Hey guys. I wanted to ask all of you a favor. I have been wanting to get a speedcubing tattoo for a few years now, because of how long I've been cubing and how much I love it. I finally have the money to get it and I know where I am going to get it (my lower right calf, probably close to my ankle), however, I do not have an idea of exactly what to get.
So, I wanted to get some help from you guys, if you'd like to participate. I would like to open this up to anyone who has a puzzle that they absolutely love (pictures please ). Even if you don't want me to use it as a tattoo consideration, I love to see people's thoughts on their favorite puzzles and stories behind them and such.
For me, I would like to get a 3x3. Now, I don't know how I want it (black, stickerless, scrambled, solved, pattern, etc.) I just know that 3x3 really encompasses everything that I love about cubing. I've been solving for 8 years now and while I love almost every shape mod and alternate-style puzzle out there, nothing quite rings a bell like the 3x3. On that note, I may even be open to getting an algorithm, if it's not super long or just a general scramble or something. But, most likely, I will get a 3x3 of some sort.
So, I would like to hear all of your guy's ideas and see your pictures and hear your stories. And, to make it interesting, if by chance I choose the design of someone who posted on here, I will give that person a $50 gift card to Thecubicle.us (more as a thank you than a contest really). Just keep in mind, if you post it on here, there is a chance that I might use it.
You may ask why I bring this up to you all and my reason is that, while I love art and I have multiple tattoos already, I am horrible at design. I know what I want but I don't really know exactly until I can see a picture or a drawing of it. So, when I decided that I wanted a Rubik's Cube tattoo, my first option was to go to Google Images and search cubes. Now, if you have ever done this, you'll know that the cubes on there are THE most generic cube pictures that you can find. When I got my tattoo of the Doctor Who TARDIS, I googled 'Tardis' and the exact picture that I wanted was like, the third one down. The speedcubing community is small in comparison with many other hobbies, which means that the only people that know the difference between a picture of a Rubik's brand cube and a Valk 3 M, for example, is this community right here. This is why I ask this favor of you.
And, of course, once I get my tattoo, I will post it on here, just in case any of you guys wanted to see how it turned out. So, if you want, send me your pictures of your favorite cubes, your mains, your favorite patterns or scrambles, anything that you want really. I'm open to all of it. Thank you all!
