MrKeith Group: Members Posts: 33 Joined: Mar. 2006 Posted: July 20 2006, 08:07 Posted this in memebers pics, but thought it would be worth sticking here too. Would love to see other's MO related body art. Click to enlarge image Back to top

Now that would be appropriate, and a challenge. -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

Its a celtic band that incorporates a tubularbell into it to go on my left arm . I've made lots of designs but nothing i 100% liked and because its permanent i want it get it right LOL   -------------- "Onwards & Upwards'" Back to top

MrKeith Group: Members Posts: 33 Joined: Mar. 2006 Posted: July 21 2006, 04:53 SentinelGard, I like the idea you have for your tattoo, sounds cool. Would like to see what you have designed. Might even encourage me to be more creative next time. Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: July 22 2006, 03:12 I really liked the idea someone had of the word AMAROK as written on the album cover worn as an arm band with a celtic look to it. That photo I put in really sucks doesn't it. I'll have to get another photo of my sisters tattoo because it is really detailed and a perfect copy of the original. I know Malky has a great TB tattoo on his arm, saw a photo of it in Dark Star quite some time ago, anyone else??? Sorry Mr Keith, ignore my post in Members Photos, you have obviously already discovered this thread. -------------- I hate getting up early.

Here is a simple one i came up with a while ago , wasn't 100% happy with it but its a good example of what I'm talking about. Click to enlarge image -------------- "Onwards & Upwards'" Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: July 23 2006, 19:10 I love it Sentinel Gard, the only thing I would change would be to make the TB a deep blue colour to make it stand out just a touch more. -------------- I hate getting up early.

I had done one that had the Tubularbell in colour with all the detail of reflection and so on like the one on the TB1 album cover but some how it didn't look right unless the rest of the band was done in similar way . Guess i'll keep wotking on the idea until i find something i like . -------------- "Onwards & Upwards'" Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: July 24 2006, 10:40 Anyone got any MO piercings? You know, the 3 cm wide miniature Bent Bell stuck through the middle of your nose or something like that? The Tr3s triple-moon in tiny metal in the middle of your tongue? Full sized unbent tubular bells hanging from your lip? Little poison arrows in the ears?

I don't have any piercings or tattoos, I hate them. I have to say, I am inclined to agree with you Ugo. I just don't understand why it is done. However, I am always intersested to see the designs, Oldfield related or not. And to be a good Tattoo artist requires a great deal of skill and experience. To be able to accurately transfer an image permanently onto a soft, three dimensional form (that may move, squeak or sweat) is a skill indeed. I used to work in Tescos years ago, and a regular customer once showed me an amazing tattoo of an eagle on his forearm. I was fascinated by this, because it was so accurate, the eyes were piercing ( no pun intended!!. To cut a long story short this customer came back several times to show me each further addition, all birds of prey flying all over his arms and legs! I was only ever interested in the 'art' as he was a bit 'odd', but I found it really funny when one Saturday morning amongst a crowd of shoppers he lifted up his tee shirt to show me a huge barn owl across his back. By that time I was at a loss for words. Heaven knows what was going to be next! I left soon after! The strangest thing I've heard lately is that you can watch your friend having their tattoo done on the internet... what's that all about? Think I'm getting a little older and even more out of touch! Now Ugo, where did you get you Tubular Bell pin? I'd love one of those, I really would. I do have a Tubular Bell II badge from dark star but it's time for something new, any ideas? bee -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

Wow, that's nice, why don't I know people like that? I'd really like one in silver though! And to the BBE, what can I say? I'm at a loss for words... again...this time from laughing so much     very funny, if a trifle rude! -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

But he told me that it would've been much easier for him to reproduce the shape in gold than in silver, so he made it in gold. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

I am picturing your design with the TB just one solid deep blue colour. I think you could incoperate the word AMAROK into that design too. Have you gone any further with the tattoo plan? I want one, desperatelt, but I am too old and too chicken. I would have something similar to my TubularBelle logo I think, but make the girl look more like a young me, with dark hair.
