I ask you, my flist

[rivers_bend]

I have my tattoo touch-up appointment in a couple of weeks, and one of the things I'm considering is getting some blue added to the nib end of my pen. My artist suggested that I print out a colour copy of my tatt and colour it with coloured pencils to see how I liked the depth of colour there, but I have neither a colour printer nor coloured pencils, and I have a million deep blue eye makeup options, so I just coloured on the tattoo itself and took pictures of that. It seemed much more expedient. I'll probably colour it again a few times between now and then to see what I think of it in different lights and stuff, but I wanted to do a straw poll too, and see what other people thought. So here we are.

I like the blue, it gives it a bit more depth. makes it pop

I like the blue-great contrast to the bird of paradise.

I love what the blue adds to it. It makes it look more in proportion to me and since blue is the complimentary color of orange it fits very well!

This eye makeup trick is the CLEVEREST <3

It looks great with the blue. :)

I like the blue a lot. I feel like it serves the function that the ink drops would have served if you'd put those in - like it creates motion? Idk, I'm tired. But your tattoo is cool and I am excited for us to get touched-up together! (Though not for a little while, because OW.)

I like the blue - definitely go for it!

[fpvs.livejournal.com]

I like that with the blue, it looks a little like blue ink has leaked down the stem :)

blue goes with everything! so of course add it. :D

I need to go back and get blues added to my Raven feather and besides I've been wanting a new tattoo so maybe this will satisfy that craving.

[missyjack.livejournal.com]

Yes! i think besides the nice colour contrasts it gives the sense of words about to be written!

[sorchasilver.livejournal.com]

The blue looks great! Like inkstains. It seems to give it a bit more, I dunno, movement, somehow?

Also, the eye makeup test is genius! :D

[jackien1968.livejournal.com]

maybe a somewhat less intense slightly more greenish blue
ETA: on second thought, slightly less intense and somewhat more greenish

makeup on the actual tattoo makes way more sense than coloring on a photo of it

I second this: I love the blue, but I want it to blend with what's there just a bit more. But what do I know? Just that the tattoo as a whole is glorious.

You and your eye makeup! You're like GLAMGyver! \o/

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

fuck! lololol GLAMGyver just made me spit an entire mouthful of half-masticated cereal in my lap. HAHAHAHAHA I love you :D #atleastitwasnotmykeyboard \o/

[kryptyd.livejournal.com]

Another vote for the blue!

[wendy.livejournal.com]

Wait, where is the yes option?? Love the blue!

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

it's to the lower left corner of the picture with the blue. yay, the blue! (I have never had a poll before where 100% of the respondents answered the same way)

[runedgirl.livejournal.com]

I like the blue - damn, that is soooooooooo pretty, girl!

[sin-fuego.livejournal.com]

What clever trick with the make-up! I like the addition of blue, it makes the rest of the colors pop even more.

[lizibabes.livejournal.com]

The blue looks great, amazing job with the makeup, it looks like you've really added colour to the tattoo, it doesn't look drawn on. But I should stop looking at tattoo pics because it makes me want to have more done lol

[lmichelle599.livejournal.com]

Yes, I like the blue.

I'm also distracted by your icon.

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

askdfjhdsf unf that icon is one of the hottest things ever! :D
