A tattoo for Spiffo

I think you should keep the flashing eye.

I'm sure there's a body modifier out there who will be able to make it happen.
 
The Different World one in Shannow's post is awesome. The one you like would be better with the swirly thing than without, but I have no idea about how it would work without the background... Jordan... you said you had seen it done?
 
OK, I've toyed around with it and decided to keep the black background. The reason I didn't want it was because I didn't want there to be a big black square on my arm... but what about a big black circle? Could work. Then I could have other stuff around it later.

Sounds like a plan, it does.
 
It would sort of work in a circle, but Eddie's left eye (from Eddie's perspective) is in near the middle of the square, and central to the swirls.

So circular would be be an enlargement of the offset swirls, with Eddie being offset, or the swirls being eccentric to the circle with Eddie centred. Does that make sense ?

Could do him with the swirls, leaving off the square, and centre things up with a TARDIS on his right (once again from Eddie's perspective).

Was serious on the first part, and only half joking on the second. I think time lord Eddie and a TARDIS would be interesting.
 
Ignore the background Spiff, just go with Eddie, your skin will be the background, and I Know it'll turn out sweet, I have been getting tattooed for a fucking long time now, and I know a good artist will make it work just like you want it too, I would reccomend my tattoist mate, but he is backed up about 4 weeks

*EDIT* Just looked at the Can I play with Madness pic, I wanted that way back when I started getting tattooed, but the amount of detail in it, it has to be pretty fucking big
 
Shannow, there is a Tardis on the Wasted Years cover, so it would work thematically... not sure if I want one on my flesh though. :)
 
And yeah, I think you're right Southy. I'll just tell the tattoo dude that as long as the picture is accurate he can do whatever else he wants. He'll know what he's doing - he should for $500. :)

For my second or third tattoo I'm thinking of a bit from the cover of the Number of the Beast single - the devil's head in Eddie's hand (won't worry about having Eddie in it). Chuck that on the other arm, perhaps.

Fuck you had me looking there. Somewhere in time I see one. Only fitting that Bruce owns a Dalek, isn't it ?

Have you noticed that he doesn't age ????

Your final tat idea seems pretty good.
 
There's definitely one on the Wasted Years cover.

Coming out of the wormhole thing.

Agree with this. Your arm will be the background, and a good artist will be able to do the swirl well with shading. You can do some cool things with grey wash and shading in tattoos.
 
I'm looking at going to Wild at Heart in the city. Heard some good things about them and the work of theirs that I've seen looks good.
