A lot of effort put into this one. Although I have a general distaste for tattoos, I really can appreciate this one.

I'm not a fan of tattoos either - at all. I would never consider one in a million years, but to each their own. I hope this bloke wants it in later life. My guess is that he hasn't any choice now. He's also probably OK with that. :lol:

[mozzie]

noway would i ever get a tattoo ooohhhhh the thought of that needle !!!!!!!!!

but you have to admire that art work absoulty amazing !!!!!!

[Matt Wastell]

It is funny with tattoos - most like them or hate them - I have not met many that are indifferent.

[asimov]

Yeah love them or hate them..Personally I don't go by the exterior overly much..

Nice tatt.

[Kevnool]

The good side is that he could never rob a bank.

[jjjnettie]

Who ever did it is a virtuoso with the needle. Brilliant work.

[asimov]

Yep. Banks are out Kev:lol:

As some already know, I was a Tattoo Artist for over 20 years (16 years as a professional in a Studio), and I can honestly say that I don't personally like his Tattoo.

But like Asi said above, I too don't judge the exterior. And I'm glad sensible people don't either or I wouldn't have worked for Kerry Packer and Hector Crawford, or have some very high profile public figure friends. None of who were ever bothered by my many Tattoos.

I don't care if anyone has them or not. Same as if they wear Earrings, or drive a Ford, or use an iPhone, or are Chinese, or are vegetarian, or are a Muslim, or whatever. :thumbsup:

I just don't particularly like his design. :)

[asimov]

I'd have it Ken...But not these days. I have enough to contend with now:lol: I've still got 43 of the things..Well last time I counted anyway:D Go away Tatts! No longer wanted! :shrug::lol:

[mikerr]

Earring wearing Chinese Muslim Vegetarians should not be using their iPhone while driving a Ford or any other vehicle. It is just plain dangerous!!

:rofl:

Funnily, the most common first name in the world is Mohammed.
The most common last name in the world is Wong.

I wonder how many Mohammed Wong's there are :lol:
Probably not even one.

[Erg]

His Jupiter has more detail than im ever going to see in an EP.

That's a fantastic looking tatt.

I wouldn't copy it though as I prefer to design my own original ideas.

I can't stand the things especially when females get big tats on their bicepts......yuk, but I am just old fashioned I guess. When I was a young fella working in the North West of WA, a bloke I worked with was desperate to join the local Coffin Cheaters chapter and got a big "Death or Glory tat done on his arm. Problem was the hot sun/his biochemistry kept dissolving the ink on the D and GL so his tat usually read EATH or ORY :P:D. Poor bugga was constantly ribbed by the rest of us and had to go back to the tatoo palour regularly to get it re-inked.

I found a few of my old Business Cards.
They start around 1977 and go through till about 1992 :D

[ballaratdragons]

:lol:

I was Tattooing at Wally Hammonds in Kings Cross back in 1973/74 :P

[leon]

Ya do get around don't ya Ken, well, ya did.

I'm not a Tatt person myself, but each to their own I guess.

Leon

[ballaratdragons]

:lol: yes Leon, I was always going somewhere doing something different, and always at full pelt :P

It's been very quiet for the last 15-20 years though. I slowed down (or wore out :lol: ).

Regardless of whether anyone is a 'Tatt' person or not, I made a very good living out of it when I was doing it.
But sitting in a chair bent over with your ear next to a buzzing machine and not a lot of change of focus for up to 11 hours a day 6 days a week tends to give you a bad back, deafness in the right ear, and bad eyesight.
Once all that happened was when I got out.
I wanted to enjoy life, not make mega-bucks but not enjoy having it :thumbsup:

[bartman]

The question is; Is he such a dedicated Astronomer to have the solar system et al inked on his arm? or??????

I do like the design, and kudos to the artist. The design has ( I'm assuming) had a LOT of thought put into it! Almost everything to do with Space in general....
Is there a hi res version?



I did a google and found a few ......but they were mostly facebook etc pages....so me thinks fake.....
