as for going to a tattoo artist and getting some flash like everybody else does, seriously, if you want a tattoo for those reasons, you will regret it.
designing your own tattoo is a very liberating experience, just dont rush into it. do lots of designs, make lots of revisions. talk to the tattoo artist, see what they think.
at the bare minimum it should be a 2 month process between first putting pencil to paper (or cursor to screen) and you getting the first stabs of ink into your skin.
think alot about placement also.
forearms can make pretty strong statements, and depending on who you are and what you do, can cause drama work wise etc.
in the end you might not regret the design, but the placement.you can always wear long sleeves if its a problem.. sucks in summer.
- You guys are full of shit. This time last year I bought 24 beers, sat down with my tattoo artist to draw, and the next morning we went to his studio.schjetne
- morning we went to his studio to get it done. Doesn't have to be an overthought decision always.schjetne
- @schjetne, agree. got a tattoo for my 30years birthday, decided to tattoo something while drunk tht night. next week I had it on my skin.dyspl
- I had it on my skin. It's just a tattoo, not a part of your CV, don't try to be clever everytime.dyspl
- not trying to be clever. I have friends with sleeves and while extremely talented, it does make it harderautoflavour
- doesnt have to be over thought at all. problem is you get people who dont think at all.autoflavour
- im sure stupid forehead guy also thought it was awesome at first.autoflavour
- ahahaha, true.
I'ts just to "I'm gonna put everything on my tattoo, and think every bit" which I think is bad.dyspl - bad.dyspl
- i think if you are designing it yourself, you need to have some cooling off period. hell, i dont even send jobs to printautoflavour
- without giving it a day or 2 to sink and feel right..autoflavour
