Twilight (Sorry for cursing)
Alex C:
It's kinda nice to see someone go for a balanced pair without just making the dragons mirror images of each other, although I'm not really fond of the end result either.
tricia kidd:
i'm just saying, if being "detailed and elaborate" is what makes a good tattoo, that's like saying that Avatar is more visually interesting than Pi.
JD:
That is a pretty elaborate tattoo. More elaborate than I'd like anyway.
tricia kidd:
there are two schools of thought for people who get tattoos. most people get tattoos because they want a picture on their body. some people get tattoos because they want it to look like something that is more of... i suppose an "emblem"? people make fun of "tribal" tats all the time but really, i much prefer something which is elegantly simple and not a specific reference to anything at all to a picture of someone from a movie or book or a band logo.
it's an aesthetic argument that can't be won, because both preferences are valid. but they are different and it is also valid to prefer one to the other.
Lines:
Yes, it's all about aesthetics and everyone's opinion is different. That doesn't make us wrong for disliking the tattoo you posted and it doesn't make you wrong for not being impressed by the shading on that apple or whatever. But I'm an artist. I like things to be visually engaging. I honestly don't mind tribal tattoos, I just think they're banal. I honestly like simple black tattoos over very colorful ones, but I happen to think there's more interesting work out there. Like this and pretty much everything else on that guy's site. They're simple, but very original in style, more intricate, and more dynamic.
But seriously. I know Twilight is stupid, but this is the Twilight thread. There is a tattoo thread where this can be discussed.
