2011-08-01 [Alexi Ice]: Wish I could draw! I will be interested to see how this turns out!!

2011-08-04 [AuroraLumos]: this is such a brilliant idea :D

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: Thank you. I hope people participate though. I plan on getting a few tattoos and I have no drawing capability what so ever and the tattooists around here that are good are nearly $300 a tattoo.

2011-08-04 [Alexi Ice]: Mine costed about 200 $ though it's fairly big and she did a wonderful job on it.

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: Yea, problem is that I can't afford anything right now of that scale and this one is going to be a gift from a friend *crosses fingers*. I want to get at least one big one, but again with the prices I dont know.

2011-08-04 [Alexi Ice]: I would guess that they would charge sixty per duck. At the least. You could get them done one at a time

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: I know some do it per hour and some do it per tattoo. My wife got hers for a great deal because she babysat the person's kids for them a few times for free. She got two tattoos for like $80 together, and they look really good. Unfortunately they moved before we could talk to them about mine.

2011-08-04 [AuroraLumos]: My last one was around £80 (around $135) and he did a beautiful job on it :) drew it from scratch and everything. I'll be going up to see him again soon so he can do my 3rd one (when I work out what I want anyway)

2011-08-04 [AuroraLumos]: When you say you want the duckies to be semi personalised, what sort of thing do you mean? (I was thinking about something like the my little pony "cutie marks" but on rubber duckies. I'd just need to know what kinda thing you'd like on each ducky.)

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: Well when I say personalized I mean something to separate the duckies from each other so that when someone looks at them they can see which one is for me or the wife or my kids.

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: ...such as?

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: I gave an example in the idea section. They don't have to be specific exact representations or anything like that. Like have a little ball cap on the boy and a pretty hair bow on the girl, etc.

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: Isn't that a bit... idk... clishe considering you don't even know if your twins are going to be like that when they are older?
Why not something more simplistic/symbolic?

Also.... why the rubber ducks? :/ Combining a hobby and your family seems odd to me.

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: I really like rubber duckies and the idea spawned from an alternate idea I had that didnt work out due to them being born by c-section. I dont know if my twins are going to stay the same gender? The personalizations arent specific, just a simple identifying object so people will know which ducky represents which family member.

2011-08-04 [Alexi Ice]: I will work on something for you darling

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: Have you thought about putting their initials/first names under or inside of the ducklings?

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: That could be done as well, but I dont want just four plain duckies.

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: IMHO: Having rubber ducks with hats/ties/etc seems a bit short lived in terms of aesthetics. It also seems a bit...idk how to word it. It seems really immature/childish? But not in a good way-

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: I know it's your body and you can do whatever you want with it, I'm just trying to give artistic advice.

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: Well the huge display of rubber duckies I have on top of my entertainment center may seem immature too but that doesnt mean im not going to brag about it. If you dont want to put hats and stuff on there then dont, I may end up liking it anyways.

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: Thing is... do you plan on having more children?

2011-08-04 [Chel.]:

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: Something like that is a bit more... classy

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: We are undecided on the more children topic but if we do I plan on adding them to it.

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: The first one I kinda like the way it looks, the swcond one not so much.

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: Symmetry would be broken if you had more kids. So don't have any more! XD

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz.

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: I actually like the 2nd designs more. The first is a bit too... horizontal

2011-08-04 [AuroraLumos]:
That's the basic ducky I've done so far (a little hurried so the edges are a bit iffy) I've yet to personalisish it yet though. Not sure quite what I'm going to do with that yet haha :) (EDIT also it's huge... they're not going to be that big XD)

2011-08-04 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz. You dont have to rush anything as of yet so go ahead and take your time. I havent decided if Im going to select the one I like the best or put it up to a poll.

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: You would let a poll decide your tattoo? Seriously...

2011-08-04 [Chel.]: Playing around

2011-08-04 [AuroraLumos]: Oh no I know, I just wanted to get the basic ducky shape done so I can take time on the personal be seen as that's really what's going to make the thing :)

2011-08-04 [Alexi Ice]: The thing is that the artist will redraw the initial design anyway. With their own personal style, so deciding by poll wouldn't be so bad.

2011-08-04 [Stephen]: Rubber Duckies!
*sings the rubber ducky song* :3

2011-08-09 [9jlriexqk,ktpk]: Tattoo's rock! I got 3 so far :p

2011-08-09 [Lord Josmar]: I just got my idea for my second one after the first one.



10 points to anyone who remembers this, 20 if you actually played it!

2011-08-09 [AuroraLumos]: ^ such an awesome game! :D (though if I were to get any gaming tattoo I'd get a triforce of wisdom on the back of my left hand.)

2011-08-09 [Chel.]: *headdesk*

2011-08-09 [Lord Josmar]: Lolz. The triforce is too common for my liking. If I were to get a tattoo for Legend of Zelda or Mario or something very popular, I would have to think up my own design.

2011-08-09 [Alexi Ice]: Omg! I loovvveee that game! I neber was able to finish it though

2011-08-10 [Lord Josmar]: Me either. Got upset at it once they took all your souljam things and you had to go back through each level and pretty much do them all over again.

2011-08-10 [Alexi Ice]: I loved the music though, my favorite was 'Happy Birthday'

2011-08-10 [AuroraLumos]: I just liked the idea of the irony of getting such a daft tattoo that is supposed to symobilise wisdom haha. ^^'

The music for JSRF is awesome though I agree :D

2011-08-10 [Lord Josmar]: Oh, I understand now, lol.

2011-08-18 [Alexi Ice]: I want another tattoo ^^
