    Poll-ish.

    Not Polish, no. 

    I need people's idea on which of these pictures is the best for a tattoo. I want the tattoo to portray the relationship that my mother and I have. The lovingness of it, etc. Her favorite animal is a giraffe. I feel like a baby and a mother giraffe would be the tattoo she would be most proud of.

     

     

    I'm most torn between those 3, narrowed down from like 10. 

    Edit - The background in the photos will not be included in the tattoo.

    I like the first the most, just because their ears are pointed towards each other so they seem like they are listening/looking at each other. Where are you getting and are you doing the whole bodies or stopping at the neck? I feel like you could almost join the necks into a heart or a band around an arm or leg.

    I'm just going for the necks. I feel like the legs is just too big of a piece for where I want it.

    I wanna put it above my knee on my right leg. Just because it's a personal thing and I don't really want it hanging out somewhere. I wanna be reminded of it every day I'm getting dressed, etc. Plus, my arms would be too small for something like that I feel. I wouldn't really want it wrapped around.

    And, yeah! I'm glad someone else thought that too! I was thinking about making their necks into a heart, but I didn't really know how it could be possible without making them look distorted. 

    Above my knee, on the other leg, is gunna be a portrait of my grandfather.

    I think the second would be the best for a tattoo in that area.

    This is the closest thing I could find so far: http://www.patriciafield.com/ProductImages/kennethj_merch/kjlgiraffe_small.jpgp/url]

    Also, have you ever seen this pic? [url]http://www.naute.com/funimages/giraffe.jpg
    It's probably not what you're looking for, but I just thought it was cute.

    I like the first image best as well. To me it seems more real and in tune with what you want. I feel disconnected to the others as a viewer because they seem almost too perfect, like they are posed (I know how can giraffes pose).

    It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination. [:-goldfish]

     Aw... that is such a sweet idea for a piece.

    The first one gave me the strongest heart tug.

    I like the second. It would accent that part of your body well.  Are you getting anything around it?  Some foliage would look really cool.

    Yeah, I've seen that picture a ton of times, that's why I kind of don't want it... Because it seems to be so well known. Although quite cute, it takes away from the.. heartfelt feeling in it, I suppose, to me.

    Yeah, that's what I thought when Dani said that, because it is a lot slimmer, and such. I dunno what I'm getting around it or anything yet. I don't plan to get any more pieces on my thigh, that's for sure. Foliage is a good idea. I was kinda just gunna throw it at my buddy/tattooist and let him be creative. But I've yet to get tattooed by him, so I'm not 100% how he is with free reign.

     I think all 3 pictures are good.  And if you took all 3 to show your artist, I'm sure they could incorporate details from each of them.

     If you wanted to resolve the giraffes' necks into a heart shape, the positions of the giraffes in the third image might be better.  That way the artist could just fade out the necks where it was convenient and use color (or whatever ) in the space between them to create that shape.

    I think something like this (pardon the crudeness, I'm not so good with a touchpad mouse, haha) would look really nice! Using the 2nd or 3rd pic as references (the 1st one makes me sad, not happy Sad):

    Emma:

     

    But the thing about that is the fact that I don't see how their body could possibly be positioned like that for them to be like that. I want it to be realistic. 

    And that is for sure a lot better than I could have drawn, haha.
