SorenM[TK] Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Hi all Having recently (nearly) completed my first Star Wars tattoo. I thought that I would start a thread about Star Wars tattoos. I know that it is not a character that would qualify for the ranks of the First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment, but I really love this character anyway..... The inspiration for my tattoo is this piece of art by Brian Rood, my tattooist has then made some changes that I wanted. I was lucky enough to meet Brian at CE II ( it is Brian on the right) I bought this limited edition print (7/25), but actually it is one of only two, because it has been signed by Jeremy Bulloch...Brian has the other one. And this is my tattoo, minor highlighting is still to be done...and then a Stormtrooper on the opposite side is in the works... 14th november, minor shading done..now finished...working to decorate the other side with a TK... If you have a Star Wars tattoo, then feel free to share it here :-) Edited November 14, 2013 by SorenM Quote
Raintrooper Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 That is one awesome tattoo Soren! I have several tattoos, but no Star Wars tattoo(s)... yet. I love 'photo-real' portrait SW tattoos, but I also really like the idea of SW tattoos done in a traditional 'Sailor Jerry' style, like a pin-up slave Leia, or a stormtrooper with a ribbon below that says "Move Along" or something like that.. SO many ideas! I'll be watching this thread with great interest! Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Posted August 28, 2013 Thanx a bunch Jason:-).. I like those old/new school tattoos as well, and I fell in love with this running paint style....that will be the style of the stormtrooper....next year some time.... Yeah there are so many great ideas for cool tattoos.... Thanks, I hope many more will contribute....:-)... Quote
zebrabuse Posted August 28, 2013 Report Posted August 28, 2013 Fett AND a TK? I like your style! Quote
Redforce[TK] Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Nice piece! Love it! I have a lot of SW tats. My chest piece won tat of the year in bantha tracks (sw insider) back in 2006 (I think or 07). There is a book also called The Force in the Flesh (there is a 2 page layout of my stuff)...that came out around the time of celebration 4. It's an entire book (big coffee table style) of people with SW tats. It's pretty awesome if you were able to get your hands on it. I'll post pics of mine when I get to my pc later on... Quote
HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 I want to get a half imperial cog half rebel insignia on the back of my left shoulder. I've been thinking about it for about 3 or 4 months, since I've been told you should always think about it for a while before actually getting any ink. I don't think Star Wars is going to be leaving my life anytime soon, haha. Quote

SorenM[TK] Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Posted August 29, 2013 Here are some photos of mine Those are FANTASTIC:-).. I've seen them many a time before:-)... Very very cool:-)...I was very close to buying The Force in the Flesh...but decided against it, because most of the tattoos in it were some I had seen before on the internet...but the author told me ( when I met him at CE II)... That a sequel book is in the works.....:-)....get that one I will....:-) Quote

If you are gonna do it, why don't you go big!, and chose one of your favourite characters...so I gave it a thought and this was the result... This is the initial idea.... Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Posted August 29, 2013 Fett AND a TK? I like your style! Thanks a lot:-)... It will be good I think..... Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Posted August 29, 2013 Thanks a lot:-)... It will be good I think..... Ahaaa, must have been very tired this morning.....I only just now saw that you have both uniforms;-)... COOL! Quote
zebrabuse Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Ahaaa, must have been very tired this morning.....I only just now saw that you have both uniforms;-)... COOL! Haha yup! Working on more as well. Be careful this stuff is addictive! Quote
HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 I think this is a really cool idea. I like the colors and texture that you added to it That is a great idea, it is actually what I started out with as what I wanted, but then my wife said to me.." If you are gonna do it, why don't you go big!, and chose one of your favourite characters...so I gave it a thought and this was the result...This is the initial idea.... Quote
SorenM[TK] Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Thanks, but I cannot claim that it is something I came up with, I found it on Deviantart....but it is really cool, but in order to get the texture into a tattoo, it will have to be quite large..:-)... I love this design....but have gone down another road now:-) Edited August 29, 2013 by SorenM Quote
naatsirhc[TK] Posted August 30, 2013 Report Posted August 30, 2013 Just a simple Imperial Cog for now Great Tattoos! BTW Quote

SorenM[TK] Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Posted September 6, 2013 Really? :-).. Out of all the members here on FISD, only three members with Star Wars tattoos?. Quote
longboard8 Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 If I got another tatt, I probably wouldn't be able to knock boots for a few months. That is a Southern witticism. Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2 Quote

Raintrooper Posted September 6, 2013 Report Posted September 6, 2013 I guess there aren’t many here who can afford costuming AND tattoos... Definitely two expensive hobbies! I’m tempted to post pictures of Star Wars tattoos I WISH I had/could afford... Quote
jwelch13 Posted September 7, 2013 Report Posted September 7, 2013 My first star wars tattoo I am hoping for more Quote

You are absolutely right :-).....not cheap interests.Ofcourse there might also be people who don't want to flash their tattoos on a public website......but still...it surprises me how few post there have been, taking into consideration how popular tattoos are these days.....
