Wanna get a new tattoo... would like help with ideas
I am looking to get a new tattoo, ninja turtle related. I have some ideas, but nothing that is really calling out to me.
Any suggestions? |

What appeals to you most about the Turtles?? Who is your favorite character? Hero? Villain? Artist? Do you prefer the films, comics, TV shows??
Narrow it down a little for us

If nothing is calling out to you, it's probably not the right time.
A tattoo should always be a love at first sight kinda decision rather than just picking something for the sake of it. |

It's not that I am going to go out and get one just to get one. I am starting the thought process about what I want to get. Nothing that I have seen since I started looking has inspired me.
Mikey is my fav. turtle, I like Casey Jones, April and the other turtles. But I also like the villains and have been kinda leaning that way. |

Well another thing you should take into account is what your favorite TMNT universe is.

The best thing to do would be have a chat to your tattoo artist , thats what he/she is paid to do, take some artwork , an idea and book some time with them to work out your design .Have you thought of size ? placement ? cost ?
But honestly don`t go in with nothing and say you want a turtle tat without any idea of what you want the finished tat to look like , the artist vision of what you should have might be nothing like what you planned and its a total pain to redraw .

funny you mention that, I joked with my wife about getting Krang tattooed on the back of my head; so that when I am old, wrinkly, and bald it would look just like him

when you have a idea I could sketch you something up, seeing I have done my fair share of tattoo sketches/stencils over the past 4 years, and doing a TMNT piece would be a blast to do!

I'd love someone to get a Foot Symbol on their shoulder and a Purple Dragon down the other arm...

Question:
I found out that the new baby arriving Aug 29th is going to be a girl. One of the tattoos I was going to get was a turtle to represent each child. since each of my kids has their own favorite. The question is, should I get the last turtle as is, or should I have the artist make it a female turtle (btw i don't mean venus)?
