    Default Any of you "artsy" type people want to hook me up?

    I'm going to Hawaii in a few weeks and am going to get some new ink while I'm down there. I have an idea in my head but just don't have the ability to put it to paper.

    What I'm thinking (since it is Hawaii) is a pineapple with a face on it. A cartoony type pineapple with the kind of face they put on the old P-51 fighters in WWII.

    Kind of this type of face...



    Money is a bit tight for me so you would be doing this out of the kindness of your own heart, knowing that your artwork would be traveling with me for the rest of my life.

    If money is tight, forget about getting inked on the islands brau.

    not to poo poo your idea, but if money is tight why would you spend it on a pineapple tattoo??????????????

    really a pineapple???? there are many other things that are related to the islands that are wayyyyy cooooler

    what about a tat of haleakala, a conch shell, or the 5 five foot black tip i dove with off maui, a surf board with your graphic,

    unless you are just trying to get in touch with your feminine side.

    You know there are no bad tattoos, or feminine ones, if that's what the client request. A "feminine" pineapple to you might be an in memory of a family member, or love lost.

    Ha. Money isn't tight for the trip or the tattoo. Just the guy that draws it up for me.


    I could repay him with a trip to the range or some cold adult beverages or something.

    Oh, and there isn't anything particularly "feminine" about a pineapple. It's not like I'm getting a pony tattoo or something.

    I was just in Hawaii in early June. If you think money's tight right now, wait til you get back . That places has the most expensive cost of living I've ever been to.

    Goodluck with your tattoo quest. Draw up something yourself, however crude, and take it to the tattoo artist as soon as you can. Go back in a few days and see what he comes up with.

    I might have to do that. Now.... where did I put those crayons?

    I can definitely draw up the flash. (Finished version one side, line art on the back for the artist to use.) But I typically get $50 for a custom flash piece.

    Also those are P-40s, not P-51s
