I love this tattoo and there’s obviously a lot of symbolism going on throughout it, but I’d like to know what it actually means. I know that the ‘body’ of the butterfly seems to be a kanji phrase… Anyone know any specifics?

Here’s the tattoo: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://tattoo.about.com/library/graphics/041003h.jpg&imgrefurl=http://tattoo.about.com/cs/tatart/l/bl041003h.htm&usg=__-UG0nGX5-lb4je93Qs7b9adhdvI=&h=365&w=400&sz=47&hl=en&start=2&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=aIzKzID_gQqitM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=124&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkanji%2Bbutterfly%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26ndsp%3D21%26tbs%3Disch:1

Im a tattoo artist and need a good program to transform my sketches into clean computer graphics. When you draw with a pen or pencil its not as "clean" as a drawing made on a computer, how can i turn my drawings into computer graphics?

I want a tattoo on my lower back (AKA "tramp stamp")
I want it to be close to this:

http://tattoo.about.com/library/graphics/kimwolf.jpg

but surrounded with hearts and stars, and i know it may sound corny but instead of a wolf, it would look like my chihuahua.
Or this:

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1237/651528188_74b0295de8.jpgbut

and in the middle of the heart my Chihuahua’s picture.

Underneath either one it i want it to say:
Je adore ma petit garcon L.M. Toujours et pour toujours.

My chihuahua L.M. is a big part of my life and has always been there for me. I know some people cant and wont understand this but in a way he is my baby.
Anyways how much would a tattoo like that probably cost?
And do you think it is a good idea for a tattoo?
Sorry.
The second link didn’t work.
It would be something like this:

http://z.about.com/d/tattoo/1/0/I/3/1/060505c.jpg

or

http://www.tattoosymbol.com/upload/images/pink_heart.jpg

The reason I want my tattoo there is because I have to get it somewhere that its only visible in swim suit season.
Where else could I get it?
Oh trust me.
I am going to get it custom.
I just know I want something similar to the above pics.
I would never steal another artists work.
Plus the guy who is doing my tatt is a wicked artist and has awards for it so I’m pretty sure whatever I get will be original.

Also you are right. They do seem a bit cluttered.
They are all different designs but two of them have kinda the same concept..
They all relate to my baby though!
I know I want his face on a heart with stars around it.
I might want him blowing smoke too.
Thanks.

I don’t want to hear what you think is "slutty" etc. i just want opinions on:

What looks the best, and what hurts the least?

Seriously.. What hurts the least…

Thank you!
I want to get a tattoo to remember my own mortality to remind me I am mortal.. like carpe diem, only like no one has heard of momento mori….

I’m getting a tattoo soon but I’m a bit confused. I want a custom done but I’m not sure how it works – do I have to draw the tat myself? Does the artist design it for me? Can I take a photo down with me and have a tattoo drawn from that?

I can’t design graphics for toffees so I’m wondering how this works? Thanks!
Thanks for the answers so far. Mace it’s none of your business whether I have tattoos or not so keep your opinions to yourself please.
If it’s a photo it’s not custom? Um… what? I meant a photo I have taken, not one I got off Google Images, lol.

Before the lectures start, ironically, my mother is the one with the tattoo. I am 15, so not even legal for a tattoo for quite a while yet.

The tattoo that needs covering up is about the size of a palm, it is a shamrock with a mans name in it.

this is an honest question, but i understand if it sounds a bit trollish, sorry if it does.

what colors would you recommend?

These are similar to my mothers tattoo:

I’ve been thinking about getting this design as a tattoo for several years now. I was wondering if if would work well and where I should put it. I am a girl, and I have a highly professional job, so it must be in a place that can easily be covered. Thanks for the advice!

I recently enlisted and i think this would look sweet, only on my left arm, and without that extra flag stuff near the top of it and where it shows the skin ripping it would be all black inside, not all gut looking

I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for a long time. I never knew exactly what I wanted. One month, I would find one/think of one I would really like, and the next month it wasn’t as interesting. I finally know I want a tattoo that is Bob Marley related. A photo of him and I guess a few other things to personalize it.

My concern is finding a tattoo artist in Northern Indiana that I have confindence in to actually draw Bob Marley on my arm with out making it look all jacked up.

I like:

http://tattoo.about.com/library/graphics/smbobmarley.jpg

This is alright too:

http://www.zhippo.com/StudioOneTattooHOSTED/images/gallery/bob_marley_tattoo.jpg

Looks like the tattoo artist was drunk:

http://www.tattooartists.org/Images/ThumbNails/000041000/Thm41760_marleymoose2.jpg

I guess my question is how much more difficult is it for a tattoo artist to do a portrait as compare to lets say a tribal design? Should I not settle for just any tattoo artist with business? Price Estimate?

I have the caption -" Annie Lennox in Central Park" permanently displayed in the upper left hand corner of my new 55" Mitsubishi Television. It is just a light grey and only apppears when there in just a plain white background on the TV. It is almost like a TV Tattoo of sorts. Anyone know what caused this or if there is a way to get rid of it?

Hi, I’m thinking of getting a tattoo but not sure of which design. It may be tribal, urban style or something simbolical. Once I find a good design I can print it out on an A4 and get it tattoed. Is there any websites on the internet that provide thouthands (?) of graphics for the tattoos of every type and style? Thank you very much!!
