Mantis Tattoo

[Jolt]

I am going to be getting a tattoo of a mantis some time in the near future. I just cant seem to find the right picture for the tattoo. It would be greatly appreciated if you guys could post a few cool pics of your mantids.....or link me to a site with a good collection of mantis pictures. Pics that you think might look good as a tattoos.

thanks

Wow u love mantis..... :lol:

this isnt a tattoo already, i think it was just on the front cover of something

 

[Andrew]

I dont think any mantid pictures would be worth getting a permanant tatoo of...just my opinion..

Thanks,

Andrew

i think tattoos of unusual animals usually look great!

my favourites are tattoos of cephalopods, like this - http://www.tonmo.com/gallery/displayimage....bum=8&pos=2

i do tattoos but i havent had this come up

i think i might be able to come up with something

i think a solid black siloette of a mantis or at least the upper half would be sweet

 

[Jolt]

Yeah, a solid black siloette would look cool. I dont know what position I would want the arms in though.......Resting, striking, Defensive position, etc... Its hard to think of something without being able to see some designs. Theres not that many mantis tattoo designs out there....or at least I cant seem to find many on the internet.

This picture is actually not a tattoo......think that picture, but in black tattoo form

as big as that?! and red, wow, that looks like it's burned into his arm! lol but yeah, I like that one

hey ian, why don't you get a tattoo like that?!

 

[Samzo]

hes a pu...ahem lol jk

i'd search for an amazingly artistic tattooist, i know of one in leeds, but that's over here :? . if you get something big that's gonna be showing itself off often then it's worth spending a bit and searching and not rushing into it cos it'll be for life

 

[Ian]

I could well do, think id pass for 18 :?

Cheers,

Ian

 

[Samzo]

i think its 16 + guardian apparently (friend wants one)

 

[ibanez_freak]

Yeah that's what I thought. similar age to piercings or something isn't it?

Cheers, Cameron.

 

[Samzo]

think so yeah

 

[Ian]

yeah, but there is a snag, my parents wouldn't want me to have one, so I could hardly go with them... :roll:

Cheers,

Ian

 

[ibanez_freak]

Good to be 16

Although I don't think I'll get a tattoo or piercing any time soon. I can stand needles. I'm happy enough to do fairly big jumps on a snowboard etc but can't stand being any where near needles used for goin under your skin.

Dunno why, it's kinda strange.

Cheers, Cameron.
