it is basically a sticker. i took my design to a printscreen shop in digital media and told them what size i wanted. three days later they called me and it was done. $40 US dollars. it was simple to apply. i cleaned the area, pealed the back off the sticker and put it on. started in a corner and worked my way out to have no air bubbles. if you can find or design something and put it in digital just about any screenprint shop shoudl be able to print it up in whatever size you want. i choose the shark because that is what i have tattooed on my back.

oh and no it was not my design. i found it on the internet somewhere.


Ive been looking at it on several occasion .. and I just had to ask ..I think its real unique... and it looks just great on your tear..Sorry I didnt mean
to hijack your thread.. my apologies...

Im definitely going to have a Moose or somthing put on.. Wonder how it will hold up in winter ... :thinking: :thinking: Will it start to peel ?

Thank You kindly for your reply.

Best regards Heikki ;)

Man--those all sound way too funky for me. That's all you can find?

I say all white--and accent the color another way.

PEPSI BLUE???

Eeeeech.

mine is holding up very well. in a business i owned we had several signs made this way and stayed out in all types of weather. if you look around you will probably see many business with signs made out of adhesive stickers. they hold up through everything. as long as you find a reputable company, who uses high quality adhesive base and high quality inks. it should last for several years. basically it is a large sheet of white sticker and they print on it just like you woudl print a photo on a piece of paper. depending on the job they may use another color base sticker and print on that. but the possibilities are endless. you could print a photo and stick it on if you wanted.

I would have to agree with Madjack about the red sides, especially if you want to continue with the graphics that you are now using the red & black.
Just make sure the reds go together. I think yellow on side with your big decal on the back would clash or take away from it. IMHO anyway.

Somewhere on the forum someone posted a spot to make paper teardrops, I created some of those with different colors to get ideas, as I'm more visual than conceptual myself.
