I will be getting another tattoo as a birthday present to myself within the next week or two. I found this design online and I love it! I am definitely going to get it, but because I found it online, I'm sure about 12.6 million other people have the same design somewhere on their body. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how I could maybe add a little color or something to make the design my own? I really like how simple it is though, so I don't really want to change the design itself. I will be getting it on the right side of my neck, kind of behind my ear, if that makes sense. Anyway.. here is the picture!

I won't be getting it very big. I would like for it to be noticeable if I have my hair up (which is hardly ever, but maybe having a pretty design on my neck will give me the motivation to actually do something with my hair) but also be easily hidden with my hair down if I needed it to be.

I am pretty excited though. I definitely need a new tattoo. uBiggrin

You could always gradiate

Posted on August 17, 2008, 11:35 am

You could always gradiate color in it instead of it being plain black..say from black to dark purple to light blue or something similiar. You could switch the side of the dots, or add another, actually, were it me, i'd take those two dots off the side and do one above and one below the heart, just cause I like things evened out! Theres all kinds of little changes you can make to make it your own without really adding to it!

You can't change the dots

Posted on August 18, 2008, 6:03 am

You can't change the dots cos then it wouldn't be a bass clef anymore, I like the graduated colour idea though.

Maybe you could think of a background?

Yeah, I was going to say, if I move the dots then it wouldn't work anymore.

I really like the design, so I actually don't care much that I found it online. I might do the graduated color thing though. Maybe from black to dark blue to purple or something. I will talk to the artist when I go in to see him on Friday!

You are right about

Posted on August 18, 2008, 10:57 pm

You are right about 109234726456843 people having it. I planned on getting the clef heart myself, but larger. I was planning on doing each clef a different color and no outline. Purple and blue more than likely.

I already have a treble clef so I figured this would make sense.

I think it would be adrable behind your ear. Smiling

I really like the idea of doing each clef a different color! I don't know which colors I would choose though.. haha.

What if you did for

What if you did for example...the treble in red outline and black infill and the bass in black outline and red fill?? They would look like two clefs but still tie in together?

I like that idea, too! I will probably end up doing that or what BK mentioned. My main problem is choosing colors though, haha.

Posted on August 22, 2008, 10:21 pm

I set up an appointment with my tattoo artist today for Monday at 2pm! I am really excited!

I decided to just get each clef a different color with no outline. I chose a pretty turquoise color and a darker yellow. I just hope that the yellow is dark enough that you will be able to tell what the design is.

Anyway.. yay!

Posted on August 23, 2008, 1:26 am

i think if it were me, id be wierd with it. Id do it so it was like a negative. instead of doing the design, you could colour the skin round where the design would be so the negative space makes up the design. kinda like youve put a piece of paper on your skin, painted round it and then took it off.

Did that make any sense? lol
