 Posted: Thu May 17, 2012 7:46 am Post subject: Blueprint tattoo |
 |
|
hey people, can anyone direct me to a site or a artist who can help me find a 'blueprint tattoo design"?
i dont mean an outline of an actual tattoo either,
now when i say blueprint tattoo i mean a blueprint design such as, an architectural write up or any sort of construction blueprint/layout. Something that looks proper, straight lines(mostly), degrees, numbers, and all that "blueprint stuff".
in the end i want a blueprint design over my rib cage with a puzzle peice created out of the blueprints, but i want it to all blend together so the puzzle peice isnt SO noticable.
Any feedback will be appreciated. thanks |

A cool bold engineering or drafting style peice would be way cooler. Like Blueprint as background, but compasses, rulers, pencils, desktop items, maybe a magnifying glass or something on there too. Just a blueprint is gonna be cheesy. I'm planning on a pirate map as the filler for my next couple pieces, with like a coins, a hour glass, etc, as the actual pieces.

| I think straight lines are difficult for many reasons in a tattoo. A blueprint is usually made up of many many straight lines. But, it is a neat idea. I'd be interested in what others have to say...especially the artists. |

straight lines on your rib cage are going to be nearly impossible to pull off. just fyi. even for an amazing artist. i've never seen a blue-print tattoo and i doubt there are many out there... your best bet if you are really dead set on it is to take a blue print to an artist and have them recreate it on you. however, if its a very busy blue print its going to have to be quite sizeable. if i were you i'd take some time to try to think of some other ideas that you could use before diving into this piece.

why are straight lines difficult to do in general?
the ribs casue they curve, ya?
i want an architecural drawning of a human body, or more specifically (to get a more detailed tattoo) maybe the midsection or head.....well see. but i dont want a man made object like a car or gun or anything "cliche" so to speak.
the puzzle peice is going to be small compared to the tattoo itself, on a scale, 1:8 ratio...about. |

and for the same reason mechanical drawers use flat-edge tools - it's exceptionally rare for a human hand to able to consistantly draw or even trace a perfectly straight line by hand. |

LOL.........i'm a mechanical engineer and spent countless hours in front of a drafting board before CAD was invented.
it was a real pain in the ass before the drafting board because we had to chisel all our drawings in rock.....

if i put a rubber ruler against my body i could draw a straight line.............................................im sure a PROFESSIONAL ARTIST could manage to do the same. hell, you could use a laser line to make a straight line. u made that sound nearly IMPOSSIBLE.... i could think of 5 more ways to make an "oh so difficult straight line" i understand that the ribs may prove a bit more challenging but chest, stomach, back, arm, leg, hand, foot, neck and face and whatever other obvious body parts ive missed, im sure could be done without breaking a sweat............................
