LauraGB Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) A quick google search told me who it might be - and I believe it. But because I cheated, I'll keep my mouth shut :D. However, ds saw it and said, "Is it either Criss Angel or Jesus?":001_huh::glare: (:lol::lol::lol:) Edited November 6, 2010 by LauraGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LauraGB Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 No way would I have ever recognized who it was had I not cheated. I'm going to edit the initials of my original post (and you can to, if you want to ;)) so I don't lead anyone down the path of temptation.

Chris in VA Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) All I could think of was "Charles Lindberg." Boy, am I out of the loop! :001_huh::lol: I didn't see the tatoos or whatever they are until later. I was just thinking of those pictures that show Lindberg in his aviator's head gear...

OrganicAnn Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 I first googled aviator glasses and tattoos. Nothing useful unless you want to buy some nice aviator glasses. Then googled tattoo fear god. Bingo. Honestly when I first saw it I wondered if it was Charles Manson, but his tattoo scratched between his eyes is a swastika.

NanceXToo Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Heh I didn't expect that most of you guys would know who that was (I wouldn't recognize him either as I wouldn't even know what he looked like without Googling myself). It's a rap artist, his name is Lil Wayne. If you look at THIS particular picture of him... http://dajaz1.com/uploaded_images/lil-wayne-791210.jpg ...do you think the tattoo closely resembles that particular photo of him?

Cindyz Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) The face is much thinner than the actual person. I also think it's too tightly cropped to see enough of the face. The oval cropping makes the sunglasses look like aviator glasses especially with the way they blend into the hair which almost looked like a headband. The cigarette is hard to make out so the reason for the hand covering his mouth was lost in the translation for me as well.

The cigarette is hard to make out so the reason for the hand covering his mouth was lost in the translation for me as well. Yeah, I agree with those things for the most part! I said it was cropped too tightly too (that was the effect they wanted, but then some things that would have made it more apparent as to who it was were lost in the translation so to speak, such as the hair, and the glasses looking weird). Ah, well! My husband is a tattoo artist and a good one but he's NEVER attempted to do a 'portrait' before. This was his first one ever, and he tattooed it on a friend of his who is also a tattoo artist. They were both happy with it, especially for a first attempt, and wanted that oval/cropped kind of effect. I said I thought not seeing as much of the hair made it harder to see a good resemblance and that I wasn't sure how the shading could have been different, but that as it stood, he looks kinda like a white guy in his tattooed form... lol. (and you're right, now that you mention it, I think the face IS too thin). But anyway, my husband wanted me to post the picture and see if anyone found him recognizable. I will tell him better luck next time lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you what though - for a first-time portrait, the work itself seems great. I think the image used is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girligirlmom Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 No, he gave a tat of Lil' Wayne. Her dh is a tattoo artist. But the OP wasn't the recipient of this tattoo, right? Maybe I'm really old (45) and really clueless about tattoos, but why would someone want a tattoo of someone who was just in jail and has a bunch of tattoos himself? Because he is a famous rapper? I guess most I have seen are pictures of things (rose, star, skull, etc.) or words (loved one, statement, etc.) but I never thought about someone getting a tattoo of a picture of someone outside their family. I guess I can learn things about tattoos on a homeschooling board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pqr Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 but why would someone want a tattoo of someone who was just in jail and has a bunch of tattoos himself? Because he is a famous rapper? You are not alone in this one. The likeness is actually very good, it looks just like a thug. Which thug I did not know and I had to google Little Wayne to find out who he was but it spot on if one wanted a "bottom feeder" on his arm. Actually the artist was quite good. I am no fan of tattoos but do recognize that there is great skill required to produce them, and the one depicted demonstrated that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
