You definitely have some great artists in that area of the state (here in Grand Rapids, I haven’t exactly been blown away). Hopefully you can manage to upload some pictures of your ink (mistake or not)–I’m sure we’d all be interested in seeing them. Enjoy your stay here!

You should always get the tattoo where you want to get the tattoo, doesn’t matter what anybody else will think about it. 🙂

It may not matter what anyone “thinks” about it, but there are still a lot of things to consider as to what the best placement would be (pain, canvas size, sun exposure, curvature, wear-and-tear,…[Read more]

You could also throw the word “tattoo” at the end of the search to see these elements already applied to a tattoo (not to rip-off as you said, but it helps to see what would work or wouldn’t work). If I’m not understanding what…[Read more]

The first thing I thought was that turned sideways, you could have text with a strike-through effect, and the current perpendicular line could be an I, for…[Read more]

I can’t wait to see what sort of colors are going to be incorporated into the rest of the piece!

The second one is pretty average to me. Nothing I particularly love, but nothing I particularly hate either. I do think the black shading…[Read more]

Are you planning on it being a color piece? Size?

So if you feel that it needs to be connected (which I can understand), then by all means, go for it–you shouldn’t have to look at your tattoo and feel there is something wrong with it ever.…[Read more]

There is nothing “gay” about any imagery/text that you plan to get if you don’t intend it to be “gay.” Your design is clearly meant to be a culmination of your beliefs, so much so that you want them permanently inked into your skin–if you think that…[Read more]

A million things could be done to cover that up. I’m sure we could help you along the way with deciding what aesthetically would be best for the cover-up, but it’s a little silly to draw you up a design without any insight as to…[Read more]

But regardless, a talented artist could cover-up a simple script fairly easily no matter what…[Read more]

@BananaBread I was definitely worried about it not being recognizable, but at the same time, it’s not one of the most iconic images of him. Someone doesn’t necessarily have to go “ooh, Batman!” upon first look, but as long as they don’t say “that looks nothing like him” then I’m fine. I’ve toyed around with several…[Read more]
