She should have the circle coloured in black then she’d look like an english bull terrier.

Given the contours of the face, it would be virtually impossible to get a circle there to look right. The line quality is inconsistent, also – not surprising considering how difficult it is to render consistent lines on a surface like the face. Okay, I’ll cast my vote in the “this looks like shit” box. With the economy tanking, I hope she’s independently wealthy and invested in gold instead of currency or stocks – because she’s made herself almost unemployable.

I definitely thought long and hard about this tattoo…I’ve always known I would get my face tattooed, but I never knew what exactly. When I drew up this design, I fell instantly in love. I spent a lot of time drawing in on in different sizes and positions and checking it out for a long time before I finally got it done…I just wanted to make sure I was prepared to look in the mirror every day for the rest of my life and see that on my face!
I finally decided I was ready, and I absolutely love it. I’ve always loved the idea of beautiful girls with a “flaw” on their face. (I always have an instant crush on any pretty girl with a “port wine stain” birthmark on her face.) This was my way of fulfilling that, I suppose. Either way, I knew it was for me, and I couldn’t be happier.
And yes, it looks perfectly round from one angle and every other way it looks warped. I knew that going into it, (especially over the nose bridge and such!) and I think it turned out wonderfully. A pretty significant amount of my tattoos are just lines.
As far as money goes, I’m not worried. The bottom line is: I am prepared to starve under a bridge for my mods and lifestyle. I know a lot of you think that is stupid, but I already know I have different priorities in life than most people and that’s fine. I work to live, not the other way around. I know not many people could live the way we do, but it makes me happy and that’s all that matters. Brad and I run our own company, and I’m a licensed hairstylist in two states. We’re both amazing artists and hard workers….and if we get really desperate, we can maintain fairly regular employment at various call centers. 🙂 Like I said, I’m not worried at all. Once I got my throat and hand tattooed, the game was already over.
@ #15 Kitteh– Go for it! It won’t bother me if it looks similar to mine; I’m not real territorial over my tattoos. 🙂 I like how they look, and that’s that. It won’t be a copycat at all, especially since you came up with it completely independently from my influence. So I second the Lizardman: If you really want it, it shouldn’t matter. I didn’t get mine because its unique, I got it because I love how it looks…reguardless of however many people get the same one.
P.S.
Shameless self promotion time!!

I assume its a credible to comment, that EVERY fucking IAM person has only positive feedback on this entry. Whereas all the haters aren’t registered IAM members. Process that…
I love it!

That girl’s not gonna look so cool in 60 years when she’s in a nursing home.

She’ll have style when shes in a nursing home. Great story to tell the grandkids.

^ I hardly think your appearance as the highest priority when you’re straddling a bedpan or wheeling around a tank of oxygen.
Not to mention that is the most tired response you can give. If you’re going to belittle someone’s actions, at least be creative.

simplistic but just really wow.
good for you for having balls to do it parker, and as for 58. if people spent the present time worrying about how every little thing they did would affect their future then they aren’t really living. it’s called living for the moment and while i wouldn’t tattoo my face personally, if it makes her happy (or anyone for that matter) and she’s content with it then more power to her 🙂

I’m pretty sure its super hard to tattoo the cheek and around the bridge of the nose
but i don’t like this. maybe i would if the line work was a little bit cleaner/thicker
but like i said, i’m sure its hard to work in that area in the first place

Everyone comments on the physical aspect of this tattoo, I love the beauty of the thought process and mental backing of the piece. Anyone who didnt like it because of its “capability ruining potential” could definitly benefit from Parkers comments. There is bulletproof logic behind the piece. This is one of those tattoos that should allow people to look past the aestetics of the piece and discuss reason.

im not a fan, of either tattoo. but thats me. more power to them. seriously, no sarcasm. they make an adorable couple. and as long as their happy. then, well, fuck what i think. honestly. its just not for me.

I get cyborg from it, rather than clown. Very cool. Since humans tend to look at eyes first, I find I don’t immediately perceive the tattoo; sort of a delayed-reaction effect as you mentally zoom out that’s kind of cool and different. I really like this. It’s something I never would have thought of myself. Being a fairly creative person, I’m always intrigued by how others can come up with things I never in a million years would have dreamed up.
As far as the nursing home comments, I hope that someday we can, collectively, get over this “You’ll regret it when you’re 80!” nonsense. I’ve often considered putting off some more visible mods I’m interested in until I’m elderly for the very reason that then it won’t matter. At that age, I won’t be looking for jobs, dating, adopting kids, or any other area where discrimination might make a serious impact on your goals. So, if people have to say “You’re going to regret it when _____!”, I suggest we change it to: “You’re going to regret it when you’re 30 or 40 and get paranoid that your boss keeps passing you over for promotion because of your mods!”
