I'd like to tattoo something that actually had a meaning for me (and that could be read). For a while I considered getting this tattoed:

quote:

行く川のながれは絶えずして、しかも本の水にあらず。

Which is the first sentence of a famous Japanese text that says pretty much what Heraclitus had said a few centuries earlier. But, because I can read Japanese, and the tattooist probably doesn't, I would probably regret it

edit: I'm having some trouble with the encoding... here's the source:

It's the first sentence.

It isn't helping I don't have Jap characters installed... nor do I read/speak Japanese so I'll take your word for it. Is there anything culturally Brazilian which would work?
Aside from tribal, no sense getting something tribal like some dumb white assholes do here, when they're not actually in a tribe... well I guess dumb white assholes form their own tribe.

We call them bogans

When Myra gets back I'll see if we can get a decent photo of the Dead themed Sun tattoo I have - it isn't "tribal", but I also don't know how else to really describe it. A friend of mine from back home was a pretty epic artist who went on to become a tattoo artist, and she designed the image and actually tattooed it on me herself.

I don't think a ton of folks have seen it, but Myra definitely always says it's her favorite of the tattoos I have - and it's probably also my favorite as it's the only one that I know is absolutely unique.

It was also probably the most painful of the ones I have as it basically goes from just above my left nipple up onto my collar bone.

actually i have a godsmack t shirt protecting my mixer from dust a few feet to the left of me right now hahaa






but to get back on topic... i'm against getting any kind of random tattoo... i dont think you should get one unless it really means something to you, like others have said there are countless assholes out there with random tattoo's on them just because it looks cool, and shortly thereafter, they realize that they were really foolish to get it in the first place...

There are quite a few things, but I just can't pick a sentence and/or a sign that really translated who I am, as the Tower of Babel and/or a quote about all things being impermanent.

I really wouldn't like to choose a design simply for aesthetic reasons...

That's why I'm glad every single one of mine was music related (save for one which is music/heritage related - I have Neil Young quote that appeared at the end of Kurt Cobains suicide note that is on a banner with a shamrock - subtle homage to my Irish grandparents, hoping to add a flag eventually) - and not "flavor of the moment" music related.

Three of the four of them I had actually known I wanted for years before I was even able to get tattooed.

that's pretty cool

ITS NOT JUST GODSMACK ITS ALICE IN CHAINS DUH!
GODSMACK STARTED AS A ALICE IN CHAINS COVER BAND

ive been thinking about getting the pisces sign (or a varation of it) on one of my shoulder blades or directly on my right shoulder;


CLICK PIC!



i know it looks too plain like that but maybe a tattoo artist can do something interesting with it. i dont want anything tacky looking though

Ok dude, you won't be saying that when my Cavalier tattoo does a burnout on your face.

I waited till 30 to get me a big one.....
had a small one, but covered it with this
Full color quarter sleeve ....

suck ass pic I know, but here is another one with more detail.....

and no cheap shots on the 'artsy fade look'of me and one of my ladies Lilith!

but it shows the real good detail that went into it and it took 14hrs......

my next one (and last one) is going to go from a half sleeve on my right and crawl across my shoulder to down my right side of the back and up and over my collar bone as well.....

I have heard that the collar bone is very painful but as long as I can cover them up with a dress shirt I will more than likely go bigger...

It has taken about a year and a half for me to get a design that I want....but I am partial to the bio-mechanic look, inspired from HR Geiger

Originally posted by Lilith I don't have any tats, don't like them at all

not one bit?? hmmph

quote:

Originally posted by RJT I get that all the time, and have no idea how it is that folks wind up at that conclusion - but yeah, apparently I'm not really a "tattoo guy" in most folks minds.

Lol, I thought the same thing. You don't fit the type who gets inked. Anyway, I have one tat on my arm and plan on getting more and maybe a half sleeve...but I dunno if I want to get that crazy with ink.

The cavalier on the arm there...WTF man!

i have 2 more, but you don't need to see them

I gave up counting your ladies... just don't PM me when one finally comes completely unstuck is hacking your door down with an axe.
(That'll be entirely your problem!)

Not one bit on me, amount you spent on tats I probably spent several times over having no blemishes on my skin so its all much the same.

Getting this soon

is it the side view of a fedora or a sillohuette of a plateau

Neither, and the fact that you don't get it is precisely why I want it.
