Thread: tattoos anyone?

I have a few ...
A couple portraits ... a couple of Boris Vallejo drawings and a few originals.

i'm sticking with my 1 for now.

Tattoos are cool, but for myself, I have a problem with the whole "permanence" thing. It would take me a long time to figure out what to have drawn on my body that I wouldn't regret later Ex. when I'm 60 years old..c'mon, who would want something like a ladybug on their lower back when they're 60? I'll just stick with the piercings I have.

I have three. One of my fraternity letters, one of a sun and one arm band.

Laser technology is pretty amazing these days if you regret it later in life

1. PitBull on right arm
2. Cobra on left arm
3. Dragon on right back, Tiger on left. Covers the whole back.

True true, but who wants to spend that kind of money? I dunno. Placement and what to get would require a lot of thought for me.

Agreed

"Im sticking with the 1 for now." I remember when I said that lol. I have 6 now and am getting an itch for a new 1. As far as the "permanent thing", I always advise people to try to get something that describes who they are as a person, something that will never change, instead of a fad.

Geez, tattoos are addicting, but so are piercings. However, jobs limit you to where you can get them.

yes that is something else that takes careful consideration.

Er lol, I have two in each earlobe, tragus, ante-tragus, helix, "snug," two in the navel (at one point I had a quad in my navel, but I got tired of the side ones and took them out a couple months ago.) I would get more on my ears, but I have a keloid problem (accummulation of scar tissue).

I'm sure that it's still quite true, I do see it changing. I'm doing my part to change the perception of the IT guy ... I'm fit ... have odd hair colors and have a few visible piercings and tattoos My wife is also doing her part to change that percepttion ..

Im speachless lol. I wish I was your jeweler Ever tempted to go ummm below the belt?

where the heck are all those? I don't know the names of mine ... only the location In my left ear, both piercings on the lower lob ... on my right ear I have the middle inside and upper areas pierced.

The avi is the tat of my daughter.

Yep. Lots of people say that...but I've been sticking with my 1 for 12 years now.

I've been contemplating getting one on my lower back for ages but it just hasn't come together yet. Not sure if it's a when or an if thing...I admit I think about it a lot.

Lol, they are all places on the ears, excluding my navel ones.

I think most people without tattoos see them as a sign of a criminal etc ... After getting tattoos of my own, I realize now that is not the case. Tattoos are simply an expression (a permanent 1 at that)

Nikegurl, there is nothing sexier than a woman with a tattoo on her lower back. I dont think there is a man here who would disagree with that.

Thanks bulletproof1. I love 'em (even though so many people have them now). I was admiring an Aztec looking one just this morning at the gym. I just have to come up with one that's unique to me (that I adore). No flashart for me.

... the large percentage of those that I know that had some flash done, have had them covered ... the wife included.

The wife used to be a 'rebel' with her lower back tat ... now she's just one of many. If you go to the bar, you're bound to see 75% of the gals have a back tat.

I would disagee with that. Tattoos on chicks just don't do anything for me. I prefer au naturale myself. But more power to anyone that wants to get one. It's just not my thing.

well i well say that there are places on women with tattoos that dont do much for me ... i.e. upper back. i have never saw a tattoo on a womans lower back tho that did not look hot.
