Let\'s talk about tattoos.
Who here has them? What kind of? Where? When did you get it? How much did it hurt? Any regrets? Ever get tired/bored of it? Are you planning to get more?
And anything else you\'d like to share...
Because I am becoming more & more interested in getting one.
-
Don\'t think about them too much...
-
My wife has a tiny flower on her ankle.
It really depends on what you want to be in life. I actually like them, but I would probably only do it to my ankle, or an area that doesn\'t get noticed unless I am being casual. No matter how smart you are, you look like an idiot when you are all tattooed up and pierced. Kind of like people with a southern accent. I always assume they are stupid. Problem is 90% of the time I\'d be right.:thepimp:
-
i have one, only wanted one
i have a 6" sun on my right shoulder. ive had it almost 10 years, so i forget its there, untill i take my shirt off and someone says "you have a tatoo! i didnt know that", then it becomes cool again
:)
-
i plan on getting a tattoo when im 18, something small, but still nice and badass ;) most likely on my left shoulder blade or something..
something like this is something like i would want..
another direction for the thread maybe, if you have pictures of tattoo\'s that you think some people might like to get (ie. me) it would be cool to post it... if the Lady doesnt mind me asking people to do that :D (not that i think people will) cos im still shopping around for types
-
I think it\'s a good idea for people to post pictures of the tattoos they\'d want.
That one Bob posted is pretty cool, but I wouldn\'t take anything like that :) I was thinking of getting a Japanese \'Kanji\' character, that means something important to me, like "Aiki" (harmony of ki, or something like that) because I try to live according to the ideals of Aikido, or "Zanshin" which means an alert mind (or something) because that\'s how I want to be. It has to be beautiful, and have a meaning.
I will take the tattoo somewhere I can hide it easily. I only want people to see it when I let them. I was thinking lower back.
And that way I won\'t see it when I don\'t want to either :) Kinda like mm. I will not get tired of it that easily :)
-
If I would get a tattoo I wouldn\'t get a small wussy tattoo. I would want a huge one that would cover my entire arm. Skulls and evil stuff on it. The problem is that they are expensive.
-
No doubt, would I choose a Dragon. I love this mysterious fantasy characters :) I have everything from figures, posters etc..... a tattoo would not be a bad idea indeed.
This is the posters i have currently:

I have 2 more, but could not find picture of em :(
Whoopss.. I guess this has nothing to do with tattoos :(

heh, i\'d love to get something cool like that, but a wussy tattoo for me...come on, im sure you\'ve seen me...im a frickin\' pretty boy :D t\'would ruin my image :)
same with mythical characters
a Sephiroth tat would be bad...ass :D actually thats a good idea...i might look into it..
-

hehehe, you weren\'t here a couple weeks ago when we were all *****ing about accents.
-
Well, I\'m not one for self mutilation, but If I were I\'d probably get some sort of a Castlevania SoTN tattoo. Maybe of Death standing in the caverns or something. er..I always thought that getting a Primus Skeeter tattoo would be pretty cool also.
I\'m joining the military sometime this year so maybe I should get something like the fighting hellfish shoulder tattoo...;)
-
I have a few.Arm,chest,back.If I could figure out how to save a picture from a webcam I will show them.As far as the pain goes..well I kind of like that part.
-
Heh I don\'t know about tattoos, but I\'m busy right now growing my hair so I can braid it.

-
All I have is a triad of dots between my thumb and index finger on my right hand. Got em back when we used to make our own tattoo guns. I couldda had a steelie face on my ankle, but if this shyt is permenant.. then I\'m gonna have a pro do it.
I don\'t want too many, just a Praying Hands of Jesus on my left chest, A tribal braid around my right arm, and something cool like the 40oz to Freedom Sun between my shoulder blades.
-
Lizard, about 4 inches by 1.5 inches on right bicep - yes, I do realize it\'s an odd place. A short-sleeve polo conceals it completely. It\'s been there for about 2 years, took a little less than an hour. $80 Hurt like a hundred paper cuts for the first 5 minutes, then the pain fades. The healing process is a pain - you have to take care of your new tattoo, but at the same time not baby it too much...if that makes any sense.
-
I had a skull and cross bones on my right arm, right above the wrist. I got wasted one night \'really wasted\' and me and some friends decided to go get tattoos. And the tattoo guy gave it to me even while I was drunk. This is supposed to be a NO-NO.
Anyways haven awoken the next day and realized what I had done I had it removed about a month and a half later. Now I have a very unnoticible scar, you can\'t even tell I had a tattoo there.
-
Susan....... my better half has a butterfly tattoo
its VERY NICE :D
-
im trying to convince my lady to get my name tattooed on her butt.
shes not too keen on the idea but i can be very persistent when i want to.
-
Just threaten no sex until she gets a tatoo. Might work :)
-
i dont care about it that much. that would be torture on us both.
we have needs you know.
-
i have a black work dragon on my right shoulder, and i\'ll probably be getting another dragon this summer, then when i hit the force this next year i\'ll probably get some kind of police thing on my other arm. as for the pain, they don\'t hurt at all, mine took three hours, and i fell asleep under the needle twice, it\'s acctually very soothing.
-
My wife got a Tatoo last year on her forearm of a Moon with some clouds passing over. Its pretty cool
I always wanted to design my own, but its not that important to me to actually do it
-
I\'m surprised & glad to see that so many have tattoos. And since no one says they\'ve regretted it.... (except one but that doesn\'t count :)) Well, this small lady\'s gonna start looking for a decent shop & artist :)
I\'ll post a picture of it when it has healed, in case someone wants to see it ^_^

Yeah, that is about the only time I remember that I have one. I got a 5 inch long cross on my arm. No it\'s not in an area that everyone can see, only when I have my shirt off.
If you get a \'too, get one with color, they look the best in my opinion.:thepimp:
-
I like tatoos, but I love tribals, you know. I\'ve a collection of about 2,000 tribal pics in my pc. I want do myself any of those... but not for now, later ;)
-
i have thought about it but i just havent done it
my friend is a tattoo artist so i could get a great deal on it but its just a matter of doing it
but yea about the pain - it depends on where you get it the two most panful from what i have heard are the sides of your back - like where you have love handles and then also the back of your knees
heres something i would consider

but not so large and get it on my chest right where my heart is
-
A very nice tribal Sublimesjg... but it\'s so large from my point of view...
-
I\'ve got a tribal design that goes around my wrist and part the way up my arm. Took me about six hours to get it done, didn\'t hurt that bad either...
I eventually plan on gettin\' my whole back tattoo\'ed and my ankles.
-
I have a hung monkey on one arm (don\'t ask!!) and Homer SImpson on the other.
I got the Homer done about 5 years ago for a laugh and am getting it covered over soon.
Aswell as getting this covered over I plan on getting another on my back sometime in the next 6 months.
-
I\'ve got two Jailhouse tats I did when I was 15 with a needle some thread and india ink.
need to get them covered thinking about getting this:
oops edit*
It\'s My Scottish clan coat of arms. The words mean "My race is royal"
-
I want one of Marcus Camby\'s mighty mouse cuz I love that one and the one that fastson\'s icon is...I saw one of those in my trip to turkey all i know is it means rebel of some sort if fastson reads this can you PM me explaining more about the rebel and signifgance...or if anyone knows for that matter
-
Yeah he was a Cuban Revolutionary. Commie, I think. "che" guevarra. Why don\'y you just get The sickle & hammer?
-
I never really liked the idea of a tatoo. Of course when I was younger I\'d buy the fake tatoos because, well they were badass... but I know when I\'m old and wrinkly I\'m not going to want a dragon on my butt... :confused: or something along those lines. So... no tatoo for me
-
I am glad you dug up this thread, because now I have done it, I have got a tattoo. :)
I had it done on Friday... And it did hurt a lot, but nothing I couldn\'t handle, didn\'t scream, didn\'t cry. ;)
I said I\'d post a pic... But now I\'m pretty paranoid, what if someone decides to have a similar one made :) It\'s on my lower back, people won\'t see it unless I want them to. I\'ve had no problems whatsoever so far, it doesn\'t even itch. No regrets! :)
Oh right, I chose the two kanji (japanese writing) for "budo", martial way.
-
Congrats, smallLady!
-
Woohoo, way to go Lady! :D

No offense, but I gurantee plenty other people have it done for the simple fact kanji is the latest tattoo craze. I\'ve seen southern rednecks who have no clue what kanji even is, but like the "symbols" and have them tattoo\'ed on their neck and back,etc...My point? Go ahead and post a picture, don\'t worry about someone copying it. There is the general idea in the body modification community, that there is nothing that hasn\'t been done before. As long as the tattoo means something to you personally, it doesn\'t matter if someone clones it or not.
;)
With that said...If you are seriously interested in body modification, I have a URL that you would enjoy, its the largest and most dedicated site to all forms of body modification. I can\'t post it on the board due to the fact it also has pictures and covers more exreme body modifications (gential piercings, tattoo\'s,etc). Some things that may be considered pornographic. If you want the URL, just let me know.
To give you an idea on how wide range the body modifcation is and how much is covered, here is a picture from the web-site.

LIC, I know what you mean, before I got tattooed I read someone\'s opinion that taking kanji is stupid, because it\'s "in" or whatever, and so many people do it.
But I decided that I would do it anyway, because no matter how many people abuse them, kanji is what is most "me". It tells the world (or doesn\'t, since it\'s pretty much hidden :)) about my love for Japanese culture. And since I cannot and do not want to change that, I chose kanji.
Also, I actually know what my kanji mean, when those who just do it cause it\'s "cool" may not :) And they have a huge meaning to me. Budo is how I want to live my life. :) There\'s other symbolism too... Martial path is painful, and lasts forever. :)
And you are probably right. I should post a pic, incase someone\'s actually interested... I mean... I probably am not the first with a budo tattoo :)
But right now I think I\'ll stick with this one I have. :)
-
I am thinkin about getting a tattoo of the Texas University longhorn on my back right shoulder. About 6" wide. I think it would look badass.
-
Hahaa, I\'m the only one who\'s seen \'Lady\'s tattoo so far! And I\'m probably among very few people here who\'ll ever see it live :p
