b-17 tattoo

[pikeman7000]

hi every one im new here, i want to get a b-17 tattoo, but havent been able to find the right photo yet, i want a picture of the b-17 in action, with the top turret looking up, mabey one engine feathered, a bit beat up by flak and fighter attacks, something that shows what the b-17 could take and still come home safe. any help would be appricated, thanks.

Try this one....

I hope you have a good artist.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yeah it's a bit of an odd thing to get a tattoo of, do you have any particular reason?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

My recommendation is to make it a back piece and get it done in grey scale like a pencile drawing. That would look good. All of my tattoos are done like this and I love them.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Kind of like these here. Turn them into whole scenes and use the art work as an entire back piece. That would be impressive.

i think that getting a tattoo of a b-17 is a great idea and i've been thinking of something similar.

 

[pikeman7000]

[lesofprimus]

Hey, I just got a custom tattoo of my fathers B-17 . I'll post it soon.

I have one.... got the name "Squirrel" tattooed on my left shoulder in 1952
in Jax, Fla. It was a nickname as a youngster.

Since then I've had an auto accident and they had to remove
most of the muscle in my left shoulder. Now the tattoo looks like
the tattoo artist hiccuped !

Remind me to show you my birthmark (!)

That sounds like an awesome tat..with the beautiful lady painted on the side..and definitely a backpiece. I'd love to see picts when its done.

I have 6 of them. I have one more I'd like to get. THEN i'm thinking i'm done, mayyyybe.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah good luck with that I have 6 myself and each time I say "This will be my last." Im ready to get my 7th now...

 

[Becca]

YEAH..well there is that... I saw some beautiful things done in stone. THOUGH, i'm really into the color, now.

I always liked this one... and in fact met the pilot of that B-17 and got an autographed print a couple weeks ago.
