RB26 Inspired tattoo (3/4 sleeve) *under construction* - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Sil-Eighty SE-K · 10-21-2009, 06:44 PM

heres some pics of the sleeve im working on.... i figured u guys would appriciate it. please note this is far from done.....this is just the line work.... im going again next friday to finish the line work under my arm on top and start shading and filling.... prolly 2-3 more sittings left cuz i think about 12 more hours of drill time
there is 6 rb26 pistons/conrods (used one of mine for reference) that spiral around my arm.... on the elbow is the rb oil pump gears, up top is a T04Z turbo.... its made to look like its coming out of my skin..... once shaded itll be more clear..... more to come

9 hours deep.... going thursday to finish shoulder.... than the following friday to do elbow.... after that i gotta go do the line and fill under the arm up top and then one more sitting to fill in the blanks.....4 more sittings

11 hours deep now.....

14 hours so far

lol

stay tuned for more

everyone is entitled to their own opinion and Im happy with my tat

FLAME AWAY! lol

airforceone451 · 10-21-2009, 07:03 PM

HyperTek · 10-21-2009, 07:13 PM

But maybe post in the Tattoo thread rather than making more clutter.

blasting_speed · 10-21-2009, 07:24 PM

Really good art work dude. Not my choice of tattoo, but the art work is nice.

azndoc · 10-21-2009, 07:31 PM

It's just an engine.

Your taking it too serious.

But either way its your arm and the work isn't half bad.

GLWT

*MELLO*SOS* · 10-21-2009, 07:39 PM

Dope. Where's the short crank snout? hahaha

I was expecting something more RB centric, what you have is generic enough it applies to any turbo motor.

What else are you going to have done?

S14_Kouki · 10-21-2009, 07:42 PM

Yeah looks good

atutt · 10-21-2009, 07:47 PM

It's actually pretty badass... Not something I would get.
the artwork is wicked. And at least it's not gay like most of the automotive related tats...

*DALAZ_68* · 10-21-2009, 07:56 PM

LOL

that is all

Don't want to turn 40 years old and go, shit wish I didn't do an RB engine on my arm, I want a different engine on my arm.

No problemo.

maplejesse · 10-21-2009, 08:20 PM

Now when you lift weights you should get turbo lag.

I actually think it looks pretty cool.

bardabe · 10-21-2009, 08:26 PM

dude thats pretty bad ass i always wanted to do that.

JDM_inspired · 10-21-2009, 09:16 PM

eh, to each his/her own...

fishyboi · 10-21-2009, 09:32 PM

looks good

godrifttoday · 10-21-2009, 09:56 PM

Nice tattoo always wanted a sleeve but to chicken.... Quick questions do u have a rb26 motor at least? Lol sorry, just curious not sarcastic

Sil-Eighty SE-K · 10-21-2009, 10:31 PM

someone mentioned it was generic.... ya i wanted that.... i didnt have to be an rb26.... it was just inspired by the rb26.... the pistons/rod/oil pump gears are the exact same as in the actual motor..... no one could tell the subtle differences and that i like.... it is a straight 6 on my arm tho....

i lol'ed. at the mkIII supra in your sig. 7M, superior.

at OP: when i saw the thread title, i immediately thought of that dude that got a chevy cavalier tattooed on his forearm. the art on your's isn't bad, but it's not something i would do, personally.

Chrischeezer · 10-21-2009, 11:10 PM

nahhh 2jz swap ftw

"7m.... the power to blow up on command"

but I'm a rb26 owner myself

2_slow_40 · 10-21-2009, 11:24 PM

It looks pretty sick dude, (the ink itself), it's just not something that i'd have done personally, but if that's what you wanted on your arm, then I think you went to right guy to get it done, cause it looks like he knows what he's doin'. Anyways, congrats on getting the sleeve you wanted.

ILoveMyRHS13 · 10-21-2009, 11:31 PM

Damn, dude, that's a pretty sick tattoo! Nothing I'd ever get, but hey, if it's something you love, why not?!

zenki.life · 10-22-2009, 01:32 AM

that turned out really great, however.........

its just an engine. do you really feel the need to have it on your arm for the rest of your life? even when your an old man and are not legally able to drive the streets anymore?

if so..........you did the right thing.

if not........ well you are young and stupid.

awesome nonetheless.

drift_limo · 10-22-2009, 01:47 AM

Im srry but that is jsut plain stupid.

but it looks sick ..

Its like when people get honda tattos. now its nissan im gonna see a trend happening.
