HTGTH tattoo thread (questions, pics...)

[DarkFairy]

Awesome tats people! Here are some better pics of mine, I think I posted crappy webcam ones last year..

The rose I got from my dad when I turned 15 (couldn't get a good shot and I need to go back and color it, it's old!)





The dolphin I got when I was 19 I believe..



And the GN'R one I got last year, in May 


Intend to get many many more!

Looks as though it wasn't the cam that sucked, but the person holding it

I've been working with an idea with artist called Antti Vaaramaa for a year, mostly since he's been laz... buzy, the same on who did DarkFairys GNR-tattoo. Actually the guy was talking about a ritual suicide only half-jokingly when we talked.

antti.7am.fi his his website, some amazing work.

Anyway the guy had to blow of four guys and two girls he wouldn't tattoo anyhow because his buzy schedule so I was surprised that I finally got my time booked at date 22nd may.

I'm getting a tat of a woman being burned on pyre.

DarkFairy, care to tag along to photoshoot?

Nice!!

Did you just have an artist copy an axl picture or what? Pretty well done!

sure, what time is it?  I could show him mine at the same time and see if it needs to be colored / make an appointment

I had printed off a picture of the tattoo from Google, but the lady who did my tattoo said the picture wasn't clear enough, and she'd need a higher quality picture of the tattoo.

One of the guys who worked there ended up being a huge Gn'R fan who had several magazine covers and fold-out posters of Axl and the tattoo, so I ended up being able to get the ink done!

Thanks for the compliment Erose, I was very impressed myself

That looks good, it's refreshingly different than the usual star-tattoo designs

as requested...

I must say crow, those are some of THE BEST tattoo works I've ever seen.
I can't get over how detailed Cat Woman's eyes are!

Why are stars so popular among tattoo enthusiasts?

Why are stars so popular among tattoo enthusiasts?

Tattooists are sick of doing them, ive spent quite a bit of time in a studio and all they ever get is people wanting stars normally 3 of them down the forearm, so when i go in my tattooist loves it as i give him something a little different to work with



been on this for 25 hours now, still got another 5-6 hours left to complete

[F*ck Fear]

Here is mine. I posted it in the GN'R tatt thread in the Guns section, but I'll post it here too.
In this pic, it wasn't healed yet, since I took it the day after I had it done.

Why are stars so popular among tattoo enthusiasts?

I asked my tattoo dude this yesterday. He said that one day he was at home, watching MTV. Crazytown came on with "Butterfly", and the song was already quite popular by that time. The singer had two stars, one on each shoulder. He said to himself, "I bet you I get people coming in the studio now wanting stars". He told me that it took about a week before the first person came in, and since then, it's been near constant. He was amazed that the trend has held, but added that he thinks that people think that stars are so rock n roll.

So, going by what he said, I think he means that they are popular because they are popular, but that it all started because of that guy in Crazytown.

I got it done.

[dont_damn_me]

I would be gettting the GNR 2006 tour logo done tonight...but the one i want was from the video that was on youtube for the Shaklers video. It was titled "For the Real Fans" had tour pics and this cool logo near the end of the song.

Logo was a big star with red rays comming off it.  If someone could help me out, would be much appreciated. I've looked all over the net tonight but can't find a pic of it anywhere.  of coures its taken off youtube the wk before i most needed to see it!

it'd be cool to get a tattoo like the afd cross, but with all real members of the band.  i hope that there's a design like that in the new album somewhere.
