There is a guy in CA Northern, who I believe is the only guy who does glow in the dark Tats, which can't be seen in the day time only with a black lite. This would play great at a seance, but that is me.

Victor.
Let me make one final effort to help you see my point, before I get back to real life. What you or I think about tattoos is irrelevant. My comment was that I think most people--certainly not all, just "most"--have negative stereotypes about those so adorned. Do you doubt that? If so, the discussion is over, as we simply disagree on a factual issue. You have a perfect right to your own opinion but you don't have a right to your own facts. So I stand by my statement that people tend to stereotype minorities, and that these stereotypes are unfair and often hurtful. I believe this to be a sad fact of life. I mean no offense to you in any way and if I have offended you I do apologize. Ed |

Ed,
Wouldn't it be a prejudige to "assume" that most people think that tattoos are dumb ?

Sure, I am making that assumption. Do you assume the opposite?
I assume, too, that the sun will rise tomorrow. But, no, I can't prove that it will. |

Maybe you can't prove the sun will rise tomorrow but it isn't very hard to prove people's opinion on tattoos. Just ask and you'll get the answer. I am not assuming as I've asked people their opinion about tattoos. The very big majority of the people I asked said they like tattoos because the majority of the people I asked are from the younger generation (like 35 and below). I noticed though that the opinion of older people (like 45 and above) were pretty different but most were particularly against it when it comes to their kid wanting to have a tattoo. Again, like PhatDad said, different generations think differently.

When I was a tattoo artist, there was a saying:

On to the original topic of the post: Yes.
Imagine you have a series of geometric shapes tattooed on your body, arranged in an intricate design and in varying colors. Perhaps these shapes form a sleeve for one arm. Suppose each shape is a different color. Now, gesturing to one shape in particular on an arm in a subtle fashion, you could ask someone to think of a color-- the first one that comes to mind. "Read" the color off from them (a right color hit could be indicative of getting a right shape hit afterwards) and, if successful, ask them to think of a shape. Just a thought. I don't know if it would work but Derren Brown's made a believe of me that if you show people ANYTHING and then ask them to think of that thing, they will do so and remain completely convinced that you had nothing to do with it.

* With the right tattoo you could be prepared for the Triangle Circle force.
* When you get a new tattoo, have a part of it made to serve as a frame, but leave the space in it for you to fill in (with boon, prepared rubber stamp, rub on fake tattoo) number/name/shape/card to match one chosen by a spectator. * Your tattoos could be used as pseudo-explanation for why someone picked a particular number/s, colour/s etc. When things coincide, you point out how your spectator must have subliminally picked up the design of your tattoo. * You tattoo a bar code to be used as an “open” prediction. Of course you need access to a bar code reader as well. * A Rorschach inkblot. |

Does anyone have a tatto of Banachek's Universal Drawing?

It would also be hard to rotate the tattoo to fit whatever someone had drawn, thought of, etc. to get the correct alignment. This is the drawing from "Psychological Subtleties" page 58, for you Banachek fans. On the other hand, getting the "Universal Drawing" done as a means of identifying (in an obscure fashion) as a mentalist / disciple of Banachek would be clever.

Someone asked me to comment here about one of my effects that has been in print for quite sometime. It made its rounds underground before finding its way into my 2004 lecture publication "Diapason".
The effect in question is called "Drawing out Time" and involves a Tattoo if a watch. The Tattoo watch actually keeps real time- the hands, though inked on actually change to the correct time....the watch is examinable as well! It's a very awesome effect. It's 100% propless as well. If you don't wish to make the tattoo you may simply draw on a circle or a detailed watch (as detailed as you'd like) and hands and go from there. It may be used as a prediction or simply as a way to "keep the time". It may be done anytime, anywhere. -George Tait I think I killed the thread |
