This is why I've waited forever to get a barcode tat. The lines have to be perfect. After a while the lines will bleed naturally anyway, so I might never get one.

anyway there you go, its not done...and purple background isnt part of the design, i just got tired of looking at a white background. any opinions???

Prank, why is it upside down? Was the board originally that way? I'll color it for you using the colors you used. Just let me know. Sweet design btw.

thats the way it was designed and layed out on the board. he's suppose to be upside down. if you want to give a shot at coloring it go right ahead. i can give you the codes for the colors if you want them, they're really simple basic colors.

i can send you a picture and you can color it in. its in jpeg format though and i dont want the colors to blend or darken or shade or lighten at all. or you can copy the picture on the first page of this thread and use that. its what i'd send you anyway....

I've got quite a large tribal design accross my shoulder blades, and a a sleave with an asian design of a mounted samurai and an oni and some lettering and all the shadings and bell and whistles. Will eventually be fully inked with a mixture of neo tribal and asian motives.

motifs you mean?


anyway to the left is my latest avatar...and the finished design i'll be getting done minus the purple background.

thanks to darklanser for doing the work on it (i think he only finished what i was doing...lol not sure!)


he did do a great job with the avatar thats for sure.

ok so i go by the local tattoo shop i've gone to before....

for the design i've shown in this thread its going to cost me....about 350 bucks. OUCH! that hurts more than the process itself. the one i showed them is the one they gave a price for and is a little bigger than the one i'll be getting done...so it'll probably cost a little bit less. my first guess was 250-300 bucks but that was with a smaller version than the one i showed them. i'll try to get a pic of it up once its done and healed.

i also saw about 10-20 dragons i'd like to have put on me....and some turtles! (yes folks i like turtles)

i think i'll go for this one first and get of the other ones later.

but there is this really nice black and white ram...might get that one next...

i just cant decide! so much skin and so little time to get it all inked!

i'd like to have put on me....and some turtles! (yes folks i like turtles)

the teenage mutant ninja turtle kind lol

lol no not TMNT. actual turtles.

i also like frogs lizards and salamanders, certain species are vibrantly colored and are "natural" candidates for future tatoos.

Some of your tattoos are amazing guys!!
I've got one at the moment a celtic Knotwork on my lower back, its a circle entwined with a triangular knot. In scottish lore it represents the journey of two lives forever together although they take different paths. I got that one done in memory of my dad. I get number two within the month!! YIPPEE!!! As soon as my artist finishes converting the picture of my wedding ring into an eight inch knotwork we are both happy with!!
I got married in october and our wedding rings were custom made and my darling husband (who doesn't actually like tattoos) ordered the design of the tattoo from the knotwork on the ring as a christmas present. I'm so excited, it will be about eight inches long and will go across the centre of my shoulders.

ok...........

barring accident, fire or some HUGE bill I dont know about......... I get inked 2 weeks from today.( the image is above somewhere if you want to see what it is)

I have six and counting. I love getting tattos. It's more than having the tattoo that makes it appealing, it's the act of getting it. I hope to have a whole body suit by the time I die. I'm working on "half sleeves" on my forearms right now.

How about a one on my penis, of my penis, only larger?


GOOD NIGHT FOLKS!

Hopeless when it comes down to these things!!

to DarkLanser for taking the time to design the graphic for it.......... cheers !

l have two and don't really care for them anymore.

l have a small cartoon cactus on my lower back it's really cute.

The other is an arm band, I wish I didn't get.. But I wasn't thinking at the time. Got them both when I was 18 or 19 i'm not sure. But I had my head stuck up my ass.

I don't regret the cartoon one though because it's pleasant to look at, it's has two eyes and he's sticking out his tongue.

Very cute, I must say.

Reason I got them? At first the arm band was because I thought about that one for awhile and decided that was the only one I was ever going to get.

Then I went with my friend who got her nipple or something pierced, and saw the cactus on the wall and HAD to have it. So I did, and it was the cutest investment i've ever made. THE END.
