Tattoo artist
  • (Wasn't sure where I put this) I recently got my basic membership and would love to have "art" with my "bred by" tattoo
    I only have mobile and I'm unsure n how it works, if anyone has information and\or is willing to make some art for me that'd be fantastic.

    What kind of payment do most people accept? And would I even be able to use the tattoo artist if I'm only on mobile? Also are made tattoos editable? I went ahead and created my "bred by ColorGood" tattoo and don't want to pay more years add art to it

  • I enjoy doing that kind of thing, but I have no idea about how much to charge, or if it works on phones. If we can get some answers to those questions, and you don't find someone with more experience, I will make some for you. I made my tattoos, I use variations on the fleur de lis in my signature.

    Here's 2 that I use. Red with 2s is for 2nd gen, the white one is for my horses who are hetero for KP

  • I don't know if it's possible on mobile, but I'd be glad to do it for you, if you like. :) I remember someone doing it for the price of the tattoo slot + 2k. :)
  • I've seen a lot of the fleur-de-lis tattoos you use, I like seeing them. And I have a feeling there is no way for it to work on mobile. If so I guess we'll just have to wait until someone tells us how? If\qhen I figure it out I'll be sure to let you guys know

  • I just tried to edit one of mine on my phone and couldn't get it to work.

  • You can edit them, but only if no horses are wearing the tattoo at the time. So you would need to remove it from all horses wearing it, first.

    'You can only edit a tattoo if it not currently being used on a living horse.'
    Thanked by 1ConfluenceFarms
  • Actually, I've edited mine all the time while they're already on a horse. I was always on a laptop, but I doubt that would be different for a mobile.
  • I have as well, on the laptop, but couldn't do it on the phone. I'm not ready to pay for a new slot just to test out if you can build one from scratch, though.

    eta: I just tried it on one of my tattoos, and it worked from my laptop. I did have to refresh the image of the horse for it to show up, but I added some black dots, then removed them again.

    ColorGood, when you say there is 'no way for it to work on mobile', what do you mean by work? I can add and delete tattoos from my cell and from my tablet (it may be that my stupid tablet is just too old...it's having spastic fits just for fun these days). I just can't build one.

    Also, what do you want your tattoo to look like, in general?

  • VegemiteQueen is correct in that when tattoos were first introduced that restriction did apply and was in effect for several real life years, I believe. Eventually, Haystack was able to adjust the programming so that tattoos became editable even when on horses, which was a great boon because some tattoos were on deceased horses which froze them forever.

  • I'm so sorry for the late reply I didn't see this until now. And I meant that I have no way to build a tattoo on mobile. I can add and remove them but can't make my own art and I don't think I'd be able to upload pre-made onto the site from mobile

    As far as how I want it to look is undecided. I want something simply but recognizable

  • What sort of things do you like CGS? Do you have pets? some type of symbol for the area where you live? a hobby? an emoji you like?
    image
  • Well my hobbies are hiking and making art.
    I was thinking of an artist palette as I'm a watercolor painter, and I often sketch up my hj2 horses and watercolor them. I like the idea of adding something about where I live which is nebraska so a common symbol for that (to me) is a cottonwood tree.
    I think a good tattoo would be a cottonwood tree and an artist brush?

  • Color Good, my Sooty+ tattoo (made by the incomparable Abbey Road) is her interpretation of a cottonwood tree! This boy has it in his bottom corner.

  • It's very cute! And a lot of what I imagine mine would look like. A it less bushy with lighter colors would be perfect

  • Here are some tiny palletes. One with colors, one with your stable initials. My Fleur is on there for comparison.

  • Well, never mind those, then, I'll work on a tree!
    image
  • I really like the color palette with my stable initial s!
    But I'm also set on the tree as well

  • No reason you can't have multiple tattoos! I find they're every bit as addictive in pixel form as they are reputed to be in real life!
  • I love my real life one! And when I started bringing in more hbs I'll have several tattoos for my ponies and they'll be so pretty
