Captain Jack Sparrow Full Back Tattoo we did for Phoenix Comic Con (Pics)

Hey guys,

Here is the temporary back tattoo I donned for this past Phoenix Comic Con. artists work.

After almost 9 months of researching, asking around town for tattoo artists or artistic people to do the tattoo, asking people on the internet, etc etc, I finally found the right combination. The tattoo was supposed to be ink from ReelCreations.com, but after the second attempt, it wouldn't stick to my skin. Because it was the night before the Comic Con and I already had the tattoo artist lined up, we decided because the ink wasn't sticking that my next (and only) best option was Sharpie pen. I'm pretty sure I have cancer now, but the tattoo turned out pretty cool. It's not picture perfect by movie standards, but we gave it our best and in the end I'm proud of the result.

For San Diego Comic Con this year we'll try alcohol activated makeup.

So, near 6 hours later we have this as a result, let me know your thoughts and how to improve on it!:

Actually saw you walking the floor and it looked great! A couple of us were in the bar across the street later and were chatting about the detail.

That looks pretty darn good! Don't worry about the ink...my daughter has been "drawing" on me with black sharpie for years and I'm okay (so far!) lol

Saw this in person and looked great, you have to be careful with Reel Creations if you dont get the right makeup to alcohol mix it the alcohol will make the paint very thin and not stick. I use the reel Creations for my Darth Maul make up and it works incredible out of a airbrush maybe you could make stencils for the tattoo and airbrush it on...in any case i look forward to seeing it again at SDCC

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback.

A friend suggested I use just straight alcohol-activated makeup, that way the tattoo won't smudge. On the drive up to Phoenix I couldn't lean back in the chair, and in the hotel room I had to lay on my stomach the whole night. The uncomfortable things we do in the name of dressing-up like other people.

@Rdmaul, are you the Darth Maul dad I saw?
