Living Tattoos - Photoshop Contest [26 entries]

Winning entry, with a score of:

60.8%

Contest goal:

How would it be, if the snake tattoo on an arm suddenly comes to life? In this contest, your goal is to do just that. Select any photo of a body part with a tattoo on it, and make the tattoo come to life! You have to show at least the part of the body, where the tattoo is, a part of the tattoo and of course the part that comes alive. Good luck!

Required level: 7+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

jaescoe21: i thought you were suppose to select a body with a tattoo on it, not add a tattoo to it. Am i wrong? ( 5 years and 3676 days ago )

jawshoewhah: No you are not wrong jaescoe. ( 5 years and 3676 days ago )

Clinge: Finding a source to create something with will be an art on its own

( 5 years and 3676 days ago )

Keiley22: contest description is very easy to understand, so i have to agree with you jaescoe

( 5 years and 3676 days ago )

Keiley22: im sooooo entering this one, awsome idea by the way Lelaina

( 5 years and 3676 days ago )

dmspaulding07: I am not skilled enought to enter this but did one anyways, you can view it in my profile.... ( 5 years and 3675 days ago )

Keiley22: you went to all the trouble of making it and then not enter

...... you should have given it a go in the contest mate

( 5 years and 3674 days ago )

dmspaulding07: I wish I could but only a level 3, and have to be level 7+.... ( 5 years and 3674 days ago )

Nator: Excellent idea ( 5 years and 3674 days ago )

Keiley22: aww sorry to hear that dms... i hate it when that happens to me as well

( 5 years and 3673 days ago )

jawshoewhah: I think people keep forgetting you are supposed to make a picture of an EXISTING tattoo come to life, not impose on on the subject. (finally spell check before we leave a comment) ( 5 years and 3673 days ago )

Mozzafan07: Amazing entries from everyone, just thought I'd say. ( 5 years and 3672 days ago )

Keiley22: im waiting for my brother to send some tattoos through email.. He is a tattooist

and soooooo good

( 5 years and 3672 days ago )

rickaaz: Great Great ( 5 years and 3671 days ago )

jaescoe21: i Think all of these look pretty good but people need to read the rules better. Although some of the tattoos that were added are good, im probably going to vote low because they didn't read the rules. Is that wrong to do that? ( 5 years and 3671 days ago )

jawshoewhah: No jaescoe that's what you should do. I don't care how well they were chopped. Off theme is OFF theme.!! I would hope those off-theme entries get removed but somehow I see them sticking... ( 5 years and 3671 days ago )

jawshoewhah: Look people, look at it this way (you who think it's ok to just impliment the tattoo on a blank canvas of the body. In my opinion, TOO EASY!!! IIt's th challenge of taking something already existing to show your skills at making a tattoo come to life and probably why this contest is a cash contest. Most of the more difficult contest themes seem to be the money makers. ( 5 years and 3671 days ago )

jawshoewhah: However I think TOTALLY changingthe existing tattoo into something else (using same tattoo image parts) would be fine. Free idea, no charge. ( 5 years and 3671 days ago )

jaescoe21: I'm going to be disappointed if the "FAKE" tattoos win. If the voters vote high on them then they didn't read the rules either. ( 5 years and 3671 days ago )

jaescoe21: ok so i see at least 4 that did not follow the rules. there might be more i didn't want to look. ( 5 years and 3671 days ago )

dmspaulding07: Jaescoe and Jaws did you guys see mine that is in my album? I believe I followed the rules, but still have a few tweeks that need to be done. But being only level 3, i cant enter.... ( 5 years and 3671 days ago )

jaescoe21: ya dms... i saw yours. It was well put together just some shadows would be great

( 5 years and 3671 days ago )

jawshoewhah: If you manipulated an existing tattoo photo you followed the rules, if you made your own on blank skin, you didn't. ( 5 years and 3670 days ago )

runsterboi: all i know is i so wanted to do something like this and im not high enough lol oh well hopefully they will make one for us to do which i put in for ( 5 years and 3670 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Any entry submitted after 2000hrs GMT Friday 5th February will be removed ( 5 years and 3670 days ago )

jawshoewhah: So much for trying to sweep..... ( 5 years and 3668 days ago )
