Firstly, while I can kind of see where you are coming from but you should be the one to like the tattoo, it really shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks because it's going to be on your body. I don't care what anyone else thinks about my tattoos because they are just that...mine. :)

If you are unsure about the design or what you want then you should definitely hold off until you are sure. Or maybe you should meet with an artist and have them draw up a design for you, they can even offer suggestions for lettering and what not.
 
yea it means something deep and important to me but i dont think other people would understand it. and i dont want to end up getting shit for it all the time.

ill definitley talk to the artists about that
 
+1 re: talking to some artists about it. It's their job and most of them really know their shit and will have a lot of great ideas and suggestions for tatts :)

The more nice text tattoos I see, the more I want one of my own. I just don't know what mine would say or where I would get it on my body...
 
I don't know if i've posted a photo of my tattoo in here? I think I did in the Aus Social thread...

well im a young'n so you know guys like to act all macho and stuff and if youre getting a tat of something more meaningful than a naked lady or a cross you get shit. but then again if its going on my chest not many people will see it..

also would it be a bad idea to get a tattoo when im going to grow more? i lift a lot and my chest has been getting huge lately i dont want to look rediculous with it getting stretched out.

That is beautiful. Did you draw that yourself?


Here's a bunch of mine I'm posting so I'll gain the motivation to get them finished. It might happen if I'm forced to star
e at them for awhile (in public). :\

Mt. Lushmore. (This will be beautiful once I find someone to finish it).

Cheers.
 
I love your tattoos, thouart that <3

As for mine, i co-drew it, so to speak, with a friend. We took the design to my girl and she tattooed it for me. What i really like about it is that people are surprised by it - they don't realise that it's two angels until they get close up. :)
 
Ahhh I am glad we get free doctors in england, as for me I had this tattooed

I never had any scabs on it or anything and I love it, its so cute! it took me 4 years to decide what I wanted then 2-3 years to decide where.. I did several Photoshop tattoos on my body before I decided where exactly (I ant posting them up as I am nude) :P
 
Samadhi, just beautiful hun! <3

thouart_that, I love the Mt Lushmore one and the lotus in particular :)

Teetowl, very interesting and cute!
 
^^ Pics??

And speaking of which, I don't think I've posted pics of my tatts in here.....must check on that :)
 
Nice tatts Samadhi and Teetowl! I love unique/unusual tattoos! :D

Do you have another username thouart that? I'm sure I've complimented that Steadman inspired piece before in some other thread... :)

Left and right inner wrists. Words Breathe and You're OK happened during a really bad bipolar episode. Figured I could use some reminders.

Wheel of the 8fold path. Above Quan Yin. Pretty much a Buddhist arm. Still incomplete.

And then there's another one in the back of my neck that I don't have a picture of.

I plan on getting my son's name first on my inner arm and making it look good somehow in a boyish way.

After that my daughter on my other inner arm with hearts or butterfly's.


I just need to find a good price for both. :)
