I love tatoo's I'm planning on getting my entire body covered hopefully before i die, ever since i was little i always wanted to get one. It also helped cuase my mom is a tatoo artist so i get mine cheaper than most places for often better quality :twisted:

That makes 3 tigers! rwarrr!

I don't have any tats. Many times I thought about it, but I couldn't decide what I wanted and then I thought: If I can't decide, I'd better not do it.

Now I'm thinking doing the sign of the planet Saturn but I know that I will not do it. I'm too old to start.

Branding... that's something I want to do. But only when I find my mate. I'm thinking... after the wedding... have a symbol that he chose branded with hot metal on my butt, without anesthetic, of course.

Wicked, I want a black star in the same place. It's going to be my first tattoo and I want to get it on March 23, 2007 :D ..heh, two and a half years from today.

I think I've designed my next tat. My wife however thinks I'm crazy, cuz she doesn't want to look at it. Background I've got a griffin leaping acrosst my back, and originally it was going to attack a dragon - pretty typical scenery. however as I've been fighting with the computers at my office, I've come up with the griffin attacking a computer - sparks out the top with fire, and the computer sitting in a pool of dripping blood.

For my eighteenth birthday (in 25 days!) the embalmer at the mortuary where I live is taking me to Paia to get my first tattoo. I've had it in mind for three years now... I'm getting the Chinese symbol for 'tiger' on my ankle. I have had a passion for tigers my whole life, and I was born in '86, year of the tiger. I didn't want a picture of a tiger, because they always look so dumb on tattoos. The Chinese character is really simplistic but beautiful. I can't wait!

I just got my first Tattoo a couple of months ago. The $$$ was the first thing that I waited this long, the second thing was the design I wanted for LIFE!

I ended up get a Skull & Crossed Wrenches (I'm an Ex-Mechanic) on my bi-cep. I'm planning on another soon, a half-rotten rat (my nic) on my other bi-cep.

Did you do it?

I kind of want one on my wrist. But I want a word that means a lot to me on there, so I want it in a different language. Preferably Russian. It's just something to think about.

No! Well, not yet. Still definitely going to do it though.

yes, if you get a tattoo in another language, please fully understand the language and the meaning. White people getting some random asian character thrown on their body simply for the sake of having an exotic piece of script on their body(and believe me, I`ve seen many) is pretty much like some non-english speaker getting some dumb broken english phrase tattooed on their back.

As far as tattoos go, I`ve only got one..... Death riding a horse on my chest.
Always a reminder of our mortality.....

I`ve also always thought the idea of two Baphomet goat heads put into a yin-yang formation would make a nice tattoo

FenrisQueen 11-21-2004 07:50 PM

When I get a tattoo, and I am definitely getting one, I want to be the one to design it, and I want it to be my ideal tattoo, done by someone whom I know has a lot of talent. That, or I get drunk enough to tattoo semper fidelis on my butt. Either or.

TeapotScar 01-15-2005 01:14 AM

Woowhoo! I got a tattoo- it hurt like a whore. So bad. Soooo painful. But I like it- and it means something to me. :D

FenrisQueen 01-15-2005 09:16 AM

What is it of?

TeapotScar 01-15-2005 01:01 PM

It says "State of emergency" in French, in this nice handwriting on my back.

I got a tattoo last week and its healing nicely. I am planning on getting another one for my birthday (Feb. 3rd) that says "CJ" ....only prob is that I am having trouble finding a nice font. :( Soo many choices....so little time.

winged_dreams 01-17-2005 10:14 PM

I want a couple of tattoos. I want a tattoo of some artwork by H. R. Giger. I also want a band symbol (The Alice in Chains' sun) tattooed on me, perhaps on my right shoulder. I'm not too big on getting a whole bunch of tattooes. First off it costs money and secondly there aren't too many things that I want on my body for the rest of my life.

tekajo 01-17-2005 10:19 PM

i just remembered i have a fucking tattoo.
got it in '98, jailhouse style...toothpaste, smut from burned styrofoam...was the "artist" wanted to use..i made him buy some fucking "indian ink" (no clue what that really is)...the gun was comprised of a motor from my old cassette deck, either a sewing needle or a fucking guitar string (cant recall) was the "needle"...that damn thing ripped and tore through my calve muscle...such fun.

i just got the outline of this done.

Hi! I don't know if this is the right place to post but i recently posted about a tattoo i'm getting either this weekend or next. I'm thinking of having "CJ" tattooed on me in small letters but I am having some trouble finding a nice font or style of writing...If anyone of you very creative people could help me it would be very much appreciated.

I'd take a picture of my font, but I don't have a digital camera, and my room mate's asleep. I will eventually, but that has nothing to do with what I wanted to say.

You should just go to the place and ask them their opinion- often the guy doing tattoos that day has a font he "does" or whatever- I didn't have a font all picked out whe I went, and I'm really happy with what the guy came up with.

Binkie 01-18-2005 10:35 PM

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo that just says "tattoo"

I missed this the first time.

I have that tat on my chest. Actually, it's right above my heart on my collarbone. I love the feeling of a tat (but avoid the collarbone if you can't take pain very well) and want to get more.

WolfMoon 01-19-2005 09:03 AM

My next tattos will be for my children.

I have a serpentine on my right shoulder and I want to get a smaller baby dragon on each side of her.

Then I'm getting a duplicate of a tribal design that my husband has on his chest,in the same spot as his.

One day I'll get a piece on my lower back with a gothic fairy (own design) and spidery/wingy things branching out from either side.Then maybe a bat or something on my shoulders to hide some scars I've got there.

No offense anyone! But... this is just funny.

1. The "I wish I was Japanese" anime nerd:
Everyone knows someone like this. They refer to themselves as "otaku" and they embrace everything Japanese, not necessarily because it's something unique or interesting, but because it's Japanese. They wear clothing with Japanese or Chinese characters on it that translate to English phrases like "good will" or "long life." They wouldn't be able to get away with wearing a shirt that said "long life" in English because it would just look stupid, but as soon as it's translated into kanji it suddenly becomes cool and mysterious? Please.

WolfMoon 01-19-2005 09:46 AM

I'm sensing some animosity towards nerds here.

:P

Granny-like_the_apple 01-19-2005 09:56 AM

Hell yeah. Nerds, especially ones who take classes like "Number Theory", should be shot. Ha. Ha. I am, of course, serious.
