I hope this is the right forum for this, since its about art, it seemed to fit :)

ever had your art tattooed on yourself or on someone else?

wether youre a tattoo artist yourself or just provided the artwork, i thought it would be fun to start a thread for it, since I know what a cool feeling it was for me to see the finished tattoo on a friend of mine after working up a design for her.

image is mine, the tat is done by a tattoo artist (not me), photo taken before the fill of colour was completed on the wings unfortunately, will try to get an updated image after all the colour work was completely done.

This probably belongs to the Art Discussion thread, but a fun idea nontheless! That butterfly you did is really beautiful and fits well on your friend :)

I actually designed some ravens for my two best friends recently, I suppose I could share those! The photoshopped colour was kinda sloppy, because they didn't really need it to be all perfect. Also sorry, they're kinda big!

And here they are in person! They did some changes, though, both in colour and the swirls didn't fit perfectly on the arm either. Sorry about the crap quality on the first, taken on a phone :/

Very nice. I am considering getting a tattoo myself, but I am planning to design it myself. Since it's going to be permanent, I'm not in a big hurry to decide what.

Good thread! Sadly, neither my wife or I have had the opportunity to get a tattoo in a few years, but I designed both of our last tats. Here they are, both done by Tom Berg at Socal tattoo, San Pedro, Ca.

I'm actually in the process of designing my next tat for sometime next year....very excited to add on to what I have.
