So, just got my first tattoo done, and of course, I’m already planning my next one. 🙂 I have plenty of time to figure it out but I think I want to get a reverse of the tattoo I just got. You can see it on my other post.

I’d want it on the outside of my left calf but I’m still not sure what I can do to represent the opposite of my ‘skeletree.’ Jesse Rix will be doing it so I’ll make sure to get his ideas as well. I’ve been thinking of some sort of tree that would be the reverse of a weeping willow, but I’m not sure what type of tree that could be. I would probably want it to be in bloom so something very full of life, maybe a cherry blossom? But I don’t want some ‘fluffy’ picturesque scene either. I don’t know what could be the reverse of the skeleton though. I could do a skeletree but just as a cherry blossom but that doesn’t seem quite right. I’m just looking for ideas as what could be done as an opposite. Could be color or black & grey. Any ideas from the creative genius lurking around on this forum?
Well there is actually a “Tree of Life.” As for the opposite of the skeleton, my first thought would be a kid. The kid could be playing under the tree or even in the tree. I think color for sure as B&G doesn’t really make you think “full of life.”
This one is from another member’s album. It isn’t particularly well done, but good concept imho.
Your tattoo looks great and your idea is very cleaver, however I don’t think it would work that well as you have a lot of ink, so the other would have very little ink and may be difficult to see what is going on. You could always do another opposite, come up with a design that where the current skeleton is, it becomes a tree and the tree becomes a skeleton.
Call me stupid, but I didn’t quite get that, Bluey. Maybe I was reading it wrong?
Defiance, I’ve thought of the tree of life, but i don’t think it’s what I’d want. I’ve thought about children as it’s kind of the obvious way to go but I don’t really like the idea of having children in the tat since I’m really not a ‘kid person.’ I still want the tattoo to have some darkness to it- I don’t want some picture perfect scene, I want something a little more ‘real,’ if you know what I mean. 🙂

Well you specified “opposite.” Dark and gloomy isn’t the “opposite” of dark and gloomy. 😀
I know its hard to imagine. An example of a bright thing with dark twist could be a cherry blossom skeletree. Bright and dark at the same time. Something along those lines-but not that. Get what I’m saying?
5 skeletons hanging by a tree with a corpse standing in front of it is cheery? lol You’re a pretty miserable person aren’t you? 🙂
