TattooDesign

Yeah so I made my own tattoo design, scanned it in, vectorized it in photoshop, and came up with these 3. I'm not sure which one I want to get... Let's vote

Re: TattooDesign

Is it a random assortment of slashes and hooks designed to look hip and edgy, or does it actually mean something?

Re: TattooDesign

Just my own rendition of some tribal design thing, I was scared to get something that meant anything because I'ld end up regretting it. I figure I'm less likely to regret getting something that just looks cool.

Re: TattooDesign

This is why tattooing is stupid. Why wouldn't you get a tattoo that actually means something to you? Tattoos are personal things. You're getting something permanently ETCHED into your skin that will cost a lot more money to remove than to have it put there. It should be something you feel very strongly about rather than just some stupid design that you WILL end up regretting ten years down the line when edgy slashes aren't in anymore.

That said, I like the red one.

Re: TattooDesign

I like the left one's color scheme, also you should definitely get it done if you designed it yourself. At least that's my opinion.

Yup yup, the blue and green one looks the best.

Re: TattooDesign

The right one looks like the only one of the 3 able to be a tattoo. The other two just look cool because of the gradient glow behind them

Re: TattooDesign

While I like the green one the best, the one on the right is much more practicle.

Re: TattooDesign

Where is this going and how big do you want it?

Re: TattooDesign

Those are really bad. It's just a random jumble of lines. It's not even really a tribal design, and tribal designs are usually ugly enough. Even worse, the color schemes are completely gaudy. It looks bad on the computer, and it would look terrible on your skin.

Man, I'm not trying to be a dick here, but I seriously think that getting any of those tattoos would be a huge mistake.

Re: TattooDesign

Yeah, the two on the left would not be possible, or if they were able to have that "glow" coming off of them, it would end up looking a lot different on your skin than it does on the computer screen.

Re: TattooDesign

It makes me think of something written in Klingon for some reason. It's kind of boring but then I like designs more than images when it comes to tattoos.

You haven't seen many colored tattoos have you? I lot of them actually have glow to them, in fact my mom's does. I'm going to go get an estimate on the left and right designs and see what they say, but they can do pretty much do anything with tattoos now. I mean the even have glow in the dark ones... what's next holographic tattoos?! crazy mo'fo's

Edit:

Oh and it's for the outter side of my right calf. Not super large but big enough. Maybe 8 inches tall idk?

Re: TattooDesign

I'm curious as to how a tattooist could do Photoshop filters on someone's skin.

Re: TattooDesign

The actually draw it on you first, and then they tattoo it. I believe they just variate thickness for the lighter and darker areas of the color and then they can also do shading with some black.
