TrixieFaux Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I was planning a girl faun tattoo with panpipes on either shoulder/arm or inner calf but I've just found out I'm pregnant! Guess I'll be waiting a while before I can have any more done. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delicious Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Wow very cool @jitterbug! Hope all is well and that your baby is healthy - - - Updated - - - I was planning a girl faun tattoo with panpipes on either shoulder/arm or inner calf but I've just found out I'm pregnant! Guess I'll be waiting a while before I can have any more done. also I just realized, you have medusa and athena on each calf... you should totally get a atalanta or an arachne tattoo. Both include cool animals like your other two. (Though you'll have to wait until the baby comes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer9019 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Well I finally get to post in here about getting a new tattoo, not just getting the same one worked on (damn it's almost been a year!!). Just signed up with Matt from Invisible to get a demon on my knee. Pleadco, Duffa, SStu and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill have tattoo envy though haha Love those ideas Delicious. Have thought about incorporating a greek temple into the Medusa tat and other Greek myths like Pandora's box but will have to shelve these for a while Delicious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have thought about incorporating a greek temple into the Medusa tat and other Greek myths like Pandora's box but will have to shelve these for a while Pandora opening her box would be cool... I just keep picturing a red head atalanta with the golden apples wearing a bear skin. gotta love her. Or arachne half woman and half spider. it would be the height of irony to put her on the same leg as athena lol. Either way I love your ideas, grew up reading the greek myths, the ones with the girls were my favorite. Especially Eros and Psyche, and Echo and Narcissus. jitterbug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I am quickly moving into the "living vicariously" phase of collecting: i just got my wife an appointment with Paul Dobleman (as a gift for her getting her PhD) and also told her to book with Capilli Tupou, who will be in SF for a guest spot in September. We went over what would be great to get from Capilli, and she heard back yesterday. I'm super excited for her, and at least these are tattoos I'll get to look at every day. slayer9019 and Johannes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Flores Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 two kneecaps and one foot are what I have left to collect. some other tiny spots, but those are the only decent spots I have. My Last spot on my upper Leg is going to Matt Arriola in a couple weeks. I just found out about someone guest spotting in my city in August and don't think I can pass it up, now to figure out if I want to do a kneecap or a foot.

hogg Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 now to figure out if I want to do a kneecap or a foot.

hogg Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 To be honest, I was terrified of the knee, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Parts were really awful, though. And you already know how bad the feet are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you already know how bad the feet are. As much as getting tattooed hurts, I feel like it's the easy part. I am more worried about my knee being 3 times the size and trying to work or chase around my toddler. Oh well #lstproblems else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did both feet the same day so that I could be mostly barefoot for the three next days. And yeah, total #lstproblems. :) else 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowagirl Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 hahahaha ohhh I never thought about trying to hobble around after doing the knees-I think we should video tape ourselves after having parts of the legs done and then laugh at each other. I made all kinds of silly noises after my feet, a lot of oooo and ho ho ho when I'd try to step. After our son was born I had surgery to fix my umbilical hernia so wasn't walking very well. Every time I'd try to walk around my husband would whistle this and say "the man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed". We could get some good after tattoo videos w/sound effects based upon personal research haha. jitterbug, hogg and Delicious 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iowagirl Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 haha try being the one it's aimed at tho holy hell. I'd have to stop and gently lower myself to the ground b/c it hurt so horribly to laugh. You'd think he'd tire of being called a m'f'er but it only seemed to fuel his amusement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Me and @Pugilist are moving in a month but before we do that we're going to stop in at the shop around the corner and pick something rad off the wall. We're considering what @JeffK did with his lady and choose something for each other but I'm not sure there's enough trust in our marriage for that.

oldfartart Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I've got an appointment scheduled at my local shop on the 22nd this month. I'm already all geeked up and excited. I told my artist to come up with something cool Yoda inspired for my upper right arm. I can't wait to see what he comes up with. Upon finding out, my wife asked why on Earth I would get another Star Wars tattoo when I already have a Darth Vader one. I told her, "Duh, I have Vader, but I need Yoda to balance out the force." She just rolls her eyes. ;) Graeme, Pleadco, beez and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnawa Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 On July 2, Vinny Romanelli at Red Rocket, NYC is giving me my first portrait. To celebrate 10 years teaching high school English, I'm getting Edgar Allen Poe's cadaverous face on my calf. Rather than keep it too simple, Vinny's going to have the image of Poe forming from a flock of black birds flying up my leg. I'll eventually add text, but I'm torn between lines from "The Cask of Amontillado" or "Masque of the Red Death." English teacher problems...

tacitapproval Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 @Gnawa, I've always been partial to: “There was much of the beautiful, much of the wanton, much of the bizarre, something of the terrible, and not a little of that which might have excited disgust.” Might be too much text though.
