Now you're arguing against something I never even suggested lol. What you should've done (and can still do, by the way) is make a request that a reasonable person will be able to help you with. "interpret this star with the word dream around it" is like some kind of bizarre 5th grade art project. Why not tell us what she didn't like about all the designs she's already seen, or what specifically she doesn't like about that simple design.

You might want to make the triangles of the star less long and more blocky. Also adding a 3rd dimension might be cool, google perspective if u wanna draw the star and the letters with the illusion of space. I personally like tattoos a lot more when they aren't just 2d images. I would do this for you on photoshop but it's 1 am and I'm tired.

@ sharper...her drawing not mine...sent in a text of the basic design she wants...she needs someone to take it far and beyond that, i would love some someone to bang out something sick in photoshop lol, doesn't need to be filled in either...a nautical star would be badass as well

Dude, he's trying to help so that someone can actually give a constructive answer. You've made your request so vague that its just impossible for someone to help.

I'm really just trying to help you out here. That picture was a joke, the joke being that it fits into your vague criteria of "artistic interpretation". Anyways, if you feel like you're being attacked or you don't want my help, I'll leave you to your own devices, good luck.

your help isn't needed as you obviously have no artistic value and a poor sense of humor

thank you

I just have to jump in here and say that brood was just trying to help you and you've done nothing but be an ass to him. your op is really unclear: you say that tattoo artists in your town are having trouble reproducing what your friend wants (in that drawing?) so you want TL to help you make the tattoo more artistic? it doesn't make any sense, and on top of that, the request itself is too vague anyway as people have been saying.

how vague is a star with DREAM around it? make it look good? it's not my damn tat lol

if you want to hear what i want, i want a tattoo of a guitar that's essentially tribal in design but to still hold the basics of a guitar...the neck, the strings, the body, the bridge, the tuning keys, every detail that a guitar contains in a tribal design but so that it flows correctly and doesn't look like i've got pikachu lightning bolts all over my arm...

the idea of the thread was to get different people interpretations on how to make that look like an awesome tattoo... i know what i want MYSELF but i wanted to give her a variety of different peoples perspective on what would look good and how to make it look that way

i'm obviously not achieving that at this point

SickTight, try to be reasonable. Maybe tell ppl what type of girl she is? The above picture would probably appeal to a hardcore person into death metal and body piercings, and who's dream it is to drink the blood of her enemies, but not to a girly girl who's idea of a dream is getting her own little dog to buy outfits for. Do you really have NO other information about what type of designs your friend might like? What are her dreams? What is the purpose behind the tattoo? What music does she like? How does she dress? Etc, etc. These things form the basis for inspiration of the artist. Right now, there's basically nothing to be inspired by, and how can an artist get excited enough to want to help with something when they have no basis to go on?

Seriously, these are the things, along with a little humility and gratitude for taking ppls' time, that would have made this thread a success. I guess you could still apologize and you might get what you are asking for, but things look grim for you at the moment.

I don't classify people into groups for one...she's....normal? I'm not sure what you're asking, i don't judge anyone or throw them into groups like emo or ghetto...people are people to me...if you want to critique the way i posted anything then don't post it here...that's not what i asked for...

SickTighT, I am an artist and I don't even know what I would do with that plain star and text, lol. Like everyone is saying, to vague description to even reproduce something that she will probably not even like. You need to post at least what she's into, example: Stars(of course), butterflies, tornado's. You get me? Doesn't really need to be, "Oh, shes 5'4 and has a 46D." Just little facts that she might like added into the star or with the star.
