DC Comics Tattoos

[Nightwng1]

Hey guys!

 

So, this weekend, I'm going in for my second tattoo. Im contemplating getting Kyle Rayner's Green Lantern ring tattooed on my finger. Any opinions? Should I get something else?

 

I got my first one done in August and I love it. Heres a pic....Im sure you guys will like it.

 

 

I wanna get a Nightwing tattoo, I just dont know what to get of him. Any ideas?

 

Thanks!!!

I really wouldn't recommend getting a ring tattoo for two reasons. 1) Much as it sucks, if you go on job interviews and what not, a tattoo on your hand will likely give off a negative impression to certain employers. and 2) Ring tattoos fade pretty quickly, since the skin on your hand is constantly regenerating.

 

I have two DC tattoos myself, both based on alex ross' artwork. The Flash and Green Lantern. Here's GL:

Here is my back! I have the Nightwing emblem on my arm with my nickname across it i dont have pictures of it

Here's mine.

It's Jacks chest tattoo with Kanji of my daughters initials in the center.

WoW!! Glad to see Im not the only one with a Starman tattoo. So, I thought about it and I gotta say....Im not gonna do the ring tattoo. Eventually, I'll get Kyles symbol, but I know what Im gonna do. On my inner arm, Im gonna get the the T part of the Nightwing logo (the bird shape). Ive been contemplating that for a long time now, so I just figure its time to do it.

 

Thanks for the advice, all!

Well, with the name, sig, and avatar tat and hand painted jacket can you tell I'm obsessed? @lol@

god, that jacket's beautiful. Im SO impressed with that, bro. Amazing work.

 

Mind if I ask how you did it?

 

For me, Nightwing and Starman have been my 2 favorite heroes for a long time now. I was 13 when Jack came out and I thought he was so cool. My dad passed away this past October. Re-reading Starman struck a chord it never did before. It really helped get me thru my father's death. I noticed so many similarities between me and my dad's relation ship and Jack and Ted's. I had the tattoo before my dads death, but after it, it took on a whole new meaning.

Yeah, Jack's the man.

I was around 23 at the time the series started and I saw alot of me in Jack.

Same tastes and viewpoints.

He had the kind of father-son relationship I wish I had.

We matured together.

The series ended around the time my daughter was born, and that meant alot to me, the way it ended. Jack growing up and becoming a man, for Teddy. Same for me and my Rahne. Kinda paralleled my journey, from know-it-all smart-@$$ to responsible adult. Before that I loved comics, but never really connected with any characters, before or after, like I did with Jack.

 

As for the jacket, just acrylic paint, bachelors degree in art, and about 3 days.

for a nightwing tattoo id sugest this picture.

just no background really. have like the outline of the face with the eye and all of nightwing. its the cover to nightwing #93. i always liked how the batarang (nightarang) was place in the eye of whats suppose to be a moon buts really a face.

 

the only tattoo i would consider getting for me would be hal's green lantern ring my finger. and maybe the symbol oh my arm or something.

I admire you guys for having the guts to even get a Tattoo lol! If I ever decdied to get one it would be on my back because that way I'd hardly see it my self nor would anyone else

Great post man, thanks for sharing that. As a diehard Jack and Starman fan, these words ring true with me too. The tats, the jacket, I love it!
