Anyway, he's the man for the job without doubt. I probably prefer the classical Roman art style but with the ancient greek theme. Tattoo or not, it's a cool bit of art and culture to me. Love reading about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bet you can peel a orange in your pocket Feels like a waste when two grand would send me back to the mountains actually being the person I want to be rather than just pretending to be with showy tattoos. I don't eat oranges....... throwing the peel away feels like waste. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You either like them or you don't If you like them you get them unless a tad scared Max, you clearly don't understand me but I'll entertain this for a moment longer. Given that I'm not a wealthy man, I would rather spend two thousand pounds plus on actually doing shit that defines me, rather than spend it on art work that tells everyone what man I want to be but aren't because I'd preferred to spend the money on telling them than actually doing it. Christ, you're hard work. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

After a lot of thought I came up with the perfect piece for me, a sprawling scene of various ancient Greek mythological figures, Artemis, Orion & Poseidon with potential to add more. One day if ever I have more money than sense. Sounds great ,I like that idea ,I would go for Hestia ,not exciting but a good fit for me . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I liked about the theme, being able to tailor it to be personal. The mythology is so rich. A soldier might want Aries and Athena, a builder/creator might want Hephaestus or Prometheus and a 'live in the moment' partyer Dionysus. Loads of potential for background and filling too, Artemis could have hounds and forest, Poseidon wild horses or crashing waves etc. I liked the idea of an Aphrodite/Adonis scene too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That tat is the preamble to the constitution not the declaration of independence. My bad... But as I understand it. Insure as in insurance is the correct wording/spelling.

jetro 5,349 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 You have to admire the craftsmanship of the artists, also admire the person who got it done. One of the most painful places to get tattooed on the body, the ribs. You thinking of getting some work done. It can get very addictive one you start. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
