Rate my tattoo sketch [refined sketch edit] I'm thinking that maybe it's time to get some ink.
My wife's looking to get her 4th tat...my best friend just got his first (nice but almost a half-sleeve...hope he doesn't regret it later!)...and my niece wants one for her 16th bday.
So I figure...why the hell NOT?
But what do I get? I was thinking of some kind of Mayan glyph design, then I was thinking of my kids' names, THEN I got the idea to make a -inspired design that incorporates my kids' initials (R, G & C).
Check out what I did, and let me know what you all think;
How's about we use a scale to rate it, from 1 to 5.
1 = lame and 5 = awesome

I'd respect a yoda tattoo more, seriously. | |

...I thought I was being clever.
So you don't like the symbol in general, or the design itself? By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

oo! I actually think that's a very cool design! great job. My one thought about it though...do you think it puts Prince and your kids on the same level of importance?
"not a fan" yeah...ok | |

I kind'a was thinking of it as a celebration of my fandom by using the initials of the three most important people in my life.
It's open for discussion. I'm 50/50 about it (50% love it, 50% uncertain) so I'm looking for feedback.

Something about the permanence of it, is why I'm feeling out the general consensus.
You're right though, if I really, really like it, then why should it matter? By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Meh, if you get sick of it you can get it lasered off. I mean, unless you get it the size of your entire back.
I hate when people ask the meaning behind all my tattoos. I just tell them it means I like tattoos. | |

I really dislike it, BUT it had nothing to do with thre craftsmanship or design.
I just really don't like Prince-themed tats, especially symbols or his face or likeness. For some reason I cirnge at them.
But, that's for me to deal with.
If you like it I would say ignore folks like me. You're a real fucker. You act like you own this place--ParanoidAndroid <-- about as witty as this princess gets! I hope everyone pays more attention to Sags posts--sweething Jesus weeps | |

I support you getting whatever you want!
I, also, think Prince is a tool these days, so would say forget the fan shit, but that's just me. | |

not everyone can sport a scooby tat the way you can, dear | |

OK, so the majority says; "Do it if u like it", the next group says; "nice", minority says; "lame".
I think that I can live with that. Now...Jersey (and even Sags) brought up a valid point. Do I really want a fan symbol on me?
Now I need to think about that one.
My next choice is a Quetxalcoatl image that I found online;
I like that one alot. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

OKAY EVERYONE.
I appreciate the input and all of your opinions.
However, the matter is settled.
I showed it to the "hot" girl in the office, and she LOVED it. Told me I should get it on my shoulder.
Done. Case closed. Finito. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

THIS is f*cking AWESOME !
We do a trance posture ritual at least 2 times a year to give/reciece Quetxalcoatl gifts/energy
I would never just go to a tatt parlor and have work done ... Mine was done in sacred ritual ( not open to public ) space with thought and intention ...

I like your sketch. I would not personally get something like that but it's cool. I might question how Prince ties together all of your children or if he is anywhere near as important to be included with them, but it still does not jump out at me as ridiculous or lame.
I think the artist needs to clean it up from your draft, but you probably already know that. My Legacy

I love the Myan-ish dragon drawing... Quetxalcoatl image is NICE!
Hate the first one... but I am a picky person when it comes to drawings/tats.

I wasn't trying to be rude but yes, it's lame. Just trying to save you embarrassment later on!
The Mexican one on the other hand is quite cool! | |

Yeah... I like my "monogram" because it's personal, but the Quetxalcoatl is f*cking COOL.
Maybe I'll get both!
A ritual? Really? In what type of venue? By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |

Thanks! Yeah, I did that here in the office with a pen. I would clean it up myself before presenting it. By St. Boogar and all the saints at the backside door of Purgatory! | |
