you could probably get him to commission something. That's what I would do if i had to do it all over again (see signature).

lol, thats the same exact one i have saved to my desktop, im thinking that one, i dunno yet tho

Archon : what do you mean by commission? ive never heard that term

Commission: The act of granting certain powers or the authority to carry out a particular task or duty.

Basically, writing to an artist to have them draw you a particular piece of art and then paying them for their work..

sadly, the only way to get a commission from laird is to go to a con. i was too thinking bout this.

damn, that sucks - ill probally just use one i find online

Here's a scan from an old TMNT RPG book.

ooooooo - this just might work, im liking his look along with the stance hes in, kinda like jumping - i will update you if i decide to use this

Man, you should get the image of Raph crouched on the edge of the rooftop in TMNT #1 on I believe page 19 where he is about to deliver the challenge message to Shredder. I always loved that drawing.

You mean this one?

Yep, that be the one. Is that not freakin awesome or what?

make sure you take a pic when you get it done!

i want a raph tat but the other half doesnt like tats....oh well

that is a cool pic of him perched on the rooftop - i just dont see exactly how that would look on my back, but im gonna figure something out

buslady : i will definetely post pics, and probally a video of the tattoo gettin done...that is whenever the time seems to roll around when im prepared

That's incredibly lame.
This is why marriage is total BS. The "other half" thinks they own you as soon as they get a ring on your finger.

He doesn't own me at all.
It's his general opinion of tats, he associates them with less-desirable people (gang members, low lifes, etc.) so it's like if i got one, i dont want him thinking less of me. Where i want it is like on the leg over the little ankle ball bone...he's all 'what id you go to a business meeting (yeah right) and hafta wear a dress' ... mind you I do not wear dresses, heels or anything girly. I'm all tomboy girl lol!

I guess he thinks less of his sister cos she's gotta tramp stamp over her butt...so...*shrug*...i dunno.

one or two tats aren't bad...

Trust me, if you ever want to get laid (again?). You will not get that tattoo.

"Again?"? Buslady has a son.


And I hear where you're coming from, Buslady. Still sucks that your dude stigmatizes tattoos and those who have tattoos as being scumbags.

Wasn't talking to Buslady.

He can always get a harem of rabid Raph fangirls.
