Hey I went into a shop today to present this idea I’ve had for a tattoo. The artist that I liked was immediately turned off by the idea, saying the black circle outline would look like it was done in a garage since it’s uneven, among other things.
He also went on about logos, but this means more to me than just the Bad Religion band logo. I wasn’t sure if he disliked it for its insensitivity, or for its design. So I wanted to get some second opinions here. What do you think? Could this be turned into a good looking tattoo?
If that is the case I believe you could have a well done looking tattoo.
You should be able to find an artist that will tattoo this symbol on you, I really don’t see anything offensive about it.
Maybe change up the color in the background, I think it will translate to a tattoo a little bit better that way.
It’s not supposed to be blood… it’s spray paint. But that brings up a good point that I should change the color then to avoid further confusion.
As for the meaning, it really doesn’t directly have to do with religion. It represents freedom of thought and for everyone to think for themselves. Personal integrity, and for others to not define someone’s morals.
I don’t claim to be an artist and I’m sure it could be better. I’ll welcome any ideas too.
Oh.. so it’s SUPPOSED to look like it’s been sprayed outside the lines. That makes sense, but I fear such a concept would always look unfinished or poorly executed :S
I’ve been trying to create a reasonable Stamp-like image for a year (off and on) now. I’ve found that the most difficult thing for a shmuck like me to create, is unevenness. No matter how hard I try, it always looks too cut and dry.. too fake.. too lame. I think pershaps this tattoo could suffer the same fate if you don’t beware.
My idea for is to come up with your own symbol of independence and freedom instead of borrowing this from a band. It’s interesting that you would pick this symbol, that looks like an attack on religious freedom to me, to represent your right to independent thought.
This is obviously just my opinion and Honestly, I don’t care either way. I’m as agnostic as they come so for me this just looks like a lazy way to express your independence to me. Why don’t you take some time and find something that really means what you are trying to say instead of copying someone else’s ideas.
