Lilah Vale / Harley Spencer / October Daring

Finally finished designing my tattoo! I've been working on it for a few weeks. I drew a different item for each symbol going down my spine. A heart for love, yellow roses for friend, owl for wisdom, peace sign for peace, anchor for hope, manuka tea tree leaves for tea (don't ask...), a ***** catcher for *****, and a rainbow equality symbol for morality.

Hopefully the tattoo artist doesn't think I'm asking too much of him.

What do you guys think? Pretty? :)

Oh and I know the music notes are a little crooked. That part doesn't matter, it's already tattooed on me and as I working on this, I had to re-draw it at least 10 times before the final copy so the symbols and notes are a bit off.

If I ever get a tattoo, I may have to have you design it for me. That looks incredible.

Thank you :) It took me weeks to finally finish it.

I'm sure, the detail there is very precise and exact. I have no idea what qualifications one might need aside from an artistic bent and good drawing skills, but have you ever considered becoming a tattoo artist?
 
That is a fantastic looking design for a tattoo Harley. You certainly have the artistic skills. Me thinks the finished product is going to look equally stunning.

Very cool. Really like the owl.

Thinking of having this done soon? I know you were planning on having the one for time on your arm colored in as well, so would this before or after that?

How about a unicorn impaling a bunny?

It's crossed my mind, but I have other things I'd rather do.

For tattoos, you can be artistic but be a terrible tattoo artist. You have to make sure you apply the right amount of pressure so that the ink stays vibrant longer (ever noticed how some tattoos fade?), the needle moves very fast and it's not terribly light so you must have good balance, and on top of all that, you ***** a little bit while getting tattooed so you have to have a very good eye with all the ink and ***** pooling around your needle where you're trying to tattoo, constantly having to pause and wipe it away.

I'm not sure. I'm hoping to get it done before I get my arm colored in. I designed the symbols going down my spine about 4 years ago and initially wanted to have additional objects drawn around them but I didn't have enough time so i settled for just the symbols. The one on my arm I got about a year and a half ago. So I'd rather finish what I started in the proper order. But this is a rather large piece, and I'm getting it done for free in exchange for a photo shoot, so it all depends on whether or not the photographer is ok with doing such a large tattoo. If he's not then I'll settle for getting my arm colored in.

I'm not surprised that you could be good on paper, but bad on flesh. Both my ******* and *** have 2 tattoos each done by the same guy, who performed such diligent work it was hard not to compliment him often. Obviously you can't be like this guy.

You guys are inspiring me. I may do some drawing tonight...

Will there be a naked Harley riding the unicorn? 'Cause if so I wanna see the picture... even if she is a stick figure in it! :D

Why? Different canvas, different tools. I used to be pretty decent with a pencil, but **** with a paintbrush. :dunno:

I think it'd be better if it was a naked Harley riding a Harley, but maybe I don't think outside the box enough.

I'm not surprised that skills with one instrument don't translate to another. I'm the same as you, good with a pencil, crapola with a paintbrush or anything else.
