i watched an episode of Miami Ink not so long bk, and it showed this person getting a tattoo...

ill try and explain the tattoo too you..

ok it was a skateboarder (a silloutte) with the twin towers (silloutte) in the bk-ground, and it had in calligraphy writting, "skate or die" or words to that effect, around the bottom, in a bowing type effect, with ghostly shadows around the whole thing, it looked sweet mate, ill try and find a pic of it for you....

it turned out that his brother found him dead in his apartment, and his death was a suspected cocaine overdose...

the forensics ran some tests and found out that it was a cocaine overdose...

Hey! I've drawn a couple of skate-inspired pieces, and am always looking for more projects. Check out my art, and if you think of something you'd like me to sketch up, lemme know!

Apparently the HTML is "off" so I can't create a link for you, but just cut and paste the addy below into your browser:

You'll have to put the- h t t p : // -in front of it (minus the spaces), it won't let me post it for some reason...

Sorry to drag up an old thread but i have a skating tat.
I used a pic of myself doing a kickflip down a stair gap and just shaded it in full black.So it is effectively a tattoo of myself lol.
My only problem is it is at the bottom of my arm and i think i am going to have to cover it up as the tattoo i am getting between my elbow and wrist doesent really go with the skating one.

Sorry about the dodgy phone pic

ETM, I love that it's a tattoo of "you" and that makes it have meaning...those are my favorite types.

And welcome to the forum!
