    The Tattoo and Piercing Thread

    So I'm planning out a new tattoo design. I honestly do not have the artistic ability to produce what I want for myself, so I thought I'd bring it here in hopes that someone would take a crack at it.

    You know that synbol for "infinity"? You know, the one with the snake eating its own tail....



    Well, I want a variation on that, involving a Xenomorph from the Alien movies.

    I found this design on the net, which is sort of similar to what I'm looking for...




    Except I'd like the tail to connect to the mouth (possibly even the Alien's second mouth??)

    Anyone feel like tackling this little project for me?

    Awesome, thanks man!

    Actually, I wouldn't mind paying a few bucks for the design...I just hope you're not expecting like, $300 or something.

    I just found a $50 gift certificate to the tattoo parlour on one of my shelves.

    I had completely forgotten about it.

    Sweet.

    So I'm working on a new tattoo design. Probably for my right forearm.

    I'm thinking of a Giger-esque biomech design. Here are two I've seen that I really like...





    I'm wanting a totally original design, though. So it'll be similar in style to these, but not the same

    Nice. And expensive looking.

    I'm thinking of getting my first tattoo. More simple than that.

    Ever get that alien one?

    No I didn't, but I'm thinking about getting that as well, as a sort of bracelet. Have the alien wrap around my arm, its head and tail meeting in the middle.

    What are you thinking of getting, and where?

    Indeed One of my favorite stylists.




    Is anyone here particularly good and drawing this style of artwork? I have some composite ideas but I'm admittedly not even close to being talented enough to draw it out.

    I was thinking about the comedy/tragedy masks. More than likely on a shoulder. I can't do anything on my forearms because of the fire department.

    Black only. Each mask the size of a fist maybe?

    I have to find the right mask too. More gothic in nature.

    Here's a really different version of it...

    Ha. No.

    More like the medieval Gothic.

    Yeah I didn't mean it as a suggestion for your tattoo, I just saw it and thought it was really - as I said - different.

    Something more along these lines?

    Getting closer. But not it. I'd prefer the masks to be all black probably, as my pasty white skin won't look good for the white mask.

    Here are a few I found that are more predominantly black...

    Well, best of luck with whatever you do decide on, and be sure to post the results when it's done!

    Braden, I think you should find a Giger book for more inspiration. I have tried using google and it's the same damned pictures over and over again.

    I agree. His website is also awesome. I want some Giger furniture.
