Well, I wouldn't get your tat cause it'S too big in my opinion but it's for sure a great piece of work, someone did a great job!

@ Pittsey: Well, don't like that one too much, I like tats with a msg....and those back tatoos like you got one, just don't have a msg in my view.

pz

Thanks for the compliment.....the tat kinda had to be big though, because most portraits involve alot of detail and if they are done too small, it can kinda look like a jumbled mess.

Here is my forearm tattoo...

To each his own. I happen to disagree.

There are many people out there who have their fav musician tattooed on them. I met a guy yestarday who had Muddy Waters (an old blues artist) tatted on him, and ive seen various people with Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, and Tupac tattoos.

I try to never judge anyone elses tats (unless its something absolutly ridiculous, like a Nazi sign) because tattoos are very personal and often of great meaning to the individual who carries them.

I bet there are. And i'll say the same to them.

And oh, even a Nazi sign or symbol can be very personal and meaningful to the Nazi that wears them. There's no exclusion there just because the ideology is "wrong".

Ok. Really bad photo. Phone again. And really bad light.


Here's my back, although I cut off the tattoo on the lower part. (Intentionally)


As taken on location in my en-suite. Boooooooooo.





I like that but to me it has a message. Seems like Angel wings that got tattered and "hard" along the way somewhere. We all start innocent and get fucked up by life, and thats what that design sort of reminds me of. Still an Angel, but with thorns.

I'd get it extended over my back if I was you.

I want tattered and wounded Angel wings down my whole back.

I like Angel wings. It's hard to find anyone that has decent drawings of them.
I was gonna get an angel on my shoulders. But Beckham beat me to it. So basically I just picked it on a whim. At the time it appeared huge. Now it looks tiny. And yeah it does need extending.

Beckham has an angel on his shoulders? Fuck there goes my idea :@

I did a dope drawing of an Angel when I was like, 15 or 16 and always wanted it done somewhere. An angel on its knees looking at its bloody hands with tattered wings.

Then I was thinking maybe an Angel on one shoulder and a Devil on the other, as in, you're consiounce.

Now I want wings.

I dono.

But yeah man, I think if you extend it it will look dope. Why do you hate it and think its too thuggish?

Nah I have another 1 lower on my back that I hate and is thuggish. It's right at the bottom and I cut it out the picture. It's wrong. Basically it says ENGLAND in Olde English. Like I'm some football thug. But I was a lot younger and the World Cup was on. lol


I like the Angel wings idea, or the drawing you done sounds cool. Yeah Becks had a pic of a man on a cross, then he added wings. Nice Tattoo, but you can't get something he's done. It's even worse if you get a tattoo done then he gets something similar.

But if you get wings or the Angel with bloody hands they'd be cool.

Damn, that IS thuggish.

And angels & crosses are played out. So many people got that shit without any reason that it means anyone who gets them are tarred with the same brush, unless you do something extreme with it.

Now you know why I'm looking for a design to cover it.


I think he was being sarcastic.

But yeah, cant get Beck's tat, I cant get anything like it, I get told I look like him as it is.

Now my girl wants me to grow my hair again. :eek:

But damn this thread makes me want to get tatted.

I actually really like the Arabic one that you have.

I want my arm sleeved with all different fonts and langauges, one word or phrase in a bunch of different styles, languages and fonts but all black and white (hate colored tats).

I used to want a bar code on the back of my neck, seriously, and then Dark Angel came out and they stole my idea!

Nah I wasn't. There's this whole thug culture over here & a tattoo like that is one of those identifiers.

Thank God they stole that idea for your sake. Although there can obviously be deep symbolism behind such a tattoo, it would be just too freaky for most. I know you might not particularly care what strangers & shit think but I think you'd need explain that tattoo time & time again.

Yeah. I only like Black tats. I want to get my arm sleeved. With different black shades. But I'm not sure what pic or writing I want. Maybe a girl going up the back of it. I want some extreme detaili.

Well I wanted it on the upper most part of my back where my neck starts, so most shirts (work shirts) cover it. Right on "that" bone you know. When you tilt your head down and your spine sticks out a little. Where your shoulders would meet if your neck wasnt there.

And it was to represent being a product of society.

Yeah I get you.

Yeah that is the symbolism that would be most apparent.
 
Pittsey said:
Yeah. I was thinking maybe of trying to go see him when I vist the US in October.


Good luck.

You have to book in advance, and you have to pay just to be seen. I think its a grand.

Then he meets with you, you tell him what you want, and he has the right to say no, and take your money. If he says yes, HE decides what to give you. Like, he talks with you, you say what you want, and he gives you his interpretation of what you said you liked. Its a long process.

At least that is what I have been told by a friend of mine who's an artist signed to Sony here (www.figgkidd.com) and a tattoo FREAK and wanted to get inked by him.

Check your PM.
 
I might add that I don't like Pittsey's bac ktat too much cause a couple of people I know around here have similar tats (angle wing idea) ..... so that's why I would nnever get it, played out.

I got some nice ideas for tats. I'm thinkin a lot about gettin one, for years now, but it's just a hard decision or something I would never rush you know, that's why I still have no tat, but hell yeah, think about it like everyday. ;)

Yeah I guessed he'd be hard to see. A grand for nothing is cheeky as fuck though. I'd kick off, and no doubt be beat down by a load of chicanos.

Maybe I won't see him. lol
