Getting A New Tat

Er.. technically my first tat. Here's what I plan on getting:

It'll be on my right arm, from an inch or two below my shoulder to an inch or two above my forearm. It's from a Dali painting called 'The Temptation of St. Anthony'. What do you all think?

I'ma getting it on my 18th birthday this Friday, while I'm in California.

Dali's paintings always ended up looking a bit surreal and distorted.

I suspect such distortions (such as the horses rear legs which look like they are 8 ft long) might end up looking like the artist was way too drunk instead of an artistic statement.

Otherwise the content is substantially more cerebral than many of the tacky tats these days.

Well, being a Surrealist artist and all... :)

Hey, he was good at his job, wasn't he? :smile:

Riverside, Upland, Whittier, Beuna Park

Not sure of where the shop is located, but I believe it's on Beach Ave somewhere.

:lol: yeah

There's only two things in Beuna Park.. mexicans and Knotts. I should know, my family is mexican.

And I'm sure you can tell which part of family lives where. One family lives in Riverside / Upland, and the other family lives in Whittier / Beuna Park.

kinda weird how the front hooves are backwards...but if its what you want and you're going to like it forever, go for it

That's fucking badass man, Salvador is a great painter...pretty timeless, I wouldn't be worried about it going out of style like most tattoos do over time.

if you are mexican, shouldnt you know it's BUENA park? LOL. cool tat, but the legs look kinda crazy.

IMO i dont really care for it. but hey its your arm not mine right LOL :lol: Good luck

That'll be a badass tat, but the shading will take fuckin ages.

You really think?

My sister's fiancee got the 40oz to Freedom cover art done on his back at this place I'm going to, all colors and shading looked perfect and it was a four hour job, all in one sitting. So hopefully they can get this done in one sitting, too.

I hope the picture stands for something in your mind as in more than it's a cool looking pic. Cause cool looking pics aren't so cool looking after time, but if it has some meaning to it then I'm sure you'll always like it. Tattoos are something you can't just jump into, I know so many people that say "I wish I wouldn't have gotten this one, or this one..." So just think about it man...

I agree with kicker solo. I hope it has some meaning beyond 'it looks cool.'
