Something To Soothe Some Tortured Souls...

Recommended Posts

Ok, missing a bit of love around here, so I thought I would throw out a little WIP ( work in progress).

Telecaster pick guard with shameless swiping of a iconic bit of tattoo flash.

Showing some love and props to my tattoo brethren plus it is rated PG to boot. :thumbsup:

Need to do some dying, but that will have to wait till another day.

Nice! I like it. I just have a simple question... What's the piece mounted on? Looks like a piece of place film. Its that to keep it from stretching too much? I've tried tape (box tape and blue painters tape) and while it helps keep the leather from stretching while I'm tooling, its a pain to remove and ruins the finish on the flesh side. Any suggestions?

It's a classic tattoo design. At the heart of it - IRONY

I've always looked at it as "that's the only kind of love some neighbors deserve", which I'm pretty sure is close to the intended meaning.

We've all that THAT neighbor ;)

The film is cheap shelf paper from Walmart. I use it to minimize stretch while tooling. It "usually" doesn't transfer the sticky stuff like packing tape.

Here it is finished, well except for the edges. I'll finish them up in a bit.

Cyber summed it up, just ironic, iconic tattoo flash.

Looks great! Tat flash lends itself very well to leatherwork.

Btw, how would you mount that on the guitar?
