A tattoo for Spiffo

[Spiff]

OK, I'm extremely tempted to go with a head & shoulders (and maybe half the torso) shot of Eddie on the Stranger in a Strange Land cover. I think it'd look tops. If I had any webspace or could be bothered signing up to one of those freebie image-hosting sites I'd post a link of the size I'm looking at. Just find the pic (this one will do) and picture it cut off around where the bottom of the end of his sleeve ends, if that makes sense. No background of course.

Surely that's doable.

I prefer Somewhere In Time Eddie....never been much of a fan of the song Stranger In A Strange Land, so I wouldn't lean towards that guy personally.

My next tattoo will possibly be a Maiden one as well.

 

[Goreripper]

I have never heard of that film... it looks like one I would like.

You can tell that by the cover art?

 

[Stonewall]

yep, war films made in the 60s or 70s often float my boat.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

It's true, the cover art for half of his DVD collection looks like it could be a poster for the same film.

 

[Spiff]

This is from the 50s. Will that do?

And there isn't really much fighting in it at all.

 

[Stonewall]

yeah, 50's is ok... and the fighting isn't the main attraction. My preference are WW2 theme made in 60s and 70s, but my fav war movies are The Eagle Has Landed, Where Eagles Dare, Gallipoli, Enigma.

 

[Spiff]

Right, so it's either gonna be Stranger in a Strange Land or this one (without Union Jack). Or should I just go for something simple to start off with and go with the Brave New World Eddie?

Me wants an Eddie on my arm! NOW!

Recommendations please.

 

[Stonewall]

That's pretty cool, he has an apple core in his rib cage and his skull has fire in it.

 

[Spiff]

And the baby has long toenails.

BNW Eddie is pretty good for a first tatt, and you can extend on it as a tatt, because it is ghostly. But Stranger is a good one too

 

[Spiff]

Should they have an issue with the Stranger one, detail-wise, if I go for the head & shoulders? I'd be happy with the size to be from the top of my arm to just above the elbow - I have a mole an inch or two above the elbow which I wouldn't want touched.

Decided to wait for your approval before going in to chat with them about the Stranger one - your opinion is the one I respect the most about this, Brother Dan.

Which Wild at Heart studio have you been to - Charlotte Street or Queen Street? The two times I've been to the Queen Street one I haven't received the answers I wanted, so I might pop into Charlotte Street next time.

I have never had work done at either shop mate, you just get to know people and place being in and around the scene. As for the size thing, if it goes the top half of your sleeve, I don't think it would be too bad mate, really depends if the artist can put the amount of detail you want into it, But I think it could be done, it isn't the most technical of all the eddies

 

[Spiff]

Okie doke.

Silly me, making assumptions.

You should get a tattoo of a B on your chest, so people know your true identity of Bridge Man

 

[Goreripper]

Someone needs to dig up that thread!

 

[phlogiston]

You could get the band done, and hope for quality work like this:

And if you want a battle jacket and all the patches, but don't want to spend the money? Here's your solution!

Eww.

I always thought the SSOASS Eddie would make a good tattoo as he is just kinda floating there. Pity it isn't one of my fav albums though.

 

[Spiff]

Not going with an Eddie now, came up with a top idea this morning on the way to the bus. It's gonna rawk.

Will post a photo once it's done.

 

[Southy]

Well make sure you stick a picture up mate
