Like it, all but the coke bottle. Caffeine is a drug man, not pure. :baddevil:

Don't you know the TRUE definition ofr Edge...

there isn't one.

in fact, there are 8 million different definitions.

nice design

ShawnRefuse - 7-29-2009 at 12:21 PM

I know, just giving shit. It's a nice design.

I was edge for many years (but only claimed it for the ages of 12-16 then just didn't do anything but stopped caring for the title) So I know about the "no real definition".

Where are you getting it done? PVD?

I'm sXe fom the time I wake up until I have my first coffee every day.

XHonusWagnerX - 7-29-2009 at 02:27 PM

Its going on the inside of my left calf (I only have tattoos from the knee down!) and I'm getting it done at Federal Hill Tattoo (on Federal Hill) by a guy I went to highschool with Mike Brusso, who coincidentaly has COCA COLA tattooed on his knuckles, but is not straight edge.

I dig that design.

Voodoobillyman - 7-29-2009 at 05:24 PM

I'll drink a Red Stripe to that! nice one Josh, very you.

JOSH. THAT HAS TO BE THE MOST KICK ASS DESIGN I HAVE SEEN IN FOREVER. Not only does it kick ass, but it repreZents to the fullest.

thanks! I'm obviously not gonna DO the tattoo on myself, but it makes me proud that you guys think its good (especially what Clevo said) because I think its a pretty original idea and I came up with it myself.

JawnDiablo - 7-29-2009 at 06:30 PM

Mostly...

I copied the bottle off a calander I have a work then resized it a bunch of times till I got one that fit the X shape well.

I had copied the sheep from the Minor Threat record, but the ones in that pictrure were redrawn by the tattoo guy thats gonna do it.

I drew drew up the mask, copied it in different sizes, cut it into 5 pieces (the center & 4 bones) and fit it in the way I thought looked best.

Then I took my cut & past job and made a good copy of it.

The X's I drew up, but the banners were done by the tattoo guy too. I'm not very good at banners!

XHonusWagnerX - 7-29-2009 at 10:07 PM

BDx13 - 7-29-2009 at 10:25 PM

haha, awesome!
the Xs and their contents look great.
i especially like the coke bottle.
i'm looking forward to seeing the finished product!

one comment...
not sure if you're planning to do the lettering in the banner exactly as is, but if so, consider cleaning it up a bit. bring it away from the banner borders a bit and make 'em a little more consistent in sizing, spacing and arch. if those are just placeholders, then just tell me to go fuck myself.

Perfectly stated. So fucking cool Bud.

Are you colouring in the Coke bottle, or leaving it black and white?

This is mostly a rough drawing. It was a lot of photocopies, cut & tape, then re-copying and so on. The tattoo artist is going to redraw it so the X's are all square and identicle and the banners are more like you're talking about.

I want the whole thing colored, but I'm torn on the colors. the bottle will be green like an empty old school Coke bottle.

I wanted an aqua stripe at the top of the Minor Threat X, but I'm not sure.

The Slapshot X I just want colored so it goes well with the other two.

Just not sure how to color them or what colors to use!
