So I got a new tattoo started today

[ghostsofgiants]

I am getting the colouring started in two weeks!

The original illustration is by this guy: http://atanasio.deviantart.com

He is a Chilean artist that I have been obsessed with for a while. (My avatar is also one of his pieces, haha.)

1. No offense intended,

but that looks a little "acid inspired", if you know what I mean.

Cool design! Be sure to post the updated color pictures!

[ghostsofgiants]

4. I prefer surrealist inspired, thank you very much.

:P

[HopeHoops]

7. Salvador Dali, perhaps?

Or Escher?

[bicentennial_baby]

2. Incredibly cool

Me likey.

3. Is that your own design?

I'm going to assume it is since you've got the talent for it.

[ghostsofgiants]

No, I won't put my own work on me, haha, I don't like it enough.

:P

It's by a Chilean artist named Claudio Romo. I like my tattoos to be of art that inspires me.

[InternalDialogue]

8. I'm gonna go google him.

[ghostsofgiants]

9. I put his link in the OP.

[InternalDialogue]

10. Yeah, found him

It looks like it's a self-portrait.



You should meet him sometime and show him.

[ghostsofgiants]

12. If I"m ever in Chile, haha.

5. Your own design?

Sweet either way. A Jules Verne type oceano-botanist?

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Not my own design, but yeah, something like that, haha.

It's from a series called "The Album of Imprudent Flora, a fictitious herbarium of 10 plants."

6. Damn! That's a pretty wild tat.

What's it based on?

11. Looks expensive...

:o

and painful :scared:

[ghostsofgiants]

13. Today's session cost me about $130 after tax and tip.

A couple colouring sessions at $200 + tax and tip to go, haha.

And yeah, it stung a little, haha. Especially the inside of the arm.

[flvegan]

14. Dude, is that a rubber ducky shower curtain?

I must have one of those.

Oh, about the tat, looks pretty wild. I like. How long did it take to ink that?

[ghostsofgiants]

15. Haha, it is indeed.

Took about an hour.

[rucky]

16. That's awesome! Here's a design I've been kicking around...

[ghostsofgiants]

17. YES.

Best tattoo idea ever.

[hibbing]

18. wow

Hi,
Wow, that is really neato! Looks like some nice work too. Thanks for sharing, and like another post said, be sure to update us all when it is finished please.

Peace

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Most definitely will.

:D

Thanks!

20. Sweet half-sleeve design.

I have a flame design on both of my arms that take up about a third of each arm, starting at the wrist. I also have the constellation Scorpius on one forearm and the constellation Orion on the other. Ha.

I want to get an unoriginal design for my next tattoo: a black bleeding heart with a vampire biting into it.

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Unfortunate. TM and I don't like tattoos.

:thumbsdown:


:rofl:

[ghostsofgiants]

23. Pfftt, I already had one.

:P

[demmiblue]

24. Cool... kind of Dr. Seussish, but more refined.

I kind of like it uncolored!

[ghostsofgiants]

25. Yeah, I am really pleased with how the outlines turned out.

It will be amazing coloured. :D
