Tattoos

[Inferno]

A year ago I finished a 6-month-and-24-hours-of-pain-in-the-ribs-tattoo. It was my first. But now that I've tasted this... I want MORE ! I plan on doing all my left arm, starting with something that represents my grandfather. But I'm running low on ideas, so I gotta think deep and find something really cool that I won't regret in 5 years.

I think girls with tattoos are really sexy (see attachment), as long as it's not filled so much we can't even see what it is.

What's your opinion on this ? Do you have some ? If yes pics could be interesting !

It really depends on the girl! I usually hate it when girls get sleeves, or any arm tattoos, but when I went into Starbucks this girl had one and it was so amazingly hot on her!

I want to get a tattoo on my upper back - just a small text tattoo. I like text tattoos.

I hate most tattoos but it completely depends on the person that is wearing them.

I have one, but I wont be posting the picture because the guy who did it screwed it up. I did love the process of it though, it felt great! Very addictive. My next tattoo project will be getting a pretty lotus blossom to cover the mess this guy made on my chest... and that sounds dirty, doesn't it?

Anyway, I plan to get more eventually, but my rule is that everything needs to be covered by everyday wear. I don't want to hurt my chances getting a job. My FH has a bunch of neat ones, so I'll post one of those.

Mad Hatter blotter art... he plans to get it colored soon. The guy who did the work was excellent.

If you can't think of something that you absolutely want to get as a tattoo, then you probably shouldn't get something just to get something.

I think they can be sexy on the right person, if done right, but I don't plan on ever getting any. I'm the kind of person who would get a pic of something I really like at the time, then feel silly about it five or ten years down the line.

I must say, some people I've seen get tattoos of, say, the Triforce from Legend of Zelda, I really have to feel that's not a good idea.

[Raistlin]

I don't really care about small tattoos, but massive or large amounts of tattoos are a major turnoff for me.

[eestlinc]

at least the triforce recurs over an entire series, which is better than stuff like griever tattoos.

Ahem! Now who would you be talking about? And why isn't it a good idea?

[TheAbominatrix]

If you've been into something for a while, it's something you're passionate about, why not? Bad idea to get something that's just a fad, but to use the Triforce example many of us have been playing those games since childhood, and I don't see regretting something like that.

Then again, any slight idea of possible regret should bar anyone from tattoos, unless you get them with that new fangled 'fades in a few years' ink.

If you can't think of something that you absolutely want to get as a tattoo, then you probably shouldn't get something just to get something.

Totally agree, it took me at least 2 years to finally make a decision.

Many people say, "When you'll be 60 years old your skin will be falling down, the color will have faded and you'll regret it" .... I say if I'm happy for 25 years with my tattoo, it's worth it.

Totally agree

Meh. I don't. I have an octopus and a starfish on my left arm and I'm gonna fill that up with a sleeve of a bunch of other undersea creepy crawlies. I don't think tattoos need to be all meaningful and uber personal and all "OMGZZZZZZZ THIS REPRESENTS MY LYYYYYF." I get pictures of things that I like. Though my other two tattoos have meaning to them I guess.

Incidentally I think that lady in your first post is smokin' (for a lady anyway) and has some bitchin tattoos. Men with full body tattoos make me weak in the knees. Or just men with tattoos in general. Logan McCree (don't google that minors!) is pretty much the hottest man alive imo. HE HAS HEAD TATTOOS! FACE TATTOOS.

Here's the work I've had done so far (most in various stages of completion / etc. etc. I haven't gone in for touch ups on any of them yet.):

(SPOILER)

HEE HEE IM SO PALE AND SCRAWNY. It's like the game GUESS IF THAT IS A WRIST ARM OR ANKLE. (hint: none of them are ankles).

Yes that script is a reference to this song if anyone is wondering. Yes, yes I love this song/Utada this much.

oh man! tattoos are supposed to be fun, i hate when people are so serious about them. you only have one body, make it count. for the record most of my work is just for the sake of fun. these are the best pics i have.

best pics i got of the chest and sleeve in progress. It is apparent that i like the sailor jerry art... Can't really see my other pieces but it's all good, you get the idea.

Yeah OP, the girl in that image is hot even without inkwork so it doesn't make much difference whether she has ink or not. Ink work is something that will rarely detract from someone's base beauty factor though opinion on inkwork will affect whether someone looks at the person and thinks "wow they're hot I wanna hit that" or "wow they're pretty but inkwork isn't my kind of thing and therefore I'd rather not" thats all really.

I have to admit I like inkwork on people I'm always curious to see what people have on their body. I also like women with tasteful inkwork. I don't have any inkwork on my body yet, I've seen several designs I like but I personally have never had the cash to get them done and when I have I've felt that there are more pressing demands on me for that cash. My ex had inkwork she focussed on small tattoos at first one on each hip bone, a black widow spider on her left and a heart in a spiders web on her right. She also made the one mistake I think any one person can ever make with inkwork... she tattooed my name on her inner thigh, the design was pretty but obviously when things broke down between us she had to get that covered over thankfully for her the guy who done the cover job was a truly great artist he basically started free-drawing on her thigh and done the design from there. I was obviously unhappy we had broken up but to be perfectly honest I would've been happier if she'd gotten the design the guy done on her thigh to cover up my name from the outset rather than my name. It is never an idea to have a lovers name on your body, way too many relationships end prematurely for that.

I like some things on some people. I wouldn't get one or want my husband to get one. I have a friend who has a ton of tattoos, all of which are awesome and I think they look great on her. I have another friend with like four and they're all stupid and ugly. And yet a couple more who have a few nice ones that suit them. I especially like "classic" tattoos (especially of the Asian variety, like in the pic in the first post) and gamer geek tattoos. *shrug*

[...]unless you get them with that new fangled 'fades in a few years' ink.

That exists?! Why don't you ever tell me these things??
