April 8, 200619 yr Author Edit: Question, what is a good place on your body to get a tat that jobs won't care about? But that could also be easily visible? Depends on what you do for living..I wear suits or business clothes (slacks, button down, tie, jacket) for my "main job" (vendor repping for a small direct from dealerships auto product company), do the computer businesses from home, etcetera. As long as it starts farther up your wrist than your watch rides, and you wear colered shirts of decent thickness, just about anywhere from wrist to ankle below collarbone is inkable safely, arms, forearms, shoulders, and calves are goign to be seen most often when you're out and about recreationally.

April 8, 200619 yr It's a great start. The color-schemed mechanical under carbon fiber under biomass is a killer concept. If this guy pulls it off it will look fuckin awesome.
April 9, 200619 yr Author he'll pull it off. He did his apprenticeship under Johnny Rocket, who made Inkslinger's (Honolulu) famous for his biomech/geiger-esque/escher-inspired style famous. Only downside is he's only been out of his apprenticeship 6 years, and is already running a shop of his own (the only truly quyality shop in this town, so I guess he knows talent when he sees it, and has a good business head, as well as being an artist/craftsman...not a common combination, IMO). He's got my 100% trust, which is unsusual for me to say about any tattooist...most previous works, I watch minutely, and make suggestions on changes/adaptations as they work...I watched him work for me for the first 10 minutes after designing was done ( having watched him work on other customers for about four hours while talking to him in preperation), then stuck my headphones on, tuned out, and let him work.
April 9, 200619 yr looks good to lazy to read the thread for one question so ill just ask how much did all that in the picture you post come out to?
April 9, 200619 yr Author $200 for the work done so far, $100 advance on the next bit of outlining work, a total of $500 expected just for outlining, and probably another $1000 to $1800 to be spent on shading and coloring, just for the par6t that goes wrist to just above elbow. Probably $2500-$3500 for the full sleeve, when it's done (which will happen over the next year)
April 9, 200619 yr If any of you watch prison break, you would know the main character's ink is pretty sweet. Although it would take a lot of time and money, you should get a full suit like this. http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/5294/tatoo8ux.jpg yeh thanks some detailed shit.
April 10, 200619 yr Author yeah, but work like that, done for movies and shows, is temporary stuff placed with specially inked pre-made "flash" an artist (often a tottooist or body paint atrtist) makes sections of paper all cut to fit/wrap sectionf of body, draws the whole thing in, and they scan it...from then on, before shooting, they run it off on a printer (complete with cut-lines) fed with transfer paper, moisten the body with a solvent that helps the ink transfer without blurring, then those tatts are on unless strong alcahol is spilled on them (which is how they remove them...rubbing alcahol and swabs or paper towels) You can design or have designed, and purchase job lots of this sort of stuff cheap as hell, if you know where to go, but they fade out in 3-5 days without pre-application, even if you don't wash them off with alcahol. In other words, it's surface only...nice looking stuff, buit alot of it couldn't be done or wouldn't work for a real tattoo (especially the finework detail, which tends to "blur" on a real tat after 5-7 years, as the skin is stretched or loses elasticity, or is exposed too often to sun unprotected) As this style of "temporary tattoo" becomes cheaper to make, I expect it'll hit the market in a big way. Right now, you could buy a pre designed upper "suit" with 1000 copies (about 4 year's worth of daily, or 8 years, with care and every-other-day reapplication, since they'll survive a normal shower) would cost you about $4K, so long as you had ALL the proper measurements, or were willing to go to a tailor who's worked costuming or bodysuit work before to get them.
April 10, 200619 yr I really dislike tatoo's. They make a person filthy to me, especially girls. The only acceptable tats in my opinion, and what I think look quite good, is when some one has them all over, not as in a body suit, but just has a lot of them.

Yeh but it still looks cool as hell. The real version of that tat would be way less complicated/crowded. It's like High Tech Henna almost except not gay.
April 10, 200619 yr I would beat ur ass if i saw some gay cyborg shit like that on your body u fucken retard, get something mascaline, not all star trekie u fucken homo
April 11, 200619 yr Author I would beat ur ass if i saw some gay cyborg shit like that on your body u fucken retard, get something mascaline, not all star trekie u fucken homo Nothing "trekkie" about biotech body art, mate, it's a good way to belnd in a sleeve, and one of the most common (all that stuff you see with bare skin with "holes" in it showing stuff in the background in the tat 'zines is "biotech style", by definition, as is all the stuff with the skin appearing to be ripped so stuff can come through (like the skeletons or skeletal hands ripping through the skin, in appearance), I'm just taking it farther because I'm a Giger fan...not just of his stuff from the Aliens and Species movies, but of ALL his art, and much of the stuff influenced by it. I also happen to be a big fan of Escher, Bottecelli (who influenced the idea of possibly backgrounding the right arm in greyscale gargoyles), Dali, Pollock, and several others... As for you "kicking my ass"....that's a pretty good laugh...we got an e-tough over here threatening a guy with a multiple violent felony record, and a sheet of "unprosecuteds" long enough that more than half the cops in a town of 65K know him on site because the thinks his ink is "geek" or "pussy"....just how much ink you wearing, mate? If any, I'd lay odds you've thrown on trendy tribal or kanji bullshit, or maybe a cartoon Taz or maybe even (if you've done service) one of the service related "mascot" pieces. Come talk to me when you've worked out and at least started on at MINIMUM a half sleeve piece that's to be fully inked, no natural flesh left bare. TY NeoPhyte...Biotech..especially the HEAVY biotech like that isn't going to be everyone's style, by a long shot...part of why I like it so much. It's nto another one of the "christian collages" so common on Hispanics, or skull-and-death motifs done by blackwork fans, fits in with the more "hidden" symbols I'm incorperating, and should be something outstanding, different, and definately eye catching, even at body art shows and human suspension exhibitions...I figure if you're going to do something that pretty thoroughly lables you "subculture", you ought to do it right, rather than being like the 1980's "cookie cutter Punkers" or the 90's "Idustrial Goths", who showed how "different" and "outside the mainstream" they were by wearing what amounted to a fucking uniform.
April 11, 200619 yr Author Yeh but it still looks cool as hell. The real version of that tat would be way less complicated/crowded. It's like High Tech Henna almost except not gay. Agreed. I'd almost like to get hold of the equipment it takes to do the movie costuming stuff like that and see if I COULD turn it into a working business, doing more realistic, longer-lasting "temporary tattoos" that were capable of being more than the little printed flim crapola ones or henna ones currently available to the public. Granted, they'd only sell to the poser drowd, the wannabe emos and goths, and such, but there's enough of them around with enough expendable income that it might just be doable...
April 11, 200619 yr i like h r gigers styles, so if it gets something close to what his designs looks like when finished its gonna be good
April 11, 200619 yr I was thinking of getting an Ankh on my shoulder blade, any other good places for ink?
April 11, 200619 yr nothing tough about you, u aint never done nothing illegal, ur just a poser, no one brags about the stupid shit they did & got caught for. if anything having a record proves how much of a ****** you really are, minus the queer tatoos ur getting on ur fucken arm, get a cheese grater and remove that shit plz

Pschobud fucking owns you ok? PsychoBud']Agreed.

Granted, they'd only sell to the poser drowd, the wannabe emos and goths, and such, but there's enough of them around with enough expendable income that it might just be doable... It would probably be a good buisness, because, like you said, you can't do anything that complicated with real tatoos, so if someone wanted something like that, they could come in once a week or something like that and have it redone. Edit: more info on the tats from "Prison Break" The tattoo was designed by Tom Berg of SoCal Tattoo, who also created the tattoo design for the 2002 film Red Dragon. The article says of the tattoo: "To create the intricate design, a puzzlelike series of blue-green decals is applied, sprayed, peeled off and then sealed with glue to protect the design. For two hours of the four-hourlong application process, when they are working on his torso, Mr. Miller has to stand with his arms above his head...The first time the decals were applied, Mr. Miller said, he was 'thrilled - it felt like you were a walking work of art.' ... But the thrill soon faded when Mr. Miller discovered that this artwork is sticky. He said he usually takes the decals off 'at the end of the day, scrubbing them off with solvents. Because if I didn't, I'd stick to the sheets at night'."

Those who've pulled real time DO carry it with pride, especially, if, like I did, they managed to "dodge the bullet" and get suspended sentences with minimal actual time. Both times I was convicted, assault was involved, both times, I was facing 5 years, and both times, I pulled minor time in county, and sentence suspension with fines, community service and other bullshit as part of the "overcrowded prisons probationer's program"...it's also what cost me my insurance and SEC7 liscense, and therefore my job in F&I, which is why I went back to school. As far as "being stupid enough to get caught"...it's kind of hard NOT to get caught if you're still beating on the fucker when the cops show up....we're not talking some dumbass "stick up a 7-11" bullshit, both times I was actually charged, it was article 901's. And if you knew a goddamned thing, you'd know assaults (especially serious ones) rank just below murder/manslaughter on the "yard respect" totem pole, so what time I DID do wasn't "bad time" in the least...especially since, since my sentences were suspended, I spent all my time in Whatcom County lockup, rather than waiting at Monroe (where I'd been had it been a homicide orvoluntary manslaughter charge). Waiting for sept 2007 to get the first one expunged (IF I can), and then gotta wait for 2009 for the second one, unless I manage to qualify for early expungement. When a pussy ass suburbanite momma's boy like you hasn't got the experience to know what hes talking about to begin with, he's usually best just sitting down and shutting up, 2na. Or maybe it's just coming from totally different backgrounds, I dunno...about half my family have records, my Dad's the "black sheep" in his family, mom's the one in hers, both because they've never been arrested, done drugs, or gotten tattooed...everyone else in the last two generations has at least two of the three of those in their history. Quite a few have all three. NWA']Tats are gay. Different strokes for different folks, NWA...you know I got some serious respect for your mind and your opinion, but on this one, we'll just have to disagree...I think well done tatts are GORGEOUS...every serious "bible" I've ever read (Qu'aran, Bible, Talmud, etcetera) claims the body's a temple...I want the walls of mine painted more than plain white...just so long's I can put on a suit and hide it, so I can make a real living, once I finish with these last couple semesters. After they've hired you, most companies could give a flying fuck less what their IT/Code Monkies look like, just as long as they can do the job. Right now, it's looking like I'll end up working as a contractor for a few years, until the record "falls off", so I can get security clearances again, and am not blocked from certain liscenses and certifications (f'rinstance, stopped the CCIE program one semester in, when I found out that even if I passed, they wouldn't certify me until 2009 or I was fully expunged, since it's (in part) a security certification backed by the company itself).
