Do you have a universe preference?

(P.S. Correct your misspelling of Raph in your first sentence before you're lynched

)

I find Mike Dooney's make for great tattoos. Here is my Raph:

Thanks. No universe preference, (not archie)I haven't read that many. I have read most of the first series and I am current on the new books, but I'm sure there is a sweet drawing I haven't seen

You could just find a Mirage artist you love and commission them to do original art for it.

I can tell you which one I COULD imagine as a tattoo for me, the second. But what matters is your taste, I think...

*DonatelloFan* · 09-26-2012, 11:08 AM

I love me some tattoos, have one (sadly, because I have like 6 planned and ready to go, and plan on getting a TMNT one sometime soon. But here's my take:

It seems like you're basically asking us to pick your tattoo for you. Like Archon asked, what's your preference in 'universe'? Who are some of your favorite artists? How big do you want it? Where? Color or B&W? Goofy or serious? There's SO many factors.

To go along, I would think the second one would look better as a tattoo. I love that look.

I'm personally looking to get a fight scene, along the lines of one Turtle (probably Donatello), beaten down, against Shredder. I don't know, just one idea. Look at my profile picture by clicking on my name to see what I'm talking about.

Good luck with getting a tattoo. And please, make sure the artist is great, and show it off on here when you get it!

No I don't really want you to choose it... Its always hard for me to get my point across my brain to the forum..on my iPhone lol. I was looking mainly for some kick ass pics I love the second one I don't remember where I got it from. I was originally thinking black and white but that second one would look good on my calf next to Tf tat

*DonatelloFan* · 09-26-2012, 12:44 PM

It's the cover to one of the collected volumes or something like that. Some on eBay.

I think Berger does my favorite renditions of Raphael. His art is so gritty and edgy so it suits Raph's personality. Here's a cool Berger Raph commission I just found (might not want to steal someone's personal art for your tatt tho)... http://th01.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/...88-d4fumbq.jpg

Sanny632 · 09-29-2012, 08:15 AM

Thanks guys I think the cover will go best w my Tf tattoos. Now I wonder if there is a finished versions (sideds of face) somewhere

It's a panel from the first issue, page 34.

I always took it to be Leonardo though, going by the commands he's giving.

Sanny632 · 09-29-2012, 10:32 AM

I would agree t it seems like leo. I do like it I don't know how many people I have to tell "no they all had red bandanas in the beginning." hmm maybe raph and the corner it is....

*DonatelloFan* · 09-29-2012, 10:37 AM

Hell, in the first issue, their bandanas could have been black for all we know. When DID we know the bandanas were red, by the way?

And if Raphael is your favorite Turtle, that picture is a nice one that really shows what I think Raphael is all about.

Sanny632 · 09-29-2012, 10:43 AM

Yeah I like the classic , vigilante raph

soliloquy · 10-02-2012, 06:37 PM

I agree about Dooney being the best style for tattoos. I have one of Leo on my right upper arm:

Good luck choosing your tattoo! I hope you come back and show it off when you get it!

*Slade* · 10-02-2012, 06:54 PM

Spoiler:

Kinda big so I wrapped it in a spoiler.

Anyway..I think this would be a bad ass tatt..you can even ask Ross if it's cool.

*Oculus Orbus* · 10-03-2012, 04:28 PM

I would go for the first one, but you know, I'm a Mirage fan, so I'd always pick something from there, probably the first issue. And as discordiatookie said, I always assumed that the turtle from that close up panel was Leo.
