The Good 'ol Pirate Tattoo Parlour

@Stebag thats awesome dude! The good thing with that tattoo is even if SoT sucks (please dont suck) its still a good design in its own right.

At least you didn't get something like Sea of Thieves in a Love Mum style heart.

@NuttyTwitchy22 The easiest way I've found is start up an IMGUR account and then do the following:

• Drag the picture from your computer to the browser window with Imgur website open, it should prompt to "Drop Images Here" (it will auto upload) to Imgur by dropping it on the website.
• Don't have to publish it, unless you want to.
• Hover your mouse over your account name (top right)
• Click "Images"
• Find the image you uploaded and click on it.
• You should find a bunch of URL's on the right of the window that pops up.
• Copy the "Direct Link" (if you need to resize the picture along the bottom are "sizes" you can pick from which will alter the link slightly, changing the size)
• Create a post in SoT forum and click the little picture button above.
• You'll see text like this: 
• Replace "image url" with the Direct Link you copied earlier. (leaving the ( ) in place)
• Either leave the ![alt text] as is and the photo will should just show up in preview. BUT if you want to create a link instead to the photo you delete the ! and change "alt text" to what ever you want the link to say, like CLICK HERE or what ever.

Hope that makes sense!

Good luck, I know my instructions were clear if you successfully upload a tattoo picture! haha

EDIT: Made instructions a little clearer.

@hallower1980 oh apologies! I meant drag the picture into the IMGUR website window. Not just the URL of your browser. One seconf I'll take a picture.

I have included pictures in a post before, so I know it can be done. But it must depend on the link. If I link to a share link from my OneDrive account, it doesn't show on this forum.

Yeah the image needs to be hosted online somewhere. Also in my experience the image has to have a .jpg or .png. or .gif at the end of the URL otherwise the forum doesn't recognise it as a picture.

Example: ![alt text]@(http://imgur.com/DxhhKLw)
if I try to post this link minus the @ symbol. it won't show up. But if I put .jpg at the end of "DxhhKLw" part it shows the picture of two metroids I made on Super Smash Bros.

Have Imgur.com open and drag the photo from your desktop/save location onto the window and it will say "Drop Images Here".

• Then use the "Direct URL" as directed above.
  Also note that when you have an account and signed in, the upper right of the picture below will no longer say sign in or sign up. It will have your username like for me normally (on my computer) it says TheAaronLeigh
  

Would you guys like me to make a dedicated thread better explaining in detail how to properly navigate the forums, settings, and "How to's" on posting links, photos etc?

I'll make some example posts and images like the one above showing and pointing to key features. May help some users.

@CaptnJaq very much so. Ive sent off some images to my tattoo artist and I'll see what he comes up with.

Couldn't get a photo to post @NuttyTwitchy22 ?

I'll send you a PM I'll try to help.

why not this one?

Bwahahahaha that legitimately made me laugh out loud. Also got a quick knee slap. Nicely done.

Nicely done @NuttyTwitchy22 on the upload. I can see them fine.

Also the tattoos are great. Love the Fairy Tail one especially (good show that)

Hey guys, I need some help for ideas for my tattoo sleeve.

I'm adding to my Kraken above, I'm thinking about getting a pirate themed sleeve and having gaming and nerd nods throughout but I was hoping some of you could help me come up with ideas.

Currently I have planned the following:

• Jay and Silent Bob (dressed as pirates) opening a chest and being excited by whats inside.
• A rum barrel with "DK" printed on it.
• A wax seal with the Sea of Thieves skull pressed into it.
• Ship Helm (filler)
• Key (filler)

I love Nintendo, Metroid, Tenacious D, Legend of Zelda, video games in general, Muppets, L****y Tunes. etc etc.

With the things above what other things can I hide throughout the piece? Any kind of pirate themed ideas I can blend in with gaming stuff?

Thanks in advance for the assist. It's difficult brainstorming ideas.

@CaptnJaq nice! Thanks heaps!

Thats actually quite helpful. Thanks so much.
