RickyBrown Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Any chance of a elephant with an erect penis instead of a trunk and testicles instead of tusks? c'mon man really I'm trying to do somthing nice for people here hi if your still doing this I've been thinking about a tat as a reminder type thing. Been pretty ill the last 2 years, 3 operations, maybe 5 ambulances and 10 or more stays in hospital. Was thinking of something to remind me that as bad as it ever gets, and it has been pretty bad at times, I can pull mysef through, light at the end of the tunnel type thing. I've been searching for some zen like quote about power from within and something about living for the now etc but seen so many I'm quote blind! thinking it will go on my chest or forearm, somewhere I can read it when I need to. Also thinking about kids names and birthdays as they have really pulled me through it at times, have no tattoos currently, looking for something understated and stylish instead of huge and in your face. Girls names are Olivia Niamh 16/10/2006 and Faryl Dulcie Jayne 27/11/2008 thanks dude Any ideas on what sort of imagry you might want?... Dosn't matter what even one thing would give me an idea to base the design round Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph82 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Mate I've no idea. I dont want anything thats the norm/common/chavy. thinking also I'd go for some kind of wrap around a wrist type thing so it can be disguised with watches and jewellery if needs be. I'm an average guy with no real commitment to a style, lean to a street/skate direction mostly. are there any sites you could suggest I look at maybe for inspiration? Thanks for getting back to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdoku Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just me being picky but the roses don't look quite right. The petals looks very on the surface on the flower if you know what I mean? If you looked at a photo of a rose you can see the petals start deeper inside the flower where as you ones looks like they are sorta hovering on their own. The other stuff looks cool though.

I drew roses like that for a while... got bored and now i'm trying something different... I have three of those roses on my arm... i like them... but there's no school like the old school Mate I've no idea.

Thanks for getting back to me your supposed to be providing me the inspiration not the other way round .... but really I can't just make stuff up, I find it easier designing for other people rather than myself. maybe just a google image of something thats caught your eye? please? cheers rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph82 Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 found this quote i'd like included. Does this give you an idea for imagery? Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murph82 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 a heart? wings... Quote is a bit long to be honest text would have to be scaled down lots the names and dates are cool though if you want me to do that. tempted to get that wrapped around my wrist. For image how about a lions head/face the shape of a heart with the names and dates in the mane some how???? Lionheart if thats not obvious, sure i'm not the first to think of it!?!!? would go on the left side of chest so say size wise 100 x 100 mm ish? I'm only small, wasted away from being ill!!!!

I don't think distorting a lions head to look like a heart would work if i'm honest. Iv'e just done a few quick thumbnail sketches and it isn't working too well unfortunately. Iv'e just been on google to get some ideas and I can't find any existing tattoo's like this so i'm at a loss on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just get the quote split across my two wrists? If I think of anything else, even in a while can I tap you up on here? Thanks for your time and efforts, appreciate it!

RickyBrown Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 Half sleeve, traditional Japanese style tiger with an English rose incorporated with the petals falling down around the tiger.. Tiger. I went with cherry blossom instead of the rose you asked for because I didn't think the rose fitted in as easily the japanese writing says "strong" but it was just a idea. I get it isn't really what you asked for but theme size it makes more sense... i'd suggest having the rose separately to emphasize the difference in style's also the picture is just from my camera as I can't scan it (its too big for my little A4 hp all in one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich J Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I feel like a bit of a machine popping these out every 2 minutes now i'm doing some for friends too so If I don't design somthing instantly... don't worry i'll try my best to post somthing in the next few days Cheers rick Cheers for the effort, still think I want the shoe as the largest, most prominent part. Thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason behind the madness of me wanting it. I can understand what you are saying though, and when I think about it I agree. I guess i'll have to think of a tattoo that can incorporate a rose better as I wouldn't like one on its own xD DANNNNNNGG, that's amazing. Alot more than what I expected. You got skills.

Rob. Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 i want trial bike on my knuckles hit me up a design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Just thought I'd ask for more, same design as before. But instead of the real human faces, put the actual little skull designs, you could either go the same as you have with the last one. But throw 2 realistic skulls instead of the faces. Or you could go for a re-design and do multiple little skulls with flowers etc. Feel free to do colour as well if you want If you do decide to add colour, go mad. As bright as you want within the realms of ink possibilities. Cheers again mate. Edited January 13, 2012 by MonsieurMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss-Higgy Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) I want something to finish my leg sleeve off So far i have a baby blue lizard/gecko with flames up his back, on a tribal back ground he's slap bang in the middle of my right calf. I would love more tribal, but with a spiders web coming along the top of my foot, a small black widow at the top of the web. smoke up the left of my ankle, leading to a house/building with bricks missing kind like a an ancient ruin with new age bricks and flames rising out of it? (Broken Home) Above the lizard i want a tribal dragon wing or something spreading out behind him with a dragon/daemons head hidden just behind the wing. With bits of smoke and flames nautical stars web's and embers all intertwined this should finish it upto the knee. Haven't designed beyond the knee I will try to scan the design i have done myself if i can get the scanner working and find the right sketch book Would be good to see an actual tatooist's prospective on this.

MonsieurMonkey Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I rarely give my opinion on other people's tattoos, but I think you should simplify that down, have one major theme and elements of other things. You'll get a lot better detail then on what you really want, instead of possibly having too much. Quite a small area you're wanting to get a lot into. Ever thought about having Japanese style clouds as your back ground instead of all that tribal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Higgy Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I know what you mean but i have seen someone fit a whole comic strip about his life on his shin and calf. I'm talking foot to thigh back to front not what i said in above post the dragon wing would start below the knee, so it's not that small really. And yes need to cut down on the tribal, but i would rather have more smoke or something instead of clouds, i want to keep it quite dark. And i'm in the throw spears at Dan tribe, pass me my tomahawk.
