I really won't start with the defending of myself since it's really not worth it with someone who thinks he's far superior already so I'll let you reign in your glory there and let your ego boast.

Secondly, copying someone else's ink? The tattoo that is featured on this guy and on David Beckham are all a little tweaked with the same basic meaning. If I like that design and see it on someone and there's no name and I did my own personalization to it, I'll get it if I want it.

And my own sense of originality? Are you the fucking idiot? You have a tattoo with a band name on you. That's real fucking original. Let me tell you, a Metallica tattoo? I've never seen that in my life. You must be the first to do that. Unless my knowledge isn't all there, I'm pretty sure you're probably not a part of the band, so that's kinda taking the idea of someone else too.

However, thanks to the guy that sent me links of some ideas to tweak the tattoo and some other drawings of good vs. evil. I actually do like some of the stuff I saw on those sites. Too bad you have people like knighthawk bashing users when they simply ask a fucking question. I'd like your input, which is why I posted this, but I can do without the name calling and the harshness. I'm sure you're big and tough and are going to reply calling me a cocky 16 year old so I'll let you do that too, and I won't be responding to you. Good luck in life though with that attitude. I'm sure your very well loved and give a lot of great advice elsewhere.

+1. Seems that tattoo noobs always go for what someone else already has.

Oh, you are so adorable! I could just eat you up with a spoon!

I mean, look at you! Taking the role of the victim, being set upon by the big mean internet bully, and never ONCE addressing anything I said! Then you bring in tangential issues, such as my Metallica tattoo, and represent it as if it's a boiler plate ninja star, or the cover to Ride the Lightning. Oh, you are going to be DANGEROUS in an argument once you grow up, oh yes you will!

*pinches cheek*


Bottom line, I'm sure that you'll get it if you want it, but it doesn't make you any less of a thief, or for that matter, a dick. Using someone else's ink as a jumping of point is valid--as I was told repeatedly in art school, all artists steal from one another. But copying it utterly is lazy and shows you don't take this seriously.

And the fact it's on David Bechham ain't helping your case. Celebrity worship is the absolute worst reason to do ANYTHING, much less get an amazingly mediocre piece of ink.

Question: since everyone in this thread agrees to me to one degree or another, don't you think I may have a point?

Just sayin.

Love. Peace. Metallica.

Never addressing anything you said? Half of what I said was me talking about what you said?

then....

such as my Metallica tattoo


You saying that closes the argument for me and I realize you completely made an ass of yourself. The mod is probably going to close this if you respond now and I'd rather this thread up, so be the big old mature guy that you seem to be and swallow your pride.

KH - behave yourself.
Kid - stop fuckin eggin him on...its just gonna irritate him more.... along with the rest of us.

In total ---- BOTH OF YOU CEASE & DESIST


Kid - use it as a jumping rock and make your own..... it will mean more to you that way. It's a decent image (altho I'm not to fond of it) but if that is what you want then go for it....it's YOUR body

I've already decided I'd like the body to be a bit more detailed and for there to be sunbeams coming out from all directions of the body. I'd also like the wings to be a bit bigger. Thanks for the realization that it's MY body though, you were one of the only one of the reasonable ones in this thread.
