Tattoo inspiration…Lake District mountain ranges

I knew you’d all love it as much as me

To be fair, if you like it that’s all that matters.

Surely a map of Lancashire and Cumbria tattoed on the back would be better? You could have Blackpool at the bottom…

If I were getting something permanently etched onto my body I think I’d find someone that spoke the same language as me to do it.

And if that etching was meant to be representative of a place that was important to me, I’d be tempted to use someone that new what a Lakeland mountain looked like, or I’d probably avoid giving him a badly embroidered patch as a reference!

I’m just going to jump the gun and ask the question you’ll be asking yourself in 2, 5 or 10 years time… What on earth were you thinking????

😆 can always rely a tattoo thread for a bit of a laugh……may start one of my own later posting my recently acquired ones!

If only someone had been around to give this fella a hand and shown him the error of his ways. He’d probably have been successful if he’d known how to paint a portrait properly.

It’s an interesting tatt OP and as long as you’re happy with it, who give a shit what the narrow minded think.

A friend has this. Ashness bridge.

There’s always…

They could turn it into a lovely flowery elephant for you

cos it looks like a thingy.

Not as much as this does:

N.S.F.W!! (It’s only a belly button, but…)

Maybe Honister slate mine, in a similar style…

He was on Tattoo Fixers – got a massive 3 Wise Monkeys tat done over it.

Good point. I hadn’t considered that the OP might have gone to Spain to find the next Picasso. It all makes sense now.

bit of artistic license in there so not an exact representation
Artistic license?? More like Chinese whispers… Looks nowt like Coniston Old Man… I’m not sure it really looks like a mountain either…

Plenty of artworks don’t look exactly like the original, but everyone’s a critic, right? 🙄

You put a tattoo pic on the web (STW in particular), you know what to expect.

Michaelangelo could’ve put the Sistine Chapel up on here and someone would have found a flaw…

Bit blousy innit!

Just finished a couple of hours with Tom who I recommended back at the start of the thread. Top bloke and his work is awesome

I would have preferred it without the trail going up the mountain on the right.

Nice ink dude

Is it the path to Cirith Ungol? 😉

Photoshopped ?

Looks too good to be a TaT.

Nah no photoshop, just a B&W filter to hide the redness 😯

Nice but… seems odd to get it done that way up.
When you look at it aren’t all the mountain upside down?

Was always going to be hard to get the right perspective. I have a raven inside my left forearm that is upside down to everyone apart from me.

Way I figured this one is if I’m holding mt forearm in front of me then they’re the “right” way up

Love those David Cote ones.

Get Napes Needle tattooed on your stomach.
