Thanks for the heads up! I love his Devil Girls - Very cool work. I'll definitely have a lot to look through here.

Very good call. I've been looking through tons of tattoos and they're just "not right" (if that makes sense) - I'll go through more source material. Plus, I don't mind an excuse to pick up more art books. Thanks for the links!!!

I love Elvgren's classic pin ups - That was our 2011 kitchen calendar and I'm currently looking for a 2012.

There's also Kirsten Easthope, who does modern pin ups - She does these hot "Crucichicks" that I'd love to get my hands on.

Thanks so much for the links! I know what I'll be doing today... ;)

yeah.......if I wasn't such a gentleman I could throw out a dirty joke right about now.

Looks awesome Chrono! Very cool.

Ferox13 02-18-2012 02:02 AM

Nice work..

ChronoGrl 02-18-2012 02:53 AM

Thanks! I'm really happy with them... I love old school swallow tattoos and their symbolism; been wanting them for a while. The artist I work with is great; I originally wanted just one on my right shoulder, but he helped me with the positioning so that I could get one on the left shoulder too "overlapping" my other tat. I'm so happy that I went with both. I'm in love!

hammerfan 02-18-2012 03:53 AM

Beautiful work!

Ferox13 02-18-2012 07:01 AM

Yeah you were wise to go with both...

Whats on yer back?

Nothing on my back yet, just this on my left shoulder:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6.../me_tattoo.jpg

Because of its placement on the front of my left shoulder, I didn't think that I could fit in two swallows without pushing them closer to the center of my chest... And while I liked them closer to below the collarbone, I didn't want them visible when I wore busty shirts to work... ;) It was really cool that the tattooist helped me with the placement so that I could fit both.

Any new tats planned for you guys?

HOWEVER, I have yet to get a tattoo - Still in the stages of deciding what I want (currently considering a bunny silhouette on my left shoulder blade).

How 'bout you guys? I want to see! Let this be THE OFFICIAL HDC TATTOO THREAD.

What's your tat? Where did you get it? Is there a story behind it? Do you regret it? Plan on getting more?

Post 'em if you got 'em! :D

Thanks for the link :) I will add pics of my tatts, I got them all done by a shit tattooist coz I'm stupid like that. I agree with you in the first statement.

Very cool - I did notice in one of the pics you posted that you have an anchor on your thigh... I LOVE nautical tattoos and, honestly, I think that thigh tattoos are sexy (if I ever lose weight I'd love to get a huge pin-up girl on my right thigh). :D

This is one of my current ideas for my next tat, on my bicep (really want to finish my quarter-sleeve but wanted to deviate from the roses):

My first tattoo, because I'm retro like that, got it for no reason what so ever, yes I regret it :/

http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...DSC_0007-1.jpg

I got this to cover a scar I had, I don't regret it because it's nothing major.

http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...4/DSC_0007.jpg

This is my sons name and birth date, don't regret it one bit, but would have prefered a better tattooist...

Gonna have to do another post :/

For my dad, reminds me of our first Holiday just us, to The Gambia. It's a Gambian quote. I don't regret it again just wished it was done better.

http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...0723-00027.jpg

For my mum and dad, Bob Marley quote because me and dad love him and musical note because my mum is very musical and got me into singing etc. Same as before don't regret it just wish it was done better.

http://i1245.photobucket.com/albums/...IMAG0336-1.jpg

My most recent and favourite, I know it's not original but it means a lot to me because I've been through a lot in life and I'm not fucked up yet XD .

I still want more and will get more, I have got a mess on my neck that I'm not willing to show and I'm getting covered soon. Questions?? Haha, I've done an essay :)

I don't take offense because it's exactly how the picture I took in was, it's meant to look like that.

Not what I mean - The lines done with the liner are inconsistency in width. They are also really shakey. I don't think any tattooist would do that on purpose.

Just my opinion and what would I know.

Personally, I wouldn't let that guy near me.

Ferox13 07-29-2012 03:33 AM

A friend of mine wants a website so I think I will trade her for some new ink. I have an idea for my forearm :-)

Yes, he uses his body like he would use a notebook or a diary.

Just like you do. ;)
