Could use help planning my first tattoo's
Hey I'm planning on getting my first tattoo\'s sometime in the next month or two (or as soon as i have the money) & i need help finding some decent designs. I decided im gonna get one of Rei on one shoulder & one of Asuka on the other shoulder but i cant find any decent images of them that i'd want immortalized on my skin (or anything i do find is to crap quality etc).
These are my two fall back images in case i cant find anything better
Although if i could find a Rei version of this i'd love to get these cuter versions.
What do people think? does anyone know where i could find plenty of poses of Rei & Asuka?
Also please dont let this topic turn into a debate about pop culture tattoo's I've decided this is what i want to do & nothings gonna convince me otherwise.

The cute Asuka i found on imouto.org but i couldn't find a Rei version of it :(
I know this is probably a long shot as im the new guy here & anything i say probably amounts to diddly squat but i don't suppose there are any talented artists on here that would be interested in doing me a design of Rei or Asuka or both for my tattoos? I cant really pay anyone but i would be eternally grateful & you have a chance to have your designs immortalized on a person :)
i'll understand though if no ones interested in going to that trouble.

You could commission someone to draw one. That way you can pick an artist if you like their style too.
It seems 90% of the people on here are anti-tattoo so don't get too upset when people say it's stupid and you shouldn't get it done. It's a personal thing.

Don't listen to them. Get it. It's your body man. Your choices. Be existential.

Yea commissions cost, but in this day and age people won't do it out of the goodness of their hearts. So unless you find another picture, there aren't many other options.

A search for "ayanami_rei" or "soryu_asuka_langley~" on Gelbooru.com will turn up a ton of images, but be prepared for at least half (or more) of them to be porn. There are some worksafe, cute ones in there, though, so you might find something you like.
(Clarification on the suggested search terms: the ~ will cause it to also include the similar tags souryuu_asuka_langley and shikinami_asuka_langley, so you only have to bother with one search instead of three.)

Lol you weren't joking about the porn hahaha
thanks mate :)

I'm not saying he shouldn't get it, just that he should think about it before he dose in case he changes his mind. I gave my tat thought and i'm very happy I did because my first choices sucked. Give it thought.

Thanks for the help. after doing some more searching i'm starting to like the Rei holding the globe pic i posted. So i'm gonna start checking out some local tattoo artists & see if any would be up to the job & *sigh* what prices i'd be looking at?
After looking at the size & scale of the picture im starting to think my shoulder\arm might not be the right spot. I'll discuss with some tattoo artists what a better spot would be? (back or leg i'd assume) I'll hold off on Asuka for now as I'm pretty spoiled for choice when it comes to her.

While of course it's up to you, personally I wouldn't go for the Asuka picture you have up top. Even though (I think) it's official art, something about the face doesn't feel quite right to me. Looking at the parts of it separately, it's mainly the left side of her face that seems off somehow. With some slight adjustment, that picture could probably better depict some mischievousness that's just innocent and playful enough, but you could probably just as easily just find a different picture. She's really difficult to capture in a still image, I think, though I might just be overly picky.

Yeah i see what you mean. I've got plenty of reference pics though for Asuka so i'll have another look through them and try to find something better. Part of the reason while i'll temporarily hold off getting her done till i've taken care of Rei.

I'm gonna say this:
1) Picture yourself 40 years from now, 60 years old. Having a tattoo of 14 years old anime girl on your body. If you're comfortable with that, fine.
2) The colors will fade with time. Your skin might stretch, especially if you decide to start exercising (or stop doing it if you're doing it now). This will make character art look bad. Because of these things, I really do think something like the NERV logo or Lilith's mask would be more "future-proof".
3) Yeah, it's pricey. You are paying for the guy to carve an image into your skin that's gonna be there for the rest of your life. Do you want to trust that to some cheap hack? I don't think so either.

The art of being grown up, the dirty little secret nobody lets on about, is that it's all about getting comfortable with acting the part, and reaching that point where you stop giving a fuck, and do stuff that needs to be done, because it just needs doing, and ain't nobody else going to do it for you. -Mr. Tines
