I'm gonna have to cut...

Lol, I keep nicking half of his reference material... it's not really the sort I have in mind. Also, I'm an artist myself, and a creative control freak, plus for something so near my face I'm gonna be extra-picky hehe. Even for things like flower combinations I think about whether they'd actually be in bloom at the same time. I was looking at crab apple blossoms just now, and thought shit they're probably too early-flowering to fit with some other things.

Which mushrooms are pretty?

 

It's a tattoo, so the flowers will eventually be out of season regardless the type. And most mushrooms look like penises, even the pretty ones. Cherry blossoms look rad in ink, as does bamboo.

 

What about Plumeria?

 

Yes mushrooms are a bit too phallic lol. Just happened to flick past them in my book which is why I asked. That is a nice flower gretaoto

 

Get a big inverted cross

In true norwegian fashion

 

lol Pat

 

So here it is so far lol. No very evenly shaved is it?!...doh. Once the tattoo business is seen to, I'll allow the hairline to grow back over it a little and maintain the shape with a better curve. The other side is in really jagged steps, just coz it was dictated by the dread bases. Will look neat 'n' sweet when it's all finished though

It's nice to not have a hairy neck for once. That mutant hairline almost goes right round to the front!

 

Ok, enough pics!

 

I really like the picture posted earlier of the full scalp tattoo under the hair (which I'm assuming is your inspiration)
I LOVE how it fades away under the hair line. It is very very interesting, you know?
And as mushrooms go, they are always too cliched in my mind.
I can't wait to see pictures when you get whatever tattoo you decide on!

A few months ago my mom and I finally agreed to letting me get my first tattoo...I was going to get something behind my ear...And I am SO glad I decided against it.
That is because I am only 15, and I sure as hell don't want to get a tattoo just to get one, which was the reason then...I would have regretted it!

 

I love that fibonacci spiral tat on your neck Amy.

 

Very cool amy!!! The shaved hair that got stuck on your neck in the first pic makes me really itchy. lol

 

Yep that was the inspiration, and yes I really like it fading under the hairline...and having it with dreads makes it even cooler I think.

And this definitely isn't "just" to get one. In fact it's more in my nature not to...it's certainly gonna be the un-inked folk who stand out eventually hehe. But no it's not just to stand out, especially as (oddly enough) I don't really like being looked at! The fact that it's actually possible to keep a piece of art in the skin is too cool to turn down. It's like Nature slipped up or something...like it shouldn't be possible. The body is usually so good at spitting out or dissolving anything that's not meant to be there.

 

Not as itchy as it made me!

 

Yay a person who knows what it is! Thank-you, thank-you It was my first

 

Having dreads makes everything cooler!

Like I said, I can't wait to see your art when it is done!
I love tattoos...on other people.


Hurray defying nature!

 

The shaved bits look good on you. I like it

 

what camera have you got amy? the sidecut looks badass.

 

Lol I like how you make the two sound connected. Ummm some kind of Canon...? With a 4 in it maybe? *shrug* lol

 

Fibonnaci could be the harmony between religion and science, I love that You know what it is and how important it is in the grand scheme.

 

Amy you could definitely rock a shaved head.
I am so jealous (I've always wanted to be able to pull of no hair, because I HATE my hair. I settled on dreads instead =D)
