Not me. But, playing at a friend's house, his roomie, who doesn't play, noticed our game. He saw me play {Dance of the Dead} and immediately picked up the card. After the game, he asked if he could borrow the card because he wanted to get a tattoo of that exact pic. So I let him keep it as long as he showed me the tat. It covers half his back an it was done well.

As far as I know, the guy still has never played a game of Magic.

I would have punched that dude and told him he's an idiot.

Hahaha!  Why?  He had been looking for a good image for a tat and this was his gold mine. I'm not one for the whole Metal-Megadeath-type skull-death stuff, but he is. *shrug*

I suppose you're right.

I would have nodded appreciatively and quietly said it was nice or something while really thinking it was foolish to get such a large tattoo of something you don't know.

You know. The actual thing people mean when they say they'd strike someone and call them dumb.

But it is a cool image, and at least it's not something he's gonna get asked magic questions about like a halfback tattoo of {Lilliana Vess} or something.

The size of it is a bit odd I suppose.......

I don't have one but I've been looking for Some cool art from cards. I haven't really found anything of late. I guess I need to delve back into the older days of magic to find good arts

Get {Orcish Settlers}!

Also, BJ, that story is so sweet. He chose a cool card.

Funny this is mentioned, I took my foil {Vanishment} to my artist, she immediately said she wants to do it. Just waiting on some sketches to see what she can do with it.

It's gonna suck if she uses that exact picture. I would get a new artist.

Well I'm just saying from an artist's pov. I wouldn't use the exact picture a client brought to me. I would use the idea and make changes to it. Because I didn't draw that picture therefor I shouldn't put it on someone else and call it my own work.

Not trying to offend. Just what my oppinion of a good tattoo artist does.

But it's your skin. :D

Hence why I'm waiting on sketches from her, because neither of us will just take something already done and put it on my skin. She's been my artist since I was 19, so no, I will not get another artist.

If I didn't care the size or how much of an idiot I looked like, I would get the art for {progenitus} in the "from the vault" version.
I would have two of the heads go from my back and up my arms and the rest on my bak. Once again, only if I didn't really care.

I had a buddy who was a tatt/graff artist who saw a copy of {frogmite} he was so into bio-mech looking stuff that he told me he'd tatt it on me for free. But I'm just not a tattoo kind of guy.

 Now that i think about it...i would probably get a reworked image of {Angelic Overseer} on the edge of the top right corner of my back. Have her legs run down the right side and her arm/sword running across the top of my back. Nothing in the middle.

Its just me, i dont really like the full back tattoos...(yet for some reason i would love a girl with a corset piercing >.>)

just do something simple, like the Planeswalker symbol on your shoulder or something.
