Share Your Pieces Of Art - Tattoo Style

Everyone has already seen what I have. Hopefully I can get a new one before I go back to work in September.

I am unsure what tattoo to get!!

What are the pros and cons of getting a tattoo? + Where is the best place to have it?

Evolve and discuss!!

If you 'Um' and 'Aw' about getting a tattoo then dont bother getting one; be 100% certain that you want it.

I do have a design which I am going to get in August....

I love the design. Is that something you came up with yourself?

It'll turn out great. Very nice.

It's beautiful!

I have an idea to add though... what about a few roses (or another flower) wrapped around the lines? Or maybe some thorns? Admittedly cliche, but it would look even more stunning...! (That's what i would do, at least) It's up to you madam; it's YOUR tat!

Yeah I did it on PC, I wanted something with lines coming off an Ankh.

This is the original one....

LOVE that Vampira

I have 3 of them.
I need to post pictures of them.
The worst was the yin/yang design I got on my lower back(since I am older I want to add that I got a lower back tattoo before they became trendy).
The ones on my legs weren't too bad,one is still sort of unfinished though.

I'm planning on getting this as a chest piece. I drew and designed it myself. I'm not sure if I want to color it or to have it black and white, woodcut style or to have it shaded grey and black. Whaddyathink?
Oh yes, the little oval bits on the hourglass will have a crab and a scorpion to symbolize me and my boy.

Yes, it's so nice! Looks as if the Ankh had wings. Absolutely lovely

I don't have any tattoos yet, but I'd like to get a single leaf on my left shoulder with some lovely design sometime, and I also like the Lenore picture I have in my avatar... especially the wings It's a pity I'm not too good at drawing, or else I'd design some kind of wings for myself along these lines (even though I know wings aren't that original anymore).

I think color would be nice. It would pop out.

Thanks gals! I was thinking maybe dark purple roses and sand with black/grey wings.

Maybe sort of like this:
(That's supposed to be more of a plum purple)

Aw, thank you, Vamp! Now I can only hope the tat artist can accurately tattoo it and that it looks good on me!

Wow!
That is going to be one georgous tattoo!

Thanks! I was wondering, do you all think it might be adventagous to move a rose or something to make it more visually interesting? I've always been told that symmetry is boring.

I've known alot of decorators who group things in groups of three instead of two for more visual impact.
Maybe you could add another rose in an unexpected place?

Perfect GhostRed. Just the right amount of colour.

Thanks all! I will be sure to post pics when I get it done!

GhostRed: That tat design is to die for! I love it! Don't change one darned thing! A post oodles and oodles of pictures when it's done!!

You know I will, Kasha! I'm also planning a sleeve that is done in the style of the old scientific animal drawings of the 1800s. Octopi, manta rays, bats, thing of that sort!

I'm planning a Japanese sleeve based on the old Japanese woodblock prints.
