Need help with my KATG tattoo!

Nettie-poo · 04-27-2010, 09:56 PM

Hey guys.

I'm getting my first KATG tattoo like...ASAP. This is my rough sketch for what I'd like, but cool lettering is not my artistic expertise so if any of you have suggestions or opinions please let me know! Thanks!

*Note: this is going on my lower back*

Do you want to keep those colors? Are you going for a theme, a feel, etc?

I'm trying to make the letters into butterflies. My initial sketch looked more like tribal and was just black and white. Those colors don't have to stick, they're just the nicest markers I had to play with. ^.^

Also, I like having the keithandthegirl.com inside of the tattoo.

This is just a rough sketch because it's past my bed time, but maybe you could do something with the keithandthegirl.com being book-ended by a butterfly, or a series of butterflies?

Hopefully somebody else can take this and riff off it.

I'm super tired and should be working, but I tried my hand at making rough ass butterfly letters:

I could try my hand at cleaning this up if you like it though!

Iruka · 04-28-2010, 02:58 AM

Weeell, I guess I couldn't sleep so I cleaned it up anyway! I'm not a tattoo artist, so my lines/colors may need some reinterpretation if it was something you'd like to use:

Let me know if you like it and I'll upload a bigger version

Wow, you guys, these turned out absolutely amazing! Thank you!

I like the butterfly book lettering idea, and the one Iruka did is just beautiful. I'm going to have a hard time picking now! I'll print them both out and see how they look where I'm going to put it.

Thank you thank you!

Don't stop with just us two, I'm sure as the day wears on, you'll get even more ideas. Maybe even from me, if it's not a busy day at work.
