Tattoos?

[Giga Guess]

Kind of on a one track mind lately (See "Giga Guess' New Tat")

What are your opinions on them? Tacky? Overdone? Or masterpieces made flesh? Plans on getting any? Open discussion on this.

[RSL]

My opinions? I don't really like them. Small tatoos in not very obvious areas are okay, I suppose. I don't think that a whole bunch of them or really big ones look that good. As for myself, I will never have one. Never had any interest in getting one.

I don't mind them. I always wanted to get a third eye tatooed on my forehead.

I like Tattoo's. My Pop (Grampa) has alot of 'em from Vietnam and he doesnt regret getting a single one....I think he does on some but he wont say it. I really dont like the Tribal, Kanji(SP?), or anything really colorful. I was gonna get one on my B-day a week ago but im still gonna think about what I want my first one to be. I dont really care about the whole...I might be a different person 5 years from now and these tats will be meaningless... Although im not that old to tell if I will be that way or not.

I've never liked tattoos. I just don't see the point in paying lots of money to get a permanent piece of art drawn onto your skin, that most of the time don't look very good.

I'm not a big fan of them. One small tattoo I can handle but anything more then one and larger then small I'll go insain. My girlfriend wants to get a tattoo when she's seventeen or eighteen. I laugh at her, smile, and say: "You think ya do, huh?" Then she pokes me in the side laughs and asks me what in the most inocent voice you've ever heard.

*sighs* Women and tattoos. . . .

I agree. We should leave our bodies the way they are, unless you have some fatal disorder. There's also a risk of getting HIV/AIDS. If I wanted to see or show off a work of art done by someone else to my friends 24/7, then I'd ask a professional to paint or draw something on a piece of paper, then tape it to my body.

I think they're very tacky. I don't hold it against people who have tattoos, but I personally really don't like them.

BJ brings it up occasionally that he wants one. At first I was just kind of like "Well, if that's what you want..." because I know I can't really tell him what to do, but I can't stand the thought of it. I just plain tell him, "I love you, and I know I can't controll you, but I absolutely forbid it. FORBID!"

[SomethingBig]

Yeesh, that looks damn painful, metro.

I don't like tattoos. But then I already said so in the other thread.

[eestlinc]

for some people it works well.

I've seen some great looking tattoos over the past few years, and I'd probably like to have one done myself. However, there's a few things that are stopping me; namely my parents (who would disapprove) and my conscience. I'd enjoy the tattoo for the first few weeks, and then I'd get tired of it and want to change it. And, of course, that would cost a lot of money!

I'm the type of person who becomes tired of things in only a short amount of time, so investing in a permanent tattoo wouldn't be my style. Having said all that, I have my eye on one at the moment...

I had a post kinda like this in the arts forum. Ive decided to get a tat of the "J" logo (Jecht FFX//My avatar ) Its gonna be small, about the size of a 50cent piece, maybe a wee bit bigger. Im going to get it carved into my shoulder, hidden away so it doesnt effect any future job oppertunities.
I dont think Ill regret it later on, even if I move on from FF, Its still a cool lookin design :rolleyes2

[Rusty]

I love tattoos, I reckon they look awesome. So long as you only get a couple at the max, otherwise it looks tacky.

I do want to get a tattoo, of a butterfly with a design around it on my back when I'm 18 or 19. But if I do or not, thats another thing...

[Mikztsu]

I have two tattoos and I like them. To me they have to have some meaning other than it just looks nice.

I probably wont take anymore tattoos though, and if I will they will be 'invisible' places as I wouldn't like to have too many of them.
