Tatoos?

Raistin · Post by **Raistin** » February 25, 2006, 9:00 pm

Been wondering who all has a tatoo. It seems more of a "in" thing now adays , with the lower back ankle ones.

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » February 25, 2006, 9:06 pm

Got a couple... however, I am an advocate for whores and crackdealers, so...

Lower back tats on chicks is total valley-porn, but sometimes it looks good. I dated this one gal that had a nice valley-porn tat of some seaturtles that was very well done and NOT SO BIG! I have been thinking of getting a little work done, but I need to sit down and do some sketches first.

Have 5, plans on getting more.

Leonaerd · Post by **Leonaerd** » February 25, 2006, 9:09 pm

The lower back tattoos are just begging for doggy love. I can't complain much.

Zaelath · Post by **Zaelath** » February 25, 2006, 9:28 pm

I hate tramp stamps, and all other "fashionable" tattoos. Like getting the ideogram for "western idiot" tattooed on yourself.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » February 25, 2006, 9:29 pm

None here but I don't care what others do to their bodies as long as it doesn't cost me tax money due to more medical issues!

Aabidano · Post by **Aabidano** » February 25, 2006, 9:46 pm

I've got a few, most are 15-25 years old. Don't care what others do as long I get to laugh at them. Tribal tattoos, japanese lettering, etc.. are good for a giggle on anglos.

I heard someone compare those lower back tattoos to putting a bumper sticker on a Rolls Royce. Think of when they sag a few inches after 30 years or so as well.. /shudder

I'm thinking about getting one, I'm the 4th like full name IV

so I'm thinking about getting the roman numeral "IV" tatood in the center of my back

it would be a tatoo with a purpose or meaning behind it instead of like something stupid like a tribal armband or a fuckin butterfly.

Zaelath · Post by **Zaelath** » February 25, 2006, 9:57 pm

They all have a purpose, mostly "I hate my daddy" or "I'm insecure and looking for a way to make myself more interesting". Of course, no one here has a tatt for either of those reasons

Sueven · Post by **Sueven** » February 25, 2006, 10:06 pm

I don't have any, but I don't have any issues with them. I think people who make snarky comments and peer down the end of their nose at people who have tattoos are far, far, far more obnoxious than the tattoo'd folks themselves.

I've thought of a few designs but nothing that I like enough to go through with. My favorite ideas were two ravens on different sides of my chest and ivy growing up my spine. I love facial and neck tattoo's, but those would be a poor decision given the current business attitude toward body art.

If it was more acceptable, I would definitely think about getting a full-body design of some sort.

I've also always dreamed of convincing someone to tattoo their entire nose black. That would be hilarious.

I'm working on a few designs for you Sueven!

might not work well as a tattoo:

Boogahz · Post by **Boogahz** » February 25, 2006, 11:11 pm

designed my own tats. I don't think I could ever bring myself to get some wall flash shite like you see on most people that only have a couple.

Shanter · Post by **Shanter** » February 26, 2006, 1:15 am

Tatoo's such as tribal or japanese lettering are terrible, what a way to ruin your body with such garbage.

I'm fine with people who get a tatoo due to an event in their life or if it's expressing yourself as a person, but anything other than that is trailer trash.

Thess · Post by **Thess** » February 26, 2006, 1:48 am

I find all tattoos to be awful and would never get one.

Yeah, kinda a shame someone else gets to see mine more than I do.

I've wanted a tattoo since I was in my 20's, I waited a hell of a long time to finally get one. Do I regret it? No, in fact I have been thinking about how to add to it.

EDIT: Oh Cane, don't you have a Bronco's tat?

Canelek · Post by **Canelek** » February 26, 2006, 4:04 am

Drunken night in 98...yeah, I remember that. Never regretted it whatsoever.

Will blend it in with new work, somewhat, so I do not look like a billboard in Denver.

Ebumar · Post by **Ebumar** » February 26, 2006, 4:21 am

I have one. My family crest. It's in the middle of my back towards the top.

redeemed · Post by **redeemed** » February 26, 2006, 5:33 am

I have 2, one on my upper back that is pretty elaborate but full of significance (a crescent moon since my name, Leila, means "night" in arabic, the symbol for virgo in the middle of the crescent, and these twisty thorny vines coming out on either side that are symbolic of the crown of thorns, oh and I have a scripture tattooed underneath all that from corinthians 8:13 - "love never fails" -- yes I believe that, and I could write a lot about it but it's just my perspective) it looks better than it sounds and I got it when I was 20 .. the one below here is my first tat, got it at 17 since I swear my bellybutton looks just like the little body of a butterfly

and I cut my face and my sister out to protect my sekrit identity! hah

you can't see the detail but it's the only pic I have on my comp so too bad! >)

Post by **Sylvus** » February 26, 2006, 6:03 am

I'd totally throw one in you. Provided you haven't birthed a litter in the years since that picture was taken. Why'd you cut the head off, is your grill messed up or something? I apologize if that sounds rude, but I'm an Adonis and I need to know these things.

Tegellan · Post by **Tegellan** » February 26, 2006, 7:18 am

Have one on my right shoulder drawn by a friend of mine.

I am all for tattoos as long as people don't overdo it. They can look very nice, but then again too much or faded ones look horrible.

I'm into shooting loads on butterfly tattoos.

Fairweather Pure · Post by **Fairweather Pure** » February 26, 2006, 12:08 pm

I don't have any, but I gotta tell ya that I love the perspective of "Everyone else's tatoos are stupid, white trash, insignificant, unoriginal, ect......excpte mine, which are cool and meaningful". Get over yourself. It's a tatoo. Having one does not make you some sort of unique individual, no matter how many times you tell yourself it does. Everyone and thier mother has one. Accept it.

If I did get one, I'd get a shoulder to shoulder on my back and shoulder to bicep mini sleeves on both arms. That way, I could wear a t-shirt and no one would know I have a tatoo. I don't make a habit of walking around with my shirt off since I'm pasty white. I don't know what designs I would get, but no skulls, death, or such would make the list.

I have one. In retrospect I probably wouldn't get it, but I don't regret it.

Its a good thing tattoos aren't about what other people think. If you get one and its something you like then to hell with everyone else.

Sueven · Post by **Sueven** » February 26, 2006, 5:03 pm

I like that particular butterfly. I like tattoos that incorporate pre-existing features of the body.

If I was a female, I would absolutely get a sun tattoo'd on one of my breasts, with the nipple as the center. I would probably do that as a male if I didn't have a hairy chest. But I do.

Trek · Post by **Trek** » February 26, 2006, 5:44 pm

Growing up I wanted a tattoo, but I noticed just about everyone had one so I deceided to go with the no tats/piercings gig.....think im the only person I know without at least one

Midnyte_Ragebringer · February 26, 2006, 9:24 pm

I only have a little blue devil smoking a cigar and holding a rifle. It's awful and I wish I never got it. I did it because my wife, girlfriend at the time, wanted me to get one with her and I thought I needed to be "cool".

It's not that I regret gettign one, it's that I regret getting that particular one. I wish I would have gotten something that more represents me, but at 20 years odl, I had no idea at all what I was.

Zaelath · Post by **Zaelath** » February 26, 2006, 9:42 pm

It's funny though, cause the book of the bible that supports homo bashing, and most of the hard-line christian fundamentals, makes tattoos a sin.

It's against jewish law to get a tatt because of that part of Leviticus, which makes the growing number of jewish people that get tattoos to show jewish pride rather comical. Like Rich Voss; jewish, comedian, tattoo enthusiast, tool.

Only orthodox jews follow the tenets of Leviticus. you might as well make fun of jews that don't grow their hair at their temples.

"Tat" sounds to me like a word to describe a clinically obese tit. "Banana nipple" comes to mind.

Well, yes and no. If non-orthodox rabbi will shun jewish men that marry gentiles, I'd be less than surprised if a good deal of them don't care for tattoos much. The holocaust didn't really improve their view of tattoos either.

There's an element of trolling on this thread, but that's just because I really hate tattoos...

In much the same way that the people that have tattoos don't care what I think about it, I don't care what they think of me either, so we're all happy!

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » February 27, 2006, 6:09 am

there are levels of orthodoxy in judaism. a non orhodox rabbi would still follow the torah, which forbids jews from marrying a gentile that doesn't convert first. there's nothing in the torah about tattoos and other crazy old testament crap.

Eh? Leviticus is one of only five books in the Torah:

Perhaps "tattoo" needs to be alongside "a lot" in the word filters. What the fuck is a tatoo?

I'll challenge you to a FN3 Tourney for the right to punch her guts.

The person on my right in my avatar has the contra code tattoo'd across his collar bones and on his back he has a tattoo of a lego pirate on a boat that is being attacked by a lego shark, along with some great ones depicting family and friendship. Another friend has a tattoo of a fucking octopus in a top hat holding a rifle that really looks like a broom.
