Request for valve pics...

[Magnetmaz]

this is going to sound stupid, but i was hoping someone would have some black and white "clip art" style pictures of tubes.....

something looking like a technical drawing of a valve would even suffice... the simpler the better.


I'm just trying to get some ideas for a new tattoo. If you've got something that would be cool, please post

thanks,

A tube tattoo would look a bit, er... phallic, wouldn't it?

 

[Magnetmaz]

maybe that's what i'm going for

I didn't ask for your sharp wit, i just asked for pics

Why not just check out some tube datasheets?

Hmmm.... a valve tatoo? Whatever floats your boat .

 

[jackinnj]

just use MSPaint -- for the top and bottom halves use the oval tool, then snip in half with the box select tool, then connect and draw in the lines. Will give you a nice *.bmp file.

Well Maz,

How about these for a start. You might be able to tweak them in photoshop to get what you want.

Glad you liked them. Unfortunately they're all I have at the moment, but if I find some more in my travels, I'll post them, on one condition. I'd like to see a pic of your tat when it's done.

Cheers

try here

and google image search can be cool, just search for RCA, valve, tube, etc

 

[Magnetmaz]

of course.....how could i not post a tattoo of a valve on this forum? You (us) nerds live for this crap

incidentally, i'm getting a tattoo of my Turntables tonearm, too...

TATTOO

Hi,

I'd like to see a pic of your tat when it's done.

Just one proviso...this is not going to go on top of that other tube,is it?

What about a simple electronic triode symbol?

Pic on rq.

A couple of years ago I had a transistor symbol tattoo on my left forearm. Unfortunately the tattooist didn´t do a very good job so I covered it up later. For the last year I´ve been building with tubes instead so now I´m (too) thinking of a triode tattoo.

Should also mention that I´m not stealing anyones ideas here, since ìve had this in mind for quite some time.(long before I read this thread) Can´t think of anything lower than stealing someones tattoo

hmm

i would get a tat of my tables tone arm, but my tables tone arm is held together with tape.. it might look kinda trashy...

Diy stuff look trashy? That would have to be a first!

This would be the Right Stuff for to TATOO
a tube lover.
Gives the choice of interpretate
as a WOMAN lover.
In Case he would get tired of TUBE-distortion...

Oh my...

here's something you don't see every day

The one of the chick straddling the valve....cool idea, but i dont think that valve could look more like a sex toy.

While i'm all for the notion of girls straddling just about anything, this one i'm going to have to nix.

The RCA on the left side of the above picture is exactly what i am looking for. Thank you

How about a beautiful old #10?
