rockstar Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Ok I have quite a few tattoos but I'm starting what I call my saltwater leg this week. It's going to be corals, fish, invertebrates eventually. Thought I would share my first one and see if any of you have tattoos that fit in with this hobby Btw this is only gonna cost me $25 at a professional shop because I'm a guinea pig for a new apprentice so I'll post the actual tat when it's done. And the colors are not going to be what this picture actually shows. Link to comment
Chadf Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have a reef half sleeve, I'll try and remember to have the wife take some pics tomorrow. Link to comment
tgore Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Saw this on a members instagram account and thought about looking into incorporating this into my next piece. Link to comment
Jsheffield85 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Poseidon, jelly, octo, and my pirate skull. Upper half is all sea/maritime related I have a ships wheel, light house and a seawall on my upper arm just need the filler on bottom half and I'm done for awhile. Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I've got an idea in my head that will tie in basically everything that is important to me all into one piece (half sleeve). The whole thing will have a sea theme with plenty of fish and coral. A buddy of mine is an amazing tattoo artist and I plan to get him to do it. If and when I ever get it done I will find this thread and post up some pics. Link to comment
MarieH Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have been considering one lol My daughter is a tattoo artist. But I don't know...what. I was thinking a serpent star. Link to comment
Nature786 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I have been considering one lol My daughter is a tattoo artist. But I don't know...what. I was thinking a serpent star. One of my friends took a nice picture of his Picasso clownfish pair and their anemone and got it tattooed on his Calf. I have to say it looks very nice, specially the RBTA's colors. I would say pick either a favorite thing from your set up or a favorite fish and get that. Link to comment

rockstar Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 well gooburz i have to say i got the pic online and know atleast one other person has it as a tattoo so go for it i dont mind. Link to comment
Gooburz Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I was thinking of making the wheel metal looking and then making the octo Red and few other minor things but it came out sick man! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I have a bit of an obsession, my two octopi. Also have a snail on my foot as well. Those colors are so bright. Beauuuuutiful. Link to comment
rockstar Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Gooburz the metal wheel is a great idea because it would be like a navy ship wheel. i didnt do red because my skin just doesnt look as good in warm tones but im sure it would be a great color for the octopus. thanks i also think it turned out good considering it was done by an apprentice. Chadf still waiting to see your reef sleeve....im sure its awesome. and it might help me with my ideas and i also just like looking at the art Link to comment
