Tarantula tattoos

[MatthewM1]

Anyone have any? Or any animals for that matter? Been thinking of a couple myself. First one is a B. auratum coming up over my right shoulder, so that when you look at me straight on you'll just see the front legs and palps like you would at the entrance of a burrow with the rest of the spider on my shoulder blade. And the other isn't a T but I wanna get my C. cranwelli(pacman frog) with a human arm hanging out of its mouth.

There a couple long running threads on this subject, one is in TWH. You may want to look through it, if not only for inspiration but also there's some pretty cool non-spider tattoos in there. Personally I'm reticent to get a tarantula tattoo as they seem to be quite a challenge for tattoo artists. I don't want to call anyone's art bad and I'm sure on paper it looked great but still, some I look at and wince. A bit of advice based on what I've observed: be extremely careful about the position the T is in, a lot of artists tattoo spiders with crazy wonky legs on people because they're copying the image exactly; and I would encourage at least some sort of outline rather than trying to go too realistic with the setae which IMO doesn't turn out well.

Then why'd you bother responding to the post?

There are some great threads around regarding tarantula tattoos. I think pokies make the best tattoos if you're going for a really detailed and naturalistic look.

A T as tattoo.. It must be a big one and done by a pro! I have a little spider in mijn neck, its simple but realy beautiful!

Maybe for the same reason you posted on a thread of someone looking for T dealers in Tampa... you popped in and posted that you live nearby.... How did that help the OP?

Pointless info made by someone who wanted to be part of a thread. Chill... be a part of cummunity instead of antagonizing people.

What I'm saying is, if he doesn't like and/or have any tattoos or ever plan on getting one, then why bother saying that you can't help them. I mean, that's something that can be inferred based simply upon the fact that he doesn't have any. It'd be like if there was a thread where people were discussing guns, and I went in and said "Can't help you. I don't own any guns."
