tattoos

[beef_bourito]

So i was watching miami ink on tlc and it really got me thinking about what i would like for a tatoo. i've wanted one for a while now but can't make up my mind on what i want. I'll probably wait until after university and get something related to my field. I'm also thinking about military service and i'll probably get something military related somewhere on my body.

so does anyone have any tatoos here or want to get some, and what's the significance?

Since you've wanted one for awhile, why not get a mural of you getting a tattoo on your back?

[beef_bourito]

haha good idea. but i'm not sure that i want something that big for my first tattoo. i want a few medium sized ones. but i'm only going to get some that have some kind of significance to my life. but that would be a fun one to get, maybe not on my back, but on my arm or something

Fair Warning: Tatoos are addictive

I have just 3 right now, but if I had the money, I'd get a new one once a month.

The first one I got when I was 17, its kanji that says "Born Lucky" on my right shoulder. And yes it really says what its supposed to, I checked (2 years after I got it ) I got it because I was born on 7-11 (craps numbers or large chain of convenience stores) but I've had nothin but bad luck ever since. I'm not sure if the tatoo is the cause but as of right now its the scapegoat

Second one is auto-themed mural style on my left shoulder. It has checkered flags in the background with mufflers, pistons and some dice (the whole lucky theme) in the forefront. I like it, never seen anybody else with it but I'm sure someone out there has it

Third one is an optical illusion style on the top of my back. It reads "life" one way and "death" the other way. This one Ikinda wish I had thought about first. I was drunk at the time (definitely a for getting tatted) and was in the shop to buy my sister her first tatoo for her 20th b-day and my cousin and her friend were gettin tatted too, so I figured what the hell, me too. I saw it hangin in the guys "office" and had to have it. Its still cool and all, but a lot of people have it, both celebrities and people I've met. I absolutely HATE when people have the sme stuff as me, so this particular tatoo was a dumb ass idea. The moral of the story, do go to the shop drunk.

My next one will be one of two designs I made myself. One is a symbol I kinda created for myself. It says "FTP" if interpreted loosely which stands for For The People which has all kinds of deeper meanings behind it. The other is sort of an outline of the black marks on a cheetah's face. Cheetahs are my favorite animal and I personally find the way the lines interact on their faces pretty damn cool.

Hope that rambling helped... and don't forget. No getting tatted while drunk!

i thought that most shops don't tattoo drunk people for that exact reason. too bad that shop wasn't like that. at least it wasn't something terrible like a butterfly

I don't htink I've ever been that drunk. Most tatoo shops won't ink you if you're drunk. This one actually had a sign that said "If you're drunk, smelly, or broke... come back when you're not" But I guess my drunkness wasn't that evident. Or it was masked by the gum and the chatter-happy flock of girls I was with They probably would've tatooed me while I took swigs from the bottle just to get them the fuck outta the shop!

Do you have a pic of that?

I'd love a tattoo but I'm a chicken and I have no idea what to get. My friends said that they don't tattoo drunk people because alcohol thins the blood and you bleed more...?

That's definately one reason, but I imagine it's also so that they're sure that you're sure, that that's what you want to get.

It doesn't really hurt that much (unless it's over the bone), and even then it stops hurting the moment they lift the needle.

Its this same tatoo but on my back and a lot bigger. Yeah, you do bleed more when you've been drinking cuz the blood is thinner. I definitely bled more than I did with my other ones.

[highteknology]

i like that tattoo. it's sick. i agree with you on the fact that i hate it when other people have the same tattoo.

One of my buddies has that

[driftinggrifter2]

i got 6 tats. you can do a search to see the one that covers most of my upper right arm and then in my profile theres a pic of the one on my left shoulder blade.

and you dont have to be drunk just drinking a little alcohol can thin your blood to bleed out the ink depending on you system same with asprin
