    Well let me see.....I would say the one on the right is more asteticly pleasing. However, a tattoo is for LIFE not just for Christmas/your birthday/etc...

    At 19 it might be fun to have a cartoon tattoo but will you want to see it day in day out when you are, say, 40?

    A friend of mine got a tattoo when he was 18 and has never told his parents (he's 28 now). He got it done with a best friend, who died about a year later, so it means he'll never forget him.

    Here he is after a very drunken night and we decided to vive him some temporey tattoos :D :hehe:

    Can you spot the real one? Oh we put a big target on the top of his head and he didn't realise it was there until a couple of days later :)

    :worried:

    I've never pictured it as a cartoon tattoo to be honest. My last tattoo I got because I love the artwork, not because I love AFI. I love Jhonen Vasquez's work immensely and he's been a great influence over me in many ways artisticly. ...and I've been wanting this for ages.

    So yes. It is something I want to see every day. Now and hopefully when I'm older. If I hate when I'm older then it means I'll have become a miserable bugger that can't appreciate decent artwork anymore. Which would really suck. But is highly unlikely.

    Funny pic btw :D

    The dolphins on his shoulder?

    Decided on this one anyways...

    Yeah I've said that to a few people if I was really THAT bothered about it... But it was mainly to shut them up :D

    But anyhoo... I didn't get it today :(

    I woke up at 12:30pm sleeping through my alarm clock (well, actually, it was in my hand when I awoke, lol). So I only had time to get a haircut really... Doh. Looks good though, much shorter. I'll dye it tomorrow :D

    Hair is highly over-rated. I got tired of buying shampoo and paying for haricuts, so I just shave mine with a Gilette Mach 3 every morning now. :D

    As for tats, yeah it's hard to stop at just one. Got my first one when I was 19 and still living at home. Made my mom cry. Now I'm wrestling with where to get my third one. No wonder I'm freakin' broke! Case modding and tats! Could I pick something a little cheaper to occupy my time?!?! :grr:

    My tattoos are going to look awful when I'm an old man.. but then frankly, so will I. :)

    No regrets.. if you're old enough to make the choice, you're old enough to live with it.

    Haha.

    But either way, totally agree with you as usual Kna :)

    I also have another view on things, full sleeves always looks good IMO :D

    so, just so I'm sure, you're tactic is to insult me prior to asking for help?... hmmmm :D

    First I converted to grayscale to lower the number of colors. (adjusting contrast and brightness help lower the number of colors even more)

    Then I used the magic wand, tweaking the tolerance so it just selects the colors I wanted.

    Whatever it didn't clear up, I used good ol' fashioned eraser.... "good ol bluey!" ;)

    Will do SpiKe :D

    They cancelled it as they thought it was 'a bit much' for kids like Ren and Stimpy was. You'll realise once you see Dark Harvest or the one where the kid's eyeballs get pulled out :worried:

    Yeah I'd have thunk that Cartoon Network would have bought it for their American 'Adult Swim' section. Oh well :blah:
