    Hello guys… this is my first time in the forums, i was just looking for something like this!

    Ok, i’d like to show you my first tattoo, although i dont like it a hundred percent, somehow i think it looks unfinished. Besides, i dont want it to look like an “S”

    Any suggerence of what should i add to it? and how to make it not look like an S?

    Hi first of all that is some nice ink!
    I really do like it.

    As for adding to it – there is somuch you could do with it.

    To stay within the music theme here is a few ideas;

    Add some floating notes that intersperse through the tattoo.

    Add a treble cleff

    Have an instrument in the background so that the notes are floating up from it eg a chinese harp.

    You could have a sillohuete (damn my spelling :D) of some gloved hands and a baton.

    Add some electric effects that cause the notes to spark.

    Add some cloud or wind shading that weaves through the notes

    Maybe even add some stars or a small touch of floral effect – and no I do not think blossoms look girly on a man if done right.

    Take care
    Matthew

    I’ve photoshopped this… it doesnt have a high quality but it is just an idea..

    What do you think??

    Hi

    That design would most definitely rock.
    I cannot wait to see end results.

    Take Care

    I was going to suggest altering the ‘s’ to look like a treble clef but the photoshopped clouds adds much more depth. I’m always amazed at how many completely different directions a tattoo can be taken in just by getting a few opinions!

    Have you thought about adding any color?

    Even it is just a little, sometimes just a spot or two on a black and grey piece really makes it pop.

    They probably will anyway but I would have them go back over what you already have to make it look “fresh,” especially the staff.

    I really like the notes you added and how you wrapped the beginning up to a point, looks good.

    Filling in the background really gives it that “finished” look too.

    Photoshop is so awesome for doing things like this!

    Yeah, actually some red would look awesome i think. Althought…my idea is to keep my right arm black/grey (dedicated to music) while the left all coloured ^^(dedicated to life). I might add some red anyway!
