ok.....I have to mention this....I have a footbag tattoo in my calf... your best bet is to put a footbag in a copy machine and try to get a good pic of it.....exact size that you want is important to. Take it to a tattoo artist and show him what you have. Even a tattoo artist might not notice how the panels are not just perfect pents and hexes. And the stitching and the gather need to be mentioned to the artist to recreate a realistic image. Figure out if you want it to be flat or 3d realistic or a cartoonish image. Then pay him $25 to draw up a COUPLE of sketches so that you can decide which one you like the best. Pick which one you want and get it.

GOOD LUCK !!! If the tattoo artist still says ....its just a soccer ball then that is what he will tattoo on you....so try to find an artist that is willing to talk to you , has a great portfolio, a great sketch, and is not loaded when doing the tattoo....also whoever you originally talk to is who should do the tattoo...not some apprentice

Btw, jazzkid, when I was first watching your footbag vids, I kept getting confused on certain dexes because my eye would catch the footbag tattoo AND the actual footbag. It creates a pretty cool effect actually, but I had to take a double take to figure it out at first! cool

It definitely gives a new meaning to double dexes
