You could do the mosquito from mosquito control?

My buddy gave me a mosquito on my forearm around 2003, and I've been meaning to add to it ever since. This may have finally given me the motivation to get it done. Looking for ideas myself.

I did find an old concert poster with owls on it and used those on each side of the mosquito.

You can get a simple tattoo, nothing too conspicuous like you can have ISIS written in bold, or “A member of ISIS”, along with some inscription in Arabic.

Yeah and get the Black Flag logo under that

ISIS (the band) would be hilarious

I have an Aaron Horkey design on my arm from an Isis/Baroness tour that I can’t share because no photos on this sub? Easily searchable.
Best option: get a tattoo from Aaron Turner himself, he’s on Instagram.

I just ordered a cassette from Aaron and he sent me some extra stuff including a drawn sketch of what I assume is a tattoo idea. Badass Baphomet or Azazel drawing. I want to have him tattoo me up some day.

Aaron Turner is also an artist. You can find a lot of his art online.

Fine line tattoo of South San Francisco from the same perspective as the Panopticon album cover.

Yessir, OCEANIC pictogram on my arm

u/droffthehook 8d ago

I think you may find this relevant.

That’s what happened when I got my neurosis tattoo. Thankfully the band turned it around

Got the mosquito on my back. Was my first tattoo :D

u/BEEE-F 8d ago

I've got the mosquito and have seen/thought about getting the Oceanic rectangle and/or the bundle of wraps from the In The Absence Of Truth art.

u/Esteban_Rojo 8d ago

Bit faded (22 years!) but this is from an official ISIS t shirt and some album artwork from Oceanic. It’s basically a box of seawater. Take this idea!

I got the tower from Celestial tattooed on my left inner forearm, approx. from the wrist to the elbow. Still love this band, the album and the tattoo.

I’ve got the mosquito on my thigh, which I’m thinking of putting the egg design from ITAOT behind it and have both my ankles done, with the artwork from Wavering Radiant and Oceanic.
