Thinking about getting an Achewood tattoo
« on: September 05, 2008, 08:36:01 pm »
My friend and I are going to get Achewood tattoos. I've bookmarked about 12 different comics that I might consider...I just can't decide.

At first I grappled with the idea of getting a three-panel strip, but I think I'll just stick with one panel.

What are some of your guys' favorite one-panel achewood moments that would make good tattoos?

Oh, evil Victoria.

You know, I bow to no one in my slavish devotion to this strip but, tattoo? No.

And come to think of it, if you put a gun to my head, the tattoo would not be a picture - it would be some perfect line of dialog. Yes, I would tattoo a thread title on myself, since you asked.

Tattoos work best when the idea is purely graphic.  Something like:

I just got a Krazy Kat tattoo, it's one panel stretched to a 360 armband ... I'd been talking about getting this thing for about four years.

I can't find it, but Ray tearing apart Little Nephew's car by the lake would make an awesome design.

I think a two panel tattoo about KISS going to a grocery store and comparing their cocks to yams is probably your best bet.

man, the passive aggressive ragging on this guy was really unexpected.
As has been mentioned, my position on achewood tattoos is that I dont feel like explaining at parties that "this is a cat from a cartoon i read on the internet"

Just get Philippe standing on it. Conversation for years there.

That is actually a good idea.

I think if you're going to do it, go all out. Get a full-back tattoo of a decision-making chart.

I want to have a tattoo, but there is nothing I would get tattooed on myself. Oh well.
