My Penguin is a tattoo – now it's more than just a coloring marker!

in Doodle Discussions

I started my day today with a fantastic email from a JGoode Penguin fan. I think I now have to dub her the penguin’s biggest fan. Yay! We actually have a biggest fan- today is a historical moment for JGD…

This is a photo from her message to me…

This is the original design:

Blue Fairy Penguin
Little Blue Fairy Penguin

I personally think its pretty darn cool that someone likes my art enough to permanently attach it to their being. That’s the whole point of the penguins… find your own penguin personality! This fits right in with my newest penguin themed site, Penguinality. Here you can find the penguin you like most and then personalize it just for you. Check it out!

Now I know, some of you may wonder, as some have mentioned.. copyright issue? Sure, could be. usually you need persmission for artist use their art… but really, is it an issue? Probably more so if the tattoo owner is planning on selling her arm – which I highly doubt she is. ha!

Special thanks to Kayla for sharing this with me. It really made my day!!

Wow – that looks FANTASTIC! It is really an amazing honor when people decide they like your art enough for a permanent body decoration! (I had someone do that too – http://www.foxvox.org/2008/05/dragon-tattoo.htm – although this design isn’t as cute as your penguin – LOL!)

Congrats! The tattooed person now has a permanent good luck charm!

That’s a very cool compliment for your very cool penguins. The kids still wear their penguin shirts regularly.

Last summer I did the same. I have the breast cancer ribbon penguin tattoo on my ankle. Let me know if you want to see a picture. I love it and get more comments aout how neat it is. I have a moutain scene behind mine because it was to cover up another tattoo. I LOVE IT!!! I love penguins and since my mom died from breast cancer it honors her as well.
