gougetheeyes Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Go big or go fuck yourself! ........both of my thighs are still completely tattoo free. cragdw, MsRad and Stitch626 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/897-post-thigh-pieces/#findComment-11218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Noir Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I don't have my thighs done yet, but I definitely think you should go big. It's such a good area to get a big piece compared to your arms, since they're skinnier, why waste it? When it comes to covering my legs, I'm totally getting a gazelle on one thigh.

cragdw Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 i agree with you two..i think the space should definitely be taken advantage of. i want to get an eagle holding a scale. probably going to have eli quinters do it Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/897-post-thigh-pieces/#findComment-11220 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptCanada Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 For the thigh is all about big pieces, just about as much room as your back but its horizontal and not vertical.

MsRad Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 i have a large, almost finished ship on one of my thighs (since it's not finished, i have not posted photos of it in the ship thread) by El Brad Mariachi. on my left thigh, i have a smaller piece of a snake with a dagger going through it, and an envelope in it's mouth from Mario Desa. that left thigh is where all my "dark" tattoos are going to go (the really fucked up ones) since my right leg is becoming lyric themed.

Stitch626 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Go big! I've started my thigh piece but am currently stuck as what to do with the back ground and top half of my leg, seeing as my back is going to be a samurai piece not quite sure how to get them to flow into each other.. jayessebee 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/897-post-thigh-pieces/#findComment-11260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochlan Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 As has been said go big! I never thought about just how big of a piece of flesh it is until Scott Sylvia started my leg. He fit a huge reaper on the outside and some skeletons on the inside. he is still working on tattooing my leg but here are some old pictures of the tattoo in progress.

David Flores Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This is what I have on one thigh. Still debating on what to do with other side but plan on going big.

David Flores Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Here is a pic of mine right thigh. This was about two years ago and I have since pretty much filled this leg with other animals . Not sure what to do on the other side thinking of dragon.

RoryQ Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This counts as a thigh piece, I hope! Working on the other side (actually finishing it next week ...), although it's a smaller homeward bound trad piece. ironchef, Kev, jade1955 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/897-post-thigh-pieces/#findComment-11283 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLWar Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I've always enjoyed thigh pieces so I've thought about getting my family coat of arms done on the front of my thigh, any thoughts? Or maybe on the back of my thigh?... Or not on my legs at all?

Or maybe on the back of my thigh?... Or not on my legs at all? Is that the thing where you type your last name into a webpage and it comes up with a rather generic looking image of your 'coat of arms'? A friend from a while ago did this, he ended up finding a decent tattoo artist even though the image was directly stencilled off the print-out he gave him; and I've seen a bunch of tattoos aparently taken from the same website that look almost identical (with a few colours and central symbol changed to represent the supposed family name). However, I live in Australia and theres no real 'old family names' that date back to god knows when because everyone who lives here migrated within the last 200 years unless you are native, and coat of arms' arn't part of Aboriginal Australia's culture. Anyway my point is, if where you live you actually have coat of arms above your mantel piece in in your family history books or wherever they're kept, and that's what you want to represent your family, then go for it! Othwise, perhaps think about other imagery that symbolises your love for or bond to your family for a tattoo. Just my two cents:) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/897-post-thigh-pieces/#findComment-109820 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLWar Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 It definitely my family's coat of arms but thanks for your concern. My last name is rare enough that it doesn't even show up on those coat of arms sites anyways haha. I just don't know if it would work well as a thigh tattoo and if so should it be on the front, side, or back. - - - Updated - - - Is that the thing where you type your last name into a webpage and it comes up with a rather generic looking image of your 'coat of arms'?

Family history must be something I really just don't understand. As far as placement, if you are willing an artist would be able to play around with the foliage surrounding the actual coat of arms in order to help the design fit the shape of your leg better. I am not a tattoo artist. It sounds like you really want it on your thigh, so I'd say go for it! :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/897-post-thigh-pieces/#findComment-109853 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexandr Melnik Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Here are some thigh tattoos from an artist collaborating with G Tattoo Design. Unfortunately it's not possible to schedule tattoo session in US, though you can ask her for a custom design. An outstanding design as you see. marley mission 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/897-post-thigh-pieces/#findComment-112934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
