Doozer Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Hello everyone! I have my appointment on Thursday for my very first tattoo and I couldn't be more excited about it! I'm getting text that reads 'i believe' in alienese (the language from the show futurama). I drew up the design myself and was just wanting some input from tattoo enthusiasts and artist about if it would translate into a good tattoo. The big 'm' looking symbol is 'i' and i incorporated 'believe' into the curvature. I plan on getting it on my inner arm (bicep). Thank you!

TrixieFaux Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 hm....after being around this forum for a while, as well as checking out Dermagraphique: A Tattoo Critique fairly regularly, I have come to realize that a couple of my first tattoos were, well, not what they could have been. I am not regretful exactly, I like all my tattoos, but it's like: if I knew then what I know now...I might have done a couple things differently. If I were you I would look around at the galleries and think about it some more but that's just one person's input. There are a lot of cooler looking tattoo ideas out there in my opinion. Totally up to you and if one day down the road you're not crazy about it any more you could always get it covered or add other things around it and chalk it up to experience.

DJDeepFried Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Get what you dig. But since you asked for advice... I think it's a cool idea -- but I would consider a less literal, more graphic design. For example: a cool alien/robot head with a flying saucer or a rocket ship and stars and planets all around. You could still do the text: "I Believe" in a banner in English or "alienese" or both. I'd be stoked to have this on my arm (without the "Futurama" logo): slayer9019 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2449-new-to-lst-and-proud-to-be-part-of-the-new-community/#findComment-40599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Up to you, its your body but as you have not got the tattoo yet and are asking ill be honest, i think it will be a shit tattoo. Oh Welcome BTW Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2449-new-to-lst-and-proud-to-be-part-of-the-new-community/#findComment-40605 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffa Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 There's a part of me that somewhat agrees with @bulldog and then there's a part of me that thinks its awesome!! At the end of the day, as @Dan S said, it's your body and if it's what you what then go for it. It's ok for tattoos not to have some deep and solemn meaning and just be a bit of fun Oh, and welcome to LST! slayer9019 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2449-new-to-lst-and-proud-to-be-part-of-the-new-community/#findComment-40637 Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer9019 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 From my personal experience get what you think looks good and put no more thought into it. If you force something out of a tattoo it will be "exactly what you asked for but not what you wanted".
