I'm planning on getting a green lightning bolt with a black outline tattooed on my right ass cheek on my birthday. It's totally significant too!

1) Harry Potter. Okay, so I want to have sex with Daniel Radcliffe and this is my way of coping.
2) Brent Corrigan. By far my favorite porn star. He has a blue star in the spot where I'm getting my bolt.
3) I really like the color green, okay?

I'm looking at getting my first tattoo, and was wondering if i'm ignorant of some complication with the design I chose; a reason it would look crummy or just in general not work out well.



This is what I would be going for, although obviously with a considerable amount less detail. I wouldn't want any shading or coloring, if possible; I like it as a line drawing. Would this not work? Also, this will be on my inside right bicep- any comments on the area as a placement?

I have been thinking about getting a tattoo, though I can't really decide what I actually want on me that I could stand after the initial novelty of it wears off.

I kind of want this since I am a big fan of Hellboy


I really like the look of this, but I don't really want to give any one an incentive to stab me


or maybe just get one of Captain America's shield, though I can't decide between the original or the current one.

You don't know what will or won't work until you go talk to an artist! I lurk at the InkedNation.com fourms, and people are always asking, "Will this work", and (as they are all a bunch of artists) everyone tells them they don't know what will or won't work on you until you are standing in front of an artist with them and talking about what it is that you want.

And BK, as for wanting something after the novelity wares off, the suggestion i always hear is to pin up a picture of what you -think- you want now, somewhere you'll see it everyday (bathroom mirror, fridge, closet door, etc), and if you still like that image after 6 months, you're probably good to have it tattoo'd with no hard feelings about it later.

...These are just, you know, general things. I hang out at Inked Nation to much. I'm beginning to get kinda bitchy like them. Ack.

I've actually seen work done on fellow concertgoers with that level of complexity but haven't actually taken the intiative to go up to someone and ask them where they got it done.  As for expensive -- assuming those colors wouldn't fade, we're talking about a long term investment.  I wouldn't hesitate to put down some serious cash for that.  I mean, I live in Manhattan, it's not like I need to buy a car.

this will be on my inside right bicep- any comments on the area as a placement?

Yeah, enjoy the session. From what I've heard, the inside of the bicep is one of the most painful spots to get a tattoo (I'm wary enough as it is about the knot band I want around my bicep and that's only going to be about an inch, inch and a half wide) . I would also generally recommend against it as, well, no one can see it there. Maybe I sound shallow, but what's the point of a tattoo in a spot no one can see? If it's of any reasonable size that people could actually identify it, it's going to be riding up almost into your armpit. The tattoo itself is nice and should be easily done, but I'd reconsider the placement if I were you.

"Serious cash" is an understatement. Same as with Darby, in order for it to be recognizable, it's going to have to be of decent size. Something with that much color in any decent size is going to cost you a hefty chunk of cash (I'm talking maybe in the $500+ range from what I've seen). My best recommendation is leave the city to do it. I live in Boston (Hence in a similar boat to you) and would never pay an artist in the city considering everything's more expensive.

Try hitting up some conventions. No way in Hell you'll get the whole thing done there as artists tend to want to do smaller things, but you could probably get the outline on the cheap there and then get the color as time goes on. I got my two tattoos for a combined $325 or so plus tip at a convention in Manchester, NH.

This would be a good tattoo, but like everyone said, it'll need to be huge to capture any detail. And it'll be pricey as fuck. And the inner bicep doesn't actually hurt that bad, thats where mine is, but the first two minutes do sting a bit.

I think it'd be a good rib piece, a good back piece, but it's way too big for a bicep.

Is anyone here an artist, or perhaps live with a Tattoo artist ?  I was curious because I was wondering how they REALLY feel about people who bring in a temporary tattoo stencil, basically leaving the artist with no creative insight to the piece.

You have to consider that most tattoo artists bread and butter are Flash (premade tattoos such as the Sailor Jerry stuff). If you bring in something that isn't flash and/or generic tribal, that's a step up from the usual client.

At the tattooing and piercing place that I usually go to there are three tattooists. Two have their own style, and if you get anything done by them, you pretty much go in expecting their work, their style. The other will do whatever you bring in. The two that have their own styles have been tattooing for years, but as far as I know the other guy is somewhat new. He'll do whatever you bring in though, and he does nice work. He is a shitty piercer though.



And Darby, I saw that, but there is no way in hell I'll be able to make it to Portland in time. Though it would be a nice vacation.

As far as I know you've got two sorts of tattoos, stock and custom. Stock/Flash, you bring in a piece or pick it off the wall and the tattooist copies it onto your skin. Bread and butter as mentioned.
Then you've got custom. Custom is going to be more expensive and while the artist is going to try and copy whatever ideas/images you've come in with, there's going to be a certain aspect of their style or ideas to it.
That said, you probably knew that already.

I'm interested to know though, how many of the people in this thread have stock tattoos? I can't understand that myself. The way I see it is that a tattoo is a permanent icon on your body. Given that it should last your entire lifetime why would you go for an image off the wall which I would assume has no personal meaning to you? I know not all tattoos have to be deep and meaningful but surely they should at least be something you've put some soul into?
Yeah? Nah?

Riz, by those guidelines wouldn't a self-designed tattoo be considered 'flash'? If you or some artist you know drew up a design for you and you brought it in to the tattoo artist to be inked, it hardly counts as non-personal...
Where is the line drawn on this sort of thing? Is custom only when the tattoo artist has artistic control over large aspects of the design, or any piece which has been drawn up just for you?

I think every artist tries to put something unique in a tattoo, even if it's a flash peice. Obviously, they get some permission first, draw it up, and show it to you before they do it. They don't want you to have the same tattoo as a million people any more then YOU want to have the same tattoo as a million people. You guys should check out the fourms on Inked Nation. I think they could explain that kind of thing a lot better then any of us, who (besides having tattoos ourselves) know little about the business. Plus, the fourms there are -hilarious-.

When I was in high school, the "thing" to get tattooed was those nautical stars. I swear, out of the tattooed people at my school, at least half had a nautical star. I still don't get why they'd get something trendy inked on them forever. The girls liked to get like three on their lower backs. The vast majority didn't even know what the purpose of the star is. "It looks cool." aw, jeeze. *rolls eyes*

No, flash is flash. Custom is something done by the tattooist or by some other artist (which maybe yourself). If it's something that's been created expressly for your tattoo then it's custom (to me at least) regardless of who did it. However, if it's an existing image taken off the shop wall or somewhere similar then it's stock/flash.

Resurrecting the Tattoo thread again 'cause guess what guys!! I got a fuckin' awesome tattoo today!!!
(I apologize for the low quality. My artist will upload the pics he took later this week, I'm sure, and e-mail me one, until then you'll have to suffer with crappy camera phone pics --her face isn't really as...bizarre as this makes it out to look. It is rather bad ass!)



So, has one one else gotten any of the tattoos they've mentioned wanting previously yet, or gotten anything at all since the last resurrection?

I have the art pretty much finished for my next big piece but I can't post it on the internet because people keep stealing my tattoos :(

My friend (who is 17) almost has his whole of both arms covered in tattoo's. And he has stars on his legs. It's pretty amazing. And he does a lot of his own work, alongside his dad. I think since September, he's had...4 more tattoos done. I might try to take some pictures of them later... I'm still in love with this tattoo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/slightclutter/147197740/
And another one that is pretty interesting (for you zombie obsessed people)

What a bunch of bitches.

Anyway, the worst part was actually her hand that goes over onto my shin -fuuuuuuuuck. The ankle bit wasn't bad at all compared to that!

RWS: your friend is 17 and already is covered in tattoos?? Well that certainly isn't legal, now is it? Is his Dad a tattoo artist (licensed, may I add)? Either way, the guy should know better (But I'm not being preachy, this is the healing process talking. Friggin' stings...)

Yes, his dad is a licensed tattoo artist. And Chris (my friend) plans on carrying on the family business, he's already done some of his own tattoos (which is...you know...not very legal either). The plan is to finish his arms by the end of the year, then move onto his back. In some places, it is actually legal with parental consent to get tattoos when you are under 18, but most places (in the US) have adopted laws against it.

I'm pretty sure the entire U.S. is "You Must be 18", the only state holding out on tattoos all together (I believe) was Oklahoma but they changed the law last year, so we're all good to go.

I'm glad I waited until I was actually 18 to get my tattoos though. My Mom had time to warm up to the idea of them, and actually really likes them now, and I had more time to think about what I really wanted. Getting a tattoo before then just seems silly to me now.

My artist is hilarious --he was complaining a bit about some of the other artists in the area and how some of them (though they do nice work) are kind of jackasses. I am glad I go to my shop and not one of they others ;) He is so entertaining.
