If anyone can help me, Im looking for a gool rendering of a shoebox kustom for a tattoo. Ive been looking all over here and have found a few, but I know one of you art gurus have a *****in one somewhere or have done a cool one. Im not trying to steal your work by any means, but im looking to get a good one tattooed on my left forearm. Any ideas, pictures, or help would be awesome. And just imagine, youre artwork would be forever advertised on me!!! I know anyone would like that. Im looking for something black and white fairly simple. Thanks and have a great weekend!
Someone read me please!!!!!!! haha im going to a car show today at 3 and there are going to be tattoo artists on hand and I figured this would be a great opportunity.
Don't move too fast shainerman, wait till you get 'exactly' what you want, remember, tat's are permanent. I have a lot of ink and every one was well planned, now thirty years later, I have no regrets....there will be plenty of opportunities to do this......
I am not at all suggesting that you should get this inked on your arm! But you did ask to see some drawings, so here is one of mine from a few years ago. Kyle
thanks for the info guys. Strommy I love that drawing, that was the one that stood out to me. I ended up just doing a rendering of an actual picture of Hombres Ruin's car. Hes here on the hamb and to me, its one of the slickest shoeboxes out there. Ill grab a pic of the tattoo in a bit to show you guys. Thanks for the suggestions.
Take some advice from an old hoodlum. Never get ink that can't be covered up, sometimes for long periods of time. Does it get hot where you live, sometimes long sleeves are a *****.
I had Jeff Norwell draw a picture of my 52 (my avatar) and then had my buddy put it on my ribs with Jeff's consent.
Ill get a pic here in a minute. For what its worth, I have quite a few already, so I do appreciate the concern. I Tell everyone the same thing about quality, placement, and patience. I jumped off the deep end years ago, now they're on my neck, hands, knuckles, haha, so this was the first on my left fore arm though, pretty happy with it.
I would just get something Icon to the Shoe, as opposed to a full car...as they always seem a bit wierd when wrapped around a body....how about the front grill symbol, or something of that nature? I thought about doing that on the inside of my arm.
Okay, so heres a pic of what we based it off of... And then heres the tattoo. It looks weird cuz I have A+D ointment all over it, so its shiny and its hard to get a picture that shows it all, without it looking out of proportion, but rest ***ured, its looks better in person. But we gave the car a 2" haircut and made it a little cartoonier, if that makes any sense, haha.
