About my design

by Ellsswhere   
A tattoo design im working on for myself... Its kinda hard to explain if your not into them. One of the painted.

ZooM in on the design

I have it on two colors at the moment, sagestone and chocolate if you wanna check my profile. Will work on any color with some minor adjustments if needed before print. Hope you like it.

i like this cause i love tattoo work and the placement onthe tshirt is perfect where as a chest tattoo would go..nice.



althought im not shure if it needs more color versus a monotone theme..

I love the design and layout but i don't know if i'd get that many tattoo cliches inked on me at once. works as a cool shirt though.

I love the idea, but not the colour. I love COLOUR colours, not bleh colours, and the great part of tattoo flash is usually the fun colours. Heck, I'd love it just in white on a black shirt. I want people to SEE the shirt.

wow i really wish i wasnt so compelled to write this... if you could tell me whats cliche about the most classic tattoos symbols in the tattoo world i would love to hear it. Now heres what really is cliche: anything tribal, panthers climbing, chinese writing, barbed wire,

I heart mom, looney toon characters, ex girlfriends, celtic crap

tattoos are obviously a matter of taste, they are not pop punk bands like fallout boy that once they become popular are suddenly uncool.

Oh and thanks for cluttering the comments with ihearfiend2 is rude!

This makes me sad that the sparrows/coconut/monty python shirt was never resubmitted. :(

I really want to like this but it needs a little work to make the design real. You might reconsider "Imagine" also. I think that if this design isnt good enough for your skin then it isnt good enough for the shirt. I have quite a few tattoos and I take ink seriously. When you made comments about what's cliche, you stooped to their level. While defending old school style you also bashed it. You also crapped on celtic and tribal tattoos. Those tats represent peoples heritage and are only "bad" when used in the wrong way. If this design gets turned down I think you should try another tattoo design but first go chill with some local tattoo artist. Keep the great ideas coming! Notice I dont have the skills to submit!

I think the quality of illustration here is really good, although for a tattoo, I've been seeing either a carp (not crap), star or bluebird (in that order, or combined) on every wannabe hipster since 2003. I understand that these are classic tattoos, which is unfortunate because the mainstream has over used them and destroyed them for the people that are really into them – I'd say wait a few years. The headphones don't help

there are too many clihes here to actually exist in such a small space, so congratualations for finding a way. my only suggestion to you would be to never ever EVER get this scrawled into your chest permanently. i will hunt you down and beat you with a sack of grapefruit.

the headphones look like blood platelets or something. the rays of the sun are too rigid. it looks like you tried to add to many things. chinese characters happen to be a rich part of the chinese culture. please respect that.

I think the actual drawing could use a little work -- some parts seem choppy or uneven, like the sun rays. The concept is good, though.

Interesting that you are designing this for yourself , when I was thinking 'Looks like a shitty tattoo'

Plus , if you are getting it on yourself , would you really want it to be on a shirt for other people to buy?

Not very personal.

i love everything about this except the nautical star, where im from, those stars are associated with the biggest fags around.



i dont love it but instead of calling people the biggest fags around we call them Poo Cats - way to go poo cat - and normally i see tattoos with really clean lines, your live trace or whatever trace program you used must have been set wrong or your scan was too low res

is that the grenade-ish thingy from the new album by those sell outs green day?
Ellsswhere
   Ellsswhere on Mar 06 '06
no... i had to downgrade the quality of the file to get it under 70k... the grenade is a heart grenade... anyways its obvious this sub is a bomb... and no im not actually making this for myself, i was just trying to talk up the design... part of my new test, try and feel out the threadless crowd. Well at any rate go check out my new sub, its the sphinx one.

Personally, I'd like to see a t-shirt design of someone being beaten with a sack of grapefruit...

Welcome to the indie tattoo extraordinaire, whe have everything from nautical stars to twin swallows holding a scroll to the japanese rising sun, all in one confusingly crafted design. All I want to know is where are the pistols/cherries? And are those Xs for straight edge?
