Thanks again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pynch Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 Interesting.Thank you and I await your response. Cap'n Pike said, and I quote: "When you pay for art, better to have it facing you than turning it's ass your way." Hmmm.... I interpret that as: "It's polite to face someone, to pay attention to that person. Turning your back indicates disdain, my dear Pynch. We approach the art of the tattoo in the same fashion we approach our clientelle, with respect. Now would you like some tea?" Okay, I made up that last line.

Captain_MacNamara Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 speaking of tattoos... I am undecided on where would be a good place to put the one you designed for me... mayhaps a suggestion? :) Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.

Pynch Posted October 26, 2004 Share Posted October 26, 2004 speaking of tattoos... I am undecided on where would be a good place to put the one you designed for me... mayhaps a suggestion? :) Your tattoo will work almost anywhere, due to it's size and proportion. If you want to keep most of your ink hidden (which I heartily support, it's like finding a prize in the bottom of the cereal box!) then the back of the shoulder, hipbone, bum, calf or chest are all good spots. If you want to show it a bit more, the arms are a good spot. Having said that, I'd say it's too small for the upper arm (it'll just "float) and I'd be hesitant about placing it on the inner or outer forearm or wrist, unless you already have ink in those locations and said work doesn't hinder your job or social status. Common as they may be, tattoos in these locations are still considered undignified and 'trashy' by mainstream America. You neck, hands and feet are no-nos. Of all places suggested, your chest may be the most painful. I wouldn't even try to go on the stomach or ribcage....ouch!

Duchess Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hmm, I have to disagree about the upper arm location. I have a fairly small shoulder tattoo and it doesn't really look out of place. Though now that I think about it, this tat is about twice as long as it is wide, which sort of makes it "match" it's location. So that might have something to do with wether or not it "fits."

The Duchess It's all pretty general, Dutchess, and I'm going by the size of his design (approx 2") in proportion to the arm of a full grown man. A 2" tat on your l'il shoulder is going to look much more appropriate than on his big 'ol burly arm. ::takes a moment to fan herself at the thought:: But then again, we can only tell if Duncan does as Bess suggests, so...

Captian Wolfy Wench Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 What I want to know, and perhaps Cap'n Enigma n' Pynch c'n tell me, is why fully grown adults get cartoons tattooed on their arms. Don' mistake me, I'm an adult (legally, anyway!), and I'm an animator, so I've nothin' against 't! I jus' wan' t' know why. When I get my tattoo, it will be a realistic-looking wolf, and for good reason; wolves mean a LOT to me. Aww, Cap'n MacNamara, 's a fyne pi'ture of ye and yer son! 'S lovely. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn_Enigma Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 What I want to know, and perhaps Cap'n Enigma n' Pynch c'n tell me, is why fully grown adults get cartoons tattooed on their arms. Ahoy, Wolfy! Actually, there's a story behind this tattoo (I believe that a good deal of inks have a more or less "secret" story): The bird that you see on my right forearm is a plush vulture that a former girlfriend gave me: After we separated (No, it's not one of those tattoos that lasted longer than the love ), I decided to make him a tattoo. I converted him into a toon in the same pose like the sparrow on Captain Jack Sparrow's arm. He looks so damn confident in spite of his small wings, that he is my symbol for endurance and fortitude against all odds. BTW Wolfy: It's a strange conicidence that you should have a predilection for wolves, for I do too, because of my first name, Wolfgang. That resulted in another tattoo, a wolf's paw on my right upper arm (own design as well): "The floggings will continue until morale improves!"

When I get my tattoo, it will be a realistic-looking wolf, and for good reason; wolves mean a LOT to me. Hey there Wolfy, Well...my only explaination is that a body's tast in art is a verrrry personal thing. What may seem a frivilous waste of dermagraphic acreage to one may be the skin-equivalent of the Sistine Chapel to another. what I mean is, Taz seems a wee bit, well...stupid to me, but may hold a deep meaning for the person getting it. Not all tats are done in good taste using good sense. Some folks just want ink, and could care less what it may be. Some have to have something right at that moment. Others find that a "cute" tattoo is perfectly acceptable for the rest of their lives. I'm pretty happy slavin' fer Cap'n Pike no matter what the person in my chair wants (long as it's somethin' I can talk about at the family "mess"), but people like you, Enigma, Duncan and the like...who really think about what they're willing to engrave on their hides, are my favorites.

Ace of Harbor Bay Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Folks keep tryin' ta talk me into gettin' the Sparrow tattoo as i spend quite a bit of time re-doing it with the old sharpie before events. I've actually have been considering it. but then there's the folks who think that it would be crazy. Not that I'm a fanatic about accuracy, just that it would be a cool reminder of my time spent portraying the character. Then again it would be me first ink and I'm a little chicken to boot. www.pirate4hire.com Pirates of Harbor Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pynch Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Just my two dubloons worth o' advice, Ace...ye may want to stick to the Sharpie Tat. Permanent ink is a helluva committment...'specially on such a visible area. Of course, this is coming from a woman who is seriously considering tattooing a dagger with "Death Before Decaf" on her calf.

Black Hearted Pearl Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 You can buy "tattoos" for a ink jet printer. I found them at OfficeMax.
