Hey!

 

Does anyone have a The Scientist tattoo?

 

I'm getting one in a few weeks. I asked a friend of mine, who's really talented, to draw me a few ones based on the idea I had - a simple idea, a simple phrase. Here's the one I chose... :

 

 

What do you think?

There is a thread about tatoos here

 

Don't forget to search before creating a new thread :escaping2:

Yeah you're right! I did search though, and I found that there were a lot of lone threads about tattoos. Didn't see the « official » one. My bad ;)

Merge please?

 

Anyway, I like the idea, I am just not sure that this design you show will be read the right way by people who do not know the lyrics. The two oo's for example look like they make an 'oo' together as in the word 'moose'. Also does it make me think of marriage, or was that an idea behind the way you got the letters arranged? The 'it' looks like an 'H'. And three different types of 'a' confuse me. The second 'a' looks therefor more like a 'd' than an 'a'. So I would be afraid that people read it as ‘Noob dy said H

wd’s eav’

 

I am not trying to diss your friend's design, I just like to be very critical with these things because a tattoo is for life and so you'd like something - I imagine - that you wholeheartedly stand behind.

I tried it on some friends and they got the "nobody". The "oo" wasn't my idea but I tthoroughly love it because the scientist is my bestfriend's and my favourite song, and he made me discover Coldplay, so there's another message behind that song for me, and this suits perfectly.

 

My friends also got the entire phrase (not all of them but the majority) - after a few seconds (or a few minutes for some of them) - and they're French ^^

 

I like the idea that the message is kind of hidden : it's a story to tell. People will ask.

 

I have others drafts (about 30, and all kinds of ideas). Here's another one :
