| Looking for help to design a scarab tattoo |
Question:
I'm more or less new to tattoos, but I've found myself totally
facinated with the bodyart. I've got one piece on my arm (free hand
piece) and I want my body to be a memoir book of my life (in symbol
form) So now I've finidhed my education as scientist and want to get
it in fleshbound. I've studied thousands of ideas and fallen on the
symbol of the egyptian Scarab (the carrier of hidden universal
knowledge), but my problem is I can't draw and since I'm using the net
alot I thought it would be brilliant to find an artist who would like
a upper arm as a canvas for his work. If anybody out there is
interested please let me know. I love the Idea that an artist will be
imortalised on me and I still get my life story. My whole left upper
arm is your canvas, so e-mail me about your idea. If you live within
the bounds of europe then you might be the one to put it on as well.
Answer:
- You are very correct. Why the hell is there such a surge of people
wanting us to design their life for them? I was part of a tattoo shop
at one time and seen it there as well. People would come in and
ask for shit like "I had this dream the other night". We would
ask: "do you have a picture". "If you could go the library maybe
you could find a picture of what you are talking about." And
then we would get told we have a bad attitude. It's not just
here, my long time friends. Just ask any tattoo artist.
This is your life, DK. Get something original, and do it
all yourself. Including the research. There is no need to
turn to a group of people for us to say "yeah, that's cool."
You come here where there are many people have tattoos
that will blow you away because they are original masterpieces
and you may get something of a response like this:
DK: why don't you get an Egyptian Tasmanian
Devil. Now that would be an original idea. He could be holding
a Scarab in front of his crotch, humping away, with that shy kind
of look on his face that he gets from time to time. And no, I
don't have a picture.
I know damn well that if I put the word "scarab" in my
search engine that I would get about a gazillion returns.
Now don't come back asking for shit. Instead, lets
see a link to this tattoo you got off some flash piece that
10k people got before you. And then you had your
friend that wants to be a tattoo artist put it on you
for practice because he gave you the bro deal.
Or do the research.... and take it to the right person
to do the work for you.
- tattoo artists are paid to do this every day. don't expect any
free work from RAB just because you used the word "imortalised [sic]".
shove a fistful of twenties up your ass, go down to your local tattoo
artist with some examples of scarabs you like, & ask politely for a custom
piece.
