The Swastika symbol in tattoos
Shannon Shirley replied to Iwar's topic in Tattoo Designs, Books and Flash
sorry, what's 1488 mean? symbology, It is our business. Sometimes people just want to be offended for the attention. Ive see people in the south claim to be offended by the state flag of Alabama, as far as I know it has nothing to do with the civil war. Although it may be another battle flag.Some in the south are proud of their ancesteral history ,as anyone could be, sometimes it seems thats all we have . Im proud of my portuges mariners, Im proud of all the foolish people in my heritage. as Americans we often feel, because of the melting pot that it is, without cultural background. So we claw at, glom onto,and try to hold onto any symbalance of culture or heritage we can find. Thicken your skin and love the variety I say. Its easy to hurt the feelings of the ignorant.If you run around trying to offend others, you probably need hobbies. -

Shannon Shirley replied to Gia Dobson's topic in General Tattoo Discussion
its crazy how we as adults influence children, boy that was stupid, oh well.I was heavily influenced by the adults around me as a child. that being said , I do tatto minors ,I certainly dont relish it. but thier gonna get it somewhere,determination and all.In Alabama Its 16 also.there are so many scratchers here that you gotta be glad that you have the opportunity to show them the ''right way''. -

anyone got some drawing tips?
Shannon Shirley replied to ChrisvK's topic in Tattoo Designs, Books and Flash
Ive drawn since before I can remember, I kinda dont get the questions. I took instructions as a kid, I now know, all one needs is motivation . So, get motivated. this is the escense of art, everyones mind,hand,thoughts and feelings are different. the truer you are to yourself the better the art. posing isnt good. I have always in my life, tried to get those that ''cant draw'' to do so. because representationalism is where its at. bad art doesnt exist, unless its a lie. lies arent good. Do you. -
thx. growing old IS good.
