i think tatoos can be super hot, in the right place, as long as they aren't huge. I've thought long and hard about getting a small snowflake in a strategic place. Mmm...snowflakes rule.

The fashion victim factor doesn't bother anyone?

The proper procedure for getting a tat and not regretting it (especially your first one):

1. Decide you want to get a tattoo.

2. Wait a year.

3. If you still want one, draw/design it, or have an artistically inclined person do it for you. Don't just get some generic piece of flash! It won't mean shit to you so you'll probably regret it.

4. Wait another six months to a year.

5. If you still want it, get it.

Tats are like marriages, they're both going to last forever so there's no reason to rush it. Yes, you can get out of them later if you really want to, but it's a long, expensive, and painful process that you really don't want to go through.

Drew it myself, I love it, chicks love it, I'll cherish it forever.

So are you saying if you have a tat you are a fashion victim? To each their own...you dont like it...dont look...IMHO

Hah! I can totally relate, I can't tell you how many dumbasses wanted to go get the Air Force symbol tatooed on in tech school fresh out of BMT, and how many wished they didn't have it once they'd been in a couple more months. Certainly once they'd moved on to their jobs at their bases. Idiots and their money.

One pet peeve is how many girls get fricken' HUGE tats in the small of their back. First off it's not all that creative a place to put it, and second off...the smaller, the better man. Kinda like what Altachic was saying. Small is sassy, big is just...gross.

I guess SNL ran a "small of the back tatoo remover" for fat chicks ad a couple years back, a buddy was telling me about it, wish I'd seen it.

Ah, the old field goal tatoo. Classic.


This classmate has the Atlanta Braves "A" on her calf. Shes from New Hampshire. She's never been to atlanta. The closest she's ever gotten is TBS on a big screen. Tack on being incredibly ugly and a belligerent drunk and she really doesnt have anything going for her.

I'll say this: do what you want. But respect language. Tatoos are language, and if you are using symbols, know what they realy mean. Know the syntax. Know the context. Know. Because you will be asked.

[warthog]

You know what the "small of the back" tat is all about, don't you?






She takes it in the pooper!!!





That is the rumour, at least.

Sandy...my husband has my name tatooed on his chest. I got him very drunk one night and "marked" him!

Seriously, he was stone sober when he got the tat...at the request of the tatoo artist. Evidently alcohol makes the pain/bleeding worse. Not sure how true this is, but my husband said it wasn't that bad doing it sober.

He says it sure didn't tickle, but it wasn't like unmedicated open heart surgery either (though I thought that's what it was when he suprised w/ this huge gauze patch on his chest!). He said it was like a stinging-burning sensation that was intense and quick, like getting stung by a bee type of thing.

If I were nearby, I'd go with. Good luck!

they don't let you get ink while drunk because your blood is too thin and won't clot properly.

tats don't hurt that much after the inital few minutes you become dull to the pain...cept of course underside of your arm...damn that hurt. had to take a few breaks for that one.

they are definitely addictive but I've held off with only 2 at this point.

the small of the back tattoo on girls is super played out plus whenever I see one of those on a girl I just assume she's a stripper cuz I think the join the local stippers union 306, they have to have a tattoo on the small of their back. makes sense to me anyways.

Others that are definitely played out.

- barbed wire on the bicep
- barbed wire, flowers, whatever around the ankle

I don't mind tattoos and I actually have one, but they can certainly be over done. Look at the NBA for example. You'd think their union is requiring them based on how many players are inked.

Anybody see the tattoo special on discovery last night? Got to say that most of the people shown were freaks. I thought that the old man with the tribal tats looked ridiculous, but at least he seemed to understand the meaning behind them. I am not inked and will never be, but my opinion is that tats are cool if there is meaning behind them and thy are not over done.
