Description
Please DO NOT ask to have this as a tattoo: be inspired by it, but do not copy in anyway. Get a design that is unique to you. [link]idea: skull bedded in a rose
medium: ballpoint pen on copy paper
duration: 10-15 min.
In my journey to learn and become a tattoo artist, my friend Alf (an long time recipient of the art form) made the comment that the shops I go to may test me with a quick sketch. So he gives an idea, and I create it right on the spot. All comments welcome of course.
Please, no copy or any action which may suggest this is owned or created by your person.

Hello,
If you look at my gallery (even just fydbac.com), you'll see I do have actual tattooing experience. And if you take a minute to look deeper, you'll see what my plans are.Β Thank you for the interest though.
Regards,
fydbac
P.S. Just for future reference in general, such inquiries are best by email or the if the person has a contact page on their official site (as I do). It'll be more professional that way.

This is pretty cool! Not very cliche when the rose and the skull are actually ONE.

I like it as it is, but I just can't help wondering how it would look if the leaves were shaped more like bat wings.....

I rather you just take inspiration from it, rather than copy it in anyway: commission me or your tattoo artist to create a design unique just for you that's simply inspired by this piece here.

Did anyone actually get this done as a tattoo? If not is it still ok to ask the first person for permission?

I'm not sure if anyone got this as a tattoo. If they did, I'd like to see a pic myself
If you're interested in getting this done, I suggest to simply ask your chosen tattoo artist to take inspiration from it.

I don't really see what could be changed without it being drastically different which would defeat the point. And a tiny change would also kinda defeat the point. I'll send a message to the first person you gave permission to and see what happened. I'm not gonna steal this though.

Wait...what if i get it done by you? You're in New York City right? You do tattoos right? Sorry i'm not fully up-to-date on you. I realize this is an old piece you did. Sorry. If you wish to discuss this in email i'm busterbob24@gmail.com
Thanks.

Thank you so much for the invite!
Unfortunately, despite the easy money I know that lies with making flash and flash sheets, I loath flash. I would never tattoo flash on a person, or create designs for that purpose.
I greatly appreciate the invite nonetheless!

I'd give you inspiration credit if I decided to post it.

I really like your style and this sketch is great, especially for a tattoo piece. I love sketchy, black and white works and I used to do alot of them myself while in school/college although nothing as good as this!! I'd be honoured if you had a look at them in my gallery under "sketches" and told me what you thought, as I havent had any inspiration for years but really need to start drawing again.
This is a great drawing to be inked/get inspiration from, I just hope the first person who requested got it and nobody else!

I'm seriously considering this as a tattoo. Would you mind?

fydbac In reply to tatsncats [2010-04-11 04:47:28 +0000 UTC]
I would advise not to, as others have asked and I don't intend any of my designs as flash (which I loathe). I'd suggest be inspired by the concept, and have your tattoo artist create a unique design with that inspiration.
And of course, remember that inspiration does not mean copy

tatsncats In reply to fydbac [2010-04-11 05:21:52 +0000 UTC]
So, that's a don't use my design or anything that remotely looks like it?

fydbac In reply to tatsncats [2010-04-11 06:31:42 +0000 UTC]
It's a warning, and a suggestion, more than anything. I don't believe it'll be wise for you to have the exact design, It'll be great for you to have a design that was inspired by it though. As long as it doesn't look like a straight copy, I think it'll be cool.
So basically what I'm saying is, take the concept of a skull in a flower and see what your artist comes up with. And if it comes out better than this sketch of mine, even better for you! Using the exact sketch, or just changing small things about it, wouldn't be worth your time.

fydbac In reply to Zience [2009-07-30 04:47:57 +0000 UTC]
Someone else asked. And I gave permission. I really hate the idea of strangers having the same tattoo. So please ask the person I gave initial permission to (should be in the comments of this piece), and if they say yes. Then you have my permission.
Oh, and please send pictures of the finished tattoo I'd love to see what your artist did with it.

Not a problem, I mean you drew it. I wasn't going to just request it like I did it.
