I think hubby is finally gonna let me get my mickey. Well, he doesn't really care per se, it's just hard to get a babysitter so that you can get a tattoo done. That and my last babysitter I no longer trust. My birthday, as you can see on the counter, is soon...the 28th. It's a thursday, but maybe for the weekend he'll get someone to watch the kiddies and we'll go get my mickey. I took several pics of the tattoo I do have, but I gotta tell ya, it was damn hard to do. It's on my left ankle. It's hard to twist your leg around to get a damn pic. Then resizing to get around the right size. Also, my camera isn't doing so well and had to adjust so you could 'see' the design. No, it's not very well drawn, but it was free and the guy was just learning and I volunteered to be the guinea pig. It's supposed to be a ying yang....One side white tiger black stripes, One side black panther white stripes(highlights). What it ended up was 2 tigers together in the circle. As you'll see, there's no real way to fix it, but that's ok, I actually like it. It's time for shorts and anklets, so I get to show it off...for people who actually notice things. I'll be posting the mickey graphic too. May have to redo it if the transparency craps up the pic. I printed it out and the size it is, is about 2-2 ½". It will be just above my right ankle. I want it done in outline really. I know you can't really do white in the ink, your skin absorbs it pretty fast. So the color I want to do it in is that green/basic ink color. That green they used to do before they had colors. I will be going into a shop or two to make sure whatever artist I choose will be able to either free-hand accurately or be willing to trace him. I do not want a fucked up mickey. It took me years to find the exact fantasia/sorcerer mickey I wanted. I also want the musical sheet with the notes on it too. The whole pic.
Here goes...first pic is left size it was taken, but 'warmified' it and did some highlight so the design would stick out like it does when I see it...second pic is roughly the size it actually is, and yes my skin is tanner than it should be, think ghost white...3rd pic is the mickey graphic I want for my tattoo. Roughly the size I want too. I judged this by using my printed out mickey, held it up to the screen over the one in the program and adjusted till it looked right. For some reason the program prints smaller than actual size on the screen. My ruler says mickey will be @2 ½"Hx2"W...without further ado, the pics: First pic removed, I didn't like it.
