Unless it is funny, it will only work if you are a pretty cool looking dude/girl anyway.
Tattoo's on fat/ugly people look trashy and horrible, normally it is the person wearing the tattoo that makes it look good rather than the tattoo making the person look awesome.
Remember this, or you might be adding trashy to ugly/fat which is a ruthless equation, to go along with your truly ruthless combination of DNA (Lettuce leaf if anyone gets that reference, I'm looking at Canadians mostly).

My ex girlfriend just got this tattoo:
I'm not a fan of colour tattoos, but I think this one's quite pretty!
Her name is Suzanne which means Lily in hebrew =D

The only people who tell you not to get tattoos are the people who don't have them.
I have a tattoo on my left upper arm. It is the Black Cat that Tim Vega designed for Blues Traveler's album cover 'Four'. I've had it for years, and I am still happy with it. It didn't hurt that much when it was being inked, and it is discreet enough not to make me look daft.
Yes, it is worth bearing in mind that whatever you have will be with you for the rest of your life, but that doesn't mean you will suffer from it. People have tattoos for different reasons. Obviously, getting one of a pair of boobs on your forehead might limit your employability at your local McD's, but if it is something you want, then go for it.

Unless of course, you are certain what they say... Anyways, as far as tattoos go, if you must get one, get something unique. Something that while it doesn't necessarily mean anything deep, represents you all the same. I'm not going to tell you what you should get, just make sure it's something that illustrates something about you, since it's something others will want to see, and something you will have to live with. Unless you get it lasered off.darkless said:
I considered a tattoo for a while, then my sensible side kicked in and reminded me that it would be a silly thing to do and would remain on me for the rest of my life.
However, I am not entirely against small discreet tattoos; I just don't think small discreet ones suit men and a big glaring one would age horribly.

Not sure I'll ever get one, because if I did I couldn't donate blood for a year, but if I do it would probably be the Crest of Hyrule.
I'm in the process of designing my tattoo and touching it up a bit.
I'm just gonna get a butterfly on my shoulder blade in October, to remember my nana who died 10 years ago this October so yeah... I've put a lot of thought into it.
I've recently decided that a few months down the line I'm gonna get another butterfly on the other shoulder blade facing the other one. And that they're both gonna have different eyes and I don't know how to do the eyes at the moment

Start with a small one.
Don't do it while drunk or high ever.
Make sure after you pick a design you think about it for at least a month(a week if you must).
Don't get it in a place that will be viable if your wearing normal business attire (long sleeve shirt, pants) so not on face or hands.
Don't get a barbed wire ring, tribal design, Asian character, lower back tattoo (not sure if op is male or female just making sure, the tramp stamp is the most removed tattoo) or a bands name.
Don't get it of anything relating to something you probably wont like 10 years from now.
Names are bad, especially girlfriends.
Make sure you go to a good place, if it seems shady GTFO.

Yeah... I signed up for blood doning... but haven't had an appointment letter yet... about 5 weeks after I handed the application to them, in a blood donating clinic at that.Macgyvercas said:Not sure I'll ever get one, because if I did I couldn't donate blood for a year, but if I do it would probably be the Crest of Hyrule.
But this is the tattoo I'm thinking of getting on my upper right arm:
I didn't expect to find a picture of a tattoo when I searched
Don't get a tattoo just to have one. If you have to search for what you want then you'll more than likely grow to hate it.
As for pain, the closest thing I would liken it to would be a bee sting. It just depends on your threshold for pain. I fell asleep during 2 of the 4 sessions on my calf. After a little bit your endorphines kick in and it becomes a lot less noticeable (I actually get a euphoric high after about 20 minutes in the chair).
I've got 4. A devil head on my upper arm (modified flash).
A large piece on my left calf (I've got huge muscular calves so I got it there to accentuate them). It is a modified flash piece with a gas pump coming out of a heart with gear shifters (hot rod theme). That's the one that took 4 sessions.
And on the inside of my ankles I have the molecular model for caffeine (right) and nicotine (left) that I did myself. (Got the machine off ebay for $150)

I'm kinda considering getting a Dry Bones tattoo when i get older. Probably somewhere near my shoulder. That, or a picture of a dancing donut...or both!
I've heard them refered to as ass-antlers, at least the tribal ones.Xojins said:It's a tattoo on the lower back, just above the ass. Usually women get them, and I assume they're meant to attract men's attention.KaiRai said:What exactly is a tramp stamp btw? :/ is it like a heart or something that just looks a bit generically slutty?Xojins said:-snip-
Eh, I guess they could, but it would look bad. That's why I say avoid them
i have one tattoo so far and definately plan on getting more. (they're addicting)
Tattoos will hurt depending on how long and where they are (mine is on my wrist, a painful spot, but really wasn't nearly as bad as i expected).
I was determined that my first tattoo was going to be my own personal design. I finally came up with something i loved and got the tat on my birthday, and will be getting the next tat on my birthday as well

I've got one on my right shoulder blade and I don't regret it. It's coverable if needed, but in general I don't mind if people see it, because I'm proud or at least don't mind, what it represents. Which would be my grandfather. He's a lovely man, who has done much, and seen a lot in his life, and I love him dearly. So when I turned 18, or was about to turn 18 I decided to get something that represented him on my shoulder. Or rather, when I was 17 I started considering it and after talking it over with my parents for nearly 6 months (including designing it myself, for the most part) I got my tat. Which my parents paid for (thanks mom )
It turned out to be a fender stratocaster hanging from a paraglider (picture http://www.flickr.com/photos/49692641@N00/3215011839/ ). On itself that sounds whacky but it makes more sense when I tell you that my granpa is (he's 69) a paragliding instructor and indeed paraglides himself. And when he was younger he used to play a fender strat, a wooden one at that. And lastly, he has two necklaces which he always wears, one of them with a paraglider and the other with a fender strat.
The actual process of getting one wasn't all that painful for me. The guitar even tickled because the tat artist had to place his hand on my arm and I'm really ticklish. The straight lines really hurt, because it felt like he was slicing something open. Which he was. And the higher up he got the more it hurt, due to my permanently knotted neck muscles. But all in all it only lasted half an hour and the it's a very strange sort of pain. Yeah you're getting your skin sliced open or punctured open, but it also vibrates, so it just felt weird. I still claim that getting a cavity filled without being sedated hurts far worse (I hate my dentist, no wait, ALL OF THEM).

I've got a few ideas.
My first one is going to be a stylised bass clef, I'm thinking a yin yang (don't worry, I'm into Taoism so its cool) but instead of dots they are bass clefs. I did one up in Photoshop awhile ago, it looks cool
The other one isn't going to be for awhile and I am thinking this, down my arm.
