Pynch Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Every once in awhile, whilst slav'in away fer Capn' Pike, workin' my inky fingers to the bone, someone comes in that wants something fun. Yesterday, he came in the form of a sailor wanting a "Polynesian-style Jolly Roger, but sorta gothy, tribal, ya know what I mean?" tattoo. So this is what I gave 'him...and he loved it. Some days, it IS worth chewing out of the restraints! "Show me a man with a tattoo, and I'll show you a man with an interesting past." ~Jack London Life is a Circus, and I am the Human Cannonball.

Stynky Tudor Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 Wow Pynch, thats a great design and great ink work! Is that your design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pynch Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 Many thanks Stinky! Aye, tis my own design. I specialize in custom work and plan to have a sheet of Pirate flash (the stuff that you see all over a tattoo studio to choose from) available soon. Tis a rare opportunity when someone comes in wantin' something more than the stuff off the walls so I figgered I might as well make it a bit more interestin'.

"Broadside" Long Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 That is some DAMN fine work! Makes me wanna run out and get some more ink. Did you come up with that design on the spot? If ye did yer a creative genius. Arrrr!

Captain_MacNamara Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I need someone to design me a piece fit for a pirate... I can't draw worth a damn. What do ye charge fer a small design?

If ye did yer a creative genius.Arrrr! Broadside, his mark Well, if creative genius means that I had about a half an hour before it was drawn, then I'll take this here pointy white cap off and scribble "Smarty" acrosst my forehead! :) Coming up with this on the spot was almost a no-brainer...I "click" on an artistic level with this particular client. Besides, I LOVED the subject matter. Thanks Broadside. :) "Show me a man with a tattoo, and I'll show you a man with an interesting past." ~Jack London Life is a Circus, and I am the Human Cannonball.

Just send me a PM or email and we'll talk. ::gets back to work on Pern's art before he keel hauls her:: "Show me a man with a tattoo, and I'll show you a man with an interesting past." ~Jack London Life is a Circus, and I am the Human Cannonball.

Captain_MacNamara Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I asked, and I recieved! I am thoughoughly impressed with her work... I asked for something with a Maltese cross, which is in my SCA coat of arms, and the old style Skull N' Bones... I think it's perfect! I should be able to get 'er done by halloween...

JoshuaRed Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 NICE work on both accords, Pynch. Where are you based? I just might have to pay you a visit sometime for my first tat....piratical of course. I like the Polynesian Jolly Roger...it reminds me of a carved Jack O' Lantern. Cool stuff!

Pynch Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 I'm in far by-gawd-Southern Maryland. Lexington Park, St. Mary's County to be exact. Almost an hour and a half drive south from Annapolis. but I've been known to travel fer a bit of interestin' ink. :) So if'n you ever truly feel inclined to go under the needle, hoist a flag and I'm at yer service. (and thanks for the compliment. Means much coming from another designer/artist. Love the Jack-O-Lantern idea...may have to use that one!)

JoshuaRed Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Well that's not too bad...I'm in the Philly area. What I think I might want to do is something very "period" looking, such as colonial tombstone art...a skull with wings & hourglass, etc. I'd also like something nautical...perhaps a sloop, or some hemp rope going around my arm coupled with a sea serpent done in the style sailors used to carve in their scrimshaw.

Pynch Posted October 18, 2004 Author Share Posted October 18, 2004 All the elements would make for a great looking work of dermo-art. When you think you're ready...toss a message in a bottle my way! In the meantime, I'll post up appropriate works when they come my way.

Almost an hour and a half drive south from Annapolis. Well, damn. I'da stopped in if'n I'd known.

Rumba Rue Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Ah in my twisted mind I got a picture of your post Pirate Ink, as something that must disappear in the moonlight. Good art work. Unfortunately I don't do needles otherwise I'd have a tattoo myself by now.

Captain_MacNamara Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I'm scared to death of needles... But that's part of the intrigue for me. Facing my fear...

Pynch Posted October 19, 2004 Author Share Posted October 19, 2004 Rue, Duncan...it's a differn't sort of needle. I'm no fan of the intrusive kind of medical apparatus m'self. A tattoo needle is much less intrusive and although the duration of time is longer, it's more irritating than painful. Usually, your endorphins kick in after about 10 minutes and take the edge off, but by then, your tat should be done Duncan!

Captain_MacNamara Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 aye, the beauty of a simplistic design! My first tattoo was done by an idiot with a home-made gun (myself). My second one was sort of an extention of the first, making an arm-band, and though the guy used a professional rig, he went way too deep in spots... This time, I'm going with the pro who did my Lady's tattoos... Captain of the Iron Lotus It is the angle that holds the rope, not the size of the hole.
