I just realised that I really should get another cartoony tattoo. This has deep foundation for me - I grew up obsession on it, and it has had a huge impact on my interests, and in fact was what I wanted to do when I grew up ever since I was about three. As it turns out, I kind of do.

So...

Who ya gonna call?

As I ended up saying in the comments, I might make it a sleeve, done in a cartoony horror style, with a cemetery and demons and ghosts and things and an arm coming out of the ground to reach for it. It would be a fucking astonishing tattoo.

My tattooist in London is a guy called Piotrek Taton. He is AWESOME. His website is down at the moment, but if you go to the Frith Street Studio website and look at his work, you'll see he's perfect for this. Especially the fourth picture on the second line.

(And yes, I really am 100% serious about this.)

Squee! Love it! I remember spending ages drawing the symbol over and over when I was a kid. Where would it be positioned?

I haven't decided. I'm tempted to get a half-sleeve on my left shoulder devoted to it - like with ghosts and a cemetery and a full moon and stuff.

That would be awesome. Please post pix after you get it! :D

It'll be quite a long time, because I have a lot to save for, first, but one day I will...

Oh my god, a thousand times yes! I'm just not sure if you could blend the styles of a Ghostbuster's icon with a graveyard and such. Unless you wanted to do the rest of it with a cartoon feel to it. But even then I feel like maybe the icon would be out of place...unless you put it as the moon? Kind of like a Batman calling thing? Did that make any sense? I suppose I could just explain through AIM?

You can if you want, hon - but I can think of how it would be done. It would definitely be very cartoony. All my tattoos are. Imagine most of my arm being black with cartoony ghosts kind of crawling aroun the logo and the night/cemetery scape in the background.

It's really hard to describe without showing you.

Yes! Yes. Yes.
Absolutely.
In the middle of nowhere, between where I live and where my grandparents live there is this farmhouse, and in front of it they have the Ghostbusters car. Exact replica. I don't know if it's for sale or just on display, but it's awesome.

Hahaha. I've seen one of those in the past, as well. Totally awesome.

OMFG Do it, Rosie!!!

I guess that means I should get the Genie from Aladdin somewhere, huh? XD

Hahaha. Do you grant wishes as a hobby, then?

Kinda. Only the ones I can like, DO, you know?

Like, happiness and, and laughter. Those are just a few. ;D

But really, I'll be walking somewhere and just start quoting Aladdin. I'm pretty I've seen it 300 times...ROUGHLY.

Hahaha. That's cool.

I'm a psychic artist and I've been saying I wanted to be a ghostbuster or psychical researcher since I was three.

So, like, ok. Ready? This is me being stupid.
Is a psychic artist like, a psychic? As in with the supernatural?

[See? My IQ dropped a few points. It's Patrick's birthday. Heh. I can feel him and the succubus partying somewhere about an hour or so away.]

Haha. Yep. I'm an actual psychic. I see dead people and I have premonitions of major disasters. I work with one of the guys who used to do Most Haunted on public investigations. I'm a team leader.

It kind of freaks me out because I never put that much faith in my abilities but the more I do the more accurate I become.

It's pretty weird.

That's awesome though. =]

♥

It is, I guess. Except I'm scared of the dark and every time I have a vivid disaster dream I wonder if it's going to come true.

The last one I had was the Heathrow crash.

hahahahah. Awesome. From what I know of you- this seems perfect. But will you use white ink? Or just grayscale the whole scene?

I haven't gotten my first tatto yet, because I'm saving the million dollars it will cost. But I've found my artist and he's priced it out and designed it. He's called Anil Gupta and his work is amazing- I'll be so proud when I get it done.

My little sister,

shinko, wants to get her tattoo done by him, as well.

I actually really dislike his work. I also think that anyone who will do a miniture tattoo knowing that in a few years time it will just be a nasty coloured blob is just out for your money. I can't trust a tattoo artist who will do that to someone.

I'm sorry. :(

What are you planning to get?

*shrugs* I think people who get minitures are not really think that decision through. Because yeah I understand if you want something discrete, but it just feels wasteful and contrary. Do you really need to Mona Lisa the size of a dime?

I think he's so talented- I love his skin rips. I'm getting a simplifed Icarus Falling on the center of my back I think. I wanted something big without tons of detail, because I'm black and it most of the detailing would be lost.

I felt really lame at first because there will be wings on my back... :/ but he designed something I really love

Well, ultimately, as long as you love the work it doesn't matter. It's your body and your tattoo.

For what it's worth, I kind of have wings, too. Mine are the jumpwings of the US Airborne. I think your tattoo will be lovely.

had a look around the site, looks really good. this is a really awesome, interesting idea. ^^

Thanks. I think Piotrek could do an amazing job.
