Tattoos II (and stuff)
Category: Randomness | 32 Comments | Posted 17:59OK so I've pretty much decided on my tattoo.. it's gonna be this bat (here's a new & better, tho not perfect version of it)
I'll probably do a few more of them before actually having it done. Must ring up friends now and ask them where they went and if they'd recommend it. Then must make appointment. *scared*
There's a bug stuck to my sellotape. It's still moving and unless I crush it, it will die a cruel, cruel death (starving? panicking? ripping out its little legs and bleeding to death? I do wonder). Anyway, serves it right for coming in here. Hate bugs.
PS. That was the one I voted for Is it not gonna have teeth or owt tho?
Posted by: The BML at July 21, 2003 06:06 PMLOL teeth? Was gonna have all black. Want just white vampire teeth? Will try. *hehe*
Isn't really own drawing tho. Outline wasn't me.
LMAO @ bug. could chuck down loo. Could just crush. Or give to mum. She likes 'em.
LOL sky blue - indeed!! Actually the main colour I chose by picking a colour from a picture of the sky
Posted by: Clarissa at July 21, 2003 06:19 PMLOL I just looked at the sky and realised that it's absolutely the same colour as the one of your site.
PS Listened to Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwan all the morning (and now). Infected by it. hehe
Posted by: Lo at July 21, 2003 06:37 PMYour mum LIKES bugs??
Doesn't she find she gets bits stuck in her teeth?
P.S. Sorry bout msn the other day. I closed the wrong window and logged myself out!
Posted by: Sue at July 21, 2003 07:36 PMLMAO @ Sue. She likes them as pets, not as food
S'ok about MSN. Maybe some other day
Posted by: Clarissa at July 21, 2003 07:57 PMPoor bug.

Posted by: at July 21, 2003 11:44 PM*agrees with mon about tattoo*
aren't bats usually much skinnier?
Posted by: miriam at July 22, 2003 01:50 AMWant to design me a cool MJ tattoo? I really want a tattoo. lol. I know of a good place to get it done but I'm really not sure of what I want. I like your bat, its cute. It should have a name. Name it Percy Bat.
Percy Bat that lives on Clarissa.
... Shit, I'm tired. LOL Can ya tell?
Posted by: Jess at July 22, 2003 11:31 AMYes, Citz's mum also likes to keep them in LARGE frames and scare the holy bejesus out of the BML.
Posted by: The BML at July 22, 2003 02:18 PM@ BML
Why does it look wrong?
Aren't thinner. Are sweet and furry
Jess, get his autograph. Well, that's what I'm getting. Tho not terribly original, but cool. Tho I might get the Dangerous eyes too
Posted by: Clarissa at July 22, 2003 02:30 PMI'm not sure... it's probably just something wrong with the shading or the way you've colored it that makes the body look a bit strange. (but you said that's not the final version, so may not look strange at all when you finish it)
Posted by: Jar Jar at July 22, 2003 04:14 PMSo you're getting autograph AND bat? I thought you weren't sure which MJ one to get?
Posted by: The BML at July 22, 2003 05:34 PMThought had decided would get MJ one with you later? Haven't decided yet of course. Either eyes or autograph.
Hm @ Jarjar. Doesn't look wrong to me!?
Posted by: Clarissa at July 22, 2003 07:22 PMhmmm... had a look at many bat pics, and you're right, the body isn't too big. But I think I figured out what makes it look a bit strange. The bones in the wings are usually very visible, (like in this pic: http://www.rarespecies.org/kids/bat.jpg ) so I think you should re-do the shading, and maybe add some details to it's face, like the outlines of the nose and eyes.
MJ's autograph is WAY cool, so I think you should tattoo that.
Posted by: miriam at July 22, 2003 11:13 PMor maybe you could get this one. http://www.angelfire.com/mn/unsimpsons/images/bat.gif
lol
Posted by: miriam at July 22, 2003 11:15 PMSIMPSONS!!!
Posted by: The BML at July 23, 2003 11:34 AMLMAO @ the Bartbat
Hm about bones. I know they are. But that makes it look uglier I think (tho can try).
And a face... hm. I didn't want detail at all. And if I add black eyes on black face, I'll have to give it nuances and reflection and all to make them visible. Too complicated.
Yes @ autograph. Think will.
>>Thought had decided would get MJ one with you later? Haven't decided yet of course. Either eyes or autograph.
Posted by: The BML at July 23, 2003 12:50 PMhmm the autograph is so commercial now. im not getting that. i want the dancing feet. but thats gay cause you cant get sparkles with tattoos.
Posted by: Jess at July 23, 2003 01:41 PMLMAO you could add the sparkle every morning?
I know it's commercial. Still like it tho. Plus it's not too much surface, so won't take so long & hurt to so much
I used to want the MJJ Prods logo but u couldn't really do all the lines.
Posted by: The BML at July 23, 2003 02:54 PMoh... so you want it too look more cartoon-ish?
Posted by: miriam at July 23, 2003 03:42 PMlol do you have the original picture of this bat? I'm convinced there's something wrong with the anatomy here
Posted by: Jar Jar at July 23, 2003 03:59 PMI want mine like the front cover of the history greatest hits cd (the rerelease) ... i guess you could have like, stars around it, with a greyish blue sorta thing...that could look cool.
Posted by: Jess at July 23, 2003 04:00 PMThe bat pic is a dingbat. This is what it looks like:
Mir, cartoonish, no, not necessarily. Just simplified. I don't want a realistic representation. Just sth where you can tell it's a bat, and with the right colours.
@ BML Me, some ppl have the logo tho?! How did they manage then?
Ah yes @ Jess. Sounds like a nice compromise.
Ah right, I think it's just that the stomach isn't round enough and the upperbody/head is a bit too big compared to the rest of the animal.
Anyway, since I'm the only one who thinks it looks a bit strange, it's not really a big deal lol.
Posted by: Jar Jar at July 24, 2003 02:01 PMJess, I think that could be done, if you get a really good tattooist (is that a word? lol)
Posted by: miriam at July 24, 2003 02:59 PM
*lol* Chuck bug down loo.
Coooooool tattoo. Me likes. Muchly. How cool you have your OWN drawing on you too.
