You know, when I first had ideas going through my head, this was the very first one. And it's pretty much exactly what I was hoping for.
If you could fit the Dream Big in there somehow, It'll be awesome.
I knew you'd come up with something great.
Thanks so much for this one.

Hey, I haven't had time to work on another idea until now. I've just been crazy busy lately. Here it is. If it is chosen, I want to tweak/clean up the snow boarders a little. Enjoy.

I'm hoping I didn't offend you somehow with my comments. I've noticed you haven't replied back to my last comment.
I really do like the mountains, they're defined nicely and I like that.
I was really hoping you'd come up with another design, like i said, maybe the scenic one. I've got my favorites from everyone and I just want to see what else else you can do. I'm still undecided if I'm going with the goggles or the scenic look.
Like i said, hope i didn't offend you in any way, I just like your style and was hoping to see what else you got.
This tattoo is for the artists to be super creative.

Mountains
February 3 2010 3:14pm
You know, I really like the mountains that you've done in the goggles. I haven't for sure decided whether i'm doing the goggles look or something like a scenic type yet. I was hoping, because I really like the mountains in your design, that you could do a scenic design with the mountains, and the silhouette snowboarders. Including like 3 - 5 of them in different positions all over the mountains. Same size as the one already done. If you think it might look good.
Let me know if you're interested in maybe designing something like this.

YES!

NOW.... It's 4 outta 5 because I'm thinking about the font that you've used.
Don't want anything else changed about the design. I like it the way it is now.
I'm just gonna think about the font, and I'll let you know.
Thanks.
And if you've got any other ideas other than the goggles, by all means, I'd love to see them. I've given artistic freedom on this cause I just saw the snowboarder picture and was inspired to get something unique.
Thanks.

Moved the boarder to what I thought was the best position for it.

As long as your tattoo artist knows what they are doing you should be fine. Most have many years of experience about the questions you have. I would just recommend talking to your artist with any questions before getting your tattoo done. Also, be sure to ask about proper after care which will help it looking vibrant and clean.

I'd just like to see what it looks like with the boarder going the other way on the other side. And kinda more so almost covering up the mountain in the middle. Maybe arcing it just a little over the nose part to fit in the middle more.
It looks Great!
And yes a question. Would trying to put a color in the place blank space for the font prevent it from blending later on? Like white? Would that work? Can you even tattoo white?
I don't know much about tattoos but don't they use a very fine needle to draw the outline, and then a thicker needle to make is stand out?

Hey there,
I moved the boarder up and towards the middle more. As far as the thin parts of the font bleeding... I would say as long as the tattoo artist does it right, they should be fine. This is also something you could talk to your tattoo artist about when you would go in to get whatever design you chose done. Just ask them how thin you should go and they could easily adjust to allow enough space. Let me know if you need any more revisions or have any questions and I will be happy to help.

I like this one better. I like the bands bolded in black like that. Makes them stand out more. And I do like it better with the snowboarder in the reflection.
Only a couple more things.
1. Would it be possible to see the snowboarder more in the middle. So some of it is touching the blue in the sky. I can see it where it is, but it's a little lost in the mountain. Maybe centering it would bring it out more. Unless you put it there and not in the middle for a reason. Just let me know. And
2. I really like the font and I think it suits the design. But do you foresee a problem down the road with the letters kinda blending together because there are a lot of small spaces of white. Example, at the beginning of Dream. Like I said, I do like the font, it fits, and I know there's thousands of fonts to choose from, but do you see this being a problem down the road. They black blending together in the small spaces?

I changed up my design a little after reading your feedback. Still willing to make any other changes. Also, I can clean up the design a little if needed.
Thanks for the feedback!!!

Thanks for the feedback. I could definitely add in a silhouette of a boarder. Also, I could try reversing the text out of the bands... make the band black with the text left as a skin tone. I'll play around with it and see what looks best.

I really like what you've come up with.
I like giving artists the freedom to come up with great ideas. They're artists it's what they do right. The mountains are really important. It's where I first learned how to snowboard. And the "Dream Big" really fits, because it has been a dream to go back to the mountains, and go bigger.
One thing that's kinda missing is the boarder. Is there some way to fit one in, maybe just the silhouette of one, holding the board going through the middle or off to the right side.
I really like the goggles. Just color in the right places. It's great.
The second and last thing... the bands on the side are a little plain. I think they need to stand out a little more. Maybe if they were solid black. But then the words would be missing... Hmm... And I don't know if I would want the words under the goggles or under the bands on the sides? Maybe? Crap!
I'll think about it for a while, and let me know if you come up with an option for the band/words.
But I like your start.
My First Idea

Here is my first idea. Text would read read Dream Big once it was wrapped, but you could change it to any phrase. I'll try to come up with another idea when I have time.
