I know this design isn't within a 16x16 inch area but maybe if it gets enough attention we can make it happen! Click here for a detail. Thanks!
ps. The banner says "For My Love" in Spanish.

sirensrising on Jun 11 '07

That's awesome! Although I could do without the bottom one, I think, it just looks too random. $5!

N2O on Jun 11 '07

Very cool 5

SinisterNights on Jun 11 '07

Nice... but I would never wear it!

deewill24 on Jun 11 '07

nice!!

petpenguin on Jun 11 '07

i like the concept of how people put random but cliche tatoos all over them...but i wouldnt personally wear it.

bad_nobe on Jun 11 '07

nice work...

sudanesepooch on Jun 11 '07

the idea of cliche tattoos is bad for skin as well as shirt designs.

fatheed on Jun 11 '07

Awesome work.

eloquacious on Jun 11 '07

shhh, i love cliche tattoos, and love them even more on shirts. 5$

choco.roco on Jun 11 '07

atwisk on Jun 11 '07

I like it with just the dagger, scroll and roses. You don't need all the other tatts

thunderpeel on Jun 11 '07

GoldenWasp on Jun 11 '07

really cool artwork

Alpha Ryan on Jun 11 '07

I love this. There's a company that does something similar http://www.sleevesclothing.com/

steviec on Jun 11 '07

Someone please correct me, but this seems to be using 6...maybe 7 different colours.

valorandvellum on Jun 11 '07

I don't know if I would buy this for myself, but the artwork is fantastic and I love the textured effect! Really nice work here!

BrandonB11 on Jun 11 '07

pickledbib on Jun 11 '07

(badababa)

waltponce on Jun 12 '07

I love it! Don't listen to Sudanesepooch, he's just angry that he looks like a chick and nobody ever likes his designs! Cliche tattoos are fun. And even if you don't like them you can be a little more insightful and take this is satire. How easily changeable is this shirt? How easily changeable are tattoo trends. Oh, how many friends I lost to the great tribal armband phase of the 90's!

lofty softy on Jun 12 '07

thanks for writing, everyone. the design is in 5 colors: really dark blue, blue, red, green, and gold. if it looks like there are more it's just a product of major half-tone action. here's a working link to the detail. thanks folks!

BubuSam on Jun 12 '07

Amazing!!

exoticrobotic on Jun 12 '07

wow thats cool $5

kooky love on Jun 12 '07

GREAT $5

FRICKINAWESOME on Jun 12 '07

This is a fantastic tee design. At last i can show off my love for cheesy cliche tatoos without damaging my skin and ability to find a decent job for life! 4$

trindli on Jun 12 '07

really nice, but I also would drop the puma, its too big for me compared with the other tattoos

cutiewabooty on Jun 12 '07

if i did have a cliche tat
as big as that, i would have it on my back
i don't think it's very unisex
if it's on the front like that
capisce?

cutiewabooty on Jun 12 '07

oh but 5 and i like the other tats
and the bird should be relocated to the
lower hip region
that's hott

orillese on Jun 12 '07

I think it's too chicano stereotype... but maybe that's just me... =/

erin_everlasting on Jun 12 '07

looks awful across boobs. i dont think i'd wear this, however ur graphics r pretty awesome.

reetzy_chick on Jun 12 '07

I am all over this for sure$5

PolarVrtX on Jun 12 '07

This is really awesome! I want! $5 all the way

harpo25 on Jun 12 '07

this would be even more hot when it was all over the shirt like the new select of monday!

chelly on Jun 12 '07

ooooooh neat

vixyish on Jun 12 '07

That's some AMAZING halftone action there.

theclinger on Jun 12 '07

i've seen shirts like this before... the artwork looks genuine. not bad.

FlicketySplit on Jun 12 '07

VIVA LA 35MM!

Phoenix4224 on Jun 12 '07

i've always wanted to start a line of tshirts that imitate tattoos like this. i hate you for beating me to it. and i love you for doing it anyway. ;)

imtheorangeblender on Jun 12 '07

I like the spanish... it gives the tattoos deeper meaning for those who actually understand it.5

mezo on Jun 12 '07

Since when did tattoo flash, like pictured above, go from being traditional to being cliche? Great work, and astounding halftone! You nailed that old style perfectly. I am not totally sold on the layout of the elements but I still love this. I also wish there were a sacred heart with a mom or dad banner. 4

myhearts_desire on Jun 12 '07

Seems like either the crown or the panther needs to go.. it makes the shirt look so cluttered and awkward from the front. Despite that I'm giving it a $5 because this shirt could go places!

whatarebirds on Jun 12 '07

Love it. Probably don't need the blue tiger, though.

karenlynn79 on Jun 12 '07

gorgeous! would buy 5$

micabebecca on Jun 13 '07

i am not so keen on the blue panther although it does of course go with the old school tattoos.
without the panther i say $5.

redlinewk on Jun 13 '07

This has been done before and I don't feel like being beaten by bikers, so I will pass.

bonedaddy on Jun 13 '07

This is a very nice color composition.
Hard to get that feel without a great effort.

Good job.

bedpan on Jun 13 '07

yeah, don't they kinda already do this w/ those sleeves shirts a ton of kinda lame-o people wear?

artfisch on Jun 13 '07

Ain't nothing like the real thing.. both real tattoos and tattoo artists. and though I think your artwork is pretty there is something about it I don't dig.
I think Threadless could bank off a tattoo influnced shirt. The sleeve shirts that I've seen on the internet are for ridiculous amounts of money.

chellefish on Jun 13 '07

a little too cluttered

Happymix on Jun 13 '07

Cluttered, yet I love it.

$5

threadlessisOK on Jun 14 '07

this is rather hot. 5$ sir

iliveinyourhouse on Jun 14 '07

i think the spanish is cool.
by the way, i really liked your key design, i bought it.

5$

Verbshark on Jun 14 '07

Amazing. Only thing missing is a butt hat.

Edword on Jun 15 '07

nice vintage tattoo flash!!

jynnantonnyx on Jun 16 '07

I have no idea why I love this :)

__snowshoe on Jun 16 '07

hmm, i dunno. i mean it's neat but the first thing that came to mind was tattoo flash. perhaps that was the intent?

the images are nice though. i would like the chest piece just ever so slightly lower.

Simon Cowell on Jun 16 '07

I love this design, but I don't know how practical it is.
This would be extremely hard to print. Not only does it wrap around, but it also has a sleeve print and TINY little halftones that would prove very difficult to print. I give this a high score, but I really see no way of this ever being printed as is.

elbee on Jun 16 '07

tattoo shirts make me sad

Amadaeus on Jun 16 '07

Perfect for those how hate those ridiculous tatoo's.

FamilyForceJosh on Jun 16 '07

WOW!!
i love this
$5

Malcolm Man on Jun 16 '07

I would wear this because I'm a tattoo wanna be, meaning that I've always wanted them but have always been too afraid to get them.

hespestos on Jun 17 '07

I love this, but its missing the most cliche tattoo of all- some sort of absurd silly little tattoo, like a butterfly, at the lower back of the girly tees.

beautifullybroken323 on Jun 17 '07

beautifully, but too much work.

tiramel on Jun 17 '07

i only wear tattoos on my skin. excellenttho

urshefit on Jun 18 '07

Sorry, not feeling this one, cosidering you can lift clasic tatt images from anywhere onthe net anymore... just doesn't sing to me any more than something made out of clip art
