LadySparrow Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hello, I have discovered this forum few days ago and since then I have read quite a lot of topics and I'm amazed by the friendliness of people here. I decided to register to be able to add my opinions (occasionally) and ask questions (more likely). I'm a female, after 30, from the middle of Europe, not native English speaker, please forgive my mistakes. I got my first tattoo 7 years back, tribal phoenix and I had it improved/partly covered last Friday. There will be one more session after two months, when we can see how it heals and how the colours settle. I had two more tattoo sessions this year, watercolour sparrow on my inner forearm and small text on the inner ankle. I plan a tattoo of owl for the next year to add to my sparrow. And I don't think it will be the last one :D - - - Updated - - - This is my sparrow :) Pete tattoo freak, pidjones, marley mission and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6631-newbie-bird-tattoo-enthusiast/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jar W Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Bird tattoos are great. I really love traditional swallows and sparrows. I recently got a swallow tattoo on my right shoulder/upper chest. At first I was concerned that bird tattoos would look too feminine but then I thought eff it, I'll get what I want. My wife wants to get an owl tattoo wearing a little nurse's cap. She's a night person and works nights at a hospital so she's going for the whole night owl thing....says it will be "cute." I say more power to her if that's what she wants.

pidjones Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hello and Welcome, LadySparrow! I know that some here share a hesitancy to embrace watercolor tattoos. I too wonder how well they will hold up over time, but I do feel that many (yours being a great example) are beautiful!

LadySparrow Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 Yeah, pidjones, I'm very fond of watercolor tattoos, even if there is a risk that they will fade. I avoid the sun, most of the time I have my hand covered, I use sunblock and I moisturize a lot. So, I hope they will look nice for a long time. Jar W, that's a lovely idea for a tattoo I would say. Thank you for welcome :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6631-newbie-bird-tattoo-enthusiast/#findComment-120943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySparrow Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 I will use this thread of mine for babbling about my planned tattoo. The tattoo will be of creatures from Sandman comics. In upper part I want to have gatekeepers of Dreaming realm - wyvern, gryphon and hippogryph (it has a horse head here, not eagle). The wyvern of shoulder cap, the gryphon and hippogryph on sides of shoulder cap (will take up a part of back and collar), all with heads looking down on Morpheus in the shape of cat (from A dream of a thousand cats) who will take central part of my arm. Below, just above an elbow will be Desire in the shape of a cat pretending to be an aspect of Dreamlord, looking up on Morpheus. It sounds complicated, but there are only five characters and the style is not really detailed. I will try to get the consultation with the artist next week.

Marie Thompson Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hi and welcome! I love bird tattoos and your's lovely! I avoid the sun and use spf, too. Honestly, who wants leathery skin and pre-mature aging? It kills me when ppl have nice tattoos and they refuse to use sunblock outside.

Margarita Yaschenko Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Welcome! I very like birds in tattoos and have 3 tattoos with owl and other tattoos and one tattoo with half-bird half-human. And by coincidence, I have to drawing and to tattooing as many birds, they are beautiful rhythmic. ^_^ Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6631-newbie-bird-tattoo-enthusiast/#findComment-122843 Share on other sites More sharing options...
