I took him about an hour to draw it and then about an hour and a half to actually get inked.
The words on the bottom hurt more than the words at the top, but it wasn't all that bad.

I love them.
they look really cool.

On my wrist I'd or on my upper arm I'd like to get a collection of smaller tattoos. Not to make one large piece, but just together, if that makes any sense.

I'd like some playing cards, like this to remind me of my Grandpa who passed away recently. He played bridge and they'd remind me of him.
I'd like a kind of fireball thing, I have a design. It looks pretty cool. I'm not sure why I'd like that. It just makes me think of shooting stars and the end of the world and weird stuff ...
Then I'd like thorns and roses, a couple of stars and one word.
I'm not sure what.

That sounds really shit but when I draw it out it looks pretty damn cool. I'd also like little hearts on my hip. Kinda like what Oli Sykes has.

I love tattoo's. I think they're beautiful and stand for so much worth telling a story about.
All I have now are markers that I decorate myself with.
I do hope to get tattoo's some day.

I want to bring tattoos into mainstream modelling though, so I'm definitely going to be inked, not heavily.

I generally prefer tattoos when they work as one large piece, not just random pictures. But truthfully I love any form of tattoos, I wish they were more accepted.

That is generally my plan.
I gather if I can get enough coverage from modfelling and such I can make being what would usually be considered to be 'alternative' or punk or hardcore or whatever, and make it a more social norm.

I love the idea of having someones art permanently on your skin.

Blue Demon:

Can you hear ME?:

My mother said if I pay for it myself I can get a tattoo on my 15th birthday. :D

Anybody know what base prices are for tattoos?

There's not really base prices for tattoo's; your paying for the quality of work that will be on you until you die, it also depends on what size your getting it too. Though I would advise for you to wait until your a bit older before you run head onto to getting a tattoo, you'll be living a long life, no reason to fill your skin with ink just now.

I find it funny that everybody is telling me I'm gonna live a long life when I almost get hit by cars each morning. :omfg: Do what I can now before I screw up.

But seriously, don't tattoos stretch more if you're still growing if you have one like on your leg or something.

Yes that's all to true, as your skin stretches they stretch with it and as you grow that also stretch, thats why it's best to wait until you're 18, the majority of people have stopped growing by then

and on another note

I got my tattoo appointment booked in for my birthday next month, my first tatt pin up house wife with a dash of whore porn on my leg :D

I'm pretty sure my parents would lock me in my room until I went to college if I told them I was planning on getting tattoos.

I love tattoos, and I'm definitely going to get some, eventually. I'm not sure at this point what I'm going to get, yet. I had an idea for what I wanted for my first tattoo, but my best friend didn't like the phrase I wanted. [Best friends pull the trigger together.] A heartagram is a must, and I'll be getting something Green Day and My Chemical Romance related. Either a great lyric or a picture representation of the bands. I also think the tree and heart from In Love and Death by The Used would be a wicked tattoo. I'd love to get a tattoo with my best friend's name and mine, with some kind of saying declaring friendship [because I don't plan on ever losing her], but she's not comfortable with her name on me. :[

A lot of people keep telling me that I should get something that means something to me if I get a tattoo. And they also say, "You won't like this or that when you're older. You'll regret it." My best friend made a really good point to that.

As far as tattoos go, your body is your canvas. Whether or not you'll love something when you're older doesn't affect the fact that you love it now. If it means a lot to you, and you're willing to get a tattoo of it now, do it. When you're older, you can look at your tattoos and remember who you were, what's changed. It's like a photo album. It's a part of you, something to look back on. Course, she said it a lot better than I just did...

My tattoos:


On my lower back, on my spine. Got it March 1st 2007.


My grandfather's name on my wrists, June 2007.
Shit photo I know, but have you ever tried photographing both your own wrists at the same time? :lol:


March 2008. Picture taken half an hour after having it done. I need a decent picture of it healed...

^^ Those are amazing tattoos!
My religion bans me from getting a tattoo but I always wanted one.
If I did have one, I'd most probably have lyrics that means something to me.

I love tattoos. There's so many that I want, and I plan on getting one very soon with my parent's permission.
I just think that the person who's getting the tattoo should be sure it's what they want, because as far as I know, tattoos can't be removed. Though some people seem to think they can be. I'm not sure, but it seems to me like they can't be replaced/removed.

Well, a lot of people get them covered up by other tattoos. But, I'm also pretty sure that I've seen or read somewhere that there is a very expensive procedure that can remove tattoos, with lasers or something like that. I'm pretty sure it is possible, but very, very costly.

Really? What religion is that, if you don't mind me asking?

Islam.
We are not allowed tattoos because before we pray, we have to cleanse ourselves.
And with a tattoo, its like a barrier for the water to wash away dirt on your skin.
Because you ink it in and so your skin is now marred.
Therefore, our prayer will not be valid.

:shifty

No offense to people with tattoos though. I think its a great form of art. I just am not allowed to have one.
