So who here has a tattoo? When did you get it and why? Pain??
I have one (shamrock, how orignal :rolleyes: , got it about 3 weeks ago) didn't really have much of a reason. I don't think it hurt, like at all. I was expecting a bit more pain-wise.

For the un-tattooed...what do you think of people with tattoos? Do you think more negativly or positivly of them? Are you thinking of getting one?

...there is no point to this...:D

I plan on getting a tattoo of a big confederate flag on my back with a gator in front of it. I was also thinking of getting a ghostbusters tattoo for kicks.

I want to get the 1984-lines on my upper arm, but I have no idea how exactly.

War is Peace
Freedom is Slavery
Ignorance is Strength

In some nice font - but how to fit it...:confused:

I have 5.5. (let me explain) When I was 18, I got a stupid flash yin/yang on fire with my then girlfriend because we thought it was so "us". Yeah right. So one of the ones I have now is a large Reaper cover-up of that one (left-upper arm). So I put the 5.5 because I've sat in the chair 6 times, yet I have 5 tattoos. The other 4- My fraternity crest (TKE-right Arm), and my astrology. Chinese (dragon-left calf), Wastern (scorpion-right calf) and Navajo(Sidewinder- back, starting at the base of the neck and winding down between the shoulder blades).

Heh, get a shamrock, then you can match me and, ummm, every other person I know...yeah!

They're a lot more expensive to get removed than put on. (And painful)

That's my experience anyway.

I have my Ranger tab tatooed on my shoulder. I chalk it up to too much beer after too many days without enough sleep or food. That and the alternative would have been spending the night suspended from the barracks roof tied up in a sleeping bag. It didn't hurt, but at the time I was pretty much incapable of feeling any pain.

No! lol.
Irish-German-american (germishican??). I was considering getting a german flag, but I'm sure I'd be called a nazi (:rolleyes: ), and I already have a German last name, I decided to go for a shamrock.
If I get another tattoo I'd prob get an american flag, maybe on my bum. Because being an american is what gives me the ability to be an ass ;)

Oooh, I like that last idea.

Maybe I should get the "Unaustralian" flag. But that'll probably haunt me later in life.

LOL, you can always get it removed...
But I think with tattoos it's best to stick with race/ethnicity/nationality because you can't really change that so there really would be much of a reason to get it removed.
I'll always be germishican!!!!!!!! :D

Hmm. The thing is, i'm a bit of everything, so that wouldn't really stick.

Don't suppose you can find temporaries of what you're interested in so if you don't like it then you aren't stuck with it? So many options and so many body parts to choose from...

Don't curse it...it'd be creepy if everyone already knew who you were...

Got a scorpion on my bum, and want a few more. Upper arm, shoulder, chest - it'll keep me from getting more piercings!

Yeah, you're right. But the whole gender thing is a little annoying. Not that it really matters, I suppose. *shrugs*

There was a time when I wanted to get a tatoo of a female angel and a female devil embraced in a kiss with their wings outspread.

I'm thinking of getting one of a wolf on my upper arm.

I've always thought that tattoos on women could be very attractive.

Go back to the ghetto Mr. West. A confederate Navy Jack, often refered to as a "rebel" or Confederate flag, is not necessarily a racist symbol. Although embraced by rednecks worldwide, it is also a symbol of rebellion, states rights, and a refusal to take shit from anyone. Especially uppity rap artists.

I could think of better ways to get that message across.

I'm technically up to 13 now. The large tribal piece on my forearm has an identical copy on the underside. (although that wouldn't be visible at this angle anyway) Its a work in progress, sometime around March I'll be adding two pieces between them to connect the two tribals as a full forearm sleeve.

I also just got a Raven done on my chest last monday.



::edit:: actually I remembered I have a picture of the two tribals as well.

I've contemplated getting tattooed for almost 30 years now. It's always been a financial decision not to over the years. Ya know.. Tattoo or electric bill... tattoo or feed the kids... Now that I'm at a point where I could afford such a person extravagance I look around and find that my untattoooed and unpierced body is more of a rareity and more of a statement of individuality than following the sheep into the evermultiplying numbers of tattoo and piercing parlors.



Besides they'd clash with my scars.

I got one this year in May, after considering it for ages before.

I don't think I'll want many more, maybe one or two small ones, if I have another idea as brilliant as this:
