    Tattoos

    Well I guess this goes in with personal style. I know some of you have some ink done so I thought it would be cool to get a thread specifically for everyone's artwork.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Here's some pics I have of mine (not the best pics).</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> My right arm is all polynesian/samoan art with my Initials mixed in on the inside of my arm. My left arm is Maori design ( I designed most of it). Next one should be coming soon on my left side. It's going to be a memorial for my late Father.</DIV>

    i've got a hawk on my left forearm... no camera so no pics unfortunately.

      Re: Tattoos

      Cas, the tattoos are looking great. I've wanted something similar to what you have for a long time. Perhaps a bit of a different design, but I would love some sleeves or half sleeves. The thing holding me back is not knowing what job I'll be having in the future.

        Re: Tattoos

        I've been thinking of getting a huge tattoo on my whole torso (front) for a few year now. I'm taking some apointements to see how it could work out since my design is fairly weird, but as simple as it gets, and makes most people laugh... I'm still not 100% sure, but I have a feeling it's just a matter of time before I get it done.

            Re: Tattoos

            Thanks guys. I do want to get my whole right arm done down to my wrist but I wont do that untill I figure out what I am going to do for the rest of my life. If I'm going to own or run my own company, you can be sure it's getting done! Only thing is too is I am going to wait till I go back to Tahiti to get the work done.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Damn tattoos are addicting though. Ever since I got my first when I was 17 I have gotten one almost every year (mostly adding onto my right arm).</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I'll get some better pictures today and put 'em up here.</DIV>

                      That is awesome work, it looks identical to the print. Very cool piece.

                        Wow... Very, very cool. I LOVE Baskin! I never hear people talking about him in my little artworld. I have been thinking for a while about getting a bird tattoo based on one of his woodcuts, just haven't found the right one. Great piece.

                          thanks for the kind words, choosing a baskin piece for a tattoo is tough because ultimately you are limited by the tattoo, and as I am sure you know this is one of his less complexed designs. I choose this one in particular for the strong imagery of a power animal falling or tripping over itself.

                            Amazing tattoo--reminds me of a cave painting.
                            ...I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable.

                              Just got my third tattoo last night, the design I made and sketched myself. Inking by Eli Quinters, definitely one of the best tattoo artist in NYC. He inked me directly from his studio/livespace. A more relaxed experienced, as opposed to being tattooed at a shop. My other tattoos are from NY Adorned. I will find a good photo of those soon. Since I know I would be needing good care for more inks to come, I purchased these:
