do any of you like cemetry (identical ) layouts ,or do you like there to be a little imperfection in a flame job? just trying to get an idea because my little brother and i almost went to the front yard over this on nascar sunday! not to mention there was too much budweiser going around!and it was my pop's b-day!
Brother thinks that a flame job is supposed to be cemetrical (like a sticker) and i think that it not being perfect makes it perfect! what are your thoughts? todd a sample will follow!

Not Perfect would be my vote. :D
Anyone can have a cemetry (identical ) layout. Buy it at Pep Boys or Autozone.
Go with the original :cool:

personally I think flames should be random. Not one tip should be the same as the other. Fire is very fluid. I guess if you want it to look like a sticker, then make identical.
:wink:

I still got at least one more sitting to finish the linework. I have no clue on color except that I don't think I want it orange or yellow:confused:

Thing is, I think that's what I wanted to hear. I'm just not feelin the color. In fact, I'm kinda wishing I went full black instead of the regular blueish ink. I'm going for a real thick line though.

thats what im going for on the right, all of the tatoos that you see at the river and all of that color,.... lets see them in about five years or so, yeah there's the occasional guy or girl who takes care of it when they step outside, but 99.9% of us dont give a shit after about a year of rubbing on lotion! and that is the truth!
black and grey all the way!!!!
now im going to bed!...late

Your brother is wrong. There is NOTHING symetrical about flames. They should be random. If he questions it, have him stare at the fireplace for a few minutes. Then, while he's in a fixed trance, SMACK HIM UP THE BACKSIDE OF HIS HEAD! This will help knock some sense into him. :D

I don't prefer almost any design on my helmets to be totally symetrical. This way it can't be mistaken for a fancy sticker job.
