Good idea, I don’t think you should get one either.
I’ll have to check with my doctor, but maybe there’s some sort of antibiotic or something you can take that keeps the asshole attitude from getting in your system whenever you get a tattoo. I’ll let you know what I find out but it may be too late for you anyways.
People are just giving you honest opinions dude.
1) I thought about making the joker have a small tiger standing up as if it were a person with a little jokers hat on his head. Then at the top, instead of flames, having a tiger crouched down as if it were stalking prey with it’s mouth open. Then at the bottom in the scroll writing “Clemson University”.
2) The other version would be to keep the same bottom part with “Clemson University” in the scroll, but rather than having the tiger on top, it would be tearing through the cards, lunging out towards the viewer.
The tattoo shops that I went to didn’t even attempt to draw it (acted like they didn’t comprehend it) mainly because they don’t draw unless you’re planning on getting your tattoo there. And the closest place that I would even consider getting one is an hour away, and I’m not making that drive just for a drawing.
How about having the Clemson tiger playing cards. In card games where cards have a number value most of the time the jack is worth 10 you could use that.
And to be honest with you an hours drive for a quality tattoo really is not that big deal. Many of us have gone across country or to other countries for a tattoo. So saying you don’t want to drive an hour for a drawing sounds pretty silly to us here. maybe you can email the artist with your idea.
I think your first step is to find the artist you want to do it, Then contact him via the phone, email or in person and bounce some ideas off of him.
But on your idea lose the scroll I don’t think you need it if you have a tiger. Or just have a paw print on the cards.
Good luck
Ask your doctor if he can give you something for stupidity while you’re there.
Unless you’re planning on this to be pretty damn big I think you’re trying to fit too much into this one tattoo. Maybe that’s why the other artists didn’t want to work with you…or it’s your attitude. Don’t worry about the tattoo turning you into an asshole, it sounds like you’ve got a good head start on that already. Just because you’re not getting the response you wanted you start calling names? The advise you’ve been given is accurate, an artist isn’t going to do a free drawing for you to then go get tattooed somewhere else. If you don’t like the original sketch the artist will work with you to tweak it to what you want, assuming it can be translated into a tattoo (which not all concepts in your mind can be). If you find a good artist, listen to them if they say it can’t be done properly. Pay for a deposit and work with the artist on a sketch that will work for both of you and then get the damn tattoo from the artist who did the drawing…that’s how it works. If you can’t accept the fact that this is how tattoos are created and paid for then you definitely are not ready to get this or any other tattoo. Good luck.
Thanks, I figured what the hell I’ll start writing. Although I’m sure I’ll now be called an asshole too, but that’s ok because I’m proud to be one. I still use an old George Carlin line…”I’m an asshole, well meaning but still an asshole.” So I’ve been considered a “well-meaning asshole” for many years and I’m damn proud of it!
Clem my worthless advise that you will ignore is have some reference material when you go to the shop then look at the Artist’s portfolio when you find one you think will get you’re concept PAY him to draw you up a Tattoo if you like it great if not you can give him feedback on it and if that doesn’t work be glad you only spent 50 bucks or so not 500 on something you hate.
