Hi everyone :)

Hey everyone. I found this forum on google and it looks interesting.

I'm from switzerland and about to get my first tattoo. I joined this forum because I hope to find some ideas for a design/motive for my first tattoo.

Is there a thread where I can ask for motive-suggestions? :)

[CaptCanada]

Switzerland you say? Filip Leu comes to mind, but maybe that's just me. ;) welcome aboard

Welcome, Heck54. This thread might help: http://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/tattoo-advice/8-choosing-your-first-tattoo.html

hm doesn't really look like a thread where I can post questions.

The 10 Post limit to post a thread is a little bit annoying :)

Due to the fact that I'm new to Tattoos there is no conversation I can take part to raise my postcount. And I don't want to post 10 senseless posts in the offtopic section ;) In my opinion the forum should have pinned "general-questions" threads for newbies (I can't find one)

I'm looking for ideas for a Tribal/blackngrey Tattoo ( in other words: Tribal with Shadows) placed on my chest to cover a mark/spot. But as long as I can't create a thread, it's impossible for me to ask :)

Last Sparrow Tattoo - Newbie Guidelines

General guidelines there, intros here, and there are a number of threads on the boards that relate to what kind of tattoo/motif to get. Browse a bit and chime in on one, I'm sure you'll get some answers.

Ask your question here, just as easy! And just because you're "new to tattoos" doesn't mean you can't take part. Welcome!

And I don't want to post 10 senseless posts in the offtopic section ;)

We absolutely love you for not doing this! You can ask all the questions you want right here in this thread and you will most likely get great answers from other members with extensive tattoo knowledge.

thx for the friendly answers, I see that this is a very active forum :) I like it

I'm sorry for all grammar mistakes (english isn't my native language :p )

Ok, so I post my main question in this thread:

As I mentioned I've planned to get my first Tattoo. The reason why I want a Tattoo is a bit different compared with other people I guess. I'm actually not the kind of person whos getting tattoos even I really like them (not all sort of tattoos ofc). The reason why I want to get a Tattoo is to cover a ugly-looking but harmless spot/mark (5*10cm) on my chest and some small scars. Some people might tell me now that this is a wrong motivation for getting a tattoo and I do agree with them partly but not completly. I had been thinking about this for 2 years and I came to the decision that I prefer getting a goodlooking tattoo instead of having a terrible chest. So the decision that I want this tattoo is 100% considered and definitly ;)

I've already chosen the place where I'd like to get my tattoo: Tattoo - Giahi - EN

But before I go there I want to prepare myself (having an idea what I want) and I hope that you can help me ;)

http://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/f7fe48-1361474964.jpg This is a picture of the chest. The black part is the part where I'd like to have the tattoo (not exact, just roughly ofcourse). The Red area is the mark/spot. The blue points are the scars.

I've been looking through thousands of tattoo websites for 2 weeks and I came to the decision that I like most the Tribal ones, especially the black and grey tribals (I dont know If you can name them this way).

For example: http://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/596021-1361475206.jpg or http://www.bilder-upload.eu/upload/c76080-1361475392.jpg

In my case, the most important thing is that my mark and my scars get covered. I think with a Tattoo as showed in the last 2 pictures it would be easy to cover small scars. The problem is, that it wont cover the big mark/spot. I assume that for the mark/spot I need colour.

So my idea is actually that the Tattoo should be kind of splitted in 2 parts (with a transition ofcourse). The upper part should be something as showed in the pictures and the bottom part should be the same style but covering the mark/spot (maybe a tribal with a background? I have no idea :) ).

Do you have any idea for me to master this? I'm a really not creative person and I'd really like to get some inputs from creative people :) Thank you very much

Hi. I joined this forum because I hope to find some ideas for a design/motive for my next tattoo.

I'm from Russia, but I live and study in China. In China a lot of good masters, but I want to try something different and I want to find fresh ideas here.
