Doner Kebab

had a cancellation at work the other day so what better use of my time than :

ill get a bit of yellow in next week or when my missus can be bothered

seren nos

it looks really good image........can't wait to see it with yellow ............

i am still convinced that any tattoo I have would blister or get infected and take years to heal......

The Silent Assassin

What part of the country you DK?

have looked at getting that tat myself but local studios have said it wouldn't come out so good

FerrousFerret

That really does look good.  <slopes off for a ponder>

SteadyCJ

Oh, can't stop sneeking a peek at the tat and the leg.

I would like a follow up piccie when the hairs grow back to see if I still like it. Great artwork.

Good job!

I've got as far as visiting a tattoo place to have a look round and a chat.

You perv!

Nice one
I have the skull & bones with my IM Tat

Doner Kebab

thnx for all the nice coments

Silent - im near Boston - Lincolnshire, not the US unfortunately.

i dont know what im going to do with it now  - maybe a skin rip - (looks like the skin has been ripped off with the pirate symbol underneath)

i did post somewhere that ill probably give a couple of people free Outlaw tats whose times are closest to mine - assuming i finish   lol

Doner Kebab

btw   silent - if a studio says it wouldnt come out right, it says more about the studio than the artwork

DK they said the teeth would be hard to do and couldn't guarantee results

can I PM you about having something done

Doner Kebab

of course  np

but yea the teeth are a bit hit and miss but i managed to do this on myself with my leg bent up on a chair - thats why im thinking of letting the missus shade a bit of yellow round it - it was uncomfortable after 5 minutes, but then again she aint a tattooist

I am not really a tat man but that is top quality.  Hard to believe you did it to yourself which can hardly be ideal.  Kudos!

M,oFo

You did that yourself ? That's pretty smart.

 I got one after the Vitruvian, and I'm hoping to add an Outlaw tattoo next year...

I'm not a Tat person either, but that is good!
'Numpty question'. Will the lines remain as sharp when you're 70 years old?

Cortina5

When he's 70 his eyesight will be so shot he won't care!

Doner Kebab

no  the lines wont stay that sharp - as with any tattoo its going to bleed out a certain amount over the years - but ..... it will last till you are 70 if you are 65 now     i never regretted any of the tattoos i got - someone said - you shouldnt regret the things you have done, only the things you didnt.  I dont/wont give a poo about smudged lines at 70, ill be happy if i still got any of my own teeth.

 tall guy - i got a stencil made for of the Vitruvian man but just havent got time to do it atm - but its coming.  

M,oFo

DK - I had the day off on the Monday and my wife and I popped into the local shop and asked the guys if they could do it (just out of interest) and half an hour later I was lying in the chair having it done !

Will hope to get an Outlaw one next before I build up to the Mdot...

Same race distance, just Outlaw are more realistic with their entry price!

I've got a tiny skull and crossbones in the dot of my Mdot tattoo and it looks fine - not as much definition as that but it's clearly the pirate symbol

Slagiatt

Hi Debbo .. at the risk of sounding a bit pervy ( ok i guess if the cap fits ..) could you send /post a pic of yer Mdot tat ?  .. planning to get mine done in the next week or so with the IM Wales dragon inside the M, , a skull and crossbone in the dot would make it even better just didnt think they would be able to do that .    

 DK.. that looks awesome

message edit as this looks really bad at top of new page .... i'm not really a perv  .. read back a  page it'll make sense 

Doner Kebab

Just remember that trying to get to much into s small space might not look too good in a years time . If you are going to put something in a dot - make sure that the outline has room to expand by about 1 mm

fat buddha

slag - I'm with DK - keep it simple. an overcomplicated M-dot tat can look a mess frankly and to have enough space inside the dot for a skull etc would just make the thing huge.

I'm having the dragon from the IMW logo done as a standalone tat on my left calf (probably - still not decided where) as I already have an M-dot on my right shoulder. probably have a black outline with a red fill rather than just plain red

Hope

I like it!

Slagiatt

fair point FB & DK  ... have bounced around loads of ideas on the design since wales but ultimately keep coming back to the original plan of the basic Mdot with IM wales logo dragon inside.   Much to the relief of mrs Slagiatt who really didnt like the idea of an armful of red dragon holding the M.  Now just the small matter of selecting a good tattooist as we have some shockers around here.

[Deleted User]

Not being funny Slag but, looking at DK's tatt, if that's what he's done on himself I know where I'd be going!
And apart from seeing DK's hair at the Vit, I don't know him from Adam!

Slagiatt

I'd say you're spot on there Prince .. but I think DK lives a bit too far away for that to be practical .. I may be wrong though ?  where abouts are you roughly DK ?

Doner Kebab

I'm normally found scaring the wildlife and locals between Boston and skegness nowadays

edit - depending on where you are though i might be able to steer you to someone thats reputable. over recent times so many people have jumped on the bandwagon i wouldnt trust anyone that hasnt been there a few years and can show you their work - but theres a good few really good artists out there, alot better than me, its just knowing who

debbo

Oi FB - you saying my Mdot is a mess? How rude!

debbo

Slag do you want a photo or have they all put you off?!

AndyB99

show us yer tatts

be very interested to see the other designs...especially this one with the dragon in the dot!!
most have seen mine now but its on the right if not..and i'll post bigger if you ask nicely.

cmon...show em!!!

DK...looks awesome that!!!
