The Tattoo Megathread vs. Tramp Stamp

Mia-I was in that play in college =D

I think it *might* fit if you shorten it. How about
"She loves the lake the way a seagull does, and she’s happy and free as a seagull. Then a man comes along, sees her, and ruins her life because he has nothing better to do. Destroys her like this seagull.""
 
^I like that :)

What character did you play? The Seagull is my favorite Chekhov play... I didn't really appreciate Chekhov until I read it and it completely changed my perspective on him. Poor Konstantin :(

Has anybody ever gotten tattoos done by family members? My cousin is a tattoo artist and has been for about 6 years now... I didn't get my tattoo done by her because I was worried about not liking it and at the time she hadn't been doing it for that long. I got it done by my old best friend's mum who gave me huge discount (and drew it up for free) but I know my cousin will do it for free :\ and it's text so I'm so worried about her drawing skills...
 
Im thinking of getting a tattoo, i drew it myself kinda based on the aerosmith logo, not that they mean anything special to me. Just i like the design of it. Here is my basic drawing, i wanted tattoo'd with thin lines i don't like thick lines lol

What you guys and gals think? i want it on the back of my neck, any other areas it would look good?

I just wanted to post a response to those who commented, "Don't get this, don't get that, it's been played out, etc." What do you care what someone else gets inked on their body? I believe that as long as the person chooses something that is personally meaningful, who the hell cares what it is? The person getting the tattoo is the one who has to live with it for the rest of their life. Why should someone shy away from getting the tattoo they REALLY want just because so many other people on the planet may have the same thing?

I agree. I got mine from *gasp shock horror* a free flash art site, and fell in love with it instantly. Kept the print-out for one year before finally getting it done. Apparently it's not cool to have tattoos that aren't original, but I don't really care because I've had it for four years now and still fall in love with it anew every time I see it (it helps that it's on my back)
 
I don't think every fucking tattoo must have some backstory or meaning to it. I come up with ideas that I like the look of or take from something I like. Later on I *might* think about what it could represent.

I don't have a deep story to tell. I think ink looks pretty. This time my artist wants me to have the whole right arm planned out rather than separate pieces he fuses together with background. This way he can play with foreground, background, and other details I wasn't listening to. I trust him. He does great work.

I am going with a black, grey, with hints of red jungle theme. I like plants. I like flowers. I like lions. I like monkeys...

Sounds like the makings of another excellent tattoo PI %) <3
 
^ I was much the same with my tattoo; it was pretty, I liked it, I got it inked. End of story. It didn't tell a story or reflect my beliefs or ideals or anything. It was from concept art to the dark crystal of all places...

I really like your current sleeve P.I. The black & grey with red looks great! Oh oh I have slight muffin tops if I do my belt up tight and my tattoo is on my lower back, let's be tattoo homies mmkay! =D

Nice stars R.R. The thin lines on top of the foot must have been fun though huh?

it actually hurt closer to the the toes and the part that's closest to the outside of my foot, but a good kind of hurt that comes with tattoos.

it's kind of a tradition in my department to get the southern cross (the constellation) as a tattoo for the research that we do.

This is my ink from this summer, the cherry blossoms wrapped around my ankle. It's not done and I need to get back in to have some more work done on it...I'm just procrastinating because this was one of the most painful tattoos I have ever gotten. The purple flower tattoo I got about three years ago (just before I joined Bluelight actually I think)
