Hey guys, I’m working on a new tattoo these days, here’s what I’ve got so far.

I could really use a lil help here, any ideas would be great.
I’m looking for something to add to the tattoo.
It’s pretty obvious but, it’s a pic of a torn flesh[pentagram shape actually], theres a cute BC Rich Beast guitar peeking out and an old school mic.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, Danny. 😀

Hey,
Sounds and looks like a cool idea, especially clean drawn by a professional artist. 😛
The pentagram is missing its bottom line though, so to say. I think it might look better if the mic is moved more upwards, as the top left corner seems a bit empty. So maybe moving it up and adding a pole to it aswell?

Thanks mate, that sounds awesome!
I know the pent is missing a line, it’s inspired by Slayer’s logo^^
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hehe… Okay, makes sense then… 😛
And yes, it does look better know… If you want to stay in the music theme you could have some notes coming from the guitar, but I don’t think there should be too much more on it, it’ll just make it too crowded…

I want it to be kind of a hardcore music theme, I just can’t see notes there. Hehe
I might add some tribals coming out to keep my tribal theme[all my tats are tribals so far lol]

Hehe… No, notes don’t really give the feel of hardcore music… :p But yeah, some tribal work to connect it to you’re other tats would probably look good…

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi

There are plenty of ways that the tattoo can be added to.

The first in keeping with the Slayer theme you could have a hexagramic or pentagramic circle with the runes or symbols surrounding it.

You could have a demon maw surrounding the whole tattoo or even this ‘tattooed’ on the tongue of a demon that has torn through your flesh.

You could have staples or nails tattooed as though they are peeling back the flesh.

Other thoughts are you could have demonic fingers grasping the neck of the guitar as it tears through.

Sherav, as always ur the saviour. Haha
I myself wanted to get a “demon” hand holding the guitar as in Tenacious D ^^ 😀

I just have no idea how would or should the hand look.
Ah and the nails idea, I don’t really get it. :0

Sorry for the double again, but here’s what I got so far.

Wasn’t sure which hand position should I choose for the mic.

I didn’t wanna get anything creepy, but this actually looks freakin’ sweet!!
[not on the paper that is… *rolling*]

Hi

By nails I mean you could have a tattoo as though some of the skin has been torn and the flaps are held back by staples of nails showing the exposed guitar and such beneath.

Depends how dark you want to go on theme really.

Personally I’d choose the hand that’s grasping the actual mic. Much meaner and inspired by heavy metal. I’ve seen metal ‘singers’ with those sorts of mic’s, holding them just like that and screaming into their own palms 🙂

Gave those pictures to my sweet tattoo artist today.
She’s gonna call me when it’s done. 😀
I can’t wait too see what will she come up with!!

The only drawback is… she’s not exactly a freak or something. xD
She wouldn’t make it look scary, only cool. Haha

What, and no freaks available near you? 😀

I actually find that the Icelandic tattoo scene has too many freaks and too few allround artists. The best guys all do amazingly dark, gothic and evil tats 🙂

I’ll trade you your sweet one.. maybe she can do my cartoon tattoo :p
