Tattoo Question?
 
Hey,

I am thinking of getting a music related tattoo? I looking to get ideas for it. Does anyone know any good reference websites to looks at images to help generate more ideas?

I leaning towards the direction of something incorporating the fender logo and then some sort of bad ass image. Fender has some cool stuff on it's page. Here are some examples of intial styles.

It seems like a good choice b/c since I play music, own a few fenders of my own (amp, jaguar, jazz bass, pbass - which i all love), and seems like something I would never tire about.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Any of your friends good artists? Have them draw something for you, it's much more personal. You pay a bit extra, but it's worth it.

You bet!

Granted, I had no idea Mr. Mould was fag at that time.

HaydenAsche 04.11.2006 04:56 PM

That's cool. Are you appearing in the new film Huskers On A [Mother Fucking} Plane?

I knew the second I posted some smart arse was gonna say that or similar. It will go on my dick. Next!

noumenal 04.11.2006 05:35 PM

Me = some smart arse

Glice 04.11.2006 05:41 PM

Yeah, don't worry, I would've done the same. I would've done it with a little more panache, but then I do have an enormous penis.

noumenal 04.11.2006 05:46 PM

Did you say ganache? I need to lay off the chocolate...

Glice 04.11.2006 06:06 PM

Did you just say Ganesh? I need to lay off the Hinduism.

Savage Clone 04.11.2006 06:23 PM

Great tat...

Inhuman 04.12.2006 12:07 PM

I remember on the old board somebody posted a sonic youth tattoo that was his whole back, it was amazing

terminal pharmacy 04.12.2006 06:22 PM

mmm Don't get a fender logo unless fender are going to pay you for the advertising, get something that has something personally involved.

truncated 04.12.2006 06:45 PM

How long did that take, Kegmama? It's beautiful. I bet that itches like a motherfucker!

darthblav 04.13.2006 11:56 AM

That is a really cool tattoo!

I am still mulling the fender thing over. The Fender logo is a spring board that has helped to narrow done what I want. I do already have a tattoo, but it has been awhile since something jumped out of me. A few of the images have started the process.

When I find the perfect one, I want to get a tatto on my hand.
My dad said it'd hurt like hell.

Savage Clone 04.13.2006 05:36 PM

It doesn't hurt that much. Once the outline is done you're kinda numb and pumped full of endorphines.
Piercing is way more intense, I think.
This one took 3 hours. I drew the design with a compass and a protractor.
 

Glice 04.13.2006 05:48 PM

Less than piercing? Well, that makes a tattoo so much more appealing. Piercings don't hurt at all. I've done a fair few to myself as well over the years.

Anyone got any of those piercings that go right under the skin... You know, like on the flesh of the arms...

Just be sure to find a reputable tattoo artist.

I went to a guy I didn't know for one on my back, and he ended up going too deep, and scarring me. When I got it redone it hurt like a motherfucker.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 04.13.2006 06:23 PM

My dad and some pals of his are starting up a bike shop and theres going to be a tatto artist there. I'd prob. go to him or a pretty famous guy around here, the caveman.

Wow, that's beautiful!
