I'm going in to start the outline of my Jurassic Park themed chest piece tonight.

I'll come back to post the results tout de suite.

It's the pubis bone and the base of the tail.



Also if I was thinking of getting a tattoo of a Papo dino toy I would have checked this blog for a thorough evaluation of the scientific accuracy of the model.


You're taking a Jurassic Park Tattoo a little too seriously. But even your source says:

If you... like the animals of jurassic park, this one belongs in your collection for sure.

A guy with a dinosaur username and dinosaur avatar who recognised a specific dinosaur toy from an outline tattoo is taking it too seriously?

I was kidding, I actually like the tattoo

It's ok. I recognized that we were kindred spirits. I made the decision early on that I'd rather have a Jurassic Park tattoo as opposed to a "dinosaur" tattoo because we're always learning new things about dinosaurs, but the dinos in JP1 can't ever really change.

But thanks. I appreciate it. ^_^

I assume you're joking, but that's not texture. It's terrible splotchy shading.

The thing that concerns me the most about that photo isn't the smoking, drinking, kitchen-wizard at the PC, lack of gloves etc. I would have turned away at the sighting of Jorts.

I think it was going for old school style and missed by a mile.

This. Not only does it fail to achieve its style, but it's artistically bad. It's not the style, it's just bad.

What the hell is that thing in the middle?

It is the Tibetan Buddhist Mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum" written in, shockingly, tibetan.

According to the Dalai Lama, for the link-clicking impaired,

quote:

"It is very good to recite the mantra Om mani padme hum, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast... The first, Om [...] symbolizes the practitioner's impure body, speech, and mind; it also symbolizes the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha[...]"
"The path is indicated by the next four syllables. Mani, meaning jewel, symbolizes the factors of method: (the) altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion, and love.[...]"
"The two syllables, padme, meaning lotus, symbolize wisdom[...]"
"Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolized by the final syllable hum, which indicates indivisibility[...]"
"Thus the six syllables, om mani padme hum, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path which is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech, and mind into the pure exalted body, speech, and mind of a Buddha[...]"
-- H.H. Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama, "Om Mani Padme Hum

I have a tatoo i recieved while i was drunk at a party i threw at my dilapidated house. Im a chef....the tattoo depicts a steak with two cleavers and it passionately states "eat it...it's good" Needless to say the tattoo is located on my stomach

If it is done well, you'll be welcomed with open arms to the goon tattoo megathread, where there are at LEAST two other food themed tattoos: A flying ham and a flying key lime pie.

Ever since I started deer hunting I've entertained the idea of getting a deer tattoo - but the fact that I have NEVER seen a deer tattoo that looks anything like an actual deer has prevented me from doing so.

BREAKING: THERE ARE ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS TO THE RULE. FILM AT 11.

Also, generalizations are ok. They are saying "In general, it is a bad idea to get a neck or hand tattoo because it will definitely impact your chances at landing jobs in the future." This is always true. It will immediately limit your job possibilities. No one ever said it will stop you from ever getting a job anywhere ever. No one even said it would stop you from ever getting a corporate job. Just that it would limit your job options. Which it will.

Now shut the gently caress up already.

Person gets 152 of their friend's Facebook profile pictures tattooed on their arm. In a way it does look kind of cool. You can't really see how well done they are though, and I would be a bit weirded out if some random person I went to college with 10 years ago had me tattooed on them.

The tattoo itself looks pretty decent, the artist is hot. The concept is flawed and utterly stupid. If she'd gotten hundreds of little pictures of something else, it'd be great.

I meant moreso one of those picture mosaics. That tattoo sucks because each block is uniform and too small anyway. The pictures would have to be bigger and more unique.

You're all wrong. Its one of those code things that you scan with your phone. It does take you to stormfront though

That would be brilliant.

Althouogh there was a guy in the megathread that had a QR Code tattooed to send people to his blog or something, and I tried scanning it and it didn't work. Maybe it does in real life?

Plus, every shop has to do stuff they "don't want to do", but if they're reputable artists they wont do a sub standard job. If they do, then that is their name slapped onto a lovely tattoo forever.

This isn't true. Sure a lot of street shops where you start off are stuck doing whatever the newest fad in tribal tasmanian devils are but there are quite a few "collector" oriented shops that don't do walk ins, usually only do custom designs or flash that the artist drew himself. There is also a very select group of artists that will only tattoo you if a) the really really like your idea or b) you give them license to do whatever they want and you're just happy you got that tattoo.

It's not common, it's not necessarily good or bad. But it's out there. Plenty of artists will turn down stuff because they "don't want to do" it.

Fair enough. turning down an idea because you don't want to do it is different from doing a lovely job because you don't want to do it, though.

Sure. I would say the latter is extremely unethical and even really good artists will turn down a job because they're not sure they can pull it off.
