October 20, 200817 yr i've never had a tattoo but it is on my "list of stuff to do before i die" and i am thinking of immortalizing (well, not exactly but as far as i am concerned it'll be forever) my hobby by getting a blacksmithing related tattoo on my right upper arm (typical spot)...my initial thought is the silhouette of an anvil with a long-hafted cross pein hammer behind it...perhaps a pair of tongs and hammer (skull and cross bones style) behind the anvil... do any of you guys/gals have blacksmithing related ink-work? or any ideas for something interesting i could perhaps get?

October 20, 200817 yr Well i don't have any blacksmith related tats but the ones i have are one offs i would keepmy eye out for pic of some thing interesting or pics or drawings any good tatoo artiest should be able to draw you up some thing with a few pics and ideas of what you are looking for if they say they can't draw some thing up i would leave cause they aren't any good and one more a good tatoo guy would want to work with you on desighning a tatoo you would be pround to show off cause thats advertising for him i don't how it is down under but here i would only go to shops that have been open for some times and ask around with friends that have ink if theres any one they can recomend good luck and if you get some thing give us a pic so we can see
October 20, 200817 yr You could even find an actual picture that you like and a good tat artist could work something up for you.
October 20, 200817 yr Author thanks guys. i've watched stuff like miami ink before on telly...you guys might think its lame but it is something i am not terribly familiar with so i found it pretty interesting...i have a couple of friends who have tattoos but they are usually just boilerplate stuff like tribal tats and things which are kinda boring...i dont really see the point in getting one if all they are gonna do is pick one from a catalogue...but anyway i digress...i spose i could just rock up with a bunch of pics i like and see what they can come up with...
October 21, 200817 yr I have one!!!!! Upper right arm as well!http://www.iforgeiron.com/gallery/uploads/460/Blacksmith_Tattoo.jpg
October 21, 200817 yr Author nice one that is similarish to what i am thinking...though i want a hammer and maybe some tongs in there too still mulling over a design :P
