| Hello!
Salutory greetings, fencing gods and goddesses!
I been lurking for a while. And probably won't post very often. But I've finally got a question that requires some input: Where the #&%$ do you find a decent FENCING blade tattoo design?!? Its killing me how many badly drawn broadsword-type blades I'm finding out there, but not a single decnt SPORTs fencing tattoo.
Got any suggestions?
Blessings to all. |

| 1) Welcome to the boards!
2) Try finding a really good tattoo artist. I have a large fencing tattoo myself, and the artist I went to designed the whole thing. We re-worked it several times, and a good artist will do that for you until you're entirely happy.

| I've gotten several requests since I posted this. I thought you were among the few who have seen it in person.

| Welcome, and sorry, but I have remained ink-free due to a religious conviction (I got three to life).

| Look up Freewind at the Black Wave Tattoo in Los Angeles.....he's a former 3-weapon fencer himself....one of my old teamates.
If you're not in the LA area, check him out anyway...he may be travelling to a tattoo convention in your area. | |

. | I think that's fairly recent. When he last competed seriously (Summer nats 01) I know he'd BEEN to Samoa, but hadn't gotton to the adopted son stage.
as for the pe'a....I'm wondering HOW they're gonna do it! He's already got massive amounts of ink on him already! | |

| Bienvenue, 3-weapons mistress! I hope you might come to enjoy this cute site. Does there also seem to you to be undercurrents of strangeness here? Odd little subtexts, if you will. It should be fun to stop by from time to time. | |
