Dammit! See how slippery that pic is? Let me see if I can even find one to show you. :arrrrgh!:

HMMMM????????

i dont think you quite realize how hard im going to be laughing if this is the picture in question.just laughing at the irony of it all

Ah ha!

Sort of. I believe if you go to this URL: http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Search.aspx?assettype=Image&sfkc=Dan+Auerbach#6

A thumbnail will be listed there. If not, just search for image #102028221 and it should display. (I'll probably get a bill for posting a link to their site!)

I talked with company rep and explained for what purpose and intent I wanted the photo. I was told that a tattoo was considered personal "in home" display and that the cost for the right to print a high quality copy was 800.00 unless I intended to use it for more than 20 years (WTF?) No, I suppose in 19 years I'll just have the fucker sandblasted off my skin (????)!

"Okaaaaaaay," I say, "Think I'll pass on that one."

I just need to locate the image elsewhere and try to get a quality print.

Any idea where I might find it elsewhere on line? Here's the thing, I'm not being cheap; the tattoo itself, including a tattooing of Dan's Autograph beneath the portrait, is within dollars of the price for the right to print the damned photo myself!

Still... it is an awfully nice photo. And I do have a copy of it but it's not the quality I need. :sigh:

strange, so this time i enter the thread, your original picture is there....
they're close! very close, but yeah theres just that angle of the shot.

I know, SLIPPERY bastard! (photo appearing, disappearing) Yep. And that angle makes it for me.

Im not familiar with the legal red tape of using photography, so i cant offer any sound advice. I think that if you can only find it in one place, they have the rights to it or whatever. IF IT WERE ME in this situation, i would just press the "print screen" key on the keyboard while the picture is up, and then i would open up Microsoft paint or an application of the like, and press paste. then crop out the junk, print the pic and take it to my tattoo artist and be like 'BAM.Hook me up!" BUT thats just me, i tend to disregard the little things in life like that.

Oh Heavens! I am far too uptight and proper for such violations!

chances are that ill never bump into the exact photographer who took that pic; "HEY THATS MY PHOTO PRICK! you owe me!"

Now that was funny! I tend to get a bit visual and had a whole mind movie happening there.

oh and i was laughing because i thought it would be funny if i had the pic u were looking for in my collection. I saw the smaller pic and then browsed mine to find dan in the same outfit with his head tilted back like you were refrencing
oh and according to my research these pics are from 2010 bonnaroo?

Ah makes sense and I would have laughed at my idiotic self right along with you had the pic been here all along. Thank you for your help. Sincerely appreciate it. I do have a copy of the photo but, being mildly prefectionistic, I wanted a high quality pic. Time to lower my standards a bit and have more faith in my artist. Dude is awesome so it will work out.

Did you ever get the tattoo? Or find the image even?

Oh yes, I got the image.

It's one of (if not the) best photos of Dan, in my opinion.

Been searching for an artist (met with several in recent months) that I feel can accomplish the fine detail that is essential for what will be a large and very expensive custom piece. I have many tattoos all musical or spiritual in nature. This one includes the image of Dan (in its entirety) that is mentioned in this thread. I am also having my favorite image of Pat and some other significant TBK elements arranged to create one of my largest and most expensive tattoos. Of the artists I have met to date, none have been qualified/gifted enough to handle the portrait detail that I want.

Oddly coincidental with your post, I located a new artist and began the initial inquiry process yesterday. The artist specializes in portrait and guitar work. I am very hopeful that this one will work out.

I've had fine work done by other artists, including many band logos, instruments, etc. but Dan and Pat will be my first portraits and I want them to be perfect. If the artist accepts the challenge and I like the stencil, I will go ahead and get the tat asap. As you can imagine, the artist has a lengthy wait list. It's not a matter of if I will get the tattoo; it's a matter of when. I'm quite excited and more than a little impatient about it.
