Pleasse no hate on tattoo's

But who wants to help medesogn mynew tattoo.
Its going on my right rib and this is what I was thinking

Since I run and It is prettymuch my life I wanted to get the "running foot" as pictured (not the run like hell part though"
Tattoo


and since I love winter and skiing is also my other passion I wanted to do something with snow, So I googledsnow flake and foud-

Tattoo




So What I was thinking Is getting the foot with snowflakes in the background. Its taking up my whole rib so its going to be big.

Any one want to help with the design, And since I cannot draw or photoshop for the life at me that is where NS comes in.


So thanks for the help

i finally sacked up on got my tat's started. Nothing anywhere near as complex as yours. Just words to remind me of what I love.

But yeh make sure it's something your gonna want for life. Think about it, your not gonna be running 20 years from now, and your gonna have some corpse foot with wings on your side.

this is a cool idea... but at the same time, what's the point of getting a tattoo that no one can see? haha

hey. i like this whole idea and where your coming from, but...i hate to say it but the foot looks kinda shitty at the angle its in. the whole skeleton foot isnt bad, but i think you should have some variation. like maybe show it at a diagonal angle instead of sideways.

yeah i'd have to agree with the general consensus here and say that the snowflakes and foot=really bad idea. but a running tattoo sounds cool. i don't know about skeleton, though.

most good shops will NOT do UV tattoos, they are still really new in the tattoo world and no one knows what they will do in 10yrs. UV ink is not passed by the FDA and there are a lot of chances it could cause cancer.

i would highly suggest against it.

Before you get a tatoo you should carry the picture of what you want around with you for like a year and if you get sick of it don't get the tattoo.

well since im not the artist i cant give you a 100% pure answer.  but he is fucking amazing i can tell you that much.  he is doing it piece by piece and drawing it on me which i think takes crazy skill.  why make an outline and lock down a tattoo when you can do it piece by piece and have new ideas while working on it. obviously clouds, snow, lightning is gonna be a part of it. he is gonna finish those with color next time.  then we will move on to the next peice.  i dont know what he will want to do but i leave it up to him.

the artwork of this is good, i like the idea a lot. but the actually tattooing could be improved sooo much!! from the look of the photo after i looked at the bigger one, the lines are so shaky!!

i ask because usually you do the full outline, then shadow, then color because if you mix that up the colors and blacks will end up not matching if you wait long periods between getting tattooed because tattoos change and faid with time and sun.
