Tonto 1 #2 April 20, 2004 I'd wait till I had more dives before I permanently marked my body with something I may not be doing next year. But that's just me. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alanab 0 #3 April 20, 2004 man thats really a sweet idea! its kinda close to the one i will be getting soon:) but i like #3 the best. maybe even without wings though? i think your upper arm is a great place for it too! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weegegirl 2 #7 April 20, 2004 oh, ok. well, in that case... i think i like #1 the best for a guy.

I think it would look great on a upper arm. I have a tat on my right lower leg, it is actually a photo of me under canopy on a sunset jump. I've had alot of people tell me it looks like the Elsinore logo, but I know who it is & what it means to me! It was my first jump back after a bad injury, "Learning to Fly Again".. Let us know which one you decide on! Blue Skies!

Wait til the novelty wears off, and see if you still want it a ways down the road. Ink is a serious thing, so take your time. There's no reason to rush. I absolutely agree here. Whenever someone asks me about a tattoo (I have a few) I tell them this; Once you have decided on a design and where you want it, wait for one year. If after a year you still want that tattoo in that place then do so. Tattoos are funny things. If you get a design spur of the moment in a conspicous or cheesy spot, chances are in a few years you won't like it and will either be shelling out big bucks to cover it up or bigger bucks removing it. Secondly research your artist. Check out their work and find out how their work holds up over time. Especially if you do bright colors. Nothing worse than a great design fucked up by an average tattooist. This is a bigger deal than buying a car or even a home. This is PERMANENT. Even the best removal and cover-ups can leave traces behind. A year gives you tons of time to talk about the design, allow it to evolve with artistic input and find an artist you are happy with. And you do get what you pay for. I know this from experience. I have three I got that way and two are now covered abd the third soon will be. The cover up designs however were ones I thought about and talked about for almost two years. Today I still love my dragon (He's been with me for almost five years now) though he needs some touching up since I let him get too much sun. But I will never be unhappy with him because I was patient and made absolutely sure I wanted it done and who I wanted it done by.
