Don't worry about it man, I didn't get it dead on, but I got it somewhat close enough to my liking, it' the background image on my myspace page. Thanks for attempting it though!  |

All of them besides my 77... Leo is going to be on that arm also. After I get Leo done, I'll go back to my left arm and add a few more things. One of my ideas is to get a small Bob-omb, Goomba, and Koopa Trooper (from Mario Bros.) underneath my sugar skull and the phrase "One Up" in pixelated letters under them. --- Not only for myself, but Mario is something my mom always loved the hell out of, and my left arm is basically for stuff 'close to my heart.' I beg you to go through with at least one of the Mario themed tattoos. It's kind of funny though, my left arm has turned into the "close to my heart" arm as well. Just trying to figure out what to put on there next is the tricky part. |

Bro, I fully plan on it, I've got at least 3 inches of space between the skull and my wrist to work with.
I told my mom the idea yesterday and she loved it. I don't know, if I get three characters, I'm torn between the Koopa Trooper, and getting a 'shy guy'.

First let me say, everyone here has incredible ink. AdamBomb has the most colorful tats ive ever seen. Anyways, I've been a fan or pro wrestling for many, many years. Especially of Doink The Clown.. Well six months ago I got my latest(I've been broke).  It's not finished as of yet, Like I said i'm just broke! It's on my right calf. (The picture quality sucks) |

Doink is a very unique choice for a tattoo! Thanks for the comment on my ink too! I was really thinking about getting nothing but black and gray on my right arm, until I got my sugar skull and saw how much color really can pop out... especially on my pastie white skin, lol.
I can't believe how much I've fallen in love with tattoos, if I wasn't so damn afraid about messing up, I'd love to learn how to do it professionally.
Off topic:
The new issue "Tattoo Savage" is pretty killer.
Anyone plan on watching the new reality show "Tattoo Highway" on A&E this Wednesday? As much as I dislike a lot of these shows, I've really been looking forward to seeing this one for some weird reason... maybe it's the glimmer of hope that FINALLY one of these programs will focus more on the tattoos, and less on BS filler crap.
Anyway, he's a little ad for anyone who (somehow) hasn't heard about this:

I e-mailed Tim Kern a while ago about trying to get something done at Hell City, and after a month I figured that I wouldn't hear from him.
I get an e-mail from him today saying he has a couple of open times for Hell City, but now I'm not going.

I'm dropping him a line to set up an appointment for sometime later on in the year at his shop in NYC. I don't care when it's for, I'll make the trip for the tattoo alone.

Wow dude, my hat is off to you. I'm glad you dig his work that much!
I've been REALLY considering saving some cash and trying to attend one of the Hell City festivals for 2010... I'd love to catch the one in Phoenix for this year, but I just don't see myself saving a couple of grand in time for it.

I saw a really kickass tattoo today of a samurai sword that went down the back of this guy's arm. The handle was more toward his shoulder, and the blade tip was at his wrist, and it had like smoke around it. I wouldn't mind having something like it.
I'm saving up some money to get a tribute tatto for my uncle. I'm not 100% on placement and such, but I'm leaning toward having it across my upper back/shoulders. It'll be a phoenix rising from the ashes holding a ribbon saying "Uncle Dave" with his birth and death dates, and then in really cool writing about the wings I want it to say something my uncle used to say a lot. "He knew everything he needed to know" across one wing, and "What he didn't know wasn't worth knowing" across the other. I'm unsure if I want to go B&W or have color.

If you're pale - or not too tanned - I'd recommend going with color.
I decided I'm definitely getting Leo next soon. After that, my next session I'm going to get a small nautical star (black and red, between the skull and bomb), a few small black (and colored) stars, the Mario Bros. characters underneath my sugar skull, and a decent sized traditional lighting bolt on the left side of my bomb.
I can't wait until my next session.

So just for the hell of it, I took a couple minutes to sketch kind of what I'm going for. I'll leave the finer details to a real artist, but this is kind of a blueprint.  |

Lovin' the bomb!
I need my tattoo touchin' up but I got it done in florida so can't just nip back whenever i want haha.
So I'm leaning towards getting another tattoo mainly so I can ask to have my previous one touched up whilst i'm there.

 Figured I'd post mine, why not? I got it done over 2 1/2 years ago. I really wanted a tattoo for the longest time but I could never decide on what I wanted. I was looking through a book of tour posters at Books-a-Million one day and that caught my eyes. It's drawn by a fan/friend of the band Thursday for their tour poster. I love the idea more than the band, representing freedom, being released by the hands and whatnot. I got it down on the outside of my right calf. I'm not sure if I want to add to it ever or not. The only thing I could think of is getting the dove colored in white, or adding the lyrics, "we can rise on the wings of the dove," around it. I kind of like it as is though. I keep thinking of what to do next but I'm ridiculously indecisive and haven't concluded on anything yet. woot for leg hair. |
