Hi Kids,
I'm back from Aber...got back friday, spent the evening eating fish and chips, drinking japanese beer and watching 300 (THIS IS SPARTAAAAA!!!). Anyway its such a freeking awsome film and the actual real story behind it is one that I love, it is inspiring....*gush off* I had a little demon on my shoulder saying in my ear "you want another tattoo dont you...you want aspartan dont you" I originally thought of getting the 300 as it is written on the dvd case in red as a small tattoo but then ...


Shock horror! B2 actually came up with a tattoo suggestion (he hates them, he really does not like them so this is why I am so shocked) he said the black silhouette of the spartan helmet and spear that he saw ages ago while looking up stuff about the story, there is a scene in the film where leonidas is looking across the land and it is like that the helmet facing left in profile but with the spear too.

We looked, tried google images and no dice, we found several gay looking people in fancy dress as spartans...and one as a roman which was a bit confusinf, some cartoon images and a series of comedy wet floor signs proclaiming this is sparta! but no silhouette design, if anyone can find it for me I will be eternally grateful,

Many thanks
Ez

In case you haven´t done it already, do a google image search for

1. "trojan helmet"
2. "spartan helmet"
3. "greek helmet"

There are tons of images, but they´re all missing the spear. :)

well i found one and with my awsome ms paint skills I made what I wanted lookee


although I would have liked to try it with maybe 2 crossed spears tip upwards under the helmet (bit of a skull and cross bones thing) but paint is a tad limited in that respect lol

I'm not really into tattoos either, but Olgaline's suggestion is definitely worth considering.

I think you should go for a large-ish one and then go to the supermarket and buy your fella a couple of packets of nappies and some baby wipes.

I really like that ez.

do you have a tattooist you trust / use, get them to do a few sketches around that and see what they come up with?

the little statue? I was unsure at the start but im thinking yes tbh now, I was sure of the helmet at 1st but this one...well if you see actual pictures of the statue its loovely (though all the ones I could find leonidas had a pigeon on his spear rofl so i had to paint one lol)

I'd take all your favourite suggestions along to your Trusted™ tattoo parlour, and get them to sketch up a bespoke design for you using the best elements, imo. :)

oh no I dont see the point in getting microscopic ones but I like them on my wrist so need to be a bit "dainty"...otherwise I'd go for having it about 15-20cms along my side, that'd be the shit tbh but then B2 would certainly leave me.

And my preferred tattooist is one where you go in slap your design on the counter, he does it and you pay. I did look into going to one of these "hand drawn bespoke" tattoo parlours and tbh it was all a bit pretentious and bloody expensive lol, the dude actually said "Oh but we work with the lines and natural contours of your skin, that means its much harder and the artist does it all free hand..." which put me right the hell off, I mean what if he's having an off day??

end up with a frigging pee wee herman tattoo, i think not matey.

he'd walk out because of something as petty as that? :(

Sometimes relationships can be hung on the very thinnest of threads...
