xcom Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 So Saturday I got asked if I I wanted to do a Geo/B&W Realism Portrait for this upcoming expo in SA. I jumped all over it, When I got the details I found that the portrait is of a woman, I still was ok with it... Well it turns out the wifey is not ok with me getting a woman portrait specially realism and on my thigh. So this AM I had to back out... I suspect the artist was some what suspicious because he did ask me... Are you ok with a woman portrait? Shit... I am ok, Is all good with me! BUT on the mist of discussing the plans for this week end we had the talk of the pieces I am getting up in SA... Than it hits.... Huge argument wish I quickly lost... Than I had to go back and think at one of the things I allways preach about... I am not the only one that is going to look at this for the rest of my life.... So is my wife... So I had to go back to rule number "If the wife is not happy, nobody is" This one was my fuck up... I feel horrible and depress. Not only because I didnt think about my wife but because I possibly fucked up a spot for my artist. I did told him that I am open for anything else just cant do a womans face... :( :( :( - - - Updated - - - Update: We are still a go. We change the subject matter, YAY!!!! bongsau, SeeSea and rufio 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6342-woman-portrait/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Ryan Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sick you were able to keep the spot and change the subject matter! realism, especially a face.. IMO should be something that you choose, not your artist.. even if you are good with having that work of art, it is a face that would be on you forever, and you did make that a promise to your wife to be with her forever too! xcom 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6342-woman-portrait/#findComment-116186 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pidjones Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Why not a portrait of her? Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6342-woman-portrait/#findComment-116295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcom Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Why not a portrait of her? You should know the answer. :D Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6342-woman-portrait/#findComment-116309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pidjones Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 My wife seemed kind of flattered by the cameo of her (of course, it was done from a 34 year old photo). I can kind of understand them not wanting their husband wearing a permanent likeness of some other woman - even if it is a random one. xcom and Beans 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6342-woman-portrait/#findComment-116310 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong my wife and I love each other very much. 13yrs in to our marriage (not counting our time before) and 3 kids... We both understand that things can happen. pidjones 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6342-woman-portrait/#findComment-116312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Sigh, my hubby just had a lovely portrait of a woman put right over his heart. Never considered a pic of me....Rat bastard.....At least with the placement and his um natural coat, She is the bearded lady. rufio, pidjones, xcom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6342-woman-portrait/#findComment-116313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongsau Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 My buddy (a tattooer) said there was a period where he used a Hillary Duff picture as a reference for every girl head tattoo he did, hilarious!
