Yesterday, a friend who I'd commissioned to design a tattoo for me finished it! It turned out pretty great and I can't wait to get it tattoo'd onto me, which should hopefully be happening sometime soon.

I'm more excited about seeing a Jaffa than seeing the tattoo. :D

Same too!  HE'S REAL!!!! :lol


So guys, I'm thinking of getting this for my first tattoo ever.  Of course it's Rush related.  What do you think?



I want to add one thing to it.  The hand written P/G around it somewhere.



Were you guys afraid I was some kind of internet ghost or something?   :lol


Looks like a cool idea for a tattoo to me, king.   :tup
Sincerely,
Jaffa

Interesting choice for something 'Rush related'.  Only old school fans would get that.  Never knew that GUP was your fave.  As long as it's something meaningful, that's all that matters when it comes to tattoos

Power Windows is my favorite Rush album but I think that tattoo would be so unique and like you said Rush fans would get it.

My girlfriend have designed what will be my next tattoo. It's my guitar and I debated for a long time if I would include the name I gave her (the guitar) on the tattoo but eventually decided it might be a bad idea to tattoo a girl's name on my arm. :lol



It's supposed to go on my upper arm.

Looks good King! Glad you finally got to go through with it.

Mine is almost a year old now, and I still sometimes see it and am surprised it happened.

Looks great Joe! Nice detail in the threads on the clamp and the shading and contrast are great also. It's a really well done tattoo and it's cool that it means something to you.

-waits for picture-
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Not going to get this one colored, the design was done by my friend in a ink style she rocks, and I like it as is, but my next one will be in color  :laugh:

I designed mine when it was done years ago on a similar theme. Mine has my Yngwie Strat and the logo is Silk & Steel from the Savatage instrumental.

I've thought about getting a tattoo, and even have an idea of what I'd want.  It's the cost and the process that keeps me from doing it.

I made a pact with a mate a few years ago that we would both get tattoos of our football team's crest when we next won the Premier League. I'm a Liverpool fan and we were top with 3 games left and threw it away. Not sure if that's a good thing or not  :biggrin:

Get a full back tattoo of 'The ANABASIS' first Albums artwork. To this day I think that's easily in my top five Band cover artwork....it's pretty friggin' cool.

I just put down my deposit on Saturday to have my half sleeve drawn up. This will be the first time ever I've my tattoo artist draw it up, rather than bringing in my own design. I'm finishing my upper left arm, around my phoenix and arm band. He quoted roughly 7 hours total in 2 sittings to knock out the new ink and enhancing the existing. I'll get a call when he's got a drawing for me to check out and then I'll book time in the chair to zap the beast out.
