Tat pics

hehehe...getting deep in here jimwallace!

And holy colorful SRAD!! nice!

I would LOVE to have one down my side actually, but being a female, the reality is that if you get a tat somewhere like that and have a child, you run the risk of bad things happening to the tat. (so yeah, I used logic....)

TRUTH!!!

i have kanji and i seriously thought about not getting it because it is kind of a trend, but for me my mother was stationed in japan when i was 17, and my brother went back out later on as an exchange student and he actually speaks japanese, so there is a lot of meaning behind it for me, but that doesnt change the fact that it IS A TREND.

[Suki]

Yeah I didn't think that part all the way through when I got it but it's too late now. I do love it though.

if you ever get pregnant, just make sure you don't gain a ton of weight, drink lots of water and use lots of moisturizer/lotion.

I was going to get a cherry blossom tree up my side a couple years back. cherry blossoms remind me of when we lived in japan, loved it out there and wish i could visit again.

That would be a sweet sexy tat! Yet oh so painful...poor ribs

[Suki]

if we decide on no more kids and *cough* some gets "fixed", i may end up still doing it along with my sleeves. i've always wanted to get sleeves but a) my dad would flip out and b) work appearance reasons. but now days more employers are more "accepting" of tats and now that i'm married and "have my own life" as my dad puts it, i dont think he would care as much.

[salsashark]

Dad will always care...


On a related note, I remember the house shaking when my sister got her first tat. The parents and her in screaming matches for days. When I got my first one, dad said nothing and mom's only comment was, "well I hope that hurt"... yay for double standards!

[= Buckeye Jess =]

Yeah.. my Dad rolled his eyes and just muttered under his breath whenever I talked about getting one while my Mom just thinks I'm nuts. When I got my tongue pieced tho.. Dad wouldn't speak to me for at least two months... would just hand the phone off to whomever when I called... LOL

Ya'll ever see that episode of Cops that had the dude with the tats all over his face, but his nose was almost blacked out with designs... freaky deaky!

i have kanji and i seriously thought about not getting it because it is kind of a trend...

kanji/tramp stamp - trend or not, it's up to the individual to decide if they want it or not. If someone cares too much what other people think, whether it be that the tatt has an implied meaning, or that it makes them a follower, then they won't get it. I don't care about trends, if I want something bad enough, I'm gonna get it, whether it's a trend or not. My kanji is founded in the Chinese Horoscope, which I developed an interest for some 10+ years ago. Was it a trend then? I dunno. Is it a trend now? Maybe, I guess. I dunno.

[jimwallace]

youre absolutely right bob. people should get what they want. apparently i got under the skin of a few by saying my opinion. Perhaps it is just me, or perhaps given everyone is talking 10+ years there is a bit of a generation gap. I will just stop here and i will apologize if i offended anyone with MY OPINION. thats all it was it was not meant to be derogatory nor to demean anyone. all i can refer to is my own experiences (Which have been that girls my age with a tattoo on the lower backs are trend followers).

[OUTLAWD]

my first and second...more to come, but the bike gets priority when it comes to funds. don't really know what the clock is about...maybe just to remind myself of the time I waste...i.e. grad school

salsashark...who did your celtic stuff?

[Timmay]

I will post up some when I get home, since I dont have any at work.

[t_jolt]

God damn, Jim. what do you think this is, America or something. I mean really. no one has free speech here in csc land

I had the dragon on the inside done years ago at Wizard's Workshop... I'm having it redone along with the cross by Dirk @ Bonaroo in Aurora.

Sorry for singling you out Jim. I didn't mean to put you on the defensive. You had mentioned trend in 2 posts, and there may be people who read this that are on the fence about getting a tattoo specifically because they're afraid of being labeled a trend-follower. I merely wanted to give them some positive reassurance to not worry so much about what others think, but rather to focus on what they want if they like it. You're still free to have your own opinion... for now.

[Suki]

but if they are doing it because they like being bent over in a public restroom stall then they should probably get a shroom stamp tattood on their forhead instead.

i'm just saying.. is all.

[Suki]

although, just because you get bent in a stall, doesn't make you a slut.

doing it for free does.

its all good, hard not to single out the only person who is saying something. quite honestly i think you should get whatever you want. actually i am giving tattoos even. but i think there are 2 things super super important when getting one. what and where. because location can be just as important as what you get. take myself for example i have 2 one on my back shoulderblade, and the other on my shoulder. a simple t shirt hides everything. that was important to me because i plan on going places in life and quite honestly as mentioned before people do look down on that in the work place. I know you shouldnt care what others think, but taking it into consideration is important because what others think can affect you both directly and indirectly.

....i thought the mushroom stamps were for the kneelers?

well if its in a stall it is free....hotels cost money.

What if she is on her cell phone at the same time?

I was bending this chick over in the bathroom stall the other day and her phone rings so she answered it. Is that rude of her or is it just gross talking in the bathroom?

[Filo]

if we decide on no more kids and *cough* some gets "fixed"

Man whattya gotta be like that for? You saying the man is broked? Why not get yourself "fixed" woman. I see it this way: for the man it is an outpatient surgery with a weekend of an ice pack on the gnads. For the woman it is abdominal surgery and 1 week (minimum) of recovery. I vote for the woman to do it!

I have two tattoos - one on my ass saying "Caution: Hot Exhaust" and the other on Mr. Happy-pants saying "Remove before flight".

[dragos13]

...i have 2 one on my back shoulderblade, and the other on my shoulder....

caddygsxr: how did that one across your neck feel? I think thats gonna be my second tat location.

[SaShWhO]

I especially like the one of hairy back Mary
