I got my first tattoo last Thursday. It’s an elaborate design, all in blackwork, and it’s really rad. I hired a really great artist to do it and I’m really happy with it. I’ll post a pic of anybody wants to see it.
Anyway, I’d like to elaborate on the scene by putting mirrored silhouette of a pigeon in flight on both my pecs. I did a google search to see what other people had done that was similar to this and this is the problem. Every single person w/ this design (it’s usually the diving swallows) seems to be either gay or female. It’s difficult to find a single dude w/ this type of tattoo on Google.
I like the idea and I really don’t care what’s considered cool or macho. My idea is an original spin on a classic design, IMO, but I can’t help but notice that really only women do this.
Should I be concerned about this or who gives?
Thanks.
PS – Nothing wrong w/ being gay!
You know man, the only feminine part about it that I could see would be the typical banner between the birds.
And even that is a stretch.
I wouldn’t let it get to you.
Go out and get that bad boy inked.
Oh and yes, post pics =]
Hi
I have seen quite a few similar designs on straight males – as they say you get done what pleases you.
I wouldn’t worry a damn about it and they make for great tattoos.
Take Care
