thornton8000 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 How much is to much for bringing in pictures to make one tattoo? I ask since I don't, and my family doesn't have a picture of my fathers favorite car he used to own. I'm going to have it tattooed on my arm, I've found about 5 different pictures that pieced together in a drawing, that should make it close to what the car looked like. Reason it's harder is it was a custom classic car my father fixed up. It was a 1967 Pontiac bonneville convertible, had fins on the rear, custom paint job, and it was his "baby". To compliment the tattoo on the top of the arm, I'm trying to find and think of a classic pin up girl. (By arm I mean closest to my wrists) Thoughts accepted and more, Thanks everyone, Thornton8000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 That kind of depends on what your artist knows about the car and how he/she wants to frame it up, I'd think. I used to have a '66 Catalina. Great car, but I lost most of the pictures of it during Katrina. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petes67bird Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 There are alot of gearheads that do tattoos. I would bring in all your examples and discuss it with the artist. This is permanent so your artist should be willing to take the time to go over all of the details before starting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and between Bing images and Google images you should be able to come up a picture or two that's nearly identical. Nowadays nearly every make and model of car has its own dedicated forum, these are great for sourcing pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petes67bird Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I actually have a car tattoo and joined the forum because I think it looks out of place all alone. I either want to add to it or cover it up. I would add a picture but can't do so for a week Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
