MagicGuy 0 #1 June 27, 2006 OK so, I applied to be on the TLC show Miami Ink to get a tattoo. I've gone through a few stages in the casting process and now the only thing that's keeping me from getting on is not having an exact idea of what I want for my tattoo. My original idea isn't going to work because it was an addition to a tattoo that's a work in progress. Artists don't want to add on to other artists' work. So now, I'm stuck. I want my tattoo to be magic related. Not magic like the card game, magic as in magicians, David Copperfield etc. The woman told me that most of the artists like to do old school work.. Americana, stuff like that. I am totally stuck.. if anyone has any (serious.. lol) ideas on what I could get, I would really appreciate it. Many thanks!!

How about Merlin - with his wand shooting stuff out making a sunset tracking dive his wizards hat could have closing pins and canopies instead of stars and moons.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 June 27, 2006 Having done some reading on your magician work, you should get some wings put on your back or something similar.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicGuy 0 #4 June 27, 2006 Merlin.. kind of more like a wizard than a magician. But cool idea! The wings would be awesome, but wings can be interpreted in many ways. Fairies, angels, birds.. none of which I want to be associated with. Nothing against angels, fairies or birds of course Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #5 June 27, 2006 Naw, its all on how you do the wings. My next tat has wings, but you can be sure that its not anything remotely close to being intrepted the wrong way. Pinochio with the strings cut but hovering in the air (with the strings starting to droop down) would be kinda cool--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

wmw999 2,589 #6 June 27, 2006 You could have a beautiful woman appearing out of a magician's hat. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #7 June 27, 2006 Quote You could have a beautiful woman appearing out of a magician's hat. Now that is a good idea! Or a rabbit pulling a magician out of a hat, if you want funny instead of frat-boy cool.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Jaden 0 #8 June 27, 2006 Sketch your own or... http://www.tattooartists.org/Gct36_Tattoo_Themes.asp Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicGuy 0 #9 June 27, 2006 Very cool ideas, guys. The Pinnochio thing is very interesting! For those who don't know, I invented this magic trick where you levitate off of the ground. Things floating and flying have always intrigued me. It's also the reason why I always wanted to skydive.. closest thing to flying that there is. So anything flying/levitation related is definitely a plus. Keep 'em coming! I know there are some really creative people on here. And thanks to those who have already responded.

What about two hands looking into a black container of some kind looking into a swirl of blue sky and with an otter and a chunk leaving the plane, or a couple of canopies in the air . . .I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
