Who here's got tattoos? Alternatively, if you were to get a tattoo, what might you get?

my dad used to tell me that if he were ever going to get a tattoo, it would be something small on his ear lobe. that way, if he ever wanted to get rid of it he could just chop it off.

On this note, my friend might start working at a tattoo place, designing the tattoos. He'll get $60 for ten pages of full-size sketches. It's pretty cool.

I've generally wanted something black and scary on the back of my right shoulder, possibly extending down the right half of my back entirely.
Part of my motivation to get in better shape, actually, comes from "earning" a tattoo that I'd look good showing off.

I have seen a number of the trash in the town where I live who all have the same blue star tattooed behind their ear.

I've read about this and it is typically a tattoo with a sort of meaning, an identification.

I've read that years and years ago lesbians identified each other with a blue star on their wrist.
And long ago sea captains would tattoo a blue star behind their ear to represent Polaris. Sort of a identification for them.



But the folks here aren't lesbians or sea captains - they're probably meth dealers.

if I were to get a tattoo, it would be a portrait of my deceased dog

Two people I know have what is probably exactly what you're talking about, I think.

One is John Constantine. Who's the second?

I have a tattoo on my left wrist of precicely 72 differently sizes circles arranged in a half tone style blending from blue to black. It's faded and looks a little shitty at the moment though. I would love a full sleeve, but I don't think I could pull it off. I am definitely going to get my current one extended slightly further up my arm though, just not sure what. Feel free to try and design me one.

I want a hawk on my back.
Children, don't do drugs, don't do tattoos. It's bad for your health.

I'd get a tattoo of me getting a tattoo of me getting a tattoo... if my back was big enough :3

so you have a particularly small back?
That's odd

don't do tattoos

:blink:

I would like a tribal design that wraps around my body from the front of my left shoulder all the way down my left leg.

What tribe are you from?

I have four; a =w= on my shoulder, the gonzo fist on my back, trompe la monde in cursive on my ankle, and a New Jersey Devils logo on my ass.

If I ever get a tattoo, it would be something that I design. Some cool design art, or something...

I probably won't ever get a tattoo though. The whole 'permanent' thing doesn't appeal to me.
