Tattoos

[lovecraft68]

I like them, have a bunch and they are addictive. I could never walk into a parlor with someone and hear that gun and not get one.

The industry has blown up and evolved due to women, especially young girls getting them. The colors and beautiful designs on some of the emo/goth girls are amazing, but sometimes there's such a thing as too many, depends on the girl.

The girls getting more than the men these days also changed how tats are perceived for a long time they were associated with gangs, prison trouble makers or people got them in the military, any woman with them years ago had to be a 'biker chick' now everyone has them.

I like the line in Son-in-Law, when Becca who is about to get her first tattoo says to Flea, "I want something feminine..."

Flea replies [looking at Paulie Shore (Crawl)], "You're standing next to him."

well, that certainly explains a lot.

I have the ink.

Just one.

No indecision.

No need to call the marines.

Four

Bicycle chain ring tattooed on inside of right calf. Went around for years usually with a greasy chain ring mark during summer months. A reminder to keep active. Is lame to have a 'radical' tattoo and be a couch potato.

Bindrune on right chest. Bindrunes are combined Germanic runes that combine the symbolic meaning of the individual runes. Mine are of protection and life force. Sort of a metaphysical defibulator. See the Bluetooth logo for an example of a bindrune.

Wild Boar on left chest. Boars in Anglo-Saxon lore were symbols of fertility and strength. Very dangerous animal to hunt with primitive weapons. Also while having a reputation for being filthy animals, pigs and wild boars are known for intelligence and the ability to go from docile to charging horror in an instant when faced with danger or protecting young.

Huginn and Muginn, the ravens of Odin that sat on his shoulders and brought him the news of the world. Huginn represents thought, Muginn memory. The basis for human intelligence. Which is more important is a common argument in philosophy.

The Huginn raven has below it a verse form the Eddic poem Grímnismál:

Hugin and Munin
Fly every day
Over all the world;
I worry for Hugin
That he might not return,
But I worry more for Munin.

The Muginn raven has the names of my dead father, mum and brother with 'gone but never forgotten'.

My personal take on thought and memory.

Got mine as a part of a mid-life crisis. Intended to get one at age 40 but instead put it off until having heart attack at 43. Was going around dressed in Dickies, Ramones t-shirt, BMX helmet and generally looking like a 16 year old skate boarder. Heavily into bicycle culture and eco-friendly things. A reaction to family deaths at early ages and my own mortality scare. And guilt at working for multi-national chemical megacorp.

Had thought of having a zipper tag done on chest scar from open heart surgery.

Then Paulie Shore says something about all the ink went into his blood and made him hostile. Only funny exchange in that entire wreck.

I remember way back the show Bosom Buddies when Tom Hanks tries to get the girl (Donna?) name tattooed on him. As soon as the needle hits him he screams and stops, then shows it to her and says he a got a love dot for her.

 

[slutindianwife]

Yes, I would like to get one

Oh yeah, "He does have a point!"

I split my head open last December and somebody (think it was St. Pete) suggested getting a zipper tag tattooed on the back of my head, especially since I shave my bald head.

Sadly, it healed up phenomenally well and you have to look for it now to see it. Didn't get the tattoo.

Mine as well. After 10 years it is barely visible.

especially since I shave my bald head..

Rob and Que are both bald?

Now it feels even more strange - to be used as a pawn by both of them, in that ugly fight that they have going on between them

 

[Aquagal]

Do you like them? Do you have one? Do you want one?


I'm considering another one. I know you all can probably guess......a paw print.

I have none, I don't like them.

 

[JohnnySavage]

I have a few. Only one that can be seen in polite company.

I got mine before getting them was cool

 

[Hard_Rom]

Amazing how things change. Not so long ago, bikers, sailors and whore wore tattoos. Now you can give your 16 year old daughter a 'tramp stamp' for her sweet sixteen present.

My soccer mum sister-in-law has a tattoo on her lower back. Live, laugh, love. My brother-in-law had never heard the expression 'tramp stamp'. She just giggled when I told him what it meant.

 

[jezzilee]

I'm a big fan of them. However...

...made a pact with a dear friend that I would get my first tattoo with her. She insisted, and I agreed.

Then, she died. So, no ink will touch this skin. Ever.

so sorry Rory ~©~


I have one so far, in memory of my sister, it has no color just like all of hers did. My next will be in memory of my dad and will be partial color. I am designing one for myself that will be full color. It is addicting and omg I love the way it feels when the needle hits the skin.

I'm a wimp when it comes to pain. My biker tattoo guy was disgusted with me I am sure. The shoulders were fine. Sat there and read a magazine. The chest was painful especially when getting close to nipple area.

If you don't like pain get them done high on shoulders were clothing rubbing desensitizes the skin. And avoid areas that concentrate nerve endings and with bone immediately underneath.

My tattoo guy was an ex-jailbird associated with the H.A. But man was he a fucking artist. His drawings and stuff was phenomenal. And a real fanatic about cleanliness and hygiene.

 

[spacekowboy]

Don't have them. Don't dig them.

Why would anyone hang something permanent on their body that they wouldn't hang temporarily on their wall.

 

[Killswitch1]

I'd love to get a watercolour tattoo but not convinced on how well they age.

[Aphro]

I don't have any, and I won't be getting any.

I have to say, personally, I don't like them on women.

Call me old-fashioned.

That is why you must put lots of thought into getting a tattoo. It must be intensely personal and mean something to you. A tattoo of Elvis or Marilyn Monroe, IMO, does not count. A nice poster on your wall will suffice to show how much you like their music or movies.

Unless your into pain or fetish type body art. In which case why stop at a few and go for the Illustrated Man approach.

I am kind of oblivious to pain. This year my shoulders burned, one day in the shower I was peeling skin off my shoulders. I looked and, huh sunburned. Never felt it. When he was doing my tatt, he kept asking if I was good. Oh, I was good, more turned on than in pain.

It is a good rule of thumb to be intensely personal about the art you are having administered to your body. Also, know your artist. There are a lot of wanna be's out there.

A Navy anchor on the left forearm with a girls name on it is acceptable.

Anything else is lame.
