My new biking-related tattoo
- Thread starter kghoscht
- Start date
thats pretty sweet. are you gonna fill the rest ofthe square with anything?
looks cool, but my first reaction was "he did that with permanent marker"
Nope, I designed it around the blank space.lovebunny said:
Heh, yeah, it does have that Sharpie look. At the time the picture was taken, that's not even 24hrs old. It looks somewhat less Sharpie-esque in person.mcA896 said:

Nice tat, man. The GF and I love tattoos. We hit the conventions and such every year. I like the black work. Color is cool, but I have always been a fan of black. Nice shading there on the frame part. Very nice 
- The tat looks like a sharpie because it's new. The skin is still very irritated.
- It won't become an indestinguishable blob if the artist is good, and quality inks were used. yes, he'll have to go in from time to time for touch ups, and the edges will lose their sharpness, but I have seen 25 year old tats that look great. Maybe not as sharp as when new, but definetly not an "indestinguishable blob". Good artist, good ink, and maintenance will keep your tat looking good for a long time.
Edit: Mack, you're not looking at getting a misspelled tattoo are you?

I try to follow the common sense rule: if it irritates my skin, I shouldn't be doing it.............Ciaran said:

I guess I should clarify... I love tattoos on OTHER people. I actually don't have any. The GF is another story...
Actually, I have to modfiy my statement. Because spicy $hit obviously irritates my body, but I :heart: that stuff.Ciaran said:Stop following my posts... you're making too much sense!

I think it's more like a poor attempt at saying "Dude! Bike! Cool..........."stinkyboy said:
Or maybe he just wanted a tatoo and couldn't think of anything else to get.

Jeez. It's open to interpretation, not for you to decree whether it's a "good" design. Feel free to express an opinion but your statement sounds more like an attempted statement of fact.stinkyboy said:
I think it's pretty cool, definitely different. I see it as kind of window into what's inside, at least part of which is about bikes and always will be.
I couldn't agree more. And, as a person that has several tattoos, I dig it.OGRipper said:

Dillhole.
that doesn't make you some authority on what is good. besides, you might be a mediocre graphic designer, and why would we want to listen to you then? :nuts:stinkyboy said:
ink: but at least you like macs, so there's one point in your favor... heh
And I thought Burley Surley was "Mr. No Middle Ground". Geez man. (unless you're just trolling, in which case you are doing a fine job). I can't even begin to express what kind of a dillhole it takes to say something like that. It's not a graphic design that you sell to a magazine. It's art, which is subjective.stinkyboy said:
Thanks to the narcissism of designers, the word "design" has obtained negative connotations. The natural reaction to such a situation is a rejection of design. The interest of designers moves from a demonstration of their capabilities and possibilities offered by contemporary technology, to the attempt to return to the essence of design and express it in a simpler way. The public need clear messages and not the complex messages from designer virtuosos. After a lengthy design feast, the time of sobering up and coming back to the rudiments has arrived. We could define a purism and a rejection of design as yet another style of the 1990s; similar trends can be seen in fashion, interior design and architecture, however the return to the basics of design is merely a reaction to overcomplicated design and an attempt to return to the foundations of design on which it is possible to begin working.
At least post the link from where you cut that little blurb. Unless your name is Peter Bilak, of course. http://www.peterb.sk/readings/overdesign.htmlstinkyboy said:
Edit:
I don't really see how graphic design would have anything to do with a tattoo anyways. I see graphic design as something that has specific meaning and is designed to catch your attention. Art (tattoos), on the other hand, is open for interpretation.
Graphic design: Graphics design is the creation of visual media, usually for marketing. Business cards, logos, publications, brochures, postcards or mailings, invoices, and books are all products of graphics design. From: http://graphicdesign.about.com/cs/designtips/a/graphicdesign.htm
In any case, judging from your first post in this thread, you sound like you're simply close-minded about tattoos. If it was some lame-o tat off the wall of the shop, then a :nuts: would be in order, but I think its pretty cool.

good thing it hasn't gone to your head.stinkyboy said:
even if you were some ****in' design genius, living in switzerland, sipping your fruity ass cosmo, with a 12 year old thai boy-sex slave, sucking your cock while rubbing your taint......why would you say that out loud?
prick.
