Poll: Tattoos

[Electric Gel]

Maybe it's fitting that I didn't notice the penis dangling from the things crotch when I bought it, as I am a big penis sometimes.

Just curious, did you happen be drinking when this occurred?

Yes, on that occasion I had. I've never been the brightest bulb in the box, but I think that experience takes the cake. Thankfully I picked a tattoo that I've come to love, and that wasn't in a stupid place.

Thank god I didn't go for the "giant willy on face special." Now that would of been something to complain about.

Well, it's good that you ended up liking it. I've known a few people who got tattoos while drunk and ended up hating them when they regained sanity the next morning.

Good call on not getting a penis tattooed on your face! I think that's a shining example everyone should follow.

Thanks! That?s the first time that anyone?s congratulated me on that particular detail.

No one should ever consider doing what I did. As other people have said, always think about something so permanent beforehand. Design your own, or ask an artistic friend to do so. I picked mine out of a book, and although I?ve never seen it, there?s probably about fifty Dave?s walking around various pubs with the same thing.

It?s a great feeling to know that you share part of your body with some fat benefits cheat. An almost mystical bond that can never be broken.

Also, the parlour I used was shut down four months later for using dirty needles and having a sawn of stashed under the counter. Huzah!

(Sorry about the (no text) a minute ago. Pressed return while making the poll, i feel like such a tit.)
Ink placed in the dermis. Love it or hate it?
Surely there must be a fair share of escapists with some interesting ink.
Me, i've got a little circular tribal-esque design on my left arm, my own design, tweaked it for years before getting it on my skin. Right now i'm juggling with the idea for my next tattoo, a cartoon zombie, again, my own design.

So, what sort of ink do we have on this website? What sort of ink do you want to get some day?

That zombie is awesome. The other tattoo is pretty cool, but the zombie really rocks.....

Personally, I'm a bit of a wimp about pain, but I think at some point I will get a tattoo. Probably the typical girly thing of something small and tasteful, unless someone crazy talks me into something bigger.......

 

[ParkourMcGhee]

I dunno, I need to get one done in case they can't identify my body for some reason, but I don't really have any one in mind that I like so far...

The problem with tattoos is that they are for the rest of your life.
Try imagining those people with their bodies filled with tattoos in their seventies.
Not pretty if you ask me.

One of these is for my back, like shoulder blades to the base of my lumber.

Spoiler

Number 1, my preferred one at the moment

Spoiler

Number 2, awesome, but needs a bit of cleaning up

Super Awesome Tip Of The Day - a lumbar tattoo is like painting a target on your back for any experienced fighter. They will rip your head off. Literally.

Tattoos in the Lumbar area are also lesser known as the "skank stamp".

Just sayin..

Round here they call them "arse antlers"!

 

[MisterBrown]

I have a tattoo of Ryu, Rei, Nina and Teepo from Breath Of Fire 3 on the right side of my chest, i need to get it fully coloured in though. Money is needed
It was custom designed by a mate on DeviantArt, because i have a thing about unoriginal tattoos haha.

I plan on getting every other core character from that game aswell and a bunch of the support characters. Oh and i want to try and turn the murial just before the Start menu drawn up into a sleeve design.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

Meh, I really don't care. It's not the kind of thing I would ever be tempted to do, but at the same time It's kind of cool.

This, but I would if I was medically able.

 

[Voicuboyy]

i love it, i'm going to get full sleeves when i have money, i have a lot of tattoos in my mind no, my first one will be the V from saint vitus on the left side of my chest or the dubliners on my arm

?Slag tags? from my neck of the woods. Slangs bloody fun.

 

[Neesa]

There's a bunch I want. Just have to move out my house to get 'em all. I don't plan on being some corporate fag that has to hide all her tattoos. I'd want a sleeve (or 2) of my own original design. I'd also need a better paying job so I can start, since y'know... Tattoos aren't exactly cheap. So, love 'em! ♥

When you think about that, i get the feeling you're thinking about the people who get tattoos just because they look good. My grandad has a fair few tattoos and every one has a story behind them. That's the way tattoos should be in my opinion. My tattoo reminds me of a pretty ambiguous time in my life, i was confused and i found solace in designing that tattoo. It may not be the best out there, but i'll always have a story to tell.

I don't want to ever get a tattoo because I donate plasma/platelets every two weeks, medical products which are vitally needed by so many patients. If I were to get a tattoo it would rule me illegible to donate for at least 6 months, and I can do so much more for people by not getting one.

That's really noble of you, mass respect.

Thanks! I just like the idea that something I can do which is easy and doesn't put me out of my way in the slightest can be used to make a difference in so many peoples lives. I would much rather do this than donate money as this way I know the products I donate are going to make a difference.

 

[Yankmy Armoff]

I have two (one i regret being my exes initials, oops) but want more all i need now is someone to work on the design i have in mind (half angel half demon figure), i draw like an epileptic 2 year old so i need help.

Hehe, me too. Probably why it took me a few years to perfect my pretty basic design.

Wow, impressive. I wanted to give blood not too long ago but because of my tattoo i'm having to wait. It's a shame, really. Good for you though, if we had more people like you in the world we'd have a better place.

 

[Bierkrat]

Me and about 15 really, really good friends all want to get the same tattoo as a sign of our friendship.
We just haven't decided what it is going to look like yet...

 

[PAGEToap44]

They're cool but I would only get a small one that I've given a lot of thought to. In another 5-10 years or so.

There needs to be a "You are a goddamn idiot" option.

Actually, my favorite explination comes from none other than Private Lennard L. Chruch.

That is a pretty accurate description of what I think of tattoos and why I probably will never get one. I don't trust my past self enough. If I do end up getting one, it will be somewhere that I could cover it up and I would spend at least a couple years deciding what it would be. I admire them and really do like them, but I hate the random letters, tribal stuff, and ones that just don't make sense. I love and appreciate the really thought out ones though.
