Brexit the Frog

hey guys

I've been considering some KB ink for a couple years now, but i dunno how to go about it.

a lot of people seem to get her little monogram thing:

which I'm not really in love with

i've been thinking about trying to find somebody who could faithfully replicate this album cover tho:

what to you guys think? is there some iconography i'm overlooking that'd make for a sick tat?

Those are both bad tats imo, but the second is less so, verging on ok

Also where on your body that's most important lol

i've also considered just getting a text tattoo that says "i really loving like kate bush"

but then there's the question of typefaces! so much to consider. exhausting

something like the album cover would need space to breathe, so my back i think? anthony kiedis style

smaller stuff would be on my upper arms. maybe my calf?

Let me emphasize how terrible getting that weird little symbol would be

oh no, that was never in the running. i just wanted to show what some other people have been known to do

A good starting place for tattoo ideas is "is this better than a bumper sticker?" The first one fails this test

I guess your a guy the second one would be alright on the shoulder blade going down your arm

If you were a girl and just didn't give a gently caress you could have the stream of animals going across your inner thigh to your mons lol

Personally I think if you are going to permanently affix a image to your body u would shoot for something higher than "band I like" but that's me [not a patronizing tone]

For instance someone I know has 2 american warplanes across his chest which is goofy and not deep but characterful unlike a band thing so I think it's p good

Getting a band tat is like getting your zodiac tatted on you. Lots of people do it, and I think it's a bad idea unless you are covered with all kinds of poo poo and just don't care

no offense taken, but dumb band stuff is some of the only stuff i'd consider tbh

If you don't care about it being 110% faithful you could work the stream into a half sleeve or full sleeve which could look really good if they wrap the image well

yeah i kinda wish there was an uncropped version to work with. i love the look of those weird kids' book monsters, but i don't trust any old dude to replicate them

Also if this is your first tat don't start with a huge half sleeve get something small and work up to the big thing you really want
