TATTOOs... Lets see what ya got!!..

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

That is pretty sweet man.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

Pretty sure I'll win the dork award for my latest, but I like it. I figure, all tattoos change over time, so let's see how much. The two lines are exactly 12 inches apart. I'll slap a ruler on it every decade to note the changes.

I was reading this thread and ill admit, I don't have any tattoos but my wife has a few. Last one she got was on the top of her foot. While sitting in the chair, she noticed the artist had tattoos all over EXCEPT for his feet. She mentioned it real casually and he said "Yeah, I'll never get my feet done, hurts like hell for a week or two afterwards"

She told me he was right!

Meh, pain and discomfort are subjective.



Bump for more ink.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..




I'm working on my next one. Just gotta get the design outta my head and down on paper.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

2 of my newest...the Board Tracker tat now has "Old School meets New School" underneath it.
Going back in a few weeks for moar!

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

Catbird has a catbird on him.



Tribal gryphon, up between my shoulderblades. It's a little smaller than a typical dinner plate, took about 3 hours.
Looking to get some more ink, I like to keep it in places where it's really only visible if I'm wearing an A-shirt or going shirtless. YOu know what they say, "Put it where the judge can't see".

Haven't got a photo of it on me. Hard to take a picture of my back.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

I'll post a pic of my Homer tattoo tomorrow. Going to Vegas in May, thinking about being this, which I had design a while back.

Family Bonds, then lists my family's names

That is very nice Opticz. Looks like a mei (artist signature) on an antique katana blade. The meaning is priceless too.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

Thanks. Designed by Eri Takase.

Here's my Homer.

Representing the dark side. My friend was apprenticing at a shop and called me up asking if I wanted a tattoo. I was all ok, she said, "you have to be here in 20 mins". SO print that out, get it done, the boss asks why she didnt color in the mole, "you can do that?" christ....

I have these rings around my forearm. People are all "hey what the meaning behind that" there is no meaning, its fucking lines.

Fist tattoo ever. A stick and poke done in a kitchen in halifax when my band was touring back in the day. Fuck the police.

Homebrew DIY, I like brewing beer. Also another ring around my calf. Meaning? none, its a ring.

MOTOPONX my international motorcycle club of 2 and counting. Rules are you have to be an established member of your local punk scene with a motorcycle no newer then 1980. Tattoo must only be applied by a member who is horrifically intoxicated, as you can well see.

Had this one done in Bandung Indonesia by someone who is actually quite the artist. I just wanted a lame motorhead tattoo at the time. I still like it, although it does need filling in.

The only color tattoo I have, took four hours, done by a very talented and beautifull woman whom I had the privelege of having an affair with (I was single, she was not). Good times

So there are my tats, more to come hopefully. I have some basic rules about tattoos 1. they should be free (or at cost) 2. They should be decorative and essentially meaningless (motoponx notwithstanding) cus what is meaningfull today, is cheesy tomorrow. 3. Brilliant colors and fancy shading just turns to shit eventually so keep em simple. Some of you might think thats just my excuse for shitty tats, but I dont regret a single one of em.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

Here's my tat - a classic Honda wing.. A few days after the inking.



On the right, I plan to do something for my Duc. It will have the classic dual line logo and maybe some Desmo valves. Still planning it.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

i get mine from woody

http://www.cultclassictattoo.co.uk/


fuckin' brilliant tattooist.

I always come in with an idea and a few sketches and woody is great at making those ideas work, i feel you have to have a great relationship and understanding with your tattooist and woody never forces his ideas on to my ink.

if youre in the uk give woody a bell .. tell him i sent you!

as far as meaning gopes.. well kinda obvious, no?

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

I'm thinking about getting something based on this:



I've been wanting to get a Moby Dick piece for a long time, though I'm unsure that I want to be the artist.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

I've drawn/ re drawn from a photograph or photographed all of my tattoos myself. I'm too much of a do it your self-er to have someone do it for me. I would even ask to use the tattoo machine if I knew what I could do a good job.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

I have a few that I've drawn as well, and I'll probably just collaborate with a friend of mine on this one because I'm going to be going for a nautically themed full sleeve on my right arm, without the overly typical imagery seen in most nautical tattoos (aside from the compass start I've had for 11 years now.) I still have to finish my left arm sleeve as well, but that's down the road since the artist working on that moved back to Connecticut.

Ditto.

Re: TATTOO's... Lets see what ya got!!..

This is how it started. Collaboration between the artist and myself. I've since added quite a bit to it.
