Our last tattoo thread just hit 100 pages today and was thus shut down. MortalToaster, the creator of the last thread seems to have been awol for a few years so I figured I'd make a new one for us.
On that note, the tattoo I was designing this week that some of you gave feedback on is completed, woot! Thanks for all your advice/suggestions/etc.

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
I've thought before about similar designs but don't think I could do one. But that looks rad
I really want a full scale stylised orrery going through my shoulder and part of my back but I just don't know exactly how it should look. Besides that I want it to be colourful.
Satans..... hints.....
But I do not have anywhere near the money, at all.
Also I can never settle on what I want
well, at least they'll know where to put you back after you've been abducted by aliens

Haven't decided where to put it yet. Plus I'm currently out of shape due to health issues, I'm hoping to slim down a bit before I get it done.

Much appreciated guys and gals, I'm pumped about how it turned out and I'm glad you like it as well!
I redesigned it quite a bit in the last few hours, and I loved honovere's Voyager suggestion so much I added that. It was too small to look exactly like I designed (http://i.imgur.com/SmP38qA.jpg) it but I still dig how it looks
KalTorak - I know what you mean. Looking at mine, all I can think is "my arms look terrible." Thankfully I just recently started with a personal trainer twice a week (and he's a bad ass) so hopefully they will tone up quickly
My wife is also planning her first, and is hesitant to put it somewhere it might get stretched when she's pregnant.
So yeah, tattoos stretch with your skin and if the skin stretches a lot, the way the tattoo warps is unpredictable.
Generally it follows the same rule as scars and birthmark s in that the whole thing grows in proportion give or take. Lines will get fatter and less defined.

The color is okay, it's naturally faded after 9 years but it's at least uniform, but I want to get the black lines re-inked
The text on the scroll has become... well, not especially readable anymore, and since I imagine doing text on top of text would start to get messy I wonder if just blacking out the scroll entirely would be better
I'll edit in a picture of what I'm talking about later so it doesn't sound so cryptic
edit:
That was the night I got it, and I have no other pictures of it because I have not since asked any friend to just take a picture of my back please and thank you. The words I might as well have inked over, because while both sides of my family hail from Scotland, and we used to be royalty, and I think that's a cool fact, it's not especially relevant to me on a daily basis, and I'm American, and not walking around embodying some kind of Scottish ideal or yelling at people about the English - well, not for that reason at least
And while "no man provokes me with impunity" looks cool in Latin and may be a good motto for a country, it's also not exactly applicable to the way I've lived my life, hmm, ever
I don't put my fist upside the head of everyone who talks some shit to me! So they're good words but they're not my words, and since I don't know of any words that are mine I think it's best to just have a solid color ribbon there
The lion itself is good work and I have no desire to cover it or even work it into a larger design, though I'll consider freshening up the red
And this is all beside the point of a new idea I'm kicking around which will be mostly if not entirely black
Stay tuned for that? I guess
I'll keep looking into it though!
That being said, his skin is a very dark pigment so your mileage may vary

I guess I'll have to find an artist and go for a consultation either way
But EVERYONE is better than Sven.

Starts at lower back and goes up between shoulder blades. The tall tree is right along the spine.

Yeah. When I had my back done, it was the top, say, third of the cheeks on up. The spine wasn't great, but getting the tailbone worked on was some of the worst pain i've felt. Right up there with the sternum (for me, at least). The cheeks were odd; the pain traveling down through my thighs to my knees was an interesting sensation.

Yeah... definitely going to draw up a version with fewer of those ultra thick lines for my very first tattoo.
Fun fact, the device on the MacNab crest is the severed head of the MacNeish chief, circa 1522. That asshole waylaid the caravan that was bringing provisions for my ancestor's Christmas Feast, and 500 years later we're still apparently pissed about it. The MacNeishes thought they could raid with impunity, because they lived on an island in Loch Earn and owned the only boat on the lake. But on Christmas Eve, the four sons of the MacNab chief hauled their own boat out of Loch Tay and carried it on their shoulders over 10 miles of rough terrain in knee-deep snow. They caught the MacNeishes drunk on their stolen supplies in the middle of the night, and the four of them came very close to eradicating the rival clan entirely.
The Motto translates to "Let Fear be Far from All", which is a slightly more palatable sentiment in a modern context than "Fuck Clan MacNeish Forever", I suppose. Overall, it's about remembering my father, who died when I was an infant, and left behind a ton of family history paraphernalia that served as one of the primary ways I connected with him growing up. And also because it's Metal as Hell.

That's on my list of things to discuss, yeah. Definitely going to start with the line work though, find out if I'm a complete wuss first before committing to colors.
I am wanting to get my first tattoo. I am nervous. But I have a sort of idea in mind.
I'm from Louisiana. I've been through some floods and some hurricanes and all that. This past flood thing has been rough but our family is holding strong. I'm proud of us. I'm proud of our state. So I was thinking that along those lines, I'd get a tattoo to show that we endure the waters and they make us stronger.
So what better than the water nation from avatar!
I was thinking of something very similar to this
But without the bits in the crescent moon part.
Also maybe have some characters underneath it. Can't find the symbols the show would use for the word Southern, but I found the ones for water tribe. Unsure about that part. But I figure black for the design and maybe like a watercolor splash sort of thing for the background?
Thoughts? Things I am missing?
A suggestion was made to have a fleur de lis and an outline of the state which may work?
Not sure about sizing. Think I want it on my calf
