Volume 1 number 1 second printing in very poor condition
 

I'm getting a new tattoo and need source material. Subsequent printing are far too dark and I'm sure not using my first printing. Condition is irrelevant in fact the crappier the better because it will save me cash.

Any help?.....

Why does it have to be a second printing if it's just for a tattoo? You could get one of the 2009 reprints really cheap.

It's in the first post. The darker prints hides some of the finer details.

Edit: Holy crap...jinx buy me a coke. Lol

What does that even mean?

We posted the exact same thing at the exact same time. Take a look at the post times. You've never heard of the saying "jinx buy me a coke" if two people say the exact same thing at the exact same time?

No I hadn't heard that, makes sense now.

There's a thing called photoshop...

You don't say...


Some of the detail is darkened to the point where it's solid black. I want the tattoo to be as accurate as possible. I'm not going to photoshop anything thats permanently going on my body.

I don't see why people are making suggestions, its your money, you should be able to spend it how you want to :tlol:

That's true enough, but since he is soliciting us for this book, I think it's fair to ask questions.

IMO, the best copy of the book to get would be the special edition 6th printing, which has the original sepia tones.

All you need is scans of an earlier print. I don't personally think the differences are great enough to be of notable significance. Unless you plan on getting a HUGE tattoo, those details won't be put into it.

The tattoo if done by the right artist does not have to be HUGE to incorporate the amount of detail being discussed. Decently sized yes. Huge no. Let's get this thread back on track.....still looking for a second printing of number 1 in any condition.

It is fair. However there is a difference between asking questions and making condescending remarks.

Did you ever get this tattoo?

Way to resurrect threads on the board dude. You've commented on a ton of dead threads from around a decade or so ago...
