So, if you’ve read any of my previous posts, you’ll know I’ll be getting my first tattoo this July by Jesse Rix (Secret Lake Tattoo in Keene, NH). If not, well now you know. 🙂 I think I’ve decided which idea I’d like to get his July. I’ll be getting it on the outside of my right calf.
It would only be a single skeleton-tree (I don’t want two or a child one) and of course, we will alter it and make it my own. I want the roots to go down over my ankle and onto my foot and the artist will be able to choose how big he wants to make it as long as it doesn’t go higher than my knee. I think I’ll want the tree to be a bit more filled out and not so thin but I’m open minded. I think I’ll want to add a touch of color somewhere, although I’m not certain where. Thoughts? On the idea in general or maybe where I could put color? Thanks! 🙂
I love your idea. I think it will be really cool! Color could go just about anywhere, but would probably be pretty to add a splash of color somewhere in the tree or perhaps down around the root area. Your artist will have ideas on where color will look best. There’s nothing wrong with putting a splash of color on the skeleton either. It really is just a preference. Definitely talk to your artist. I am getting a tattoo on Saturday and we have discussed where color might look nice, but I haven’t decided if I will have a splash of color or not. Good luck and can’t wait to see it! 🙂
I’ve been toying with the idea of having a deep emerald tint on the very tips of the branches. I’ve decided to make the tree have a really spooky feel and want the tree to be a gnarly weeping willow. I’m also probably going to have some skeleton bat wings on it as well and some bats hanging or flying from the tree branches. I just set the appointment for August 3rd. I cannot wait. I’m lucky since he was already booking way into August but fit me in since I was moving. It’ll be a full day sitting. 🙂
