Title: Ink
Post by: veritasinchains on December 17, 2012, 01:14:43 PM
As with other posts I hope this is the right place. :P

As I said in another post I am considering getting a tattoo. I was looking into designs and have picked one I like... one issue. I am not out to my family and I was thinking of getting it on my shoulder. So hiding it would be hard...
I liked the first. A friend said the second looked cool. I really like the feel of the third. I am thinking a combo of either 1 and 2 or 2 and 3.

I like the first the best (imagining the centre of the circle on top of the shoulder joint). Though yellow doesn't always read well, without a black outline around it. I really like the third one in principle, but I think it needs some smoothing out - and if it were my design, I'd have the 'inner circle' tails so that each one has one under, one over the next, so they're more equal - the venus symbol is a bit sidelined.

Sure - you need your picture to be somewhere accessible from the web, with a url (web address), and then you put the url between [ img] codes, which you can enter by clicking on the image button in the Post Reply toolbar (the far-left button below the B-for-Bold button. For example:

[img]http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/duty_calls.png[/img]

does this:

That's right.  There seems to be articles in the press about evey year on more and more people trying to get rid of tattoos.  Usually about 10 - 20 years after they got them.  Google "temporary tattoos".
