Prince Tattoo

Hi guys,

like everyone else here, and people with ears, I'm a huge prince fan! I am very interested in getting a portrait tattoo of his purpleness on my shoulder. I'm looking for the perfect photo to use for it. Please post your fave photo of him or a link to the photo would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone!

A full fledged portrait of Prince?? on your body forever and ever???
Do you have a child? That would be much better. Or your mom? Anyone.

How about a lyric from your fave Prince song?

Be careful; this could be the end result...




Now wouldn't you rather a nice simple symbol? nod

This is why u do your reasearch and get good tattoo artists skilled in portraits. Prince is a musical legend that embodies creativity, sex, and individualism. It's more significant than just I like purple rain...

Well, I'm not advising you AGAINST a portrait (though I wouldn't do it myself), I'm just saying that you have to be careful, because even artists skilled in portrait work may not do what you're hoping for.

Just some insight; because you have to bare it for the rest of your life.

Stick with a picture of him pre 1996 then. He might have embodied that back then, but Larry performed an exorcism.

^^That doesn't look bad, if you're comfortable with it. How big of a tattoo are wanting to get?
