wez Posted October 17, 2009 Posted October 17, 2009 Hey TJ.. how about... Jack .. stamped on your ass? Quote
timesjoke Posted October 20, 2009 Author Posted October 20, 2009 Well now I have her reworking this design in several ways, I liked Ali's idea of repossitioning the scythe so we are giving that a try, it just does not catch my eye as much as it did with the wings, I was really loking for something different and without the wings, this looks like most other depictions of a reaper, nothing special. I may have to start over and keep looking for a new design. Quote
emkay64 Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 TJ...it's your skin. If the wings are what make the picture for you, then keep them in. Another idea could be to...accentuate the scythe..make it bigger and add text on the blade...a meaningful quote about time. Sorry...too many ideas. You are prolly getting overwhelmed. Just go with what you love. Quote
Hack Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I, Myself, am not into the whole Reaper/death theme. though Time throws in a different meaning... I have a simple portrait of a dragon in profile (a theme in my writing) and a cartoon devil with a halo...(hot stuff, by name)... the dragon is all in shades of black and I worked with the tattoo artist for a few days on that one. my advice is to find a good tattoo artist, first and foremost, and work with them until you are satisfied with it. I imagine you want something original and personal and it is worth the time to work that out. Quote
snafu Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 So did you get the tattoo? My wife got one just got a butterfly on her foot just before Christmas and I'm wrestling with getting my avatar on either my shoulder or for arm. I just don't know.

My wife got one just got a butterfly on her foot just before Christmas and I'm wrestling with getting my avatar on either my shoulder or for arm. I just don't know. No, I chickened out, so many people were pointing out flaws fromt heir view that it derailed my own views of the image and so I decided to let some time pass before giving it a try again. Quote

snafu Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Well I'm still waiting on my consultation with the artist about my tattoo. They made me wait until the 29th. I’m glad they did because I’ve moved the spot of where I want it three times. I now want it on my ride shoulder as that’s where the flag should be portrayed. The problem now is the flag on the face of the eagle is facing the wrong way. I can either have the flag flying correctly with the ensign top left or the eagle facing the viewer but then the flag would be backwards. I never considered this before and after all these years as using “War Paint” as an avatar and backgrounds I didn’t realize that the flag is backwards. Now can’t decide which way to face the eagle.

timesjoke Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 I am reviving my interest in a tattoo again as well, I am looking through more images trying to see if another design catches my eye. I am also looking for inspiration for a tattoo that will include the names of my children and clocks/time passing. Quote
ToriAllen Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 What would be cool is the Reaper image where he is turned slightly and you can barely make out part of the skull in the shadows. I'll see what I can find. Quote Smart men learn from their own mistakes; Wise men learn from others. I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
timesjoke Posted February 23, 2010 Author Posted February 23, 2010 Okay, as long as nothing changes, I should be getting my tattoo tonight, we are getting together late this afternoon with new drawings and as long as I feel good about what she has put together, I will sit in the chair tonight. Right now we are leaning away from the wings and she is making her own image inspired by this image. If this happens I will post a photo, wishe me luck, lol. Oh, if anyone sees a cool image of a clock/time representation please let me know, I am already planning my second tattoo and I want it to be about time. I would really like something original but I would need some direct involvement from a true artist who can create from scratch. This tattoo lady seems pretty good on adapting but I don't get the feeling she has talent starting from zero. My idea for the other peice would have images representing the passage of time and the names of my three children to represent that time passes, but we live on through our children. Quote
snafu Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 With all the turmoil in my life I put mine on hold. I'm still planning on it someday. Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws. That's just insane!" Penn & Teller NEVER FORGOTTEN
timesjoke Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 Well, I got my tat but I let a friend keep my camera to take pictures of a tat his wife was getting after me. He will give me my camera in the morning and I will see about posting a picture, but it was very red and some of the details did not show well, it will look better after it heals and that I understand can take a couple weeks to get 100%. snaf buddy, I sure wish you well, I know you have commented on many, many issues you have had to deal with and I am sure your just painting with broad strokes on the forum. Hang in there my friend, everything finds a balancing point sooner or later where you can get your feet back under you. Quote

timesjoke Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 Well, I have many, many pictures, she let me take some during the process and it is pretty cool to see how it all comes together. I will post this one, it is still fresh and angry red but looks pretty good, she says the detail will show a little better once it heals. [attach=full]2586[/attach] Quote

hugo Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 . There are exceptions to the rule. That's the kind of tat a true conservative would get.
