Any artists in the house?

Postby IdRatherBeSurfing » Mon Dec 18, 2006 2:04 pm

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to design me a tattoo using a hibiscus flower. Tattoo should not exceed about 1.25" square as it will be going inbetween my ankle bone (outside of left foot) and heel. cheers m'dears!

I.R.B.D.G you may find a small tat will not have much detail, and may melt into a discoloured blob after a couple of years or so.Why don`t you have it a bit bigger so it covers the ankle bone. ouch :D , i have some tattoos, the only surfing one is of taz going through a tube, covers my left calf on the outside. :roll:

Do like this Image

Many of you may not have known, but I am actually quite a good artist. IRBDG, if you get a tattoo, forget the rest and get this one..... I did it myself especially for you.

no need to thank me.... just doing what I love
