Gettin' ink done...

[cornfed]

Will do... if i'm not excommunicated from the church and burned at the stake LOL

I was at my home church 2 weeks ago and there was a guest speaker there goin' off about the kids bein' possessed with their tatoos and piercings ... Me and a couple inked up friends just burst into laughter and just said, "we're all goin' to hell now" (good thing we were in the forure )

I like #2, I just think it needs a little something to fill it out a bit. I agree about putting it on your delt though.


Here are some popular prison tattoo's I see at work;

FTW
Naked woman
Spider web on elbow
tear drop at corner of eyes
White Power
Indian Posse
(Some woman's name, usually an ex)
Tribal arm band
barbed wire
Skulls
grim reaper

You can sometimes tell just by the tattoo's on a guy if he's ever done time.

translations on those tats:
FTW- F#*k the world
Spider web on elbow- killed someone (although its in vogue now)
Tear drop in corner of eyes- Fellow gang member got killed, lately
its been just a buddy
White Power- Self explanitory, redneck mentality bs
Indian Posse- new to me, but the word posse gives off some
gang vibe to me
Womans name- see above
Tribal arm band- Usually means I want to be cool just like all of my cool friends that have tribal armbands
Barbed Wire- Same thing
Skulls- variety of meanings per person, some cool, some stupid
Grim Reaper- same as skulls.

(one of the)stupidest tattoo request: a lady called my shop and wanted to know how much it would be for me to tattoo a pot leaf on her son when he turns 18 next week so she could get him a gift certificate.

 

[cornfed]

I have an acquaintance that has a huge leaf on his forearm and an alien standing beside a bush on his pec. That's not asking for sh!t, is it?

 

[PulsatingArt]

tat number 1 looks like it would be a great middle of the back piece between the shoulder blades, but the decision is ultimately up to you. What do you do for work? as far as tat #2 goes, just keep in mind that especially on the forearm, that could drastically reduce your job possibilities in the future because whether you like it or not, society in general still frowns upon tattoos (although not as bad as it used to be), and it could mean the difference in a promotion, or a job itself, not to mention local law enforcement sometimes can be judgemental on appearances, in addition to border guards, customs officials, and anyone in life that you may want to present an outstanding overall image to.

 

[naturaltan]

... you're probably right. If I ever lose this job, then I'll do the same thing I did the last time. Wear a long sleeve dress shirt to the interview. Once they say "You're hired" I then switch the long sleeve for a short sleeve - and low and behold, tattoos! he he

I thought the web just meant you'd spent time in prison and the number of spiders on the web was the number of people you've killed. Don't know for sure since I'm not speaking from experience.

 

[cornfed]

Ahhh... it feels good ... but I did cry as he removed the stencil



I'll try to get a pic up when I can.

and maybe I'll attatch the next 1 or @ least the concept

 

[Rusty]

So does that mean you got it?

 

[cornfed]

yeah

 

[cornfed]

have to go back and get it retouched a 'lil as a tiny healing cut from work was in the way... so 1 outside piece is narrower.

 

[naturaltan]

Welcome to the world of the tattooed!

Well congrats...............your hooked now. This one will only lead to the next one and so on.........

 

[naturaltan]

isn't that the truth. I started one on the back and I've already got a few pieces I want added to it. Also looking at making a complete sleeve on my left arm ...

 

[cornfed]

thanx guys

here's what I've been workin w/ for numero dos... alot of negative space yet to be darkened, but you get the idea... and there'll be something on the middle ring... I love celtic shit ...

 

[ALBOB]

Wow, that looks like a sign for a Celtic bomb shelter.

 

[naturaltan]

is that one going on the same arm?

 

[cornfed]

LOL @ Albob

side of upper calf or top of back of calf or b/w and a 'lil above sh blades

 

[cornfed]

undecided

 

[cornfed]

I'm either gonna go w/ all blacked background, or layer a celtic swirl behind it.

 

[Rusty]

Hey NT...........The ink's not even dry yet and he's already starting on the next one.................he he.

reminds me of myself.

Hmmm.....personally, I don't like "closed" tattoos. I don't know how to articulate my point, but when I see a circle or something similar, it looks like a stamp for a meat packer or mail package.

Maybe guys like Pulsating Art and NaturalTan can explain it. Maybe not. I think it should be more fluid and open at the edges.

It's a really cool design though. I really like the cross. I should get you to draw up some art for my club t-shirts!

 

[mmafiter]

Actually, I just looked at it again. I'd just take the circle right out of it. Maybe add some points in between the where the outline of the cross meets in the middle. Does that make sense?

 

[cornfed]

$$$ $$$

I agree for the most part, but I think that on the back of the calf in particular, a closed circle looks good. Plus, you can always add to integrate a radiating design to give a more open feeling later. I dunno, but I do see your viewpt.

I've been messing w/ the circle "wheel" cross/ celtic stuff even longer than the 1st tattoo... but yeah, the rush is there

 

[naturaltan]

MMA ... I'm like you ... I prefer portraits or art that imitates life (now does that make sense? ) ... although the first piece CF had done was pretty cool. The second one is ok .. but I'm not the one who is having it done.

IP ... not sure what it is, but I was the exact same way. I had ideas going thru my head as this back piece was being done. I'm going in to have it coloured and shaded and if time permits, I will have the same piece my wife has put on my lower back. Then it's on to figuring out how to make the upper and lower piece into on big piece.

Oh....I see how it is! Can't even hook a honky up, eh?

I like the design, seriously. It's just a personal preference of mine to have a more open feel on my tattoos. You are the one who has to like it though, so as long as you like it, it's all good!

 

[cornfed]

I was just shittin' ya man... be glad to help if I can

For a second there I thought you said "I like you"! I was gonna say, "I like you to bud, but not in that way. I was worried I might have another Irontime on my hands here.

That sounds like it's gonna be painfull.
