Hello, sorry for the late reply. I kind of want to leave it up to each artist to come up with there own idea, I think to go realistic I would not get to many movies in the tattoo which I think would take away from the 80's movie idea. I added graffiti and comic strip as ideas just to let people know that I'm looking for the style of the tattoo to stand out and be a little different from just a portrait. By all means keep asking questions and will answer as best I can. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
WOW!!!!!

Okay! so i want to know...i see youre passionate about footloose, great movie! but other than footloose if you had to choose say 5 or six movies to be represented in the tattoo as main ideals of the tattoo which movies would they be?
80s tattoo
August 4 2012 12:18pm
Just so Im clear on what I am trying to make come to reality for you would be a tat that incorporates all of the different style you have mentioned,portraits being main thing,with realistic high def artwork,animation,comic strip style stuff.So that im not confusing you on my question,you would like some of the artwork to be lifelike and realistic,but at other points cartoon/animation,comic strip style stuff?

Fair enough, it sounds like a really cool idea. I personally don't see the possibility to make them stand out and be recognizable (on skin) Im finding it difficult to picture what you have in mind. However, rule of thumb as mentioned, bigger is better and lasts a life time. So just keep that in mind when you make your choice and enjoy the tattooing process,

Ill have a geez at what everyone else has done when the comp ends.

No problem Nailz, I'm not actually going for portraits in the general sense, it's an 80's movie tattoo but I'm looking for something a bit different

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate you taking the time to get back to me.
Thanks for the Invited

Aloha nzd, thanks for the invitation. This is a sweet idea and you have many elements to incorporate. Id hate to be "the party pooper" but with ink the canvass (skin) determines the amount of detail that one can add. I doubt you could get more than three portaits in a half sleeve let alone movie scenes. Of course as mentioned you can always extend to the forearm and chest with more movies.

Im not gunna join cause I dont think I can make it work for you. However that doesnt mean other cant. For you to make an informed decision I suggest looking for three movie references (close up and in focus) probably best to have one on the shoulder, another on the bicep and the other along the tricep to the inner bicep. Then perhaps one movie background to tie them all together EG: Londen Werewolf scene or something.

Im not gunna say much more, I could go on for hours and Im sure I look like a know it all d!¢k as it is lol.
Im keen to see what these folks have in store for you.
Good luck everyone, NailZ

I like both but the fact that you are asking the question is very interesting. It makes me think that this was a great idea. I love the fact that each person will have there own concept of how this design should look. I say go with your gut, I am looking for an 80's movie tattoo but it has to be something outside the box.

Keep asking questions and I will try and answer them as best I can
July 31 2012 4:38pm
im working up ideas, wondering which characters are favs, you like good and evil or more evil, love the movie selection;)

Nevermind
July 31 2012 2:37am
Its my fault, i put down half sleeve / breast plate. To be honest just go with half sleeve and if i decide to go bigger i can come back and start a new contest.
nevermind
July 30 2012 8:04pm

Hi Ambergir
July 30 2012 2:30am
Can’t really say out of what you have mentioned what I would like; I am hoping that you guys can just be as out there as possible. What I don’t want is something quite plain; I would like to see something that’s going to blow my mind,

I know that doesn’t really help you determine what I want ambergir but I hope it helps determine what I don’t want?

Top 10
July 29 2012 11:39pm
Do you have a Top 10 of these to narrow it down? Top 15, Top 20... or just put them in order of preference? Love this idea. I'm an 80s movie and music freak :D
Just to verify
July 29 2012 10:14pm
Are you wanting a collage of characters, scenes from the films, or do you want the different characters interacting in some way? I have a few ideas, but wanted to clear it up before getting started.
