Awesome work Toni! I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished!

Toni all that Ink looks awesome. I've always wanted to get ink done but cannot think of what I want done or where. I have seen several people around where I live that have tats but nothing as elaborate or detailed as yours. I have the utmost respect for anyone willing to do that to themselves, and as long as it looks good I personally don't see any issues with tats at all.

Can't wait to see the total work on your leg and back when it is fully completed.

 

[TrolleyDave]

Nice tat Toni, I'm well impressed. Really original work as well. Did you come up with the design and then the artist used it?

 

[Lazycus]

Wow, Tony. Maybe I missed it in your other posts but when exactly (what age, how long ago) did you get the vision to transform yourself via tattoos/implants/piercings into this nuclear powered cyborg? I always think of a combination of "The Terminator", Cy-5 from WarGods, and a little bit of Iron Maiden's Eddie (in his Somewhere in Time cyborg incarnation) when I see your progress. Incredible stuff. Other than personal satisfaction what is your goal once you have finished (if that's possible) with your transformation?

 

[Hehe Moo]

Whoa.. that.. is EXTREME.

 

[CurleyAU]

nice.. cant wait to see the finished project.. Thats if you dont die of pain beforehand..

Be sure you'll see it Densetsu3000

To tell you the truth.....I can't wait either!!

Thanks...You see, here where I live, people aren't getting tattoos so often, and if they do, it's usually some little discrete design, that can easy be covered up..Few people that are really "extremely" tattooed or pierced, are my friends!!
I have my personal philosophy about tattoos, and body modification in general..I believe that one is his/her own commander and owner of his/her body, and should have freedom to do whatever he/she wants, as long as that doesn't affect other people..
Ugly tattoos are really bad sight, but thanks God, I'm surrounded with people who have quality work on them!!

For my full work (everything I've planned, you'll have to wait several more years..

, but for the whole leg (this what is currently in progress), it should be done by the end of the year!!

Thanks Trolley, I'd like WildWon to see it too...But he's very busy lately....I'll send him PM..
Everything I have done so far, was my own idea....I make rough sketch (I'm not THAT good as my artist), and I present him my thoughts, and stuff I'd like to have....and he draws another/more professional sketch, and then we fit it to my desires!!

So you could say it's my idea, my design and my tattoo, with the touch of his personal art style!!

Hey, thanks for that question, I'll try to answer it in best possible way..
You see, I'm into radiation since I was 15-16 years old, and robots and mechanical creatures since I was 10-12 years old..
I started with my interest in tattoos at early age, but I was just learning and reading about that..
My first tattoo was done at my 18th birthday...I cut my school, and got it done..
I'm now 20 (21 in January, 15th), and my main goal is in next 5-10 year get the whole right part of my body mechanical!! I mean, tattooed like I'm a robot inside, but the skin is torn apart or pealing, and you can see inner structure..
I'm very lucky because the guy who's doing it, is one of the best tattoo artists in Europe, and my friend..SO I trust him completely, I think I couldn't do something like this with someone I personally don't know very well..
You saw my back piece, right?
Well, we had rough sketch, but he made some thing as he was tatooing, and I didn't know how it'll look like until we were done..But that's just the trust I have for him..

My main goal is actually a personal satisfaction that I'll look that way, I have no other interests than that, because it's very hard to live with such tattoos here in Croatia..
I mean, I had a hard time dealing with people when I had Mohawk (and that is removable, I can just cut it off).....this what I'm doing now is undoable!! But I'm very confident person, and I really thought all this trough......
If you have any more questions feel free to ask!

Nah, I won 't die, although, it really feels in a way I'd rather die, than have to stand that feeling for few hours....

 

[papyrus]

I'm sorry for this bump, but it didn't feel right to create another topic about tattoos, just to show of my new project..

Yesterday, I had 5 hours long session of tattooing, and before that 2 hours of drawing the sketch directly on my leg..
I started with my mechanic leg piece, and we did the hardest (and most painful) part, upper part of the foot..
The whole tattoo is going to be covering everything up to my knee..I'm guessing two more sessions till we're done......
It hurts like hell...I can't walk very well at the moment, my leg is so swollen......but you know what....It's WORTH it....
I hope that some of you, who like stuff like this, will appreciate it.....

And I'm pretty sure that most of you guessed that I'm a freak for radiation and robots, so..you'll understand motif!!

Haha, when Dylan wrote that in Radioactive Force topic, I didn't actually know if that's an insult or what? I had to check the word up....I found out that it's extremely, but good......

So thanks.....I do my best to make a freak out of myself

Haaaahahaha..

 

[Szyslak]

Whoa.

fukkin awesome Toni.
I can't wait until I have the time / money / impetus to get my leg done. I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I need to turn all these scars into some cool art, and the surface nerves are dead anyway, so I don't think the pain will even be an issue.

Has anyone tattooed over big scars before? Any idea how well they take the ink?

Heat burns, chemical burns, radiation burns, electricity burns, cuts, road rash, repeated scars (think road rash x many times the same place), surgical?

In the experience of my friends road rash is not so bad (repeated gets a bit more difficult), chemical is not bad assuming it has healed enough and still works (bleached skin aside), small cuts and good (as in properly done to minimise scarring) surgical are also usually OK, electricity is usually OK but it tends to involve dead nerves which some do not like it, heat burns assuming they are healed are doable but it depends on the amount of scarring (read what degree burns and how well were they treated).
All this being said I already mentioned the ritual scarring approach to tattooing and done properly it looks amazing, perhaps consider incorporating rather than covering up.

@Toni Plutonij I have seen that style of art before and it never gets old. Looks like you have a good artist and I implore you to keep them on, so much good work have I seen unfinished because an artist left......

 

[Shelleeson]

Do you like tattoos/piercings? it depends who does the work (tattoos mainly but also piercings) , i was watching miami ink the other day and some of the work done on there was amazing but some can look like crap
Why? they make you look "different" and also tell a story or mark an occasion
What style you find most interesting (biomechanical, tribal, animals, cartoons etc.)? not really a set style, a nice piece of art with a story is very interesting
Do you have any?

Show off...... wrong forum

What kind of scars do you have....I know that some tattoo artists refuse to work over more serious scars, because it's a "young" skin, and it's prone to refusing the ink.....
If you decide to get it, even if your nerves weren't dead, I don't think that pain would be the reason to stop you!!

I know some people with tattoos over scars, and it looks pretty normal, maybe a bit paler over the scar......

Thanks!
And that's pretty good post on scars, I agree with that!!

And don't worry about my artist, as I stated before, his my friend, and I already talked to him about all my plans.....He's all for it, and his very excited to do it..His mainly happy, because I give him certain dose of freedom, while he's doing me.....
With other people, he has to do tattoos strictly....But with me, his personal creativity comes out..

It's not a wrong forum for showing off.....I like to learn about the people with whom I'm socializing..And bodymod. is kinda personal thing, so showing off tattoos is interest and "educative" for me....

If you have any, I'd like to see it..


Two more pictures (artistic):

Yeah, that's bad regarding tattoos!!

And I get what you mean by not showing off piercing, tell me.....did it hurt much?
I have a friend with the pierce in same location, and he said that it isn't too painful...But I kinda think it really MUST hurt..

Personally, I'm not into, nor have any tattoos or piercings (none that were purposely created anyway), but I respect people's rights to defile their bodies any way they wish.

People "defile" their bodies in lots of other ways that may not be so apparent. I consider drugs, smoking and drinking a form of defilement (not that I have anything against drinking

). I think what Toni does is artistic.

 

[Szyslak]

@Toni, FAST: My leg scars are from a bone exit wound and multiple surgeries. The surgical scars aren't nice and clean because they've had to cut in the same place a few times. I guess I was thinking about an approach like FAST suggested. Incorporating the scars into the design rather than covering them up. I was just curious how well they would take ink if the design went across some of them. Sounds like it will take the ink, just maybe not quite as well as the surrounding area.

Thanks for the info guys.

If you decide to get it, even if your nerves weren't dead, I don't think that pain would be the reason to stop you!!

Thanks Toni. It hasn't stopped me from doing anything yet.

Well, that's nice to hear......
I really dislike people who talk down to others, just because their own personal choices, or ways (that are different than others)..

Thanks, and just to point out

I don't drink, I don't smoke and I don't do drugs (I never even tried to smoke or do drugs!!)..

And, my tattoos ARE indeed the one way I like to express myself....and I find them very artistic too!

Uffff....that's bad, I'm sorry to hear you had such problems with broken leg!! Actually, it would be very interesting if you try incorporate it with tattoo design, although I don't think you would have much problems with tattoo going over it......But shade of ink would be different from non-scared places, that's for sure..
I'll ask my friend when I see him next time, he'll know a bit better about that....

And yeah....about pain...you wouldn't believe, but last time I was at my friends tattoo salon, there was this girl with already drawn sketch and ready for tattooing, and she didn't let tattoo artist to start, it lasted for about 1 hour, and then decided that she's too afraid of pain, and she left!!

But yeah, I've been trough a lot with pain, and that actually never stopped me from doing something neither..

erm because without going into great detail it didn't any nerve endings the way i had it done
the anaesthetic really hurt more because i have a reaction to that, so i was in discomfort for hours but not because the piercing hurt me

i really love your tatt's though
