Jonathan Lwowski Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Hey everyone! I am looking to get a second tattoo. First of all I am not sure where I should put my next tattoo. I was thinking inner bicep. My first tattoo is on my deltoid. I have two main ideas in mind. My first is getting a tattoo of the words "knowledge is power" in binary similar to this tattoo. Also I was thinking of somehow combining an owl which is a symbol of knowledge with an eagle with is the symbol for power. What do you think of these ideas?

If you are willing to travel to Austin check out the Eagles that Steve Byrne, Tony hundahl, and Ben Seibert make. daveborjes 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5637-looking-to-get-second-tattoo/#findComment-103056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to combine the eagle and owl into one tattoo? I would want that in order to symbolize the knowledge is power quote I like Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5637-looking-to-get-second-tattoo/#findComment-103058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would want that in order to symbolize the knowledge is power quote I like The right artist might be able to make it work but I personally prefer to stick to images that traditionally look good as tattoos. You could have the eagle holding a rolled scroll in it's talons maybe with some binary written on it....

Joe Stratford Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I agree with @BrianH just get an eagle or an owl, you know what the meaning is behind it, it doesn't have to be a literal thing to make sense, eagles and owls look great on their own.

CaptainMidnight Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Eagle and owl are both great symbols - and tattoos. Would be very interested to see them in the same piece.

Mick Weder Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Great advice all round already. I have this hunch you'll be wanting to tattoo heavily. Think big and ways that your images will contribute to suiting / sleeve out. A big fuck off eagle in flight (yes I'm biased to this idea, but for a reason...they're cool as fuck), a dragon, which can engulf a whole limb with its body work, scale pattern and shit. Even that cross on your delt, you could incorporate a half sleeve of a Viking theme...warriors, rune tablets, castles... You get the drift. Anyway, just off the top of me head. Your in the right place here for inspiration. Good luck!!

lilazn561 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thats a great idea. I love the ripped skin design. It just looks so cool Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5637-looking-to-get-second-tattoo/#findComment-107981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimmie Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Don't try to cram so much meaning into one design that you sacrifice aesthetic. If an owl represents knowledge, just get a badass owl. If you want more of a personal touch, get it in a style that you really like. I can appreciate a good skin rip that looks like you're seeing into the body and its components. However, I don't think that binary fits into that concept as well as biomech or anatomical. It's too static and looks more like ripped or burned paper in my opinion.

Dumpleton Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 First things first, decide on the style of tattoo you want, find your favourite artist to do the job, book in a consultation tell your chosen artist your ideas and show them some good reference material that you found at your local library "do some solid research for reference" and walk away feeling like you have just won lotto. If you put in extra effort finding good quality reference material "not other peoples tattoos" your chosen artist will appreciate that and I am sure the end result will be what you are trying to achieve.

commonwealthvirginia Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I would recommend going with what you think is the best. Tattoo should be something you would not regret, therefore they should have deep level of personal connection (imo). There are many databases online that you can get inspired from. For example, you can search tumblr or pintrest for inspiration. You can even search devianart for more artistic inspiration. Another website I know is tattoosomfg.com It's just easy browsing and they don't require you to register with their site which makes it more convenient. Good luck!

Dustingormley Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I wish more people would post what they ended up getting. I'd love to see people from here influence the general public into getting a good solid tattoo. It's kinda like getting a healed picture tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/5637-looking-to-get-second-tattoo/#findComment-112160 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L2DB Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 neither am I but owl and eagle in same tattoo project seems interesting Eagle and owl are both great symbols - and tattoos. Would be very interested to see them in the same piece. These. Provided your artist can make it look right. As a pretty new lurker/poster on this site, the traditional tattoos are the best tattoos vibe is pretty strong. IMO.
