Isotope Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm from Florida. Born and raised, there my first 23 years of life. God I miss those afternoon thunderstorms. Huge thunderheads, violent lightening and thunder, rain so hard it hurt. Do you guys have any examples of really strong thunderstorms in tattoos? I'm pretty much a bright/bold/traditional guy... graybones 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6310-thunderstorm-tattoos/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwar Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 What about clouds and lightning to represent..... clouds and lightning? :cool: If I were you I'd consult a tattooer and tell him/her that you want a tattoo with a thunderstorm theme. Simple as that. Most important thing is to find the right tattooer for the job if you ask me. Plenty of talent in Austin though, so that shouldn't be a problem for you. Come to think of it, my fellow LSTer @Flo Ania has an awesome tattoo with clouds and lightning.

Isotope Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Love this! Thanks @Iwar ! That's exactly what I'm looking for: Thunder and lightening in tattoo form. I've admittedly seen very few examples. This is definitely awesome!

beez Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I really like lightning in tattoos. It's a feature I've noticed myself noticing more and more. Gotta get some on me!

Synesthesia Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I have a skull with some storm clouds/lightning, by Brian Via: sighthound, joakim urma, Isotope and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6310-thunderstorm-tattoos/#findComment-115523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
joakim urma Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Dark clouds and lightning bolts complements eachother so well! I would love to see a simple theme like that being given to tattooers with really energetic styles and see what they come up with. Of the top of my head I think Daniele Hoang, El Monga, Troy Denning, Javi Castano and Michael Aul would make very cool and distinct tattoos based on the idea.

AverageJer Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I love thunderstorms too. Plenty of them here in Minnesota but maybe not as much as Florida. I've seen some tattoos on instagram with clouds and lightning around a lighthouse recently. My first thought when I read your post was that something like this would look best around another image such as a ship or a lighthouse- whatever you like. Some cool examples shared above. No you've got me thinking... Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6310-thunderstorm-tattoos/#findComment-115547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
