Can you post a picture of your tattoo?

I've got a Decepticon insignia on my left shoulder.

I wanted one, tribal-style, on my front shoulder-blade...or nice little ones incorporated into an ankle-band with some barbed-wire....

No, considering I am not legally old enough.
But I intend to get Sideswipe on my back.

Back when I was in college, I used to do some side-work for a tattoo shop, designing templates for people and making a few bucks for those designs...a friend of mine asked me to do a robot with blood tears for his back....so I used one of my own Transformer designs for the "robot".....

....so there is a 37 yr old man running around with a fembot of my design on his body... She ever wears a teeny tiny Decepticon insignia on her chest...

So, how much did you make?

BTw, genius idea.

It depends on the size and complexity of the designs requested...I have made as little as $10 to as much as $200 for designs...and even more still if you want yer motorcycle tank and fenders to match yer body ink...

I need verification! (Sound familiar?)
Anyway, I can't imagine $10, seems like a small tatoo, correct?

yeah..the smaller designs are cheap, since the "driller" can only get away with charging $40 to $50 for his/her work

As for financial verification, I can't do that...I get paid CASH...under the table...and it is always gone before I make it....thus is the way of the world!

'Round here the lowest you get is $70.00.
And, I feel the pain. Especially since my only income comes from saving across time.
no job for a bit, till I can drive, at the most.

Yer East-Coast...that makes sense...it is always cheaper out here than it is out there...for everything!

But, we get the first grabs at new cars being shipped in..both Import and otherwise.
(We also get Ferrari, Lotus, and the like....so I can easily bomb them.)

Yeah, maybe so....but I don't like Ferraris much...Lotus I do though...Would never buy one, even if I had money to throw away...there is plenty of nice Domestic cars worth throwing money at to blow the doors off any of those imports on a quarter-mile track!

Unfortunatly Lotus designed the new Vettes...
I remember I saw a 350Z and the Tranny knocked out after the burnout at the Drags.

As long as they just designed the body and left the rest of R&D to Americans..this I can deal with!

Take me? Like race me? Oh, dear! You sure you wanna do that? I'd crush you! I'd take yer doors for sure!

I wish I could find some decent temporary ones of transformers. I'd wear them to Botcon.

I had seen some photos of TF tattoos on some of the you tube videos from last years Botcon. Some were pretty awesome. I would still like to see photos.

My boyfriend designed me a TM2 BW Megatron to go on my shoulder =) I luffs it.

But I'm not 18 til next April and even then I might wait a few years. Do you know if I could ask someone at a tattoo parlour to turn the design into a temp for me to see what it looks like?
