So. Animorphs has been apart of my life for about half my life, as it has been for many of you. I love tattoos. I have been thinking for awhile now about getting an Animorphs tattoo. Well I have a few ideas and my Tattoo guy usually helps with the creativity. However, he won't be as much help coming up with ideas for this because he doesn't know anything about Animorphs. I'm really liking the hork on HBC and want something similar. Then I got thinking I could move this to my upper back and do an entire scene. In space. It would be epic.
Ideas? Pictures? Sketch me something or find me something you think would rock. I want to start planning this and make an appointment because Kyle is usually booked a month or two out. Thanks guys!

I always wanted an Animorphs tattoo. Something small and simple. The word <Hope...>, Elfangor's dying words. I think it represents the series beautifully.
If you want an entire scene I like the idea of a scene from the Hork-Bajir Chronicles, one of the battles with Hork-Bajir dropping from trees and fighting the Yeerks.
Or if you want a Space Battle I would definitely incorporate the Blade Ship somehow. Perhaps Elfangor's last battle, with the Dome crashing towards Earth as a space battle rages.
idk, I like far more simplistic things. I think that less is more as far as meaning goes, but if you want something elaborate, those are my ideas. If you want something simple I would just get a character, like an Andalite or a Hork-Bajir (you could always get a tattoo of Aliciana in battle stance or mid-morph or something :D ).
-
i just have to find someone to draw it up for me lol. hmm. yeah im not the best artist.
i like your ideas though! i'll have to look online and see if there's anything that catches my eye i can work with too.
i always liked this form hbc.. and someone did it really well.

ive been considering that one for awhile.
-
That's one of my favorite images from the series. I think it would look awesome in tattoo form.
-
all purdy and colored... i would get that on my leg though if its just that. doesnt seem a right fit on my back...
-
How many tattoos do you have now, Alic? You need to do a full photo portfolio of them all! :P
-
lol probably. i have 5 right now. got my first one at 18. i will never stop...
-
I love this picture too.
I thought... maybe you can incorporate a Blue Cube in your tattoo. For example 2 characters from 2 races, one holding a Blue Cube and the other one who gonna touch it. Or something like that. It would be a new picture, original, not took directly from a cover.
-
I could try drawing a design for you if you would like. Just tell me what you want. Here (http://i492.photobucket.com/albums/rr290/Drake_Blear/Animorphs.jpg) is a sample of some Animorphs art I have done for reference. (It even has part of a hork-bajir and a space battle. ;) )
-
How much do tattoos hurt, Alic?
I'm getting an RAF/Animorphs tattoo. As soon as I have the money. My brother in law knows some artists :)
-
I can't see the picture cause I'm on my phonebut ill check tomorrow!
It depends where you get em. All 5 I have are above the waist on my shoulders, forearm, chest, and upper back. The one on m spine wasn't great. And my chest was okay until he was tattooing on my sternum. I was not a happy girl. Used loa of profanity.
But its a few hours of pain, and then a week of ax sunburn feel, then nothin! To me its worth it
-
Oh, man, I totally agree. I'm tattooed, too, and the pain is worth it. I dislike that awkward peel-y stage the most because I kills me not to pick at it, but you think about it--it's a week/two of discomfort but then it's just a totally awesome part of your skin forever. My biggest problem is that my current job isn't 100% thrilled with the fact that I have a tattoo, but I had it when they hired me, so that's their problem. It's not visible most of the time when I'm in uniform but sometimes I have to wear a dress and you can see it then, so I have to come up with creative solutions to make it less visible.
An Animorphs tattoo is neat. I don't know if I would ever get one, but it wouldn't be out of the question, since it's the interest that I've had the longest. If you get a big battle scene on your back you should totally take a picture because I imagine that it would be AWESOME.
-
Pictures are a must no worries. I never leave my fellow rafians out of the loop.
I'm lucky my job doesn't care about tattoos. I'm up for a supe position (interview is tonight actually) and my supe is sleeved out thanks to her dad being a tattoo artist.
-
It's so hard to decide for the tattoo... I mean, it was easy for my first tattoo, I wanted a dragon, took a dragon, and I love it. But now I want a snake and people say "A snake, after a dragon... so usual! everybody do snake and dragon..." But I don't really know how to make it original (except that I want a coral snake). At least, an Animorphs tattoo will always be original ^^ You also can make a tattoo of a person who is morphing, for example Cassie becoming a bird of prey, a little like this one: http://dameg.deviantart.com/art/Animorphs-C-series-Tobias-126670173 (http://dameg.deviantart.com/art/Animorphs-C-series-Tobias-126670173) or this http://dameg.deviantart.com/art/Animorphs-C-series-Cassie-2-128952730 (http://dameg.deviantart.com/art/Animorphs-C-series-Cassie-2-128952730) for a wolf (sorry for the horrible pictures, I should color them...)... but you can imagine for every animal. (I try to give ideas to the RAFians who would like an Animorphs tattoo... maybe in exchange they'll give me ideas for my snake ^^')

Jess and I are getting our Animorphs tattoos on our road trip this summer.
*nudge* right Jess?
Alic, I think that a wrap-around of the Hork-Bajir/Aldrea scene on your leg would be epic, or a spread of a whole war scene. Hmm...now I'm getting drawing ideas. :D
Here's a picture of Dak I drew awhile back: http://terenia.deviantart.com/art/Dak-Hamee-84231993 (http://terenia.deviantart.com/art/Dak-Hamee-84231993) I imagine something like that, or Aldrea's face would look cool on a leg or arm or something.
EDIT: Also, idk who did this picture, but I love it: http://th06.deviantart.net/fs6/300W/i/2005/113/c/d/Animorphs__Hork_Bajir_Pair_by_Ferahgo_the_Assassin.jpg (http://th06.deviantart.net/fs6/300W/i/2005/113/c/d/Animorphs__Hork_Bajir_Pair_by_Ferahgo_the_Assassin.jpg)
-
I used to know who Feragho the Assassin was, she was on another Animorphs forum under another name...she also does some really great dinosaurs...what the heck was her screen name...
As for tattoos, I'd like one, but probably a small, simple Animorphs one. Or, something Animophs-related incorporated into something a bit larger.
I love the idea of an Archaeopteryx skeleton ( http://migration.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/archaeopteryx.jpg (http://migration.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/archaeopteryx.jpg) ) with the Latin phrase, underneath, < Omnia mutantur, nihil interit > (Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.)
I guess the only Animorphs part of it would be the thought-speech brackets...but still :P
-
I wanna get this tatooed.

O hey there
;D
I can't believe I've never joined this forum until now. I used to flit from Animorphs community to Animorphs community on a semi-monthly basis. I used to go by Bergen on those... various forums, hah. I remember you Myitt, and lots of others... Ember Nickel, The Lady, Early, probably dozens I'm forgetting.
But yeah, I'm the artist of that one Hork-Bajir pic. Ugh, it looks horrid to me now, maybe I'll redo it one of these days. :P
-
Ferahgo! I know you! You probably don't know me, but your name has definitely been on my 'Anifan' radar for awhile now.
Hi! Welcome to the forum! And great pic!

Hiya, glad you joined! :D Love the raptor sigs, of course! (is it 1) Deinonychus and 2) if it is, antirrhopus or ostrommaysorum? XD God, I'm a nerd. Typing this from the airport on my way to meet Karen Chin in Colorado...>.< gotta get my Animorphs fix, I guess...okay...pryi ng my hands away from the keyboard now...!)
-
Ok, I'll make an intro thread later today when I'm feeling less lazy. ;)

It's Deinonychus antirrhopus. I'm pretty sure ostrommaysorum only applies to the larger type specimen of Deinonych's larger cousin, Utahraptor.
Have fun in Colorado!

And don't forget the link to your DA ^^
I think I already Deviantwatch you, but more people will come if you add it in your intro.

The Snooki Song....XD
Somehow I don't think that's what you meant to get tattooed, Patty XD
-
I think I accidentally pasted it when I click on my phone it asks to paste what I have copied lol
-
Ahhhh. I was confused.
-
I think an Animorphs tattoo would be amazing! I especially liked the idea of <Hope...> that would be so cool!! You guys have awesome ideas!
