Do you have any tattoos, plan on them? How many and pictures! Do you feel tattoos are addicting, if you have more than one what is the story, which one hurt the most.

have to get this one touched up. probably hurt the worst just because that skin never has any contact to have any pain resistance in the nerves.

I have three. This was my first, on my upper right arm:

This one is on my right forearm:

And here's my latest, the Angel of Death, left forearm:

All my tattoos were chosen for heavy metal imagery. I plan on more, perhaps a quarter to half sleeve on my left arm.
If it weren't for my disability, I have no doubt I'd have a good amount of tattoos by now. But they'd be of my own design, completely original. No stars or skulls for this guy (okay, maybe some skulls).
Oh, BTW, all you people who voted tattoos are disgusting. You suck. Seriously, I hate you. I'm not even joking.
Sensitive, eh?Quote:

I also don't much care for Jane Austen novels, eating bananas, excessive use of the passive voice, and messy rooms. But I certainly don't "hate" or attribute "shallowness" to those people who prefer those aesthetic choices.
I just voted that I have enough tats already. Since I have 0 that sort of shows my personal desire for them.
But I think they can be attractive, (but not on me).
One of my relatives got a tattoo of her boyfriend's name across her neck, so everyone could see. I don't recommend doing something like that. When she broke up with him, she had to get the name modified. When they got back together, apparently the tattoo artist could make the name come back again.
Anyway, if you want to put the name of your lover on your body, put it on your ankle where it is hidden, which is what her boyfriend did.
I'm not too much a fan of tattoos. Sometimes tiny ones on the neck or ankle or something can look cute, but other than that I'm just not into it.
Gotta say, those tattoos are pretty cool, SON :)
No, I'm not. That's like saying that hating racism makes you shallow. It's apples to oranges, I know, but I'm trying to paint an accurate picture as to how I feel about it. I can see how that may have come off, as "I hate you because you don't like something that I do", but I'm talking about a discriminatory attitude. Thankful, that kind of scum is a dying breed.Quote:

I wasn't referring to you as being shallow and shortsighted, I was calling people who think tattoos are disgusting as being shallow and shortsighted. :lol: Should've clarified, I suppose.Quote:

P.S. metal134, you should participate in the "Rate That Song" game thread. I'm literally the only person who posts heavy metal songs (and I mean modern stuff, not just Black Sabbath and Metallica) and they always get trashed. So, join in!
Yeah, that kind of hit me later on in the day. :blush:Quote:

Well, yeah. I would say you're wrong. Because it's not so much the fact that they don't fit your taste. That much, I respect. But that's not the vibe you give off. You give off the vibe that the very idea of getting a tattoo is silly and that people are silly for having them. But I think the part that got me more than the silly part was that they "are desperate". What the hell does that mean, anyway? That people, which would obviously include me, are trying to get attention somehow? That is condescending and offensive.Quote:

I fully intend to be covered in tattoos someday. My body is my canvas. And if somebody thinks they look silly, that's fine, because maybe I don't like your pants, your haircut, or your purse. Personal choices. However, I DO think there is something to be said for putting THOUGHT into tattoos... tattoos should be art- not picked out of a booklet, or a poster on the wall, or done in haste. Tattoos should be done by reputable artists- yes, artists... there is a difference between somebody who knows how to do a tattoo, and somebody who is an artist.
I have one, at the moment. It is the first verse of my favorite poem. It will be turning into a sleeve, depicting the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. My tattoo artist has a degree in fine arts... and we`ve been putting thought into this for years.
Piercings are very personal. The book Modern Primitives has a lot to say about the cultural reasons for body modification. I LOVE my piercings and tattoos, and funny hair, and style of dress- body modification is a way of life, and it's the people who think 'ohlawl, a kyuuuuuuuuute tribal butterfly tattoo!' who ruin it as art for everybody else.
Personally, I'm not one for piercings. However, I'm not a "how can people do that kind've thing" douchebag. And I truly feel those people are douchebags. And if that makes me wrong for thinking that, then I am %100 OK with that.
Commenting on the literary tattoos, some of those were really nice. I like the Faulkner one. If I were to get that sort of tattoo, it would probably be Gravity's Rainbow. In fact, I've been wanting a half-sleeve for quite some time, maybe...
here's a piece of (one of) mine(s), with a little photoshop

The one thing I don't "get" that's become big with body-art here lately is the ear-lobe discs. 1. They look very stupid. 2. Unlike with normal piercings, these cause permanent damage, stretching out the ear-lobe. Nothing like a big, floppy, noodle ear to make oneself look attractive.
^My lobes are one inch, and if done PROPERLY, they often return to normal size if you take out the jewelry. There is a point of no return, but to each their own. I might think your hair looks stupid, but that's your choice, and I would never say so...
I put my ear buds through mine to keep them in place, and sharpie markers if I need them around the barn, etc. :)
I really don't understand all the judgement against piercings/tattoos/stretching/etc. Why can't we just live and let live?
Do you ever forget they're there and search all over for them? I ALWAYS do that when I put pens, markers, etc. in my hair.:auto:Quote:

And I don't judge a person's character based on image. Well, to a point. I do question this guy's.
last week i meet a friend and i never know he is tattoo designer, and now were planning to put tattoo at my back but until now i can't decide...i am looking for some ideas you post here.

I agree. Just pick one. :coolgleamA:Quote:

I've got 6-7 tattoos (depending how you look at it) and will continue to get more until it is no longer possible. Only one piercing though I want more but eh, I keep getting lazy. And I love and support graffiti.
Still, none.
Friends trying to get me to have my ears pierced though.
I should have a tattoo given my origins in Yorkshire. I'd like one, but I've got other stuff to pay for first. It's a long way down the list, and I'll perhaps never get one.
I asked my friend about tattoos because I hadn't paid much attention to them before I came to this forum, and then I noticed that there are a lot of tattoos where I live, and many tattoo parlors.Quote:

I love my tat, and I can't wait to add. I finally have an idea of what I want. Now all I need is the time and money :)
Does it count as a brand if the oven door closed on my arm? After that I think I'm done with the whole burning skin thing if I can help it.Quote:
