AverageJer Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 If you really want that quote I'd suggest embedding it in a stylized banner of some kind so it's not just standing words. Or, you could just get a dragon. a_beukeveld, polliwog, Ducky15568 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ligatortat Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 im here - im just looking for something simple to accentuate the small one that i got - im not a big tattoo person but im definitely a science geek and have been inspired by the idea of Carl Sagan that we are all made from exploding stars - i was considering just getting the words "star stuff" written on opposite sides of the atom - at least if ends up fading in the future it will be easy to go over and get something else - i am new to tattooing and just wanted some advice - the multiple posts were an accident - there are people on here that are incredibly nasty if you are not someone that wants a full on art deco masterpiece on your body - there are people that want simplicity but look to others for advice on small details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marley mission Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 @ligatortat don't fan the flames man if you dont like it here - take your advice and go otherwise - chill and move on there is plenty of good stuff to check out imo the interview section alone is worth the visit Devious6, a_beukeveld, oboogie and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious6 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Your own statement identifies the source of the conflict. You state "I'm not a big tattoo person." This is a tattoo forum - would you not expect to find people with passion and strong opinions? I only have one tattoo yet I have found this group to be nothing but helpful and informative. It's not about what you have or want, it's about how you interact with the group. In the end, your decision about your tattoo is just that...yours. Get what you want/like, not what someone else does. People here have given you their advice and suggestions. Go with what makes you happy. polliwog, oboogie and Kate1939 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I will say is that people are very opinionated about what makes a good tattoo and have limited patience for those who refuse to take good advice. Sometimes the best kind of tough love comes from strangers. Because we kind of but don't really give a shit what you do. Make sense?

bongsau Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 @ligatortat trying to accentuate a small sized tattoo with an afterthought never ends up with a great result. it will overshadow and take the eye away from your new atom tattoo. For your consideration...what about your opposite wrist? Something simple and classy like a small illustration of a ringed planet and a couple of stars/dots. A picture is worth a thousand words! You know all about "star stuff" when you look at the tattoo, sometimes less is more. Good luck and en joy your new tattoo.

ligatortat Posted September 2, 2016 Author Share Posted September 2, 2016 This would be the other option - i dont see a lot of text written down this way and i dont see it taking away from the atom - I will be doing the other wrist as well and will go up this forearm in the future - taking it slow at first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fala Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 @ligatortat Why don't you get a tattoo of a star exploding???? That would pretty well cover everything you want with it... You could get it elsewhere on your body - other arm, further up your arm, on your leg, etc. ligatortat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marley mission Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 @ligatortat oh ok - i mention this because people do get tattooed this way "its for me" but you shouldnt Fala, oboogie and ligatortat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJDeepFried Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Planet on other wrist would mirror nicely in a kind of micro macro way. Voting against the text which doesn't really make sense in that context unless you're quoting Bohr or something. +1 on a giant Sagan portrait which is clearly your best bet Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk oboogie, Devious6 and bongsau 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
