tattoo question

Ok, Here are a few lessons.

Finger tattoos hurt

and 2

That is the gnarliest noise I have ever heard.

Tattooing a car logo would be just as bad as doing a girlfriends name. Glad you were joking.

I have plans for multiple vehicle related ones. I think my next one is going to be Supra related, I'm going to have money to get it done so I probably will be getting it done soon.

My friend Matt was asking me what i did today and I told him a white lie that I got an eagle tattooed on my ankle. soo i photoshoped this on...

believeable?

Aside from the joke how does it look as far as really getting it done? I highly doubt i would especially considering i don't have an MR2 but...anyway...

here's the final image of my ankle;

this is the original image I found;

Take the white out. I love the MR2 emblem

 

[Figit090]

that would be difficult... is it believable how it is?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

If you know nothing about tattoos, yes. hahaha

 

[Figit090]

yeah i knew something was wrong.... to pigmented right? uurrhg.

its my first shot at something like this.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Tattoos generally will NEVER have that much white in it. I could take a pic of my 2 with white, but its besides the point

I can use google... this is what i found when i was looking to see how possible it was. but even then i pushed it. i'm fixing it i'll post up again later.

this has lots of white - http://tattoodesigns1.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/white-dove.jpeg

It is also going to have to flow with your ankle, but yes, the second I saw the picture (before I even read your post) I knew that was fake.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Its also brand new. That will most likely bleed out rather quickly

 

[Figit090]

Merlyn - yeah the flow came to mind but...meh. is white the main giveaway? nothing else? (besides the contour issue that is)

BWB - ah, didn't know that. good to know, i would not want a skin-colored bird on my should i ever choose to get a dove tattoo...

EDIT, different pic!!

ok fixed....now, honestly, what do you think? OK i fixed it and removed the funny redness i tried... now how does it look as far as realism? how's it look as far as color and stuff? not a big deal on that last one but i'm curious...

 

[Merlyn]

I would add some blood / black ink around it... also, add a glare to it, the ink on the surface of skin gives off a massive reflection, to get an idea of a "fresh" tattoo, this picture was taken a few hours after I got mine

this was after washing it up, but to add realism, I would add some faint blood / black ink.

 

[Figit090]

well i dont know photo editing well enough to add reflection... i did chop in a piece of paper for a better overall look... how's this;

 

[Merlyn]

the colors look real... I guess it is the whole location, design of the body that is sorta getting me on the believing side... I imagine it could easily pass off as a tattoo, could use some work, but is not completely obvious as it was before

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

lol, your crafty.

 

[Figit090]

lol...me?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Your really trying to make it work, I find that funny

 

[Figit090]

yeah well i got my rather gullible friend to take the bait that i have one, and i am not one to get a tattoo so he was quite surprised. I like messin' with him

Yeah I kinda overdid it on trying. i'm done now and i'll give him a slightly smaller version of the pic so he can't zoom in and see my sketchy photoshopping

I think part of me really wanted to see how it would look though...partially justifying the effort i put in.
