My Mac Tattoo

[Lala]

I think I mentioned a while ago that I got the Fleetwood Mac penguin tattooed on my leg. I was just waiting to get it touched up before I posted pics. Did so about 3 weeks ago and it's nice and healed and colored evenly, so I thought I'd share.

My tattoo artist based his work on the album art from the White Album. I brought the vinyl in and he photocopied, but here is a scan for referrence...

And here's the finished product....

My artist just made a few small changes, to get the best tattoo out of it...ie. colored in the walking stick so it would look better in 15 years, skipped a few of the really fine lines/details. But I'm absolutely in love with it. This was my college grad present from my sisters, so not only does this remind me of my love of the Mac and the strength their music gives me, but also my sisters.

I have my next tattoo booked for May 2010. It will be Stevie's lyric from "Love Is" that means a lot to me..."Love is...what you believe it is" on my arm in my own writting. I'll be sure to post pictures when it's done.

Feel free to share any pictures or stories of your Mac-related tattoos here.

Very cool!!! Congrats on the tattoo and graduating!

Looks pretty good! The artist did the right thing by making the penguin's eye wider/larger... those areas tend to "bleed" together as the tattoo ages. ;)

[GypsyBlueEyes]

I really, really like it! Congrats :)

[Nathan]

Beautiful - love it.

I loooooooove your penguin. It looks like its a really good size and I think your artist did a realy good job with it.

I just got a Mac tattoo too! :) I'm obsessed. It's on my left hip. I got it with LikeAWillow who got the Enchanted feather on her foot when we went.

Dani, what is the name of the font in yours? Or was it just free-handed by your artist? I keep changing my mind about whether I want my next one to be an actual font, or traced from my own writing. You're is really nice.

She free-handed it. And thank you-- I absolutely love it :) I think this whole tattoo thing could get really addicting really fast. Uh oh.

i've got a bit of the sheet music from Go Your Own Way (changed a wee bit to make it look better) on my arm:

[LittleCharmer]

Guys, you're making me want one! These are all really nice

[Sahara]

The sheet music is a really original idea -- I love it!
And Dani, yours is just gorgeous :)

Argh. You're all so brave! :p

Tell me about it. Half way through my penguin, I knew I wanted more :D

Stu...how do you like having something linear on your arm like that. It's what I want for my next tattoo, but I wonder if it will bother me when it gets twisted as I move my arm around during the day (if that makes any sense).

Oops! Sorry...

Lindsey says he doesn't read music. I wonder if he'd even know what it was if he saw it. How ironic if he wouldn't. I'm not sure about John.

Ive never actually been certain, is it that he CAN'T read it, or he DOESN'T on principle?

See, it totally makes sense now that you told me. I can read music if it's put in context. Ha!

I think he's denied being able to and that's why he calls himself a reformed primitive. Didn't he say his mother had him taking piano lessons for awhile? Over time, maybe he picked up a little know how, but he's never indicated that he has. It would be fun to show him GYOW and tell him it's something else and see if he catches on. Michele

Honestly, I think his approach to some of the Tusk stuff is too cerebral for him NOT to have a good grasp of reading music. I can understand the not reading it out of prinicple thing.. but I think if it came down to it and he was handed a score of music, he could read it.

That's just me though. I'm one of those.."Put it on paper" music students! :laugh:

That's a wicked idea :D :nod: You should go for it! It might hurt but only for a little while ....

A friend of mine does tattoos in Waterford, I could put you in touch with him if you like?

that is unF#*king real!

i need something Mac tatted on me. still thinking about that
I really want a LOT of Rhiannon on my back :eek:
I have Street Angel on my right wrist, i dont remember the font but it was my fave at the time, but then i got my other wrist done this year, the guy kinda free handed it, and i like it better. i like it kinda messy and not perfect. like i scribbled on myself :D I would suggest freehand. especially with the lil quote you mentioned. but see what their writing is like first :lol:

Congrats on the graduation too!
