I was wondering what people thought of it. The symbol of a rose has personal connections with me that run deep through my past while the symbol is based off of my favorite book and altered by the artist slightly. Comments please.

You've got a rose shaped like a crucifix on your back that you'll need lasers to remove. Congrats.

Well, now not only is the symbol of a rose running deep through your past but deep through your back too. /stating the obvious

It's a pretty cool design, but I think I'll stick to avvys to show off my taste in symbols/music/video games/gods/etc.

Next time if you feel like drawing, get a piece paper and pencil or even some pretty pens. It hurts less, it wont get infected, and when you get older and your tastes change you can put the piece of paper in the attic.

If you're going to get body mods, get a boob job.

I for one think it looks bad ass. I was also in the tattoo shop yesterday gettting a calf piece done. Number 6 baby!

whoa. >_> If your going to criticize me for getting a tattoo then feel free to leave your comments out of this thread. i didn't ask if you approve of my getting it i asked what you thought about the design.

And...i don't need a boob job. kthnx jerk. ^_^

Thanks =) This will be my only tattoo.

Right down the spine. Ouch. When I got mine, I was almost in tears when it went over the spine.

All in all, very nice.

Nah, silicone feels weird in your hands and mouth. :p

Although this isnt of course universally true, in my life i have noticed an inverse relationship to the number of tattoos someone has and thier IQ. Just one tattoo only seems to be an exception but when it gets more then that the rule seems to kick in.

Nah, silicone feels weird in your hands and mouth. :p

lawl. That made me laugh.


It actually didn't hurt that bad. I thought it would be so much worse.

Nah, silicone feels weird in your hands and mouth. :p

Well, I for one think body mods are a "want" not a "need".

If you don't like the body that you were born with, and feel compelled to make permanent or semi-permanent modifications, you should start with your brain first.

Oh? Well, I went to an ivy league college and will be in med school next year.
I got it on my back just low enough so that i can wear scrubs and it won't be seen, i can wear a business outfit and it won't be seen either.

lawl. That made me laugh.

Well, it's true...

So I got my tattoo yesterday, and while its excessively sore to move, I love it.

I don't usually combat other's views upon art, but tattoos suck! I'm sorry to hear that your chance of dying of infection has risen %66 percent along with back pains!

And if you decide to remove that tattoo, (which I hope you do), you will need a professional -tattoo-remover that removes them via laser, which will UNDOUBTEDLY cost you 3000$ just for the minimum treatment!

I'm sorry for critisizeing, but this a general forum, and I feel the need to say my mind.

Now that's a damn fine philosophy. Thumbs up!

What going on with your shoulder blades?

I wont get it removed. i've been thinking about getting this for many many years, and made sure i wouldn't regret it.

I went to an all female tattoo parlor and got it done. it was really pricy, because they are really clean/good. so, meh. I'll take my chances. it wont' get infection given the fact i'm babying it till no end for at least a week and a half.

Oh? Well, I went to an ivy league college and will be in med school next year.

While i dont doubt for a second that this is true, i suspect the simple fact that you are on a political science message board already seperates you from a vast majority of your multitattooed bretheren.

bretheren? o.O;

Well i am an only child. I would like some siblings.

Oh? Well, I went to an ivy league college and will be in med school next year.

Where and where?

It's sexy and from the picture you appear to be too. If you love it that's all that matters.

George W. Bush went to an ivy league school...

I think it's alright, I think it would have looked better in color though. All that really matters is whether you like it or not.

I have one tatoo on my upper left arm (shoulder) a bald eagle. I plan on having it redone and plan on adding an American Flag on a staff that the eagle appears to be holding. Pretty cool. I love the bald eagle and the American Flag and I really don't expect me to ever change in those regards because who knows me better than me. :D

Wellesley then transferred to Bryn Mawr. Next year Columbia Med.

I for one would like to see what it looks like from the other side. :)

She said she didn't need a boob job. So it's probably fine.

Neither Wellesley nor Bryn Mawr are Ivy League schools. Good luck in New York, though.

Um... whatever. Personal choice and shit. ... Why did I even bother to comment?

Since you put it that way, I guess I could agree. But i'm not getting one myself!

After having seen Bush and Kerry talk in public, I have a dim view of Yale, and Ivy League schools in general.

Wellesley is MIT's sister school. Bryn Mawr is Princeton’s. They are the female equivalent.

It's a picture of your freakin' back...

Ignore EveO, he's been somehow transformed into a bitter prognosticator of nothing. There was a time when he made a little sense, but it seems to have passed. Ivies are good and your tattoo looks sexy. I also have a tatoo and also went to an Ivy. Begins with a P in NJ. Go Tigers!

Since when is MIT now an all-male school? Or Princeton?

doesn't have to be all male. Enough talk of my college experience plx. ^^

exactly. lol. no perspective. just my back.

Knowing people who've attended them, I've a dim view of them as well.

MIT's not an Ivy League school. And this whole "sister school" stuff is a load of tripe. They're not the equivalent. And that's probably a good thing. The Ivy League schools are overrated.

I rest my case. After all, Liuzzo goes to Good ol' P-U. I think he's one of the Dover Boys...

Is that on/near the main Columbia campus? If so I can give you a tentative list of restaurants and stores to avoid.... a list which will be about 3-4 years old, admittedly. <.<

Congrats on going to a professional tattoo place, unlike the other ones iv'e seen. I haven't been in a tattoo parlor, but I can imagine-unless it's PROFESSIONAL like you'rs-it won't be an experience I will enjoy. I never wanted a tattoo and never will.

BTW, Your tattoo looks cool!

Well, if it does, you could always send it in a massage.

I think it looks great.

I like your shoulder blades too ;)

I think it looks great, I want to get another one in the same spot but extending across my shoulders.

Well, if it does, you could always send it in a massage.


that makes no sense :confused: but i would like a massage. kthnx.

Yeah, Princeton parents loved me at lacrosse games. "Oh my, that young man has *gasp* a beer!"

Go Blue Jays!

You're female. You're on teh interwebs. Really, do you expect anything else rather than hordes of men falling over themselves to compliment your appearance? :p

Intentional or not?

After having seen Bush and Kerry talk in public, I have a dim view of Yale, and Ivy League schools in general.

Moi aussi. I spent some time at a few Ivy League schools and didn't like any of them. Princeton has awful food and the distances between important buildings you're bound to visit daily are astronomical. Yale is completely surrounded by secret societies, terrible drivers, and youth gangs, and it's more than a bit pretentious. Harvard I didn't stick around to see, but I toured the campus and was not very impressed. Etc.

Intentional. Of course.

I fail to see how anyone could draw conclusions about someone's appearance from looking at one of their tattoos (unless they have a weird shoulder blade fetish or something).

You'd be suprised. some guys are just bastards. That's when I tazer them until they stop talking. That seems to shut them up.

mm. i had a performance at princeton recently. it was fun, though i agree i dislike the food.

Yes, but did this person, or me for that matter, have the family connections he had to go there? There's a difference between those of us who earn it and those of us who get a free pass. I didn't grow up in a family of wealth an privilege, did you Raven? Furthermore, my GPA was a 3.61 undergrad and 3.91 grad. He didn't even come close to that.

My family was wealthy, but my dad cut me off when I went to college. I made it on my own. I have a 3.92 GPA. and its Ravelyn, not Raven, but that's cool.

So back to the tattoo design, away from my colleges, and GPA.

Usually, people parade the name of their alma mater if they are trying to impress the ignorant.

When I'm interviewing, I'd rather see if they can think their way out of a wet paper bag. I have an especially dim view of undergraduate degrees from private schools, and a dim view of MBAs who have never worked in a real company prior to studying for their degree.

Went to PU, while you went where? You're just so witty I can't stand it. Have you enjoyed the pounding you've been taking the past few days? What happened to you? You went from a reasonable debater to an angry partisan hack in no time. I used to respect your views, now you're just a troglodyte.

its not very unique...

but as long as you love it and will love it forever, thats what counts.

I do love it. i will love it even more once it heals and i can sleep on my back again.

Yeah, Princeton parents loved me at lacrosse games. "Oh my, that young man has *gasp* a beer!"

My parents would have been right next to you wondering why no bring a keg. We're not the snooty type, just work really hard.

You seem like a lovely young woman, Ravelyn. I'm not a great fan of tattoos and wouldn't get one myself, yours looks pretty well done. I suppose the back offers the largest and least sensitive area of skin for decorating oneself, but I wonder about putting a tattoo there. You said the rose is very meaningful to you and you've thought about it for quite a while, and yet, by its placement, you aren't going to be able to enjoy it except in photographs. And people won't see it unless you have your back to them. Anyway, just some observations from curiosity.

Oh, look! He uses big words like "troglodyte" and went to Princeton! Wow!

He's still hanging around this thread, hoping to get pics of a girl on the Internet.

How very sad.

My apologies. Quite a unique and beautiful name I might add. Also, please don't take any of this as me being overly forceful as I'm happily married. I just like your tattoo, your tude, etc.

I think he believes he can actually get laid on NS General. Even more sad.

Quite true. It usually works, unfortunately... trapped as I am amongst other high school seniors, I hear them announcing their ambition to one day get into a small community college or something. I mention the names of some of the universities I've applied to and they look at me like "WTF?" And for a while, when people asked me my SAT score and I told them, I gathered a reputation for being the schoolwide smart person, even though I was only in the lower 2200s. Like standardised tests actually measure anything.

Anywho: back on topic.

It's on my back for a reason. it's what I bear upon my shoulders for the death of someone I loved deeply, who died before his time, as well as my own personal endeavors I've gone through for the past seven years.

I mastered the art of smuggling alcohol into games. ;)

Y'know those boxes of wine? Rip out the foil bag inside. Stuff it down your pants so the spout is right by the zipper. Open your fly for refills. Looks like you're pissing and drinking it, but who's gonna question it? :D

Goes beyond sad really. It's pathetic.

Well, you can, strictly speaking.... it's just a bit difficult to fit "it" into the ethernet port....

Good use of symbolism there... also, I won't bother with the sympathetic remarks, I may get pricked. See, it has a purpose. ^=.x&

Well, if we're actually going to comment on the design, now that we know the motive, I would say it needs some color, the cross needs to be emphasized a bit more, and there aren't enough thorns...

Strictly speaking there have been a few "hookups" that have happened on the forum in the past ...

its not supposed to be a cross. if it was i would have made the thorn leaves longer and had the design that way. it is supposed to be a rose. the reason i didn't get color was becasue it fades, and well, i really like tribal artwork. I don't think color would have really fit with me either. Not that I wear all black but I like classic black.

No idea I dont normally participate in "social" threads :p

Actually, not all that many. Simply because many of the cybersexers are low self-esteeming teenagers living in their parents' basements, and/or paedophiles masturbating to pretending to be underage boys/girls... and neither group would be that inclined to actually go out and meet someone, whereas people who actually are who they say they are/are comfortable enough with themselves/have a good knowledge of martial arts and/or weaponry would be far more inclined to do so, which have resulted in a couple of NS relationships (i.e. Jim & Roan, Silver & Hans, PM & Glitzi et al.)

I know some people on NS in real life, but did not meet them through NS. I met them, became friends, then got them into NS. =) I do have a good knowledge of martial arts [shaolin kempo specifically]. That's fun.

And yes, i'm a nationstates'er. i never really make it to this social forum.

All my rps are rather long, and well written for the most part with some exceptions of certain people, or certain times where its 2AM and i just can't write anymore. That's really the only time you'll get a short post out of me.

Hey! Only I can award medals! <.<

Besides, that award's already shared amongst FairyTInkArisen, Utracia, Parratoga, me, The Beautiful Darkness, Fascist Dominion, etc.

I did that too, but they all lost interest. :(

I do have a good knowledge of martial arts [shaolin kempo specifically]. That's fun.
I always wanted to learn one of those barely known and extremely powerful martial arts, but my town doesn't offer it so I'm in non-competitive taekwondo for now, i.e. the kind that they don't use in tournaments because it can actually kill or incapacitate people. My reasoning for avoiding NS meets is firstly that none have occurred in the New England area to my knowledge, and secondly due to assorted mental problems and shit that prevent social interaction from being feasible. (Social interaction that doesn't involve me ruthlessly killing people, that is.)

Bah, only Tink and TBD rose to that level. Of the ones you mentioned anyway...

Well, Utracia started a whole spate of threads about how everyone ignores him, and I started continually referring to myself as "Czardas, Supreme Ruler of the Multiverse" and stuff... oh, and we should include Ritlina/Naliitr because no-one else I know Started So Many Threads About Himself In Such A Short Time, And Used Those Annoying All Caps.

Which reminds me, if I weren't so lazy and didn't know it would be moved to spam almost immediately, I'd start an "I'm back!" thread for everyone to be moved to worship me again. ^=.x&

I have the authority to determine how much bellybutton lint people can produce per year... and to distribute the NS Memorial Awards... and to yell random big words whenever I please... Have you forgotten all that? -.-


Yeah, that's why I like you, mate! You freakin' kill me! :D

... braiiiinnnnnssssssss ...

Well, too bad! You won't get one!

Just kidding. Here, have the Ravelyn Shentavo Medal for Annoying Czardas Until He Agrees To Give You A Medal.

Sweet. I knew persistance would pay off eventually.

Sweet. I knew persistance would pay off eventually.

What? The medal I awarded you meant nothing? :p

I like it. Normally I'm not smitten to tattoos very much-I always see stupid shit like hearts or barbed wire-but yours is original. Very nice.

Tell your grandchildren you pressed a flaming rose to your back and burned the image into your skin. It's more badass that way.

So I got my tattoo yesterday, and while its excessively sore to move, I love it.

Ravelyn's Tattoo (http://profile.ak.facebook.com/v52/828/26/n10302344_2876.jpg)

I was wondering what people thought of it. The symbol of a rose has personal connections with me that run deep through my past while the symbol is based off of my favorite book and altered by the artist slightly. Comments please.


I like it. Well done. The placement allows for future additions to complement it.

I had something "witty" to throw at the nay-sayers but why waste pearls upon swine when "Fuck off" does the job so succinctly.

I like it. I want something similar down my spine. To all those criticising their decision to have a tattoo: shut up. It's not your back.

Yes, but I do not believe I will get any more additions to it, unless something huge happens in my life or a major event that would lead to me getting another. For me it had to have a real meaning behind it before I got it. I have no regrets and love it.

"Fuck off" does do the job, but i prefer a bit of eloquence in insults. It makes me happy =)

Yeah, not gonna regret that when you're 80...

Oh, as if that made any difference to us. :p When have you known NSGers not to criticize? ;)

I think he believes he can actually get laid on NS General. Even more sad.

I'm sorry I went beyond your vocabulary level and I'll try and dumb it down for you. Get laid, seriously? I'm hanging around to "get laid" and you're just here to be a dick. I'm happily married to my college sweetie who also has an advanced degree. We both have Masters and are quite young. Sorry, I'm just better than you and that makes you angry. Kind of like the way I've been kicking your teeth in on every thread you attempt to combat me on. Good luck with that wet paper bag thing as you're not worthy. Oh, and my wife's a former beauty winner from NJ and has the brains to boot. So my wife's hot, smart, and cool enough to marry but I'm trolling for poon on NSG. Do you ever get tired of being irrelevant?

Well, you can, strictly speaking.... it's just a bit difficult to fit "it" into the ethernet port....

*ahem*


Good use of symbolism there... also, I won't bother with the sympathetic remarks, I may get pricked. See, it has a purpose. ^=.x&

wow, I must have missed the part where I wanted to meet her and have sex with her. I do remember me asking though. Sometime between just now and never. Project your own pathetic lives and worthlessness on someone who cares.

Do you ever get tired of pulling your pud on teh intarwebs?

Yeah, not gonna regret that when you're 80...

Firstly, why should I?

Secondly, and this may not occur to you, but theres every chance that a person might even get to 70, let alone 80. If you're so weak as to put something relatively harmless like a tattoo for fear of the possibility of some from of regret in and around the time of death, I'd hate to see you trying to go do the poxy shopping.

And in your case, I'd say that would amount to masturbation.

I've got 'em, too. Doesn't crinkle up a pretty picture on my skin, though.

(I can't very well say "troll alert", as it would be wrong here...)

I always wanted to learn one of those barely known and extremely powerful martial arts, but my town doesn't offer it so I'm in non-competitive taekwondo for now, i.e. the kind that they don't use in tournaments because it can actually kill or incapacitate people.

Tae Kwon Do is one of the most powerful martial arts, choosing something else will probably be a weaker variety......top three martial arts scientifically tested for power generated(not in order, because Idon't recall the order)-Boxing, Muay Tai(sp),Tae Kwon Do,

expelling the myth: having it done on your spine does NOT hurt worse than when you aren't on the spine. I have the top of the stem, that little curve, a lot of line work was done there and that is the only thing that really hurt because of that.

Believe what you want. I have a BA in psych, a BS in Business marketing (double major) and a MA in Education. Sorry to ruin your little attempt to make yourself feel better. I'll begin working on my Ph.D in clinical/counseling psych at Columbia this fall, hope to see you there. Seriously, is it not possible to actually attain something in your life, or is it just your own lack of drive that allows you to project your abject failure upon me? Yeah, my wife went to the same school with a double BA in English Writing and Sociology and an MBA in marketing to boot. I'm sorry that no one where you come from strives to achieve beyond the ordinary but here in the NY/NJ metro we just aim higher. Yes, she is a former Miss Teen NJ and did quite well in the equestrian circuit as well. Pardon me, maybe I'll just have to send you a copy of the wedding video. I'm smarter, I work harder, and I'm just plain better than you EO. Oh, and your "Nuh huh!" argument style is equal to that of a 5 year old.

Thanks. I don't plan on getting it removed though because of its significance to me.

I used to think that about mine, now after 20 years I'm thinking about having it removed, not because it embarrasses me but because I think it could have been done better.....so I may get it lasered and get something bigger and better in the same spot......

Tae Kwon Do is one of the most powerful martial arts, choosing something else will probably be a weaker variety......top three martial arts scientifically tested for power generated(not in order, because Idon't recall the order)-Boxing, Muay Tai(sp),Tae Kwon Do,

Actually, there are some that are more powerful: for instance, kickboxing, the assorted jitsus, et al. There is one style of fighting, for instance, that specifically trains its adherents to knock someone else out (or kill them) in a few seconds. Besides, most people perform only competitive taekwondo, which is not nearly as effective (but far easier).

Liuzzo, Eve Online, quit your flaming/baiting before I report the pair of you to a Higher Authority™.

Yes, no one in our area bothers attaining anything in their life. Our education level is the highest in the country, and our income is also extremely high. We also have the best public schools in the nation. We also have the highest proportion of educated people in the US. Which includes me.

Wait, you attack me and now it's my fault? Are you the kid who threw the egg at the car and when you got your ass kicked called the cops? I'm sorry for pointing out that my wife is cultured. She also plays the violin and piano. We both are church going folk who give much of our time and money to charitable causes. Do a look up for the area code 07028 and you'll see that my town would piss on your "area." I came from the gutter to get whwere I am and the hell if I'm going back. Yes, my wife is hot, we're both smart, hardworking, and complete people. You want to bait me and get me to respond aand you got what you wanted. Still doesn't change the fact that on substantive threads I've been kicking your teeth in, as well as many others. If you don't like losing there's a smuiple solution, it's called winning!

*sniffles* can you stop bitching at each other please? :mp5: *shoots everyone who is flaming the thread with her glorious tattoo in it*

Indeed I'm done with EO, see you in a thread of substance where you'll be trounced yet again. As for this thread. Nice tattoo, beautiful girl, and I'm still happily married.

so i've done trapeeze work, dance, sing, martial arts, modeled for four years before giving it up two years ago when i took an interest in acting, I've worked to get where i am. I also was a finalist in Miss Massachusetts Teen when i was younger, but who the fuck cares? Guys, honestly, no one cares about your resume. Start a new thread called 'i'm better than you' and post there. I just want feedback about my tattoo/design and get a damn medal.

So just stop.

I'm smarter, I work harder, and I'm just plain better than you EO.

And right there we have the maturity that the US tertiary education system engenders in its graduates summed up in a single line.

Tattoos aren't really my thing, but if you love yours then good for you. :)

Didn't bother reading past page 1, whole lot of busy bodies and nose pokers there. You're body, your business.

Nice design, looks good. Wouldn't have minded seeing a closer view.

Thanks ^^
You're welcome. I'm curious, what book is the symbol below the rose based on?

And right there we have the maturity that the US tertiary education system engenders in its graduates summed up in a single line.

Oh stop, I was being rude and crass just for the sake of it. I do not regard myself in this way. It was only to piss EO off because of his incindiary comments towards me.

peoples :-( my tattoo...no flaming :-(


ok a critique of your tat....I think it's a little high up.....I don't like roses but that's your choice(I hate skulls).... I don't like the tribal squiggly thing(subjective)....but I do like the overall shape and composition, nice size and proportioned to your body.....do you have a photo of your front side to show us;)

I bought my daughter a tat last week($500:eek: )I'm not wild about it and I would have done it differently.... but it's her body and she's delighted with it, and that's what is important...

Honestly that's all that matters. It looks well done, so if you're happy with it give yourself a medal. (I haven't read the whole thread by a long shot, so I really don't even know what that means of it was appropriate.

ok, you got your medal already and your tattoo is very nice. I was attempting to comment on it before EO basically attacked you and then me. I am a bit nervy today due to lack of sleep and a heavy workload. Love the tat amd as long as it makes you happy then screw everyone else as they don't matter.

I love roses. I love tribal

found your picture, very nice!!!!........I can be unmarried on weekends!!:rolleyes:

favorite book series huh?

yup

yup

i thought the tat was supposed to cover the entire back in the book, but the artist's rendition on the cover looks like yours. But yours is good too :P

ever read terry goodkind or robert jordan's stuff?

Enough to know a wanker when I spot one. And his sock puppet.

I can only guess that sock of yours is rather sticky.

No I haven't. I didn't want to get it exactly like the character in the same way simply because it would be weird. I wanted it on my upper back for various reasons, and the petals different.

No I haven't. I didn't want to get it exactly like the character in the same way simply because it would be weird. I wanted it on my upper back for various reasons, and the petals different.

are they diff? been a long while since i've read the book. just recognized the cover art... guess it's like that stuff you see where it's similar to something, but not quite that object... either way :p recognized it immediately. They're good authors in the sci/fi fantasy genre. Sword of Truth and Wheel of Time respectively...

My tattoo artist knew the artist who did the original art, contacted him, got the original design for the book, then she portioned it out, changed the detailing and such and i got it done. I was really lucky to be paired up with her because of her connections and talent. Anyway, i'm really pleased ^^

Also, Phedre's tattoo had crimson in it in various places.

Well, I for one think body mods are a "want" not a "need".

If you don't like the body that you were born with, and feel compelled to make permanent or semi-permanent modifications, you should start with your brain first.
The body I was born with weighed less than 8 pounds. I'm not saying that I dislike that body, mind you, but I hope you will understand that I have made some changes to it over the years.

As for decorative modifications, I figure it's up to individual taste. I find piercings and tattoos very interesting (and often very attractive), and I have few of my own.

I've experienced more painful and lasting ill effects from eating a poor diet than I have from any of my "body mods," and I've been at far greater medical risk simply due to living in a city all my life than I have been from getting any of my piercings or ink.

It's possible to get stupid piercings or tats. It's possible to get pierced or inked in a profoundly stupid way, or for profoundly stupid reasons. But that's pretty much true of every single thing humans can choose to do with their bodies: there's always a way to be stupid, and there are always going to be people who go the stupid rout. Meh.

I was 2lbs 8 oz when i was born.

Yeah, not gonna regret that when you're 80...
Maybe if it were a faerie on your ass or something, sure, but I don't think that's of much concern for people who carefully select ink that is meaningful to them.

You know, that looks very familiar. I think I may have read that book at some point.

In regards to the original subject, I think your tattoo looks awesome. If it makes you happy, enjoy it. :)

it's a pretty decent series... specially if you like descriptions of sex. It's not like a harlequin romance novel, but it's got good descriptions.

staring at a tat on a ladies back while you're having err, um.....you know....sends chills down you spine and that's waaaay hot !....

I like it alot. Looks great, looks like it was well done, and has meaning to you. Bueno.

Although this isnt of course universally true, in my life i have noticed an inverse relationship to the number of tattoos someone has and thier IQ. Just one tattoo only seems to be an exception but when it gets more then that the rule seems to kick in.
I go to a top university and have two tattoos, with plans to get many more.

Amazingly, getting ink injected into your skin in now way influences nor is influenced by IQ.

I don't usually combat other's views upon art, but tattoos suck! I'm sorry to hear that your chance of dying of infection has risen %66 percent along with back pains!Nice made up stats. Cute, really. There is only a short period where a tattoo can be infected. Infection rates are low, particularly if done in a clean place. Having a tattoo on the spine is in no way related to back pain, as that is related to the disks between the bones, not the skin that covers them.

Wellesley then transferred to Bryn Mawr. Next year Columbia Med.Wellesly scares me :(

Neither Wellesley nor Bryn Mawr are Ivy League schools. Good luck in New York, though.Actually, Wellesley is often listed as part of the ivy league as one of the smaller liberal arts schools, as opposed to the large ones such as Yale.
I do love it. i will love it even more once it heals and i can sleep on my back again.
give it 3 or 4 days. After 6 or 7, it will look weird untill you shower, when you will get a handful of black skin. it's fun.

amen.

I also know it will peel around seven days, but in two weeks it won't hurt like it is right now, and i can actually wear a non backless shirt. which i'm looking forward to immensely because its freezing outside =)

yeah...two weeks it will be bascially fully healed.

Just make sure you do not scratch at it. Have a friend slap it instead.

For my back, I wore a usual t-shirt, and that worked fine. the only time it sucked was when I got stuck outside for a concert and it rained. It was fine after I ripped out the tag

it really doesn't bother me. luckily they forgot to put me on schedule to work this next week so i get to relax before christmas, and then go back when its healed =)

my daughter has just gone through the peeling stage, she's happy to be able to sleep on her back again and the itching was making her cranky.....

I hate not being able to sleep on my back.

If you sleep on your stomach, do you have to keep the sheets off your back too?

for the first day you have a bandage on the tattoo after that it's ok for a sheet to touch it but it's still sensitive(according to my daughter, the big baby:rolleyes: ) hers was on her lower back so she pulled her jeans down to stop it rubbing....I didn't think it was possible for her to wear her jeans any lower than she already does....

from below her beltline to halfway up her back, the opposite of Rave.....

oh yeah......but I can't expect her to be any different than me when I was young.....and she's 18, an adult, so what can I say.....

I hate lower back tattoos. I find them so tackey. but that is my opinion. I believe my friend's term to describe them really covers it. "ass antlers (http://static.flickr.com/35/92580336_01c071b07c_m.jpg)"

sleeping on my stomach is uncomfortable

Rather nice looking. My daughter got a tattoo of a tiger's head on her left shoulder when she was in France, I wish she had gotten a rose.

Nah, silicone feels weird in your hands and mouth. :p
Cluich, I would have though you'd know that they don't use silicone anymore. Saline all the way.
I mastered the art of smuggling alcohol into games. ;)

Y'know those boxes of wine? Rip out the foil bag inside. Stuff it down your pants so the spout is right by the zipper. Open your fly for refills. Looks like you're pissing and drinking it, but who's gonna question it? :D
I have to do that some day, but with wine, so it looks kinda like I'm pissing blood and drinking it.
expelling the myth: having it done on your spine does NOT hurt worse than when you aren't on the spine. I have the top of the stem, that little curve, a lot of line work was done there and that is the only thing that really hurt because of that.
Not that I have a tattoo, but I've heard that how much it hurts depends no how much fat and muscle there is under the skin, so getting your arm tattooed would hurt less than your ankle.

Back on topic, that is a pretty cool tattoo.

Back off topic, if I do get a tattoo I'm probably gonna get one that only shows up under UV light. It ups the coolness and lowers the "ZOMG that's gonna look sooooo shit when you're old and wrinkly!"

my daughters opinion too but hers is different than the common antlers.....it curves up her spine ....a koi that morphs into a dragon.....

I like the tattoo in the OP. I thought it was quite sexy and elegant.

People seem to have odd ideas about tattoos. I wonder about this. Because most times that I have found out that someone else had tattoos, I had already decided to be intimate enough with them that such things could no longer matter.

Finding a tattoo such as yours, Rave Shentavo, would be a pleasant surprise.

pain depends on the person getting it and where you get it......I have one on my chest, for me it was no more than a warn feeling, I've seen others on Miami Ink moaning in pain:rolleyes: maybe I'm just a hard bastard....

to avoid tattoos looking like shit when you're older....stay out of the sun,UV destroys the crispness of tattoos.....avoid small details, a bigger tattoo will stay nice, a tat with lot's of small details will blur together over time.....

If I do get one it'll be something I designed myself, and since I am very lacking artistic ability I will not be doing anything too detailed.

Will not blur if you get it done right and with 1/8th of an inch in between lines like mine.

trust me on this.... all tattoo's blur......if properly done the blurring will have a minimal effect on the design......

it shouldn't .....if you watch Miami ink they always refuse to do small details because of blurring....yours is big enough that blurring shouldn't affect the look, but it will soften over time....

I've never seen it.

Hello all,

Let me say first and foremost that tattoos are both an expression of the tattooist and the person getting the tattoo. Typically, tattoos have been an expression and have reasoning. During the late 90's, however, they took a turn for the worse, as they became 'hip' and 'cool'. It was also during this time that they opened up to a much larger audience.

Now, there are still people out there that look down on them, because they are too closed-minded to believe that expression can be done through a tattoo gun. If you are one of these people, then you have my greatest sympathy. Only when you are under the tattoo gun, feeling the adrenaline pumping through your veins, can you truly understand the point of getting one.

It's not like when you get your ears pierced. They have meaning. Unlike the people that pierce random parts of your body, for no particular reason, short of 'Hey, man. It's f***ing cool, dude.'. Tattoos have, since their inception, been a way of expression for people.

I, personally, have 8 tattoos with plans on getting more. Each of them have a reason, like the person that started this whole thread in the first place. Tattoos aren't just needles and ink, they're a lifestyle. If you have a problem with that, I've heard that Cuba needs more workers.

Sincerely,
~TnD~

Oh? Well, I went to an ivy league college and will be in med school next year.
I got it on my back just low enough so that i can wear scrubs and it won't be seen, i can wear a business outfit and it won't be seen either.

Lovely tattoo ;)
Yeah, I don't get the IQ / tattoo correlation that that other fellow was trying to make. *shrug* I'm going for my PhD in Forensic Psychology, have a tattoo, and am making plans for tattoo #2. :D I had mine done a little over two months. Fantastic job, it didn't even scab.

I really like that tattoo.

@OP - Nice tattoo. I at the very least respect anyone who can go through that kind of pain. And I'm also a fan of the rose, so I heartily approve of the design.

Hey, here's a question for my fellow ink-wearing folk:

I got a tat on the inside of my wrist about 3 years ago. It's black ink only. It healed swiftly and cleanly, no infection or problems.

From time to time, though, the tat seems to get a little irritated or something. It gets raised up, sort of like how it felt just after it was done, and is a little bit ichy or sore to the touch. This has happened maybe half a dozen times since I got it done, and always subsides within a few hours.

Does this happen to anybody else?

Actually, Wellesley is often listed as part of the ivy league as one of the smaller liberal arts schools, as opposed to the large ones such as Yale.

I could list Oral Roberts University or the New England Tractor Trailer Training School as an Ivy League school if I wanted to, but it wouldn't make it so.

never happened with mine but I've read about it happening to others so it's not uncommon......if you have doubts see a dermatologist....black ink tattoos are the easiest to remove if necessary....

I've never seen it.

if money were no object I'd fly down to Miami for my tattoo, the people are Miami Ink are excellent....there are tattoo artists that just stick on a tattoo and and collect their money....then there are true artists that consider the big picture and how the tattoo will fit your body, and advise you on your choice and even refuse to do it if they disagree, that's Miami Ink.....

AND If you happen to be closer to NYC, try Last Rites. Paul Booth and his guys are gods among tattoo artists (Dan Marshall did mine). A bit more expensive than most, but it's worth every penny. Very professional (*gasp! you go for a consultation first, no walk -ins :eek: )

I love it mate. I'm getting a tattoo, along with an ear, and nose piercing, when I'm 18.

Hang on, NETTTS aren't an Ivy League school? The bastards lied to me!

Awesome, I'll have to remember that one.

HEY! that reminds me, I can get a tat now!

I promised to various family members that I wouldn't get one until I was 25, and today I am!

*thinks about her tat choices*

So I got my tattoo yesterday, and while its excessively sore to move, I love it.

Ravelyn's Tattoo (http://profile.ak.facebook.com/v52/828/26/n10302344_2876.jpg)

I was wondering what people thought of it. The symbol of a rose has personal connections with me that run deep through my past while the symbol is based off of my favorite book and altered by the artist slightly. Comments please.

I think it is very nice... nto that I personally care for the design myself, but it is good looking, and was clearly well-done

I will also not say that you are foolish for merely wanting art on your body, especially in a concealable spot, the body does not determine the IQ, for those that think more tattoos must mean less intelligence

and as far as potential removal, I hope that it looks good for you, and that you enjoy it for the rest of your life, as it will be there for the duration

I have wanted the same tat since I was 7-8 years old which was when I make "the promise" I said if I still wanted the same tat in the same place when I was 25 I would get it, and they said if I waited that they wouldn't give me any crap about it.

I still want the same tat in the same place, but hubby wouldn't like it, so I am going to get something else, although it could take me another 5 years to decide what.

You do know by posting this much you are required by law to tell us what tattoo you wanted and where, right?


And compromise with hubby by agreeing to get a "Property of Mr. Smunkee" tattoo on your ass ;)

on my hip right about where my jeans rest a spider. hubby is deathly afraid of them though and he is scared he might wake up in the middle of the night and see it half asleep and freak out.

I offered that to him (well, something similar) and he said if he died and I got remarried that it might be hard on 'new hubby' and trickle down into tension in the family and it would suck for the kids

I tried to explain that I wouldn't marry someone so stupid, but he is convinced that I will..........:rolleyes:

Good reason not to get it, he might try to squish it in his semi-conscious state. Which would be a not so nice way to be woken up.

The other option would be to wear pyjamas ;)

Lol, this just reminded me of the girl who got "I fucked Tucker Max"(or words to that effect) tattooed......well, you can guess where. Apparently she gets more sex because of it, IMS.

they are ok on some, but not on others
i have seen some poeple who shouldn't have got them :eek:
