There's a guy running around my town that has a tatoo of that little kid holding a grenade from the Diane Arbus photo.

maybe a line drawing of a telephoto lens on my forearm, but I'm starting my new sleeve next week so it will have to wait

That is brilliant! I wonder what Arbus would think of that? I think she would dig it.

if I was a tattoo artist, I would kill myself if someone came up to me and asked me to ink that on them.

The angel on the left has a strip of film wrapped around it and a camera floating around also.

heh, its why Id almost rather do the tamron telephoto lens instead. to make it a little more simple, fatter lines so it doesnt blur like crazy in 10 years

I have 17 tats so far and none are photo related YET It's not out of the question.....

I can't imagine how hard it would be to tattoo perfect circles. Clearly her photographer couldn't.

Well there's your problem. You should have hired a tattoo artist to do it instead! I would be terrible at giving someone a tattoo as well.

i have tattooed, and perfect circles are easily done as long as the stencil is a perfect circle and the artist can drop smooth lines.

i like the f-stop idea....pretty cool.

No, look at the quote, she said a photographer did the tatoo, not a tattoo artist. :lol:

That was the joke.

I don't have any photography tattoos but I would worry about anything on my hands and wrists. I have a tattoo on top of my left wrist and I have to cover it up for many reasons - especially work related. It still isn't widely accepted.
