Do either of you (or any other tattoo artists here) have any great photos of coral snake tattoos?
I googled it, but found only one mediocre photo. If you do have any, I'd love to see it please. Thank you!
-
no sad to say i dont, i pretty much only do one of a kind tats, so if you were a client i would draw you one.
so thats what i would suggest to you, find a true artist, that tats, that way you can have your own tat and not one that oh so many people have, it is so much more satisfying to know NO one has your tat, look for that artist and put down some kind of deposit have them create your own.
trust me when i say this, its not very cool walking down the beach(or where ever you may be walking) and looking over and seeing some one else with your tat on them!!
i wish you the best in finding your ink.
on a side note the corral snake is a beautiful creature and would make a great tattoo.
-
Thank you! :aok
-
no problem.
if you seriously cant find what you want, i could draw you up one.
no i dont want cash.
-
That's far too generous! I actually would like the photo for something other than my own tattoo. So I can't ask you to take the time to draw it for me. I was just hoping to find a photo ready to display.
But after having seen the difficult time in finding a photo of that particular tattoo... if I ever get one, it will be that! I completely agree that it would make a beautiful tattoo. Wrapped around your waist would be nice... if there was ever a guarantee that the small coral snake wouldn't turn into a mammoth-sized python after 20 years, I'd consider that one!
-
LOL
your too funny
<S>
-
TxMom soon to be TatMom? ;)
Keep all of us up on the progress...
-
i want a tatoo that says 'Hello' on my butt....that would be funny.
-
My favorite tat story came from (of all places) the lecture hall. A guy who had been the city coroner for many years was talking about an autopsy they had done on a guy who had apparently lived a pretty rough life. What puzzled the coroner was a tattoo the guy had on his...ummmm....wee wee. For some reason or another, this guy got someone to put a tattoo green question mark on the shaft from bottom to top.
It wasn't until a couple days later that it hit him -- under....ummm... certain situations, physiologic changes would stretch that question mark into an exclamation point!

Brothers friend has small arms so he has the "Red Rider" BB Gun logo on the inside of his right arm, pretty funny but looks great.

your avatar made me think that you might appreciate that.
-
FOrgive me if im wrong, but i thought coral snakes were small in general and dont get very large, so one around your waist would be way out of proportion.
INk i gota ask justhow many "tazmainian Devil" tat's have you done?
If i was an ink slinger my number 1 rule would be.
"NOPE i dont and wont do tazmainian devil tattoos!"

thats funny you ask that, when i get people who ask for taz, my response is, "well i would rather cover a Taz."
i have turned away an uncountable amount of cash because of stupid tats like that.

OUCH! :eek:

OUCH! :eek:
so true it felt like i was being tattooed over my whole body at the same time, very extreme.
but so worth it!!
-
Ok, ill take your word for it but... :uhoh
:D
-
I liked what they said in the movie "The Wedding Crashers" upon seeing a tatoo on a womens behind. "It might as well be a target" :rofl :rofl

Wow. I am going to ask this because the opportunity has never before presented itself, nor do I believe it ever will again-and I am just curious. At the same time, I'll try to ask it in a way that won't get the SkuzzStik swinging.
OK, so when you bring the Corsair up on deck and it's ready for takeoff, you then begin your 'work'. In this case, I would think, vulching yourself on the flight deck. So doesn't that put the old warbird back on the hangar deck? Guess what I am asking is how you kept your plane flight-worthy through the process. Did you have flight crew assisting?

first let me say this is a great "metaphor"
ill try to use the same
when i was ready to paint the "plane" I got it all ready for flight, well once i started to "paint" the "plane" it decided it did not like being "painted" so it when back into the hanger,( i mean way worse than jumping into the ocean on a December day), so i forced the "plane" out of the hanger, held on to that corsair, and finished the "Painting".
i think if someone else's "plane" enjoys being "painted" they need serious psychiatric help.
to say that it was uncomfortable, is quit the understatement.
but like any "painting" its about overcoming the pain. oh and the "painting" took me an hour, felt like 20.
-

Not really. It wouldn't wrap around several times. You could start on one side low waist, wriggle it across & finish it up by the ribs on the other side. I think it would look nice, actually (on someone else, of course). But that was the whole point of the python remark. Once you add about 20 years, will look like a python.

oh my, that would be very extremely painful, rib cage is the worst!! that is NOT a beginner tat to get.

I'm getting a tatoo on my knuckles that either says my initials or "Self Made" And after that, a giant American Flag across my back. :)

and if you still want it when you're 18, have at er.
-
Generally there's a 6 month unwritten rule about tats, Angels. Think about it, and if you still want it in 6 months, go for it. I'd call myself patriotic but I wouldn't get a 'giant' anything, anywhere. But that's just me. I'm a sailor and I won't think about getting inked or pierced so...

Better man than I, sir! :aok But thanks for the answer, I had some idea of a bevy of maidens in your 'support staff' helping you. :D

Don't- you've said precious few lucid things on these forums. This is not one.
Finally, love how TxMom just blew past the whole metaphor thing we had going and answered up to the original thread like it never happened. Classic. <S> TxMoM

Texmom, try this website. As far as an online source for photos of tattoos this one is pretty hard to beat.
BMEInk - http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/bme-tatt.html (http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/bme-tatt.html)
This link will take you directly to the tattoo part of the website where there is typically nothing more offensive than some bad tattoos. Be warned, whilst my link only contains tattoos, the site also contains piercing and other body modification which some might find graphic. If you're weak of stomach stick to the link.
I don't think this is stepping over the line but if the moderators disagree, I apologise.

Doing some serious tongue biting on this one LMAO
You can thank me 20 years from now :lol

First I was going to say that your were either nuts., a masochist. or both...probably both
But after reading your followup I see your just a complete maniac.
As for people who might enjoy that.
They as most massochists are into it for the endorphine rush (endorphine junkies I call them) And just like any junkie. some need more then others LOL
Dont ask me how I know that. the subject wouldnt be nor should it be of a material that should be allowed here.
but lets just say Im not a massochist.
I just understand them LOL
-
Some people just have a different understanding of pain.
Some people faint at the sight of blood or are scared of needles..... Some people like to watch it all happen.
If your idea of pain is nothing serious then the ends justify the means in this case. It's not anything big or psychological, it's just a different attitude.
-
Thanks so much for the great link! After the first 75 images, you have to register as a subscriber ~ which I am going to do today. If they don't have the picture I'm looking for, they'll come pretty darn close. That site has lots! :) Thanks again!
Dred, my intention with the photo was never, at any point, for me to consider getting as a tattoo. I already know what 20 years does to one... and no thanks! :)

I'm getting a tatoo on my knuckles that either says my initials or "Self Made" And after that, a giant American Flag across my back. :)
i know you dont know me, but let me try to explain why you should NOT and i mean NOT do what you propose here.
when i was 18 i got my left hand tattooed, a cool looking skull ripping through the hand personally i love it, BUT it will effect you for as long as you live, if you have your knuckles done, for instance when i was 23 i heard of a job at a screen printing company they wanted an artist, so i bring my artwork in for them to have a look, know when i say i'm an artist i don't joke, i have been drawing my entire life and there is nothing i cant draw, but when this person who did my interview all she saw was my tattooed hand,she did not really look at my art, she did, but all that was in her sight was my tattooed hand, she ever so politely said "the job is filled"
this was the first of MANY discriminations against me! if you get this tat on your hand you seal your fate! try going into a Lamborghini dealership to sell cars HA they will laugh at you, most very high end jobs you will not be able to get, you will live to regret the decision's you make now, forever, i have been tattooing sinse 1988, trust me when i say this.
now for all you doubting mustafas, out there who know so many "artists"
now mind you i only have paintings and tattoos(and pics of the family) on this space, i wish i had my pencil drawings up but alas i don't, i have been painting for about 6 years, but drawing in pencil, my entire life. take a look at what i can do, and see for yourself. under the avatar is a link for pics, i have different albums one for tats one for paintings, bla bla bla, the avatar is a painting i did, its a self portrait, its actually the largest painting iv done so far its 4 by 6 (approx)
my point in all this is to impress upon you that i do know what im talking about (when it comes to this), and to stop you from making one of the worst decisions you can make! alright enough of me rambling.

Thanks for posting that up, I'll check it out when I get home-no myspace access here. You'd warn us if you had pics o' the ol' Corsair up there wouldn't ya? :D
Do you work out of a studio or have your own?

LOL ya there are no "bad" pics.
i recently left the shop that i built for these supposed "christens" but once the shop was up and running they proved to me all they cared about was making as much money as they could, and had absolutely no morels, so after two years of dealing with these people i couldn't take it any more and left.
so no im not in a shop, i do tat parties at a buddies house, i have some very loyal clients, that wont allow any one else to ink them, but i do wish i could open my own shop, but i don't see that ever happening.

Tats are a personal thing.
To each his own.
If you want a tat, give it quite a bit of thought as to just what you desire. Once you decide, go for it.
To hell with what anyone else`s opinions are. It is yours and your choice.
If someone has a problem with my tats then that`s a pretty good indicator for me that I wouldn`t waste my time with them. Opinions are like....
....well you get the picture. Some just stink more than others. :)
As far as tat artist goes, they are just like everyone else in any field. There are some good ones, some who totaly suck and some great ones.
Some can just about do any line of tat work and do. Some specialize. Know your artist and his work beforehand.
I met Lyle Tuttle in South Dakota at Sturgis few years back while I was getting a memorial tat for my Dad.
A down to earth guy that just happens to be an icon in the tat field.
I`ve met unheard of artists in some of the most backwoods, offtrack places that totaly R O C K E D.
I`ve seen artists in some of the most touted and glitter filled environments and shops that couldn`t tat Tweety Bird without screwing it up and vice versa .
Common sense goes a long way when choosing an artist.

I appreciated the link~ I wasn't able to subscribe ~ choice was either make a payment to the site... or post pictures of your own tattoos. I appreciate all of your comments! Instead of a picture of an awesome coral snake tattoo, I posted a boring 'ole photograph of the snake instead. Tattoo would have been far more awesome. Oh well, maybe next time. :aok

While we're on the subject, I've had this in mind for a couple of years. A back piece focusing on a Fw 190 D9 attached to Galland's JV 44 and a 109 G-10 or K over a German airfield at the end of the war.
I came across this and it is very similar to what I have in mind:
(http://www.brooksart.com/Ambush.jpg)
The trick is to find an artist who can do what I want without making it look cartoonish like it is in that painting.

have you checked out my tattoos and art ? in my sig is myspace where you can look at it if you haven't.
-
I haven't got access to a myspace account at the moment but from what's on your front page there is some outstanding work there.
Perhaps, some time in the future, I could email you with my ideas (which are not are not put onto paper or photoshop file clearly enough yet) and pay you to do the artwork?
Given that I live on the other side of the world I'll have a hard time actually getting to you but having the artwork would be a great place to start. I was really keen to have the artwork done by someone who knows about WWII aircraft and that is proving to be rather difficult.
I doubt that it will be any time soon, I'm still grappling with the decision as it will be my first tattoo. As far as the tattoo itself goes, it's probably the only thing I'll ever want and I'm no stranger to other forms of body mods, so I'm just concerned with actually having a tattoo. Scars fade, piercings can be removed but tattoos are for life and, as much as I know that I will never regret the subject of the tattoo, I may well end regretting getting a tattoo with so much coverage later in life.
-
Too bad you're not close to me ink, I need a tat redone that I had someone start last year and royally f'ed up. In the process of searching for a true artist (thought I had one last year).
Ink is also right. I have tats, but you can't see them when I am at work. As a manager and a tat wearer, it's not appropriate to on some jobs to have certain piercings or visible tats.
-
Ink, where are you located and what abouts do you charge? To start with, NO: I am not considering getting a tatoo myself, I hope to go into a career as a military officer, and in my oppinion, things like tatoos don't go very well with an Air Force O-club, (at least not in my experience). However, my girlfriend is considering getting a small, discreet tatoo, and you seem to do brilliant work.
-
thank-you guys truly,

i am located way up in Maine at this moment, about an hour from the Canadian border, as far as cost goes, you said " small discreet " so with that for reference, i would say less than $100, depending on detail, or if its on foot, feet cost at least $ 100, and if its crazy detail and small it could be as much as $200, but i would venture a guess that its her first, so im sure it wont be that detailed, the cheapest it would be is $60, for thats my min.

ya that is one thing that bugs me about how popular tatts have become, everyone wants to do them and most only think they can draw, now i am not saying you have to be able to draw to do tatts, but if you cant draw what happens when the stencil wears off ?
although i don't use stencils so i dont have to worry about that. :D

i have a client that wants me to do a p-40, her granddad flew them.
as far as pics go for your idea i dont need that, you can tell me what you want and i would do all the artwork.
time is not a concern, i will always have the myspace, nice easy way to get a hold of me, and as far as payment goes i don't charge all that much just for artwork.
again thank you guys your words do mean alot to me.

So you can do aircraft well? Yeah, it's her first, and it won't be too soon, (She's doing the year rule rather than the six-month rule) but she knows im a bird-brain and wants to get a plane. B-17 most likely since I love that bird almost as much (maybe more if she isn't in the room! lol) as her.

well i wont say i can tattoo any thing well, but i have heard it said to me, personally i don't think i tattoo very well, drawing is where i excel.
-
You rang? :) No, I haven't done any coral snake tattoos. But, tomorrow if I get the time I'll draw something up for ya and post it. See if you like it, if there are parts that you want changed let me know what you want changed. Since your an AH'er I won't charge you my $40 dollar deposit.
Reason I do that when I draw something up for a customer is, if they back out of it I at least got the $40 bucks so I didn't completely waste my time.
I will post it tomorrow, if not tomorrow I will have it up Wed.
