Maybe someone here can help me with my quest....
I've been looking for a good chess graphic that I could get a tattoo of. The RHP pawn has been the best I've found so far, but I'm still looking for a better one (no offense, Russ).
Anyone out there know of a chess based design that would make a decent tattoo?
I have been doing a bit of research on the same topic. I have several tattoos; one of which is really large, and I'd like to get a chess tattoo on my ribs. Let me dig up the image I've in mind...
Edit: I'm having trouble finding it. At any rate, I'd keep it simple. A stylized piece outline would be the coolest.

Order this t-shirt and find a good artists (not just a tattoo guy). If he doesn't have a portfolio for you to look at, don't even consider him. And if he does, make sure you like it.

Seems like a cool design.
I hadn't seen that one before and I think that it would transfer into a good tat. I already have an artist that I use. I'll have to get the shirt and take it down to him.

Originally posted by kirksey957It's a good picture, but I don't it would transfer to a tattoo very well. I pretty much need just a 2-D design.

The ones that are drawn as 3-D look good for awhile then tend to resemble garbage when the fine lines and shadowing start to fade.
Thanks, though.
Originally posted by dmnelson84I'll definately go through with it. It will be about my 16th tattoo. It's just a matter of when - finding a design I like a and getting it drawn into a tatoo. I'm expecting to get it this summer.
Post a pic of the tat if you go through with it. I'm sure everyone would get a kick out of it.
I submit it to RHP faces after I get it.
I was on this same quest a couple of years ago. I found an image once of a Knight that looked like the head of some kind of demon horse on a base. I haven't been able to find it since. Another idea I had was to use the RHP pawn (fire and all) set against a 2x2 chessboard background on the diagonal. I have no artistic skill though, so you'll have to try to visualize these images.
*Edit: Anyone think Russ and Chris would kick in a free lifetime membership to the first person who gets the RHP logo tattooed? 😉
Originally posted by BLReidLOL. I doubt Russ will go for a lifetime membership, but it sure would be nice.

I like the RHP pawn as well. That's been leading the pack of possible images so far. The 2x2 board might be a nice touch also.
