So, I need some help...
 
I am planning on getting a tattoo soon. I know what I would want to get but I cannot design it due to my lack of artistic ability.

I was kind of at a dead point on designing a tattoo until I was reading Jason762's thread on, well, designing a tattoo.

So here's my idea.

I want a gasmask.

kinda like this... except for the straps in the back, i just want the typical looking front-mask part.

But I want it to look like it was painted on me with a stencil and almost like the paint is running down my back.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Close? If you have Photoshop, try using Image/adjustments/threshold for the stencilly look, then 'liquefy' in the filters to make drips.

Just make sure you don't put it near your butt.

It'll look like the tat became that way from some overly toxic flatulence. :lol:

J/k. Actually looks really badass. :thumbsup: Is there meaning behind it, or just looks cool?

Haha, I plan on getting it on my shoulderblade. It has several different reasons behind it.

1) My dad is in the army and he happens to be biological chemical response unit.
2) My best friend and I are going to get it done together and basically, for the lack of an unesessarily long story, gasmasks are like our reminders of each other...
3) and I think it does look pretty bad-ass.

and NG, that looks amazing. I love how it looks stencilly but the liquefy thing isn't what I had in mind... maybe I'll just go with the stencilly look without the paint drips.

And I don't have PS cause I'm on Macintosh :-\

PS runs best on a mac. Adobe and Apple have practically been partners for years.

I know people who've used it on Mac but I never really got into it. I'll check it out. :thumbsup:

How about something sort of like this?

How to:

Image > Adjustments > Desaturate
Image > Brightness/Contrast > Up both
Copy image, repaste.
Image > Brightness/Contrast > Up both
Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen More.
Sharpen More.

If you want them to overlap so one is in the other, it's a matter of layering/masking/pasting into.
If you want them side by side, it's simply a matter of making a double-sized new background, choosing the images and edit/copy, edit/paste onto the new doc.

So, from your original image, after a little cleaning up, this is what I have:

No dripping paint but I expect that you can ask the tattoo artist what the best way to obtain that is. Good luck, show us the final result when/if you get it! :thumbsup:

optik_nerve 06-01-2006 11:15 PM

Hey Tippler, that looks really good.

Alot cleaner and finer than the one I had.

Thanks alot. :)
