Thank you Pete =)
Hmm...I also wasn't sure if the butterfly logo would show on the knife, so I was thinking about putting the logo behind the knife like a background image? |

I think your idea is interesting actually. In my case.., having the artistic ability of the average Homing Pigeon....., it is hard for me to visualize, but we'll see what Aram thinks. I'm guessing he's gonna want the butterfly on the tang because most of us testosterone types are basically concrete-sequential-thinkers.., and our right brain only works with jumper cables from 3-Phase type voltage.... Anyway.., we'll wait for Aram to kick in since he's the one that's going to be in pain, have the Tat get infected, puss-drippin nodules all over his arm..., go to sick bay, get Office Hours, and demoted one rank for destroying Government property ~~~> (his body is the Navy's...lol). Note to Aram: Girls laugh at this stuff, but don't realize they can Court Martial you for sneezing...lol. Thanks Chrissy....you're the neatest! I know you don't really have time for the Bali-Dreams in our little Community, but thank you! If I was your age.., I'd take you to dinner, dancing.., a nice walk on the beach, and then you'd dump me like a Narc at a Biker-Rally... 8o ~~~> But such is life!

do you want colors or just a high contrast black and white (your skin color rather instead of white)...?
Chrissy : that is a hard question. i have no idea which would look better. My skin color is kinda tan, does that help? Pete : Yes, please (whenever you have time) shoot me an email with a few of teh customs you have that jody made. Skeletonized handles for sure. And half an inch apart i ment from an open position. So its like open, but not fully. Am i making sense? Latch pointing outward, sorry i wasn't clear on that. I always tought the T latches looks cooler in the pictures. I dont know how to describe it, but i kind of want this knife to have a 'true balisong' meaning you know? nothing fancy, but looks intimidating. thanks Chrissy and Pete ) i really do appreciate it. arampapik ISAAKIAN@LHA3.NAVY.MIL |

Chrissy - I think the logo on the background is an interesting idea, but I think im gona go with it on the Tang because, well, i dont know why. Hey Chrissy, where you from? Hawaii right?
Pete - """Anyway.., we'll wait for Aram to kick in since he's the one that's going to be in pain, have the Tat get infected, puss-drippin nodules all over his arm..., go to sick bay, get Office Hours, and demoted one rank for destroying Government property ~~~> (his body is the Navy's...lol).""" Pete, you are so right about that one. I had a friend go to captains mast for "GETING SHOCKED." Its not like he got shocked on purpose, but he was trying to get some nuts out of something, but he got shocked. Nothign happened, but he went to medical, and then safety department wrote him up! He got some restriction time. I think they're getting reall stupid now a days. I get out in December (hopefully) ) Mykl Clark = Those are some neat tats man. Thanks for showing them here, appreciate it ) I like all teh tats, but especially the 2nd one. Its really simple, but artistic. Me, im gona go with a Jody Costum. I dont know why. arampapik |

Here is a smart answer. with a couple stupid questions back. Do you want the best? Or, do you want a cheap POS on your body for life? If you want a WOW tattoo as apposed to an UGG tattoo, from one of the best in the world in your area, here is what you do. Look up Judy Parker at Pacific tattoo in San Diego. Take a photo of your bali in the position you would like it. Let her take the pic and tranform it into a tattoo format. Ask the price and when she tells you, do not bat an eye or try to haggle with her. Pay up front and tip her 25%. Insist that she tattoo you and not one of her workers. Tell her,Tattoo Roc, the guy who gave her, her Lady Death Tattoo machine sent you. Leave the the shop with the baddest tattoo you or your friends have ever seen! Just my advice, take it or leave it. Good luck with what ever choice you make.Miss Judy (click)

Ok.., took some quick ones Aram.., I'll send both you and Chrissy some more detailed shots and save some bandwidth on here.
This is the knife I was thinking of for your tattoo, and also the position (as I think you described it). Chrissy.., I'll send you a close-up of the company logo also, since you can't see any detail otherwise. This is the position of the tat as I understood you....(correct me if I'm wrong) Just another shot for kicks....(you guys have more in email).... __________________ Pete Johnston ~~> ExamonLyf@aol.com "There is no greater wisdom.., than [KINDNESS]" "Hunters seek what they [WANT].., Seekers hunt what they [NEED]" Last edited by ExamonLyf; 07-25-2004 at 04:12 PM. |

Hi Pete,
Beautiful Pictures as always Pete. Thanks for taking the time and helping, really appreciated. I hope i dont sound too demanding, but i'll try to be more clear. The handles, i want the handles of the newer 4X series. But the pins of the older customs that do not show. The latch, just a regular T Latch. The butterfly Logo, i think the ones on the new models look more cleaner, i compared them. But teh Blade i want it by Jody Samson. Pete, whenever you have time, do you think it would be possible to upload some more pictures of different blades jody has done? A regular deep grind weehawk, or something. The position of the bali, you got it on the 2nd picture. but just a little bit more open, half an inch between the handles. Not the V shape. Thank you very much. Oh by the way, i got my first custom from Duane, Korth Spearpoint, also got a 42SS, 3 FHM's or FMH's, but wont be able to see them until my mom sends them here(oh my boat). I hope customs dont confescate them on their way here. but i can't wait till i get home (long tiem from now) to see them, so i asked my mom to send them here in a package. arampapik isaakian@lha3.navy.mil |

I have never been to her shop. We hook up on the show circuit. Laconia NH bike week. Louisville KY old school convention. Chillicothe OH easy rider rodeo. Super lady, super artist. I have work from her. I recomended her as the best in your area. If you lived somewhere else I might have suggested someone else. Judy blows my work out of the water, but that ain't hard to do...lol, Roc sniff sniff...somebody call the waa-mbulance.

It's gonna take a few days for me to get a picture for you as a model, because I rarely take "Head-On" squared up shots looking directly at the subject. I'll find a nice skeletonized Weehawk and just try to get a nice sterile shot of it. You want the point of the blade going up?? Is that correct (i.e., point toward the sky when you are standing)?? I also assume you want the blade centered on your upper arm, and not at an angle. Given your preference for the newer handles. I'd suggest using the BM 42SS handles as a working model for the artist, and just leave out the pivot pins..., and use the picture for adding the T-Latch. To be honest, I don't think it's going to make much difference since it's human skin they'll be working on , so I doubt the subtleties of the countersinking are going to be apparent in this type art, but of course that's your call. I'm also assuming you want a 4" Model and not a 5". I just put a 5" up to my arm with the handles extended as you mention, and it barely fits on my upper arm above the elbow (and I'm just a hair under 6'2"). So give that some thought also, or hold a BM 4XX model up to your arm to see how the scaling works. 5" models are roughly 11.25 OAL (a hair less most times). ~~> So you need a lot of arm length for the longer model.

Pete,
Thats alright, take your time for the pictures, no rush. and for the blade, yep i want it point up, towards teh sky. As for the size, man, im a little guy. about 5'2. The 42 in the open position doesn't even fit there, lol. i was actually thinking for the size to be maybe 6 inches in total. the 42SS handles, thats a great idea actually. I want it. ) and again, as always thank you very much for your help. aram |

Here's the unofficial logo (A collabration between me and my tattoo artist) of the Lazer-Bat-Blade Balisong Company that Pete and I hope to start one day. Still waiting for a certain sushi lover to finish my bali commission to decide if I want that design on my skin. __________________ Tony Balisongs. One of life's simpler pleasures.
