Well actually 3 tattoos, one for me and one for each of my sisters. All super similar to each other though.

 

So backstory! My little sister turns 18 in a few months. When that happens me and both of my sisters intend to get sibling tattoos. We decided to go with Zelda themed as it is a game we all played as kids and we all can relate to. 

 

We talked it out and decided that each of us would represent one portion of the triforce, My elder sister we decided was power, with me as wisdom and my younger sister as courage.

 

So far we think we each want a triforce with some form of eye of truth in the middle(reveals the truth, and so reveals which part of the triforce each of us embodies) and with each of our tattoos having the gem that represents our portion of the triforce within that section of triforce leaving the other two empty.(so upper triforce contains the goron's ruby, the left containing the zora's sapphire, and the right containing the kokiri's emerald).

 

I realize this may have been a slightly confusing explanation, and i will try my best to clear up any confusion. 

 

The contest will be judged by myself and my sisters, and to the winner I will gift $50 worth of steam games of the winner's choice.(may change to a steam gift card instead if enough people would prefer, I wasn't certain if the codes could be given internationally or i'd have gone with that to begin with)

 

 

Oh right, this particular contest ends October 1st. I am trying to get multiple artistic representations made out to give us options.


First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

This is an absolute awesome idea. If I had any skill I would attempt but trust me... it wouldn't be pretty.

Tattoo artists will do a consultation with you so that they can discuss what you want and try and give you the best they can.

I recently had my back tattoo drawn out and she designed something that I couldn't of even imagined. It felt like she was in my brain because I was so bad at explaining what I wanted but yet it was perfect when she showed it to me.

Oh i know, and i have 2 different tattoo artists working on their versions. But I wanted to get multiple to choose from so i know im getting what i want.

alright, I'm trying my hand at it

 

question, what kinda eye do you want, and do you want me to try to make the triforce/gems have depth, or just keep them flat?

some variation on this, but i feel this is a bit dull. http://media3.teenor...50-white.v3.jpg so color and even overall design can be areas for you to play with as long as it is loosely based on it so that you can tell it is ment to be an eye of truth.

 

And the gems i think should have depth, however I'm not absolutely set one way or another so please feel free to design it as you will.
