I think piercings are about ten years away from me even trying that route, if ever. I don't know about leg tattoos, either. That shit has to be done right or else you look stupid wearing shorts. Guy at UPS, where you have to wear those short brown shorts, looked like a jackass with his leg flame tattoos. Full color.
Double Post: Where's your bird tattoo blue? And the guys at the parlor told you how and what to take care of it with, right? |

I'm also working on full sleeves and have my left and right forearms partially done. I also have 2 tats on my shoulder blades as well as one on the back of my neck. I also have 1 tat on my left upper arm ( bicep area ) and 2 on my right. Sadly, i don't have any photos of any of my tats besides a ages old picture of my first tat i got up in Seattle back in 01'.
In two weeks i go into to get a partial back tat which is a homage to D.boon which consists of the minutemen anchor symbol and a picture of d.boon on the guitar. I myself tend to stray away from using colors in my tat's and just stick to simple black ink. anyways, here is the pic of my first tat. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/2...tledjw5.th.jpg |

If he ever gets the tattoo, you gotta take a pic of the two tattoos together. That would be awesome. See I can't even watch people getting injected on TV or something... I have to turn away... but I guess since everyone has said its not that bad, I may be able to convince myself to do it at some point. |

BTW, the reason that I haven't posted a picture of mine yet is that it is strangely attracting zits... I'm not sure why. I was thinking that maybe putting lotion on it 2x per day was contributing to that? I don't have much acne on my back, generally... And certainly not all in one spot.

I have a pelvic tattoo, too. It's only text and it says "Carius mihi et dignius videretur tua dici meretrix quam illius imperatrix." ("It would be dearer and more honorable to me to be called your whore than to be the empress of the whole world", something that Peter Abelard's mistress wrote to him in the 12th century.) I got it in the throes of despairing about some things as a stupid "reclaiming my body" gesture, which is all very dumb and new-age. But even with those connotations discarded, I really like it; it skirts the line between classy and trashy. No pictures of it though. ;__;
It's pretty big, but getting it wasn't THAT bad. I've voluntarily subjected myself to things that hurt worse. The only REALLY unpleasant parts were right on my hip bones. It felt like the tattoo needle buzzing was reverberating through my whole body, and it made me cry ;__; and it was off-putting enough to make me reconsider my plan to get more text on my collarbones. |
My big brother has tattoos galore - each one usually representing something special and meaningful in his life thats happened (IE his first daughters nickname, the special forces branch that he served with in the military, his platoon nickname and symbol when he was in kuwait etc etc etc). Now that he's a firefighter he wants to get something that represents his firehouse. Hopefully I'll have moved to New Jersey if my masters plans go right and I'd like to get one too. He said he knew of a friend who could probably do us both a really good one at around the same time. It'd be my first (and probably only) tat, so I really want it to be something special.
If you'd asked me this a few years ago I'd have sworn up and down that I'd never even think of getting one. But now...I dunno. Guess my outlook has changed since I'm older and more grown up. Still seems like such an out of character thing for me to do, but ah well! Can't think of what I'd want it to be though, which is odd because I'm usually brimming over with ideas... |

I don't have any tattoos myself. I'm getting one when I graduate from high school...
However, in the mean time, I am a tattoo artist. My current project: my stepfather's next wrist band (working on a celtic and a gothic version presently)... My last rough draft of a tattoo was a "Morte Prima Di Dosonore" (Death Before Dishounor) with a sword through a heart, an eagle, and the letters on a banner. After my stepfather chooses which band he wants finalized, I'll finish this... |
Ok ok, are ya ready???
It's very small and simple; remember, I'm an sXe kid... Spoiler:

Um... Blue, are you aware that you basically have the dove of peace, popular symbol of the born again christian movement, tattooed on your shoulder?
|
I'm aware. Not sure why it has to be a dove, exactly... People have said that, though. One day I might get it filled in blue. It being a dove doesn't bother me, though. It's also a symbol of love, I think.

I've considered getting a tattoo on various occasions, though A) I have no idea what and B) no idea where. Plus I'm scared I might end up permanently having a symbol adorned to my skin that I would eventually grow tired of. I'd very much like to get a pop culture or video game related tattoo sometime though, provided I can come up with something that would remain timeless to me.

The original idea actually came from a doodle of a bluebird with the words "flying after God" written over it. I'm looking for Him... Where did He go? So see, it works. |
Hey, that's good then. As long as there's something there for you to connect with. I wasn't saying anything against the church though in that sense. I'm a standard Christian... Even if it baffles most of the Catholics/Evangelicals in this country.
I knew a guy that didn't really give a damn about tattoo significance. The last thing I saw him get was some sort of creature (if you've played FFVII, it looked a lot like the little guy that hopped around his horsish thing in the area in the crater that also had the potions) vomiting leaves. |
I've always been kind of enamored with the idea of a tattoo, more than the reality of it. I like symbolism, and the idea of a reminder, like something you can always use to ground yourself.
I've toyed with the notion of a basic yin-yang between my shoulderblades, but frankly I don't think I'm quite hipster enough to carry it off. It's pretty clear to anyone that hears me speak for more than 20 seconds that I'm a nerd. About how much would something basic like that run me? |
Just a reminder to Deni. You gotta post pics of the sleeves when their done, or atleast pretty far along. I love looking at the art.

Depends on if it's colored or not, Skex. Of course, also the size and detail of it. But your basic yin-yang I'd imagine would cost you 100-150? Of course prices in Vegas were always inflated so it might be less in your area.
In prison? Ten bucks. =O |

Posted this a while back in the What's Your Sign? thread. My tat, located on my right pec.

Wait, a pelvic tattoo is on the pelvis, am I right?
So what does a penis have to do with it? Certainly the tattoo is visible without showing a penis. As for me, I have a tattoo, one of those trendy, new-age Japanese symbols. I did it, actually, because I like Japanese. Now that I've taken Japanese, I realize it's actually COMPLETELY INCORRECT which means that I've failed as a person. Oh, well, live life and learn. |
