Tattoo Request

Like I mentioned in another thread I am looking to get a tattoo to cover a small scar on my left shoulder. I want a rose, but since it is a somewhat cliche thing to get I was wondering if any of the artists in here would like to draw something for me. I can't draw at all so it would be hard to show the guy what I want. I want it to start from the top of my shoulder and cover the top third of my arm or extend down to the middle. I also don't like color in tattoos. Here are some I like:

Are you looking for something simple, cute, elegant, cartoony, detailed, realistic, stylized, etc.? Also, if it starts at the shoulder and works down, does that mean you want the rose itself on the shoulder with the stem reaching down? Are you opposed to having it inverted? Single stem rose, more than one?

There's a lot of different options you could go with. I'm more the cartoony, simple, cute sort of artist, but the least I could do is give a crack at it, even if it just helps you get a better idea of what you want, or gives me a chance to break from all the cutesy critters I've been doing for work.

Not meaning to hijack but I'm also in need of some tattoo help.

I've been working on a piece on my left arm representing the Tokyo firebombings of World War II. Right now I have a B-29 Bomber and if I get this job in September I'm planning on adding two smaller ones to show perspective and a few bombs. What I need are burning pogodas. Black and white with only color in the fire.

Can someone help with this? It would have to go around my arm around the elbow and possibly forearm.

Got a pic of what you've already got?

The large plane in the middle of the pic. Getting the other two just like it but smaller later.

Pic of the arm?

That's going to be hard to do. I've tried doing it before but it always comes out shakey and shit.

Timer plus table equals great success.

Will you actually draw it or are you just curious how it looks?

I'm tryin' to suss out what'd I'd be working with if I did.

Here's what I could get.

Yeah, I want the rosebud on my shoulder with the stem reaching down. I would like to see what you can come up with if you still want to try it!

I knew Yellerdog wasn't going to do anything.

Eat shit, I was up working on a deadline last night til 3am. Get paid or draw a hut on some dude's elbow.


If I do it for you, it'll be this weekend.

<3's. Patience, tattoo'll last.

Can I ask the significance of the firebombings to you?

When gooks die, we all win.

Lol. Fair enough.

I have planes too. Hey Razor... want to be buddies?

No.

Thank god.

It was a close one. I almost had a 30-year-old 15-year-old as a buddy.

So what's going on?

I had soup nutz, so I took a shower. You?

I knew Yeller wasn't going to do it.

You were right! Pushy motherfuckers don't get free shit. Actually, still busy with freelance for the foreseeable future. Sorry man.

Boo.

I'm curious Animegirl. Have you gotten a tattoo yet?

Sorry this is late (work's been crazy) but I jotted down a few ideas for this tatoo right quick. One's kinda graphic, another more realitic, and another kinda cartoony.

Just a way of picking a few general directions, seeing which works best, and then refining it to be perfect.

The one on the right imo.

The middle one is so sharp and pointy.

I like the one on the right as well!

Sorry for the time it's taking between these posts, but I gave a crack at expanding the right visual to include more or less detail, different shapes for the flower, and some additions of leaves to see how it would all look. Just done on my lunch and I wish I had more time to put toward it, but maybe this will help you out if you're still looking for some direction on the tattoo.

The first sketch you did is still the best one.

I agree.

No one wants to see Nips on fire, apparently.

I like the one in the very center. I actually was thinking about getting it on the inside of my left forearm.

It looks like its whistling.

I always wanted to get a tatoo of something to remember my mother on my ankle or back of shoulder, I don't have any tatoo and what something small...

Any suggestions?

Something to do with laughter, she always farted when she laughed.

You want of picture of your mother and I together? It'll get alot of laughs.

It might but people will be like, "Who the fuck is that Mexican with your mom? your mom hates Mexicans".

Funny, she loved a burrito stuffed down her thrat if I remember correctly.

She never told me about the burrito. <sighs>

Pobrecita.

Nobody is going to help you out if you act like a prissy bitch about it, Razor.

If you're not going to do it, arjue, then get the fuck out.
