Drug-related tattoos

leiphos, while I've admitted that I did in the past screw up with mephedrone, I've found a very real balance that allows it in my life now. I have neither need nor want to get clean from it totally. That aside, I want the scar of my past fuck ups. I always keep mementos and my body is littered with metaphors for the good and bad of my life. However the mephedrone molecule in this tattoo doesn't solely represent my personal experiences but rather my close circle of friends. I want to look at it everyday because I want to remember.

I'd want to get a tattoo of a drug that would be real deep meaning to me. Like one that would really change my life. Like a really special shroom/lsd or ecstasy trip. Like everytime you see it you think of how great that time and day was.
I don't think I'd ever want to get a drug of something like meth... it's so.. what's the word, disgusting? I guess. Like, even thought it may make you feel really good, I don't think much of anything else would come out of that. Afterwards you just want more and it just doesn't seem like something I'd want to be reminded of.
I think you should get a tattoo of a day that meant a lot to you. And get a symbol of something that happened on that day or whatever. I think then when you look at it you will be happy and when other people ask you can tell them about how awesome that day was and how it changed your life or whatever.

Edit: oh yeah, and I think you should get it somewhere where you can show people, but still cover it. Like get it on your shoulder blade, or like on your chest or your leg or something. Or hip.

rangrz has never read anything that was made of such epic fail....heebus...LSD is noting more then a drug too. just like the rest. Its all fake emotions and feelings...tho stims and dowers are closer to reality and thus you, then lsd at least.

that's actually some good reasoning, esp if it's something you've done many times before. I like the idea of being "scarred" by your past, and having physical manifestations of your memory
 
If I got a tattoo it'd be on the inside of my lip and of maybe something I saw on an LSD trip that had/has great significance.

yeah, I currently have 6 tattoos(some fairly large), 5 of which have atleast 1, if not more, metaphors for parts of my life, whether good, bad, or neutral. My long term memory is aweful and I tend to forget or smudge memories together. Having solid reminders staring me in the face everyday, even if not obvious, is necesary for me. I'm just now coming out of the worst stages of my life and I feel that no matter what, I should never forget my youth and teenage years. If by chance you're interested in tattoos shoot me a PM I can show you some of the work I've acquired and explain what I can.

get a huge 2d mol of (2S)-N-methyl-1-phenyl-propan-2-amine with the iupac in a circle around it. its a cute and simple mol one fused aromatic ring, and a few radicals. should be cheap to get, as its basically just lines. and no one well recognize it unless they're into drugs or chemistry. cooler then some local slang term imo.

Yeah, I'm actually considering something like that now instead. But not a huge one. Just a small structural diagram of a meth molecule, maybe on my shoulder blade, lower back or hip. Somewhere concealable. Local drug slang on my forearm will just be a cop magnet.
 
my tattoo

this is my opium poppy tattoo i love it. its a reminder ive had it since April. the tattoo took six hours i did it all in on sitting. what do yu guys think? its based off a painting by Georgia o Keefe. to me it represents the duality of having beauty and pain.

my tattoo artist was awesome and did such a great replica of the painting i knew i wanted the tattoo for abt 2 years before i got it but i never thought that it would be SO close to the painting. this was my first tattoo and so far only tattoo.

if I ever got a drug related tattoo, I'd do something related remotely to psychs, like a third eye... or something of the sorts. other than that, I'd never put any hard drug-related tattoos on my body.
 
having a hard drug related tattoo is something alot of people wouldnt want but atleast with mine the connection to heroin isnt very obvious to the
general public because to many ppl its just some flowers and its on my stomach so its only visible when i want it to be. I curious tho what peoples honest opinions are.
 
I have a couple of very small tattoos, but neither are drug related at all. I got them when I was quite young and they don't hold the same significance they once did. That's not to say I dislike or regret them - I don't. I might incorporate them into a larger, more elaborate and meaningful piece someday though. If this piece is to be more meaningful to me, I don't see how I can leave out at least subtle references to the drugs that have played major roles in my life.

That said, I'll probably get the infamous weed leaf tattoo someday too. Not so subtle I guess, but as long as it's in a place that allows me to choose who knows about it and who doesn't, that's alright. Pot has been way too big in my life for me to ignore it in my body art.

I used to really want a tattoo of the molecular formula of serotonin back when I was using shitloads of ecstasy. I still kinda want that tattoo, not to do with ecstasy though, but the fact its a neurotransmitter that controls mood, happiness etc. Most people say "what the fuck, man?" when I suggest such desires.

That's actually a pretty cool idea. Especially for someone who has suffered from depression or whatever.



@ OP: No...if you even have to get our opinions, you aren't sure and it would probably be something you regret.
 
I think tryptamine and phenethylamine on each shoulder would be kinda cool to get, maybe with some kind of background.
 
My bf has a tattoo of something he saw when hallucinating, but other than that I don't think it's obvious.
I do think it'd look good on you though since it's special, imo, to get something representing a life change.
 
I think those are some beautiful "flowers", your artist captured the painting quite well. Never let anyone tell you your tattoo was a mistake though, you did it to your body out of your own love. people will have their opinions but as long as your happy with it, you've done yourself some good.
 
my friend did this on my 60 days. no more dope. i hope.
