Should I do it? And if I don't who will?

Wow, those are really well done! I'm too old school for tatoos but if I were going to get one it would probably be that.

Do it have FMV?

I thinks same... Ink of fico... Problem for ME is tis... I have 3 now. If you some you understand... Very addicting.... Ink.... I say sleep on in a month.... If it's what you can live rest of you life with (because no erase "at least cheap") then do it! (Hershell funny man peobBly will graft that one too) but we only live once that we known of.... Do what make you happy just not regret...

If you fair skin.. Full blown color
If you olive completion black with shading....

Now ask tis... Black shade only.... What look like 10 year from now what you want? Again I have few but wish to only have one mean to me. Fig is great to eat,grown,populate... Think of what EVERYONE LOVE... Ah! We all eat bread!... Will you tattoo loaf bread too?

I play demon oviduct because I start with very small tattoo on my arm... 10 year no like. Chicago $1000 square inch to remove laser. Or $500 for cover up... I cover look like 💩... Now stuck with 💩 tattoo that is 4x size original.

You see! Fig belle... Art belle!... Tatto forever...


Culli... Just do it ! Ahahah!

I've been looking for a new tattoo idea! Now who wants to donate to the cause? Probably $3-400 around here for a decent size like those.

Put it on your wishlist😉

[Taverna78]

Draw up you ideas. Have a poll on most like. Then put one of you baby trees on auction block

Make tattoo your own idea. To have a duplicate in the world is not your own.

Tis mine... First 20 year ago I get drama faces on my arm say "laugh now,cry later... At the time was my way of life... Do something blind no knowing The consequence in the future. Was bad rule to live by and look.. Went from normal look tattoo to ugly cover up that know one known what it is. ( is ferros Face of strength statue that Ashley resides in Egypt that people go up to and pray for strength the statues face opens and releases energy to everybod Face of strength statue that Ashley resides in Egypt that people go up to and pray for strength for statues face opens and releases energy to the person praying) again. Offer mistake. Looked great 5 year ago a do Italian no Egyptian ! But was impulse cover up. Now worst

Second was one I drew as child sun. Make into tattoo.
Stupid....

Last only one tattoo I love because obvious meaning. But I put punchinella in middle of country because he is me exact.

I love tatto but I wish I really take time to think about what I really REALLY wanted.

[strudeldog]

I need to think about it for awhile. I guess I am old school as well, and never thought I would consider one. If I did I would have my daughter draw one up she is a accomplished artist as I agree I would want unique. I just like the look of these 2. Mine would have to smaller, but similar. The needle thought does not bother me, but I let my kids know I thought it was stupid when then got theirs.

I personally like the ones Phil originally posted because they are likely based on old botanical prints. I don't think they need to be made original in that regard. But I have a love for botanical/woodcut prints, so my opinion may differ from others.

Phil, maybe just a leaf with a cut fig on top? JD's photos come to mind as great source material, he takes some fantastic shots. The watercolors that Hollybrook Orchards uses on their plants are nice too: http://036820a.netsolhost.com/figvarieties.html

Very nice Phil. Once old school always old school brother. You should tattoo those babies on a bunch of nice Tee shirts and wear them proudly whenever you feel like it. At least you have the option of taking them off ( removing them ) at will. "Permanent "is a very big commitment and almost a one way street. Best of luck with whatever you chose to do!

[Harborseal]

If you're going to do it use colored ink and do a Galicia Negra or something similarly high value. Be sure to show a cut open view!

[Taverna78]

Depend where you put it as well for size. Once you size it up on the area go a little bigger. You'll thank me later.

I wanted to do fig tree on my leg with roots as deceased family and figs on tree as current family. Kids. Wife. Papa. Ect.

[lilfiggy]

Guys don't do the tattoo. Buy a beautiful print instead. Just think when you are older your plump ripe fruit and plush leaves will be wrinkly and crinkly. Seen some scary ole tattoos down here in Florida too much exposed skin

[strudeldog]

Yes Permanent is a very big commitment so it will not be any Brown Turkey on my arm. It might be the only way I ever manage a Galicia Negra so that's a good idea. Actually I like the Botanical prints, just maybe sized down from those I posted and pretty basic in color. I don't want that open cut fig looking like a bullet wound. wrinkly and crinkly? That's how I like my figs. Seeing how it is permanent I don't want to be stuck with a picked a day early fig for eternity.

[GregMartin]

Maybe God won't take you Phil until the fruit on that tat is all wrinkly and crinkly. He'll be saying, nah, just a few more days!

My Zia as teen has a dagger tattoo on left chest... She is 66 now and dagger is now kings sword! . Remember gravity as well... You make 2 fig and a trunk on you body after while it look like ........ Well..... I think they call it...."
