anyone up for a tattoo challenge?

Phoenix211 · 5 Jun 2008 at 03:50

hey guys,

basically I need to get some text onto a tattoo im getting done. Think is, im crap at drawing!

heres the main image

and here is the text

says Subsisto Procul Nusquam

it needs to go into the banner but also under the feet where it flows round. I cant do it on a pc so was wondering if anyone had the required drawing skills

just incase, the font is ALS Script, in size 36 in that pic, in bold with normal spacing.

also, does it need to be mirrored to get the tattoo done (just thinking about how they transfer it to your body to draw, would text need to be backwards?)

Cheers

lol it doesnt need to be backward, they trace it on to carbon then carbon it onto your body then tattoo it, dont worry about that

Lol what does that translate in to, internet translations give me

To stand Far Nowhere

I think it means

"I never stand far away."

Try HG+P for getting the text added.

What?

It may also mean "Stop at nothing"

There are many interpretations.

ok guys cheers. yeah im using the meaning of stop at nothing, although I understand there are many ways of interpreting it, just like a lot of Latin phrases.

Pretty difficult to read, I may say so.

Is that tiger angry because he his shoulders are on fire, or because someones attached a poor hotel towel to his feet?

ROOOAAAR TIGER!

Phoenix211 · 5 Jun 2008 at 15:05

Ice Globe cheers! size 41 looks a lot better, any chance you can stretch the text so it fills the banner a little more? might help to make it a little more legible.

thank you though!

platypus - basically its my Chinese star sign. born in the year of the tiger with the element of fire. Fire = phoenix which is my other tattoo, it all connects up

Ice Globe · 5 Jun 2008 at 17:04

Righto, here it is in 46 (the only way I'm going to stretch it out). Hope that's all.

Phoenix211 · 5 Jun 2008 at 17:09

oooooh almost, the subsisto and procul are perfect but the nusquam needs to be moved down at the end from uam I would say and the N up a bit, just so it flows with the banner like the subsisto and procul do if you see what i mean? Sorry to be nit picking but its gonna be with me the rest of my life! i shall buy you a virtual pint!

if that is the size of the tattoo then i think the text will be very hard to read.

Why don't you just get the tattooist to sketch it out for you?
