My Martian Manhunter Tattoo

Postby Kyle » Mon Jun 26, 2017 11:25 am

So DC did a recent Looney Toons/DC Heroes crossover series which-- much to my delight-- featured this:



And this inspired me. I already have a Marvin the Martian tattoo on my right shoulder, and it looks kind of like this, but with the gun pointing straight forward:



So now I think I need a Martian Manhunter tattoo on my left. (At some other point, we'll discuss the epic John Carter of Mars back tattoo.) Which way do I go with it? On the one hand, there's the traditional Martian Manhunter:



But this is highly detailed and very prone to being done poorly. Or at the very least- any mistakes are going to be very noticeable. On the other hand, I could go for a cartoony/anime Martian Manhunter like this:



This is starting to appeal to me. Not only is it simpler and easier to get a good rendering from a tattoo artist- but it's cartoony nature seems to fit better with the Marvin the Martian that I already have.

Cartoony. Without extreme expense and very, very high talent...the other one will just look like ass.

What about a Bruce Timm take on Martian Manhunter - like this?


Outside of the comics, that's my favorite take on him.
