tattoo

Daniel · 20-05-2004, 01:01 PM

well this is an odd one, but I'm going back home for about a week, and I want to get a tattoo done. Not too big, something that will cover a portion of the shoulder, maybe half, you know, discreet.

I'm really going towards the tribal designs, if anyone has any ideas, I can't seem to find the perfect thing. I'm thinking of printing a few of em and taking them to the parlor to tell the guy what I want.

lol it's just something small on the shoulder man, it's not like it'll be somewhere where everyone can see it.

few ideas, leaning towards small dragon or the top 2 right corner ones

I have to agree with Downup, dont do it

Have you tried the non-permainent ones?

I would at least get the one you want done in non-perm first and see if you still like it after a week or so.

Theres a quote of Andy Warhol (that I cant remember), but the basic jist of it was that people get tattoos to be "different and special". The only problem is that there will come a point where so many people have tattoos, that its actually the people without tattoos that become the "different and special" ones.

IMHO, That day is here already.

Be a rebel!
Be different!
Dont have a tattoo

That dragon in the top left should be on the upper arm I think.

If you really want a tattoo, get one. Its your choice ultimately. It will be painful tho.

There are some ppl who like getting tattoos, I think some of 'em like the pain which comes with it too... 1 or 2 tattoos are alright imo, but don't go overboard.

I'm thinking of getting a tattoo too. On the back of my head. And one of the Union Jack & a dragon on my arm.

A friend of mine got a pretty big tatoo on his back wich said : Johan (heart) Sarah... It was his girlfriend at the time.. unfortunatly she broke up a month later. He still hasn't removed it I think... Don't think it's the winning trick if you get a girl who's name is something else then Sarah to have a tatoo like that... My point is ofcourse that you might change your mind when it's too late.... That's up to you, but give it alot of thought first

hehe, well thanks for the all the input I appreciate it. But it's not a whim or anything, I've been thinking about it for over a year. I won't go overboard of course, it's will be not too big, with a t-shirt it won't show, just on upper shoulder.

A few people in my family have had them for years, they haven't regretted em so far, the keyword is tasteful and discreet

MDX · 21-05-2004, 06:16 AM

You could always get a pair of breasts tattooed on your back... hah

Getting one's gf's name as a tattoo is a bad idea, so I was told. Or something like that.

NoJo · 21-05-2004, 09:18 AM

Daniel : well, if you thought about it that long and you still think you wan't to do it, then go ahead

Post a pic of it when it's done

MDX : Yeah... so I told him.. he obviously didn't listen

now he has him self to blame

Downup · 21-05-2004, 09:34 AM

MDX · 21-05-2004, 08:02 PM

NoJo, maybe you should of got a woman to tell him. It worked for me... heh.

Oh yeah, just for the record, I haven't got a tattoo yet... not enought cash, and not sure what I want it to look like exactly either... I hear its painful.. specially if its on the head cuz its closer to the bone or something... heh
