Any Artists? gettin a new tattoo...
hey whats up, lookin at getting a second tattoo, mythical style dragon. mean looking with wingspan etc...basically ive been lookin around a lot and tryin to see whats available, if someone has a spare peice around that they think might be optimal for a tattoo, or at least the basis of then please feel free to share.
dont really expect anyone to go out of the way and draw me up one that i may not even use, but if you still want to im not going to hold it against you
will be leg tattoo, bout 5-6 inches tall and anywhere from 4-7 inches wide with wingspan etc. open to colour or black and grey. chance to get your art put somewhere permanent
these are the ones that closest resemble something i am looking for, tho the black one has a rather feminine chest...would prefer more muscular features, some of those are just pics so obviously the detail wont need to be anything that drastic unless you believe its something adjustable for tattoo =)

Re: Any Artists? gettin a new tattoo...
Wow, omg I never realised that Chika, you have really opened my eyes.
In response to the original post, if your tattoo artist is anywhere near decent, take those pictures in to them and see if they would be willing to sketch out a couple of designs for you. At the worst they can refuse, or ask for a deposit, at the best they will be more than willing to help you out. If they do anything you like, you can get that done, alternatively you can sit and discuss with them in a bit more detail what you want, maybe suggesting changes to their designs for you, blending a couple of different ideas into one piece, etc etc.

Re: Any Artists? gettin a new tattoo...
Just don't do it when you are either skinny or fat. Tatoos never look good except sometimes on muscular bodies, even then it's rare.

Re: Any Artists? gettin a new tattoo...
Why are you getting one?
Im not 'bashing', I just dont understand the whole 'I want to "artifiy" my body with ink that cant be washed off' thing.

Re: Any Artists? gettin a new tattoo...
In addition to JJ's question, and again I'm not 'bashing', why do you want one of a dragon? And why on your leg?

Re: Any Artists? gettin a new tattoo...
In addition to Stew's question, and once again I'm not bashing, but why are you so insecure as to resort to tattooing yourself to make yourself interesting?

Eventhough I don't understand much of the fun/beauty of tatooing I think you are stupid for concluding he would only do that for the reasons you've brought in. Being interesting and insecure aren't the only auras people's minds are in when considering such things.

Where did he say he was doing that? If I said I wanted to buy a new key ring would you assume that I was doing it to make myself interesting? Or are you just being retarded?
I don't think anyone suggested getting a tattoo makes you cool by itself, but then I can't think of many individual acts which would.

Re: Any Artists? gettin a new tattoo...
I got it KaneED! I was going to post something similar but you beat me to it (and got told off for it haha gutted).
On topic, as I was walking home today this short tubby girl was walking in the opposite direction past me. She had a lowish cut top on and on the left side of her chest there was a tattoo. I couldn't help but look at her chest (which wasn't particularly attractive) to see what it said.
I think it might possibly have been the tackiest tattoo I've EVER seen. It was some entangled roses tattooed on diagonally, with "MUM" written in the top right corner above them, and "DAD" written in the bottom left corner below them.
I just had to rush to get on the internet and tell you about it before I erased it from my mind!

Re: Any Artists? gettin a new tattoo...
well i just turned 25 yesterday and im moving out on the 29th, had been pondering my 2nd tattoo for awhile now.
i know dragons is the way i want to go but im not gonna just settle on one thats available because this is something thats going to stay on forever. ive already spoken to a few places about what they can do with the existing pic and price quotes etc, but im all for giving someone a chance to get their work put on someone forever

thats the one that i have now on my arm

Re: Any Artists? gettin a new tattoo...
I suppose you should try browsing/searching on deviantart in tattoo design or fantasy. I did a quick search and find several dragons that looked far better than those in your first post, though they might not look very good on a tattoo.
This one might though.

Most of it is indeed pretty shit. But there are a lot of rather good artists there as well, and if you're looking for something as simple as a tattoo that might be the right place to look for it. I wouldn't ask any of them to paint my walls though.

Thats why its an honed art and not simply a tragic mistake
I work at it and succeed, anyone else would have sparks of brilliance in their posts. I, however, strive to near perfection in posting crap.
Someone should get a tattoo of a woman with her legs open with their belly button as a vagina. I know its a picture on the internet but its a classic that can never be dismissed when choosing a tatoo

Cost lots to get rid of*. Be warned.
