's there job.


Oh and for the guys that were curious about White ink. It can be done, it's just the color that is most likely to fade over time. There was a fad a few years back of getting just pure white tats. That way, they'd fade away over time.

[darron]

Can't you get 'glow-in-the-dark' tattoos as well?

[kahunablair]

Can't you get 'glow-in-the-dark' tattoos as well?

[darron]

Sweet. Now I can let everyone know how much I like black lights.

[darron]

Oh, and Humphrey, I personally dig the second image more, and think if you can figure out a way to tweak it up a bit, it'd be an amazing tattoo.



Now for my predicament....

Which DC logo does everyone prefer?

http://www.ds9r.com/dlog/wp-content/images/dclogo.jpghttp://www.thedopefiend.com/uploaded_images/dc_logo-768861.png

'Cause I really can't decide which one I wanna get inked (my initials are DC, it helps to know). I'm leaning towards either old school DC (which I read constantly), or the shoe company (which I sport constantly).

[kwok_talk]

The one on the left as more "old school" appeal. The shoe logo, however, could just pass for being a cool symbol if you got tired of sporting the shoes.

[acomicbookgirl]

Decisions.. Decisions.. Hmmm.. I always associated you with the shoe company one but I do have a soft for the old school DC logo..

[humphrey-lee]

I know you just said you can't do it, but I think the latter one would make a cool tattoo on your forearm. That's where I want to get another one.

OH yeah, that'd be the other option. Maybe if I get a suits job soon, so I'm always in a dress shirt, but right now I'm in a job that I basically wear a polo shirt 90% of the time.

It's going in a "down the road" file. I'm taking that Dringenberg Sandman image to the artist on Thurs, and I'm going to talk to him about a design for my back. I wanna get "Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes?" done in between my shoulder blades in some sort of pseudo-Latin font. It's such a long phrase though, that I don't think I want to have two lines directly beneath each other, so I'm thinking I might see if he can have the first two words arch up, and the second two go in a straight line so it looks like a half circle. And then I might see about filling the center with something like maybe a Rorschach blotch.

That'll come after WWChicago though. First thing is that Sandman.

[JAFlanagan]

DarrOn,

A company logo is a tricky thing...if you were going to do any of those, I'd say the old DC logo, cuz it has some history, and was around for a while.

Really, in your case, if I were you, which I'm obviously not, I'd find someone to design a logo for you specifically with your initials.

But if I had to pick, old school DC by a long long shot.

[esophagus]

Oh, and Humphrey, I personally dig the second image more, and think if you can figure out a way to tweak it up a bit, it'd be an amazing tattoo.

'Cause I really can't decide which one I wanna get inked (my initials are DC, it helps to know). I'm leaning towards either old school DC (which I read constantly), or the shoe company (which I sport constantly).Old school DC is my favorite of the three. I see DC shoe ones everywhere, which makes it seem kind of bland. Not to mention I hate the idea of a product placement tattoo, unless the logo has some sort of meaning to you. As you said, your initals are DC, and you like comics, so thats one thing, but the shoe one, just seems Blech.

[thwackum]

Humphrey, if you get a good tattoo artist the second one wont be a problem and it would make for an awesome back of the calf or a sleeve. It WILL however be super expensive cuz of the detail, but so worth it.

I wanted the green lantern symbol on my forearm for about two years and then I opted to get something with more meaning. I'm getting something I drew for role playing. Im a scribe mag (I cast symbols through the use of symbols), and I decided I would draw all the symbols for my spells. I'm going to get my fireball symbol tattooed or my firestorm.

**** that was a nerdy confession....anyways my appointments oct 11th

[thwackum]

oh and as for black light tattoos, you can usually see the scaring in regular light, kinda like when you get a tattoo removed. However, if you get a tat removed you can get another one over it to cover up the scar

[fred]

I know you just said you can't do it, but I think the latter one would make a cool tattoo on your forearm. That's where I want to get another one.

It would be sweet but I'm not rocking the white on white

Classic bullet logo, easily.

[grendel-]

Classic bullet logo, easily.i concur. but i may be biased.

[kahunablair]

Darr0n - Classic DC is probably the best choice. That way when the newest DC logo gets revamped you won't feel like you missed something.

Grendel - I really like that design. I'm not a Grendel fan but is that from the comics or is it an original design?

[grendel-]

[fred]

welcome to the forums

[darron]

Thanks for all the imput, folks. To be perfectly honest, I was leaning towards the DC Shows logo, if but for only two reasons....it's already plastered all around me (a lot of my friends associate that logo with me now), and Rob Dyrdek is nothing short of my idol. The man is a genius. He's built DC up from scratch, and that's damned impressive. Plus he's one helluva funny mofo.

I haven't made my decision as of yet, but you guys have definately helped. Thanks!

No kidding on my part. These huge ass beasts live in jungles, rain forests and the like. It was crazy. Like, straight-up Crayola orange. Another was purple and blue spots. And they eat clay they find buried under silt underwater.

Planet Earth obviously fascinates me.

[humphrey-lee]

Four weeks from now and I get my Sandman. Yay, I guess. Now I have to figure out if I want some sort of background to it. I think I'm going to just get the Morpheus for now and get an added effect behind it later and try and turn it into a quarter sleeve or something. We'll see. Oh well, at least I'll finally be getting it done. Hopefully I can book a 2nd appointment for Sept or so.

I'm thinking of getting a Wolverine related tattoo, anyone have any ideas?

Or, if I feel daring, I may get the tattoo design that his son has. Though I don't know if it will work without a blue mohawk.

[esophagus]

http://www.comicartfans.com/Images/Category_1645/subcat_18924/ESSWLV004_col.jpg
I always liked the more natural looking wolverine, without the spandex and whatnot. A costume is fine, I just hated the mask. So yeah, something like this Kubert drawing, maybe with the costume on, that's probably the way I'd go.

[y-zaman]

I like it, and I also prefer him without the spandex mask.

Thanks.

I was reading the first JSA trade recently and he showed up wearing that jacket and I just cracked up. There was also a comment about him being a legacy character. What did the predecessor look like?

Uncanny #94-142 is one of my favorite comic runs of all time. I'm a bit of a geek about it. I was really upset when they got an issue # wrong in the show Heroes. Hiro was referencing #142 but called it #143. 143 is the dumbest issue ever. Kitty fights a ****ing dinosaur on christmas or something. ick.

I'm not really interested in getting a comic related tattoo, but if I had to get one I'd probably go for some kind of pin-up style Zatanna tattoo. I'd use pictures of Jennifer Connelly for reference.

Now that I think of it in addition to my Snoopy on a typewriter tattoo, I'd also consider a tattoo of Captain Haddock from Tintin.

No offense dude, I've got an ongoing joke that tatoos of hot women are for the lonely time in jail (or Gaol, as Shakespeare calls it).

How could you know that? Use your powers paper.

That is amazing!!!

I have two tattoos, but not comic related. Nothing's popped out at me as a possibility. Maybe someday, but it wouldn't be anything icon related I don't think. I'd prefer to have straight up art, it's just my personality.

[esophagus]

I'm currently saving up for two tattoos. One tattoo on my left forearm of Sandman (Morpheus) and one on the right of Sandman (Wesley Dodds). I'm really stoked. I'm sure I can afford it already, I just don't want to look like a douche going in and leaving because of money. At the moment I'm just going to bring in a punch of pictures and get the artist to do his own rendition, but if any of you have ideas, much appreciated.

[crunch]

I have 3 tats so far. I am saving up to get a half sleeve. it is going to be Irish themed. As soon as I get it stuck I post what it looks like. There might be some comic logos and punk logos, i'll see what the man can do about it.

Out of curiosity, where is this tattoo? It's not clear from the picture.

I was wondering too

[conorkilpatrick]

Look's like it's on the Dude's back.

[fred]

oh yeah, spine.

duh. Em reel smirt

[the-dude-abides]

conor is the big winner!

[esophagus]

Wow. It's not what I was thinking, but once I looked you can really tell. That must be a fair size then.

[itsbecca]

I can't imagine that being anywhere else... that would be one oddly shaped (and large) leg.

Is it going to be colored?

[the-dude-abides]

nope. just shaded. It should be done by next tuesday night.

[jgg0610]

I was wondering if it might have been top of the thigh, but now that you point out the spine, it is pretty obvious. :o

[darron]

nope. just shaded. It should be done by next tuesday night.

Dude, that really is an awesome tatt. I have shitting vision, though....what's the girl kissing him saying?

[fred]

"Very Well, There's Your Reward"

[darron]

Ha! Nice. Good work, my friend.

Damn Dude, that's awesome.

That's cool. You should take another picture in a few weeks once the swelling and redness go away.

[paper]

Very cool.

My internal editor is screaming over the punctuation though. Not a big deal. Not a big deal....

What did the tattoo artist think about doing the panel? Did you talk about the character?

[the-dude-abides]

uh, what's wrong with the punctuation?

the artist was really damn excited. he took a lot of photos of it.

We talked comics the whole time I was there, but not too much spirit. though he spent a lot of time going through the spirit hardcover I brought in.

[paper]

The comma should be a period. But that's totally nitpicking. It's a great, great tattoo.

Sounds like a good time. I bet tattoo artists hear the best stories.

[the-dude-abides]

Very well is a sentence? I should start a POLL.
IS "VERY WELL" A SENTENCE IN AND OF ITSELF?

I was thinking that it could be a semi colon instead of a comma.

[paper]

Well, it could be a fragment. A semi-colon would work, yeah. And you could just use a sharpy for that. ;)

[fred]

I was thinking that it should say "Here's your reward." rather than "There's your reward". Maybe you could cross the 'T' out?

I'm just ****ing around. That's awesome dude.

[cam-]

Or you could change it to "Beer's your reward" and then, you know, stop listening to me.

[paper]

My buddy Mike the Marine Biologist just got his new shark tattoo. It was his first, so we did a lot of talking about the feeling you get when you're getting inked. That feeling that you'll need to come back to this and do it all over again, and soon. It's addictive.

So, I've been thinking about my next tattoo. I've had this idea for a half sleeve for a while now. I want each of my arms to tell a story. The first is going to be a shipwreck. This morning I've been looking at the art blog of Carson Ellis (http://littlelittlegreenhouse.blogspot.com/), the artist who does the graphic designs for The Decemberists (she's also Colin's girlfriend).

And I found this:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/polcapn/underwater.jpg

I'm gonna see if there are any tattoo artists willing to play around with this style or even start from scratch with this same idea.

[JAFlanagan]

I like the concept, but I think there's something about a "squid" I wouldn't want on me. Unless you're really down with squid.

But more power to you. Half sleeves are badass. I'd love one, but damn that shit would hurt.

[fred]

This is the design for my next tattoo

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u116/fredhosley/newtattoo.jpg

I'm getting it on my neck.

[k33k3r]

not to mention how long they usually take to complete.

[k33k3r]

HAHAHA! Fred that just made me think of the last episode of Entourage and Drama as a giant pink bunny.

I'm a nut for nautical stuff. I also like those classic "Golden Age of Illustration" images from the early 20th century. High adventure at sea or the like.

My biggest fear about the pain of a half sleeve is the underside of my arm. You know how sensitive the skin is around your armpit? Yeah...not gonna be fun.

Just to make sure you know, that was done for Weezer's Make Believe artwork. I have a poster of that on my wall.

[paper]

So it was. Hmm.....interesting.

Thanks.

I'm not sure that I would get that specific design, but I want to use it as a reference. I kind of want a guy tumbling through the water. Maybe a couple, guy and girl.

[paper]

Maybe I'll put the mermaid on my other arm. I found this image of Monica Bellucci while back. Sans the artsy, disembodied hands (maybe bubbles instead?) I'd use this as a reference.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y192/polcapn/975705708_bb4156b246_o.png

[k33k3r]

that could be pretty cool as long as the tat artist is good at making bubbles look like bubbles not just circles.

[paper]

Seaweed or swirls of water too possibly. Just not, ya know, tentacles.

[k33k3r]

haha, do you mean you don't want it to look like a anime on your arm....?

[paper]

I don't want it to look like hentai on my arm. Or a Heroes for Hire cover.

[k33k3r]

yeah that's what I was getting as as well.

[kahunablair]

Paper- I don't want to promis anything, especially seeing as how I have to still post those character designs, but maybe I might mess around and see what is possible with the mermaid idea.

I've personally have designed a crap load of tattoos, which is really funny seeing as how I'm extremely scared of any type of needle.

[esophagus]

I've decided to scrap my tattoo in favor of, well, money. There's only one place in town that does QUALITY tattoos, and they know it, so they overprice like mad. It's sad, I had good ideas. I like the weezer idea paper. If you threw an old fashioned diver in their somewhere.

Ah, I didn't see this until now. Thanks, man. Whatever designs you come up with would be dope. If I don't use them as a tattoo, I'd definitely use them in the promotion of fuzzy typewriter. It's about to get a whole lot more theatrical, so I could use that kind of thing in the future.

That's totally the kind of imagery I like. I've wanted to purchase either a complete antique dive suit or even just a helmet for years now. I'd keep it on a mannequin in my study. If I ever had a study. With one of those bookcase ladders with the wheels on it.

As for immediate tattoo ideas...

"Oooh, what does your tattoo mean?"
"Create."
"Crate?"
"Create."
"The island of Crete?"
"Create. Create."
"Creatine?"
"Create!"
"...Obdurate?"

I do actually. I moonlight as an orangutan.

I've always wanted a Superheroine pinup tattoo. But I'm not a huge fan of Wonder Woman, Supergirl or any female superheros.

I'm very happy with how it turned out, though it's only about halfway done. I'm going back to the guy sometime in about six weeks or so to get some sort of bluish swirl pattern surrounding him as sort of a frame and as emphasis, and turning it into a quarter sleeve. I'm just going to let him whip something up, he obviously knows what he's doing.

[conorkilpatrick]

Whoa !

[esophagus]

I love all of the noir-like shadowing to him, captures his sheer essence perfectly. Looks straight out of the book. Thanks, you've rejuvenated my neeed for Sandman tattoos. This would have been a better desire before spending so much on holidays.

[humphrey-lee]

So three months after getting my first tattoo, I finally got a background piece for it, and now that it's healed, here you guys go:

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/HumphreyLee/1108071438a-751566.jpg


I love it to death so far, but now I'm trying to figure out what I get next. I could keep adding to this one, making it more "sleevelike" but I'm also thinking I could get a completely new one on the other side of my body. There's a band symbol I really really like that would be awesome as a tat, but I kinda want to just let my artist go creative as well. I feel bad having him more "Copy and Paste" things onto me.

Oh well. Lemme know what you think, y'know, if anyone cares... Bueller?

[six-gun]

is that the sandman?

[mikegraham6]

badass humphrey, pure badass-ness

[six-gun]

healed? how does that work?

[humphrey-lee]

healed? how does that work?

The top layers of skin need to molt off without being picked to get to the fresh skin underneath with the ink intact. You gotta keep it medicated and lubed for about two weeks before everything is a-okay. Hell, it's been three weeks now and it still gets dry from time to time.

[luthor]

That's some really nice work, Humphrey. How long(hours wise) did it take?

[paper]

Very nice. You made the right choice.

[humphrey-lee]

That's some really nice work, Humphrey. How long(hours wise) did it take?

When I got the Sandman part done back in July it took about 4 hours. The background I got done last month and took about 2 and a 1/2. Not bad all said. I'm still figuring out what I'm getting next.

[esophagus]

I want to get Morpheus on one arm and Wesley Dodds on the other, but I think I mentioned that somewhere in this thread. In another effort of mine to steal other's ideas, I also want to get 'Partum Vel Intereo' written on my back. Just like that sticker someone (I think Kwok) posted a long time ago.

I don't know what I'm getting next, but I really want to do something I can let my artist mostly improvise. The problem is, when I think of what I like and what I want it's usually stuff that I've seen before and think is very symbolic. Like, I really want to get the new Rise Against symbol put on my forearm next (sans the band name of course, that's kinda pushing it):

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y246/HumphreyLee/RiseAgainstlogo.jpg

I might get something comic themed that he can have a bit of creative input on. Like, I might get "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes" put on me somewhere (probably a forearm) and let him come up with the font and the design. I don't know yet.

How would you do it? The white him be skin?

That's the part that I'm struggling with. You can get white ink, but I dunno. I thought about getting some kind of background and then getting white ink over that. But maybe I should just get the black outline.

Thoughts?

[kahunablair]

Well white ink will fade over time, it won't last much over a year or two.

See, you wish you were blessed like me. I'm so pale, my skin is naturally white.

[paper]

I'm white as a ghost too.

Here's a page of Peanuts inspired tattoos (http://www.peanutscollectorclub.com/tattoo.html).

Almost halfway down the page there's a really cool one with an angry Charlie Brown head and happy Charlie Brown head interwoven. And it's the original Chuck design from the early 50s. Very cool.

[kahunablair]

http://www.peanutscollectorclub.com/brenttat.jpg

That is brilliant! Truth be told, I really prefer the original designs to the more recent versions.

[paper]

You really can't go wrong with those original designs. For the kids at least. Still love the quintessential versions though.

I wouldn't mind getting a 50s era Charlie Brown as a separate tattoo.

I also want a classic Kermit the frog on my upper arm.

Seriously. I need eight more arms. I want all of these designs, my shipwreck sleeve, a vintage magician poster sleeve....

I'd really like to get a Ramona Flowers tattoo but can't find the perfect image for it. Any suggestions?

Seriously, though. How about this one?

Or maybe the one he uses at the top of his site?

It looks like that smaller image is shopped, so here's a link to a bigger one:

Um, why is the backdrop all bloody? It is kinda creepy.

I actually think this Cliff Chiang Supergirl might make a good tattoo seeing as its done in a very pin up style

Well done. Looks good.

@JimmyP

That does look really well done

I have a tattoo of Captain America's shield, on my back, right next to my right shoulder blade. It's tilted up, so it's not all flat and boring.

im gonna get Ted Kord's mask tatooed on my face

I want a tattoo so bad but I really don't know what I'd get and be happy with for the rest of my life.

One thing I've been thinking of is a pair of rorschach blots but I can't see how that wouldn't end up just looking like weird birth marks after a few years

How about "Fear of Commitment" on your bicep?

Hey would you marry a girl without thinking it over for a while first? It's not like there's relationship therapist for tattoos!
