I just ordered one of these, and as advertised, it is was easy and comfortable.
Yah, the only reason I didn’t think I’d do the pinup is because the tattoo would have to be big.
But I don’t mind if taking up my entire inner forarm if that will work.
Not sure about color vs grayscale though.
If I picked color, would the artist do it in black and white and color it in later?
Well, they do the line work first, then any shading, and then they color it in. If you wanted to get just the line work and the shading done that would be a good stopping point. You could always schedual another session when you decided on wether or not to fill it in with color or black ink. Also, if you’re going to keep the pin up you don’t have to do it all color or all black and grey. A black and grey 1 with a color pin up in front could really pop.
Looks like you’re getting to the part where you just need to hunt down an artist who’s portfolio makes your jaw drop. Just explain to them where you want to stop and why and they will be able to take care of you. Also he or she may be able to make additional suggestions to help you decide on just how you want it done. In my experience truly good tattoo artists are very creative types that can point out just the thing your looking for.
I do like that color work, it looks good. I’d say talk to him, take a look through his portfolio and if you still feel good about him book your appointment. Oh and I wouldn’t wait too long to start talking to him and any other artists you might be intested in considering (honestly it wouldn’t hurt to take a look at a few artists along the way) since my tattoo artist is usually booked solid for about a month out. Trust me, waiting for a tattoo hurts worse then actually getting it.
Well I took the pinup logo sticker to an artist today.
He said the pinup girl would need to be probably twice the size to get enough detail in.
He had a pinup on his arm and showed me how the detail was, but it was pretty big.
I think I’m going to get the other logo done instead.
The black and white HD #1 with the crown on it.
I found an example of a similar logo on someones forearm and I think it looks great.
I won’t have the dark custom below and I’ll put the crooked crown on it.
Going back tomorrow and I’m gonna get it done on my inner forearm.
Thanks everyone for your help.
If you have any feedback on my idea, please let me know.
In my earlier post I showed the logo I’ll be using.
