    Default Tattoo

    I have been thinking for a while for a tattoo that im going to like forever. I think i might get the southern cross because i will always be Australian and proud of it. Its not going to be big. Each star maybe the size of my finger nail.

    Anyways where do you think i should get it? I was thinking upper arm or upper back/shoulder. Or do you think i should get the southern cross at all???
    Australia. Love it or leave it

    after the cronulla riots the southern cross tattoo has become the new black.

    im all for people showing their pride but be original. hows about the australian coat of arms?


    or your surname across your back with the flag in the middle?

    thers a few you can get
    southern cross
    coat of arms
    out line of australia
    boxing kangaroo
    the flag(waving style as if it was on a pole or something)
    eurika stockade flag(old school southern cross on blue flag)
    the flag in the shape of australia
    made in australia symbol
    out line of australia with "piss off we're full"(which my mate got after a day on the piss)
    aussie pride over the top of the southern cross, or just pride
    ripped or cut skin that shows the australian flag were your muscles should be


    hope that helps thats all i can think of right now

    Thanks for your input. Yeah i was thinking of a VB can haha. But naf33n has a few good ideas. I like the idea of out line of australia and pride written in it or somthing? Or should pride be written on the top of bottom of out line of australia? Or instead of pride, the words "love it or leave it" inside the out line of australia. But i just dont want to start anything with some lebs everytime i hit the surf.
    Australia. Love it or leave it

    Thanks man. I was trying to think of what font i should have the word pride in. But that one looks pretty good. Dont know if i would like a background picture because its not going to be very large so might not be able to see what the background picture is. Would you be able to photoshop another one without the background? Just to see what that would look like. And if you have anyother fonts for the word 'pride'
    Thanks in advance

    if you design a good one they'll do it for cheaper as long as they get to copyright the image, i know someone who got $50 off because he drew the tattoo himself and gave it to the artist

    my little bro is getting the 'made in australia' logo..... you know the one that you see green & gold its on products made here? green triangle background with yellow/gold kangaroo. I thought it was silly, but then again Ive seen lots worse, & now the idea has grown on me, I think well done for being that proud of where you come from.
