  1. I've got a date with the Martha's Vineyard tattooist who gave me the
    Halloween tat last year. I'd been racking my brain for the last year as
    to what to do next (it IS addictive). Finally I remembered the
    fantastic artwork of a fellow NYUC member, Zack, who came up with this
    a few years ago. I'm glad I saved it on my computer. In a week, I'll
    have this on my inner calf muscle.

  2. Wow, that is a really great design. The NYUC member Zack -drew- this?
    It's perfect for you, being in NY and all.

    I posted something a short while ago about UV responsive ink for
    tattoos, I think it would be really cool to incorporate UV ink into
    this somehow (thinking the flames). Either way, I'm still on the
    lookout for a tattoo that I'm willing to have on my skin for the rest
    of my life. Nice choice on yours.

    Next time i'm in NY i'm definately going to try to ride with you all.

    (Sounds like you have a cool trials line right outside your front door,
    too!)

  3. D.Stone.....in all due respect and with long time of reading your posts
    with vertual feeling of uni-one-dum through this forum, i have to say
    that is the cheezyest drawing i have ever seen and you could not pay me
    $1000 bucks to have that permantly inked on my calf with a life time
    supply of Dickes pants to hide it.

    ACK!

    if you do- do it at least its better than Jjuggles chezzey schwinn calf
    tatoo.

  4. Nice picture, I like it and it put a smile on my face. It's not overly
    detailed either, so the tattoo will probably still look good many years
    after.

    Stay away from the UV ink though, there are many stories of people
    who've had problems with these types of tattoos on the internet..

  5. Yeah I heard about the cancer risks too...

    I gotta say that the design reminds me a lot of those old school
    Microsoft Word clipart though. Haha!

    Jagur, I welcome your honesty. Too many people are afraid to offend.
    Nonetheless, I'm going ahead with the corny tat. For one thing, I'm a
    pretty corny guy. The only people who think I'm cool are my kids and
    some of my students. Another thing: This is an original artwork, as
    opposed to a design someone could get off the web (or off a photo of a
    unicycle, which is sort of what Raphael has, tho I like his tat, too,
    in part bc it's so bold). I'm not much of an artist, so I couldn't
    design ma better tattoo myself. And keep in mind that 'better' is in
    the eye (and skin, in my case) of the beholder. I looked online for
    some ideas but found nothing. I have a feeling that Darren Bedford
    could ask his amazing artist friend of his to draw a really neat uni
    that could be turned into a tattoo, but I'm kinda jonesing to get this
    done in 5 days, and I'm happy with the Liberty unicyclist. Finally, and
    speaking of Liberty, remember that I'm a NYC boy. The idea of having an
    iconic NYCer (ok, some would argue that she's in New Jersey, but we're
    not listening to them) is pretty neat, too.

    I'll try to post some shots of the actual tattoo next week.

    Jonesing? that leaves alot room for error and "settling". unless you
    have been thinking about a few differant ones for months and months,
    then knocking off a choice between three or four..i would'nt get a tat
    because of the jones. location also shows a lack of commitment..

    I hear ya. Actually, I was similarly inspired the two times I got my
    other tattoos. I don't mind the heavy debt I owe my subconscious.

    As for the location, this is where I got the other tats, so it wasn't
    that I was doing things based on location but rather it was based on
    the artist. He did a great job with my Halloween tattoo last year.

  13. I think given the permanence of the tattoo, you should put Lady Liberty
    on hold, and think about the appropriate picture to go along with the
    "NYUC - Dictator for Life" title. Ink that on there, and who could then
    argue your commitment to the cause?

    Ya, The artist that does my artwork would be able to draw you anything
    you could imagine or describe.

    They do take some time and cost a few hundred dollars each drawing.

    Post the picture of your Halloween tattoo. Halloween is big for me.

    Take it easy,

  17. I'll try to post it later today. I'm notoriously bad with posting photos
    here, so let's hope for the best. It's a tiny bit different than the
    version posted (from Zach Baldus's artwork) but is essentially the
    same.

    I'll be at the next NYUC meeting for sure, barring extreme weather.
    That's Sept 3, I think, which is the first Sunday of the month (for
    those who didn't already know that).
