sorry is this better?

Personally I think it looks "plain". Its just the 4 suits. I think it would have been better if you had a large card outline tattooed on your arm and a suit in each corner or something like that. This is just personal preference though.. it doesnt look bad.. it just looks a bit plain to me!

Heres an imageshack link incase anyone hasnt got an ellusionist account:

you can't slag off people's tatoo's! gah!
it's nice dude. i've often thought of having a card tatoo'd on my arm for the perposes of tricks. it could be nice

firstly the top link links to a secure page so I'm not going to sign up to see it.
secondly the other link dosnt go to a pic of a tatoo so were is it.

ok now i see it thanxs to BizKiTRoAcH so cheers for that.

the tatoo is well erm well its a line of plain card symbols so well ok if you like that sort of thing no problem.

all you need now is a support bandage with holes cut in it so you can reveal one at a time and your set.

Nah - use a large and very sticky Band-Aid so the specs can hear your skin audibly suffering as you rip it back bit by bit to expose the suits !

Nice phone in the background btw

also, great wall!

I like the border.

As for the tat, looks ok but you might wanna go over some of the black (well, not you, a trained person), some of it seems to have come out during the healing process. No worries though it generally happens.

I'm not a tattoo person but as they go I like it, more importantly it is definitely useful for card magic! All you need is a marker to put a cross through one, write a value next to a symbol etc, a bit of forcing and you're away!

yeah some them need touching up the spades the most, but i will get round to it.

hope no one minds but instead of making my own, i figured i would share with tkof.

Mine isnt a tattoo per say, it uses the anceint art of scaring. I plan on doing all four, using different techniques: cutting, fire, cold, and cutting (but the scar will end up being raised).

here are some pics of the first one; just a knife. the pics arent the greatest, and the scar isnt finished, i am still working on it; i actually just got finished re-opening the wound.

I really hope that you're kidding David. Just asking for a nasty infection doing that.

I've got a chain of hearts around my ankle, I've used that in tricks before now.

David? Sheesh. Isn't that like self harm?

Tkof, very nice =) Like farlsborough said, you can use them all for loads of things now.

this is an ancient art, although is not far off plain old self harm
also known as scarifying (scarifiing?)

The original posters tattoos could be used for a version of ashes on arm with only the value of the card being revealed alongside the relevant tattoo, although the ashes are brushed alongside all of them.
