I know theres a couple threads floating around of peoples' amazing Fett and Star Wars related tattoos... I would post in there but I don't wait to intrude on anyones thread and I wanted your input on it anyway heh...

I want to get the mythosaur either on my arm, my forearm, or my leg. Where do you guys think i should get it? I've seen a guy on here with it on his forearm, that was pretty awesome! I saw one with it on his arm. What do you guys think?

Also, if you have any cool mythosaur designs I'd like to see em. I was gonna do a plain black or red mythosaur skull solid color but if you have a cool design id like to check it out! Thanks in advance guys.

This is mine:

its got all of Boba's colors (maybe not accurate but similar)
It is on my calf

My advice to you is to get it where you feel comfortable showing it off
 
truthfully i think you can't go wrong with placement with that tattoo. It just looks cool everywhere!

Personally I think the best place for it is on the left upper arm, right where it would be on the armor, in black or dark red, oh and it should be the ROTJ version lol. But it does look good just about anywhere, any color or design.
 
Exactly that! :D The skull symbol you see on Fett's left shoulder piece!


Umm, what is a mythosaur? Are you talking about the mandalorian skull symbol?


I definitely know I want the ROTJ version, I just like it's overall look better. I kinda like the thought of "It will look good anywhere!" haha, makes me feel better. I kinda want it visible so people can always see it ya know? So if any other fett fans notice it we can chat haha. I dunno... The shoulder (where it would be on his armor) does sound pretty awesome... so does the leg and forearm. Gah! decisions!

Mattastic13, That's way cool!!! yeah, i'd be comfortable showing it on my leg, arm, or shoulder. It's just a matter of what would be the best looking heh.

How big do you want to go? Mine is 6.5 inches from tip to tip and I love the placement

I say go for somewhere different!! Everyone has it on their arm

Question for runJedirun - Do you know of a good shop in New York?
 
Yeah thats true... I just like the idea of having it where his armor would be, or on my forearm where people can see it. heh. I'll get it as big as I can fit wtihout it looking rediculous, probably not as big as yours if its on my arm.

I was thinkin that too GCN. For work purposes... it's either going to be the left shoulder where his armor is or the forearm i've decided down to those. Anyone have any cool pics of the ROTJ style skull? Like ones with a little flare or custom design element to them? Just getting some ideas together. Thanks!

mine is the same design/color as my avatar, placed on my left shoulder. just not as bright green anymore. only regret is not going bigger. looked big on paper. oh well, just have to add on to it.
 
Hey smc, when u go to get it done, do you hve to have an image the exact size you want it? Or can the tattoo artist scale it to your liking?

El1te
 
I did the drawing / tracing, scanned it, then printed out different sizes. chose the size I wanted then brought it to the artist.

the artist can usually scale it too
 
Ok, thanks a lot for that! It would suck if I went in with a size that wasnt good haha...

Still looking for some cool concepts you guys may have! :D

In deciding where you want to put the tattoo, don't forget to think ahead. Although now-a-days tattoos are WAY more accepted then when I first started getting them, you still have to put a little thought into it.

By this I mean think about what you would like to do career wise. Forearm tattoos and full sleeves rock, but some careers may frown upon visible or extreme ink. I started getting ink 18 years ago, and I wanted to be a cop so I kept them in places that they would not be seen, even in short sleeves (upper arm, back, leg). After I landed a job I began expanding, still keeping them mostly "out of site" (full back piece, full leg sleeve, half arm sleeve). At this point I'm 12 years on the job and my Department is okay with ink showing so I'm slowly expanding down my arms. I'm still not going too extreme out of respect for the fact I am a Detective, and have to deal with all sorts of people on all sorts of things, and not all of them are open minded with tattoos.

And don't forget, once you get one you WILL want more. I'm living proof, 18 years later and still going strong...:p

As for the Fett skull, I'm Navajo (obviously, LOL) so I made mine custom... the skull with various symbols from an Ancient Native language, they mean various things of importance such as faith, loyalty, change, strength, etc...
