JCC A Tattoo Appreciation, Discussion, and Sharing Thread <3

Got several, but no pictures. Chinese writing, several stars, dragon, English flag, Aztec Black Sun.

 

Yeah, agreed on going with color. I think the colors you chose would look really good.

 

well, i love a good, consistent community opinion - i will work up some colored versions of the artwork...

ophelia - that's larger than i thought it was ... beautiful! i have yet to get anything on my back.. mostly 'cause i wouldn't be able to see it

 

I love optical illusion tattoos:

 

He kind of ruins it with the arrow and having to point out it's a tattoo.

 

BOOM!
I'm an artist!

 

you're hired...

 

Agreed, but I don't think that was part of the tattoo. I just couldn't find a better picture of the pen.

 

that's actually very impressive detail and coloring in that 'picolas cage' tattoo

 

I like that Picolas Cage will forever reside next to a Wu Tang logo.

 

i am happy (?) to inform that, after a brief (unintentionally hilarious) conversation with my mentor at the shop, i am willing to give, FREE, a taint tattoo - design limited, but to your liking - to any one of you, provided the following: you show up preshowered and preshaved... you tell me your real name and your JC name... you sign a waiver... no racist symbols .

i anticipate i will do ZERO of these in my life... but hey... the offer is on the table... you're welcome.

I'm trying to limit it to locals... lol.

Oh, what the hell... let's throw vin in there, too.

 

this is a totally open invitation to allllllll... the best part, or the worst depending on how you look at it, is that no one will want/do a taint tattoo.

 

You hope.

 

i truly believe that i have a greater chance of being struck by lightening than for anyone to take me up on the offer...

 

I'm going to laugh so hard if some long-time lurker hits you up.

 

taint no way, taint no how!

 

Nah, my taint is too precious to muck up.

 

Do you have one of these (dorje)? How does it work?

 

i am not sure that i understand your question.. i do have dorje pendants, that i wear as jewelry - but i don't know how they work... i know what they mean, though...

 

5 years ago today I got my first tattoo! I was visiting my best friend, who was getting one on her arm, and I decided to get the one I had been contemplating for the last year or so. Her artist was really cool about it and since they didn't have many appointments that day he took a few minutes after hers to do mine Had such a great experience with him that I went back a year and a half later and got my second one!

 

happy Tattooiversary! you should celebrate by getting another one today!!

edit: speaking of, i will be getting tattooed today - getting the other collar, and possibly the Dorje/Bell and lotus... we'll see how the time goes...
