talking about mine?? he has to go back over some lines plus do a lot more shading. It looks "gray" because of the A&D ointment. The artisttold me certain colors show on dark skin and mixed colors. I havent decided if i want to color in the flowers yet

I plan on starting on my half sleeve pretty soon.. I'm black, but my upper arms aare pretty light.. If they do tan its like a caramel color. The artistsaid red/blues/greens should be able to show, but no yellows and light colors (obviously)..

Interesting... so what's the meanings?

this is pretty awesome. I like how all the lines and patterns compliment each other. I've been wanting to do something like this but i would want my tattoo for meaning over art. just my 2 cents. can you explain yours?
I'm not going to go into detail because it's too long describe but each symbol represents something. It is my family's history from mygreat-grandparents, grandparents, mom, dad, step-dad, sister, 2 brothers, and my niece. But for this pattern on my arm, it mainly represents my moms side ofthe family because I haven't been close with any of my family members on my fathers side (ever since he died. but i'm slowly rekindling with themagain).

make sure you have an idea that's timeless and meaningful.

make sure you've found the right artist.

look at other tat's for what you like and don't like.

 

[kiddin like jason]

I've been thinking about some kind of "Think outside the box/Don't put me in a box" visual, but I just can't fathom the idea of having abox on my body for the rest of my life; there's no way to make a box look dope.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Get a box, but at one corner, leave that jawn unfinished..........on some real analytical +@%.
I want to get something referencing my Jamaican roots. I want the Doctor Bird, but am unsure of how something like this (a) would show up on my skin (b).
A

B


I'm mainly concerned with the green, and my skin is for the most part consistent with that shade of darkie. I also want to incorporate "Out of many,one people."

Question: Do you think a tattoo of that shade of green would be viable/visible on my skin tone?

so it would be as followed "quote" - In loving memory of (Dads Name) Date-date

should i put his name or something like Dad? i think his name would be good but let me know how that would sound/look

What's the quote?

something like "The only thing you'll always have in life is your word" its along the lines of that

Well hopefully you know the exact verbiage of the quote before you get it tatted on you

i have the perfect concept and perfect idea ... its not anything super original but the placement/meaning/subtleties of it will make it perfect... im having trouble finding an artist i trust and finding a font that looks perfect ...

^^^ thats pretty good work homie:.

 

[davidisgodly]

At first I saw the heart, I was not impressed. I see the wings now, and it just grasped a different meaning. A great piece to say the least. Would get my votefor sickest tattoo in the thread.



oh but the owl tattoo get the cake though..

 

[freshjayz]

The first of an entire sleeve dedicated to my mother.
After 4 hours we decided it was a good stopping point.
Going back in soon to get some touch ups/more color.

He is gonna fix my other tattoo when I go back, also.

Funny story.. My mom is the one that took me to the place that did the basketball player on my back..
One of my aunts also goes there now... Now that she has passed, my aunts and my grandma are going to get memorial tattoos...
They were going to the #!%%%% place until they saw the work I got there, compared to what I got at the new place..
Minds were changed..
THANK GOD!




EDIT: It was inspired by this riding jacket of hers..
