Design me a bass clef tatoo!

peaveyuser · #1 01-30-2008, 08:04 PM

Well I've decided to get a tatoo, and I want it to be a bass clef, but want it a bit more original than a normal clef, I want it to be a bit unique.

So far this is what I got as ideas. BTW it's just the design of these ones not the colours.

Of course if you can design me something unique I insist on incorporating different designs and such

Thank you guys!!

also this one is the file but way too small in it

YOU should design it.

It sounds harder than it is, but my thoughts are, if you want something reflective of you (I'm assuming that's into consideration while permanently attaching art to your body) but you should toss together some ideas.

Most (if not all) of the bass clef tattoos I've seen, I would not personally get, no offense to those who have them. I don't think the bass clef is that ascetically pleasing. But I think incorporating it into another tattoo or another idea would be interesting. Maybe something else that interests you.

Thats what I wnat to do, but to brainstorm i'd like to have some ideas to throw around.

Plus I'm not that good of an artist

Thing is I want something simple that I won't regret after and isn't too tacky. My friend drew me this kickass skull with the clef on it and with flames in the back. While it was awesome I couldn't help but think
A) It's a bit too over the top and I'd probably find it stupid when older, or grow tired of it
B) skulls are over done.

What I was thinking is a bass cleff, with a snake as the main part (curve, snake head being the big dot it starts on) and two black pearls as the dots.

But that may also be a bit over the top.

So maybe just have a snakeskin design clef and two black pearls as the dots.

Or have a swirl design and make it have kind of razor sharp edges, so it looks slick.

I think that's a better approach though: Come up with a ton of ideas, pick a favorite or two and find someone to draw it. If you come to someone with "I'd like this drawn" instead of "come up with an idea for me" you're likely to get more results.

I think skulls are awesome because they're overdone.

yeah, that'd be a really good one. where you wanting to put it peavey?

Marcus Johnson · #17 01-31-2008, 09:12 AM

I always thought it would be cool to tattoo the main shape of the bass clef around the cartilage of your left ear, and then pierce two studs in for the little dots.

left arm, somewhere between the shoulder-elbow.

I think I have some more ideas.

Could anybody photoshop

A) a (darkish) blue bass clef in a black Spade
B) same thing but bass clef swirl instead of single clef.

Thanks!
