Show off your tattoos! ^-^

[Elov]

Oh sure! That would be awesome! ^-^ I'm not super savvy with all of that, so I just did my best to re-size. It was no problem to put your credit! You deserve it! <3

I just kind of learned how to do this myself recently as well. x) A general rule of thumb. If you want to keep artwork good quality and have it keep its original transparency always save it as a .png file and never .jpg. Jpg files compress the image and make it lose quality but png keeps it like the original. ^-^ Also its a good idea to upload it to sites such as imgur, deviantart or photo bucket so it'll keep its quality and you'll have it stored somewhere. For avatars if you resize a transparent image to 100x100 it'll be transparent. Any other size it'll lose transparency for some reason. x)

Anyways sorry for the techy image tips lol! Heres the transparent avi! You can use this link to upload it. ^^ http://i.imgur.com/z7RzFth.png?1 or if you want you can save and upload it from your computer just make sure it's saved as .png! c: If it ends up looking weird or something please let me know ^^

This is sick. I really like the design and the fact that you made it yourself really adds to it.

This is the kind of tattoo I would get.

Wow. That's such a huge compliment. Thank you. >w<

Also, I'm so glad your tattoo is getting so much love! ^-^ <3

Oh thank you! You have lovely tattoos as well! I really like the flower one! ^-^ If I had the money (and had a job that would allow it...) I would be covered in them as well! ^-^

I am terrified of needles, so no tattoos for me. If I did get one, I'd probably get a tiny one on my wrist. It would be a taco with a smiley face. Because tacos are amazing. And some feathers on the back of my neck and a cute narwhal on my other wrist.

 

[KaydeeKrunk]

I kinda want to get a triforce or the three spiritual stones from Legend of Zelda at some point! Ideally I would want the triforce, with the triforce of wisdom glowing, on the back of my hand, but that DEFINITELY won't work with my job! :C

When I went to get my first tattoo the tattoo artist's son was there and he showed me his triforce UV tattoo, it was really epic because you couldn't see it at all until he put the UV light on it which he had a keychain for, and it glowed really yellow and it was awesome. That could always be an option. =]

I'm gunna put these in a spoiler cause I don't know how big they're gunna be...

Spoiler: My Tattoos

The tattoo on top was my first tattoo, it says ART one way and LIFE the other way because art is my life. Under it is a bird in a ribcage.

Second part to that tattoo is a heart in a bird cage on my other arm.

A butterfly I got for the butterfly project on my thigh, you can probably see the scars there too.

A kitty skull based off a painting I did in art class in " O'Keefe" style. Because I love dead things and cats. On my other thigh.

A planchette on my sternum, because I'm a creepy person and I like ouija and ghosts and all things spoopy.

Oh wow! That taco idea sounds adorable and pretty original to me! Also the narwhal would be cool. Sorry you are scared of needles though! Maybe someday you will be able to overcome that and have your tattoos! ^-^

Ooo! Thanks for the tip on the triforce tattoo! ^-^ Unfortunately the images of your tattoos aren't showing up for me right now, but your descriptions are very interesting! ^-^ Also... Do you have a white snake with blue eyes as a pet? The art is very pretty! ^-^

ooh, i really like the la dispute one!

I don't have any tattoos yet, partially due to money but mainly due to fear that it won't turn out how i want it/i'll end up hating it, but i've wanted tattoos since i was really young, I have my eye on a few tattoo artists and a few ideas, I plan on being pretty heavily tattooed

Nothing wrong with being nervous about how it turns out/hating it! It sounds like you already know to do a lot of research and look through portfolios. Two things I always recommend people do when looking for an artist and a shop.

1) Find somewhere with an actual name (i.e. something like Red Skull Tattoos instead of just a sign that says Tattoos) since I feel that says a lot about quality and the care they put into it.

2) Make sure they can do more than just trace! I think it turns out much better if you get someone who is an actual artist to do the work! ^-^

Bumpity Bump-bump! ^-^

my first (and only) tattoo - it took 5 or 6 hours
i was about 2.5 years vegetarian at the time but not anymore (it was taking too much of a toll on my health) but even so i don't regret it at all!

sorry for the glare and enlarged pores aha

Oh! How pretty! I love cows! ^-^ I am a pescatarian myself, so I can definitely appreciate this tattoo! I really like the style too!
Don't apologize about the glare or pores silly! That happens when you take pics of skin! ;P

I'm sorry vegetarianism was taking a toll on your health though! That is unfortunate... :C

Two betta fish (my late pets) in a yin-yang inspired shape on my right shoulder blade. Booked in for a 4hr session and have been told I may need to come back another day if he can't get all the detail finished. I'm really excited for it.

Oh that sounds beautiful! I'm sorry to hear about your late fish, but the design sounds gorgeous and it will be a great way to remember them! I would absolutely love to see a pic when you get it done! I have a plan to get two paw prints with the names of my cats on my back and to keep adding to it as time goes by and I have other cats. That way I will always have a reminder of my babies! ^///^

That is a long session for a first tattoo! I hope the pain isn't too terrible for you and I hope they can get it all done in one sitting! For me it was only the outline and the last 30 seconds or so that really hurt. The outline hurts because they have to press harder to get the ink deeper, and the last 30 seconds hurt because it was white (so he had to press harder) and it was right on my spine. The coloring in just sort of vibrated/tickled and wasn't bad at all! ^-^
