Another threaddddd by me! lol

[NaughtyAmberX]

So, about the tattoo idea, I changed my mind.
I'm going to start drawing up ideas for one; it's going to be a tattoo of my mom's full name, her birth date and the day she died, with a rose and a ribbon, maybe?
Hmm, not sure. It'll be some type of design. Maybe a dolphin, because she liked them. Just wanted to give you an update!

Just take your time with it and you'll be happy.

^^^This.

Also, try to keep in mind, a tattoo is gonna be on you for life, unless you can pay a shit ton of money to get it removed. Make sure it's something you won't regret in 10 or 20 years.

 

[NaughtyAmberX]

Yeah, if it's a memorial for my mom I know I won't regret it.
That's why I thought I probably shouldn't get that quote that I posted in a previous thread.

 

[SatanJonez]

Yeah, I wanted to say it in the other thread, but didn't want to insult you. This is a much better idea especially since it'll be your first. Memorials are rarely regretted and usually only if the tattoo artist makes it look like shit.

 

[NaughtyAmberX]

Yeah, I'm gonna go to a tattooist that my mom and dad were good friends with.
It's 30 miles away, but TOTALLY WORTH IT because he's a great artist!

 

[Syntastic]

Yeah. It's always a very important thing to make sure the artist *can* do the tattoo you want, but especially for memorial ones. This pic is one of the more well known examples of this rule.

 

[NaughtyAmberX]

GAWD, THAT IS HORRIBLE!
Yeah, like I said, I'm probably not getting a pic of her.
Just a dolphin jumping out of a cloud, with her name and such below the cloud. Should be pimpin'.

 

[Cassidy Nicole]

That is a horrible tattoo, and for real make sure its something you dont regret. I already regret mine and what it "stood" for when I got it.

 

[LadyLuna]

A perfect example of why a tattoo should never be done directly off a picture.

Instead- turn the pic into a sketch. Give THAT to the tattoo artist.
(Just for those who wonder about the pics that turn into a GOOD tattoo, since I've seen those, and was with my brother when he was talking to his tattoo artist how it's done ^.^)

Cassidy, the dolphin sounds awesome.

 

[Keithy]

unfortunately if didn't turn out that well...
spoiler for video

 

[tubby556]

That is awesome!

I have two tattoos. Left shoulder is a Prussian eagle. Right shoulder is the globe, eagle, anchor emblem from the US Marine Corps with a scroll banner with their motto "Semper Fidelis" underneath with 2001-2005 in a scroll banner above it, the years I served. Semper Fidelis is latin meaning "always faithful". Don't regret either of them. The only thing that sucks is the red from the beak and feet on the Prussian eagle got absorbed over time so it's only a black ink now, but still looks ok.

 

[Cassidy Nicole]

I want to get "only god can judge me" on my ribs or something. i keep going back and forth bc i dont want to regret it.

Not to be too geeky but the Japanese had a game called Super Mario Bros. 2 and Bowser was indeed a part of it. The SMB2 we have in the US is actually a Japanese game called Doki Doki Panic that was rebranded with Mario characters and then released in the US as a Mario game. That's why SMB2-US had a lot of weird shit like tossing vegetables instead of fireballs.

 

[tubby556]

Yeah, that was a weird game for sure.

Figured I'd throw my hat in the ring. This is the one I have on my right leg after the last time I had work done on it. Excuse the blood on the Triforce. I need to go in again soon for the fourth and final pass. It looks much better now that it's healed but I'm too lazy and comfortable to get up and grab my camera. But yeah, I put months of thought and planning into this one before I finally got it started. Went so far as to decide it was going on the right leg because Link is left handed, so his shield is in his right hand.
