Odie Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 (moving this here, so as not to clutter up the LACon thread) HEY LADIES! Are we still up for the blue rose tattoo idea? I found a place that's in town that looks like they do good work... Outer Limits Tattoo and Piercing Someone would have to drive us there (it's not within walking distance, unless you want to walk six miles there and back) but it could be managed. I'd be willing to call and set up an appointment... maybe they'd give us a group discount? Timing wise, if they're open on Saturday mornings that may be the best time (so long as you're not still drunk from the night before) in order to not get in the way of most of the con events, but allow the most people to be able to attend. Again, I'd have to call. I'd just want a rough idea as to how many of us there would be before I called them. We'd probably have to go with flash art instead of custom work, but that's not a huge deal because there's about a billion and one rose designs out there, from giant to like the size of a quarter. Potential victims... I mean Participants: Odie Mandy Lany Cass Mich Filippa Melisandre's Twisted Sister GoN My Sweet Sister ghosts companion Chaldanya Xray (unsure) Syrra LacyB DrunkenDornishPrincess Our entorage: Lodengarl Blackfyre Heir Stego dajamieson Davos (because he's coming whether he likes it or not. Dammit.) Potential design ideas: Rose clip art Moody Blue With background that can be omitted Frosted Tribal Rose Girly with a butterfly Rose with dark leaves Very stylized rose Budding Rose Rose with dark stem Slightly cartoony rose Solo Rose Beaded blue rose Ice white rose Twisted rose Double rose Six mini roses Simple electric blue rose Celtic rose Celtic rose 2 There has also been talk of a limo ride to and from the tattoo parlor, thanks to Lodengarl and BlackfyreHeir. Details of that, if they solidify, will be forthcoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Lodey Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 If 6+ BwB ladies are getting an ASOIAF blue rose tattoo at Worldcon, yeah... I am spending my own money on a limo for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odie Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 You just want to see us in various states of disrobement. :cool: Well, everyone else. I promise to keep my placement modest for the good of humanity. I'm actually thinking about my left ankle... since I already have a red dragon on my right one...

Stego Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 If there is a good artist there, I would go as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Lodey Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 You would go, or go and get a tat, or go and get a rose tat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odie Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 If there is a good artist there, I would go as well. I posted a link to the place I was thinking of.... HOWEVER if we're having limo service to get there and someone knows of a better shop more further afield, please let me know ASAP. I want to call them sometime in the next couple weeks, just to make sure we can block off that Saturday morning before they get booked with other appointments.

angie Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 After the last tattoo thread I went looking through some online and found this really cool blue rose. They have others on that site too. I won't be attending the Con, but I'm considering having this one done locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Oh, GoN... you can't do tatoos with pencil. This ain't the third grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Lodey Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Pencil me in.Is the dragon going to polinate the blue rose? Wow... this is seriously turning hot - and even more cult-like by the second. I will also provide the new Nikes and Kool-aid for the midnight trip to Avalon.

Odie Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 After the last tattoo thread I went looking through some online and found this really cool blue rose. Wow, yeah, that's really cool... Not sure if it would translate into to Teeny Tiny well, because I know some people want them very small. But I do like it...

Xray the Enforcer Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 After the last tattoo thread I went looking through some online and found this really cool blue rose. They have others on that site too. I won't be attending the Con, but I'm considering having this one done locally. That one's pretty cool -- but I like Odie's more. I prefer either stylized or hyper-realistic tattoos...but that's JMHO, and all that. and even more cult-like by the second. I will also provide the new Nikes and Kool-aid for the midnight trip to Avalon. I wear an 8.5. And best make it Blue Kool-Aid, to match the stamps.

Stego Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well Lodey, I was thinking about getting some ink down while I was out in California anyway. But no blue rose, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 That one's pretty cool -- but I like Odie's more. Oh, yes, Odie's is definitely cool too. I'd be covering up an old homemade one, though, so I don't know if it would work as well for me as the other, but I do like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prince Lodey Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hmmm... Ladies of the Blue Rose... I sense a new order and section for the BwB site. Stego, you are getting the pink rose, right? If so, I am paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowleo Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I have no tatoos. I came pretty close to getting one a few years ago (one of the chapter icons from WOT ) So, I'm intrigued by the pretty flowers but what are the chances I'll commit if I have a fear of needles and a low pain tolerance? snow "do they give you a Valium first?
