Tattoo. Whos got some??

[Kujo]

This may be geared to our 18 (17)+ crowd depending on where you are int he world but uh... I was wondering, who here at GF has some inkwork done?

[Samus-Fan]

Oh yea, I have tons. See, I got this one at the carnival. It was a hassle to get that rag and leave it on for 5 minutes.
Then I got this dragon one from a machine, and it is starting to come off

[LiNuX]

my mom wouldn't mind if i get a tattoo but my dad would kill me lol - but may be later in my life, after i become rich and famous lol

i know a few good tattoo artists around here

lol are you talking about real tattoos?

[rukisuto]

I don't have any right now, but I plan too in the future.
If you got some, you got to follow up with some pictures :]

I want a tattoo; I plan on getting one the day I graduate high school. I'm going to get the Chinese symbol for death on my left arm.
A triforce would be cool but I know I would grow out of it eventually. If I get tired of the Chinese symbol for death tattoo, I can just tell people it means something else.

I'm getting one hopefully when I graduate of a cool skull that is on my hat :) Gonna put it on my upper arm

[Kiss]

I can't wait to see little old ladys in nursing homes covered in tattoos. Lol.

In order, thats a huge bad ass dragon on the right side of my rib cage. It's actually the last tattoo I've gotten and that was back in '04. The anime chick is a tattoo my (biological, meaning I hate his effing guts) dad payed for when I graduated highschool back in '03. Currently it looks 100x more kickass due to a recoloring +full shoulder background that I had added to it. The dragon was actually my very first tattoo and it sits on my right shoulder. I got that the day after I turned 18. Lastly, the skull thingy is a tattoo I got while in AIT (advanced individual training {the school you go to after basic training to learn your job}). Its on the inside of my right forearm. There is actually a 5th tattoo that I've never gotten a picture of but its on my right shoulder blade. Its a military tattoo thats hard to describe so here is a picture of the original artwork...
http://www.rjcote.com/roger/airbornepics/follow_me.jpg Thats the Ft. Benning (Home of the Infantry) "logo" where I went to basic training. Basicly, if you remove the words "Follow Me", and wrapped a cobra around the sword, you'd have the tattoo that myself and my entire graduating platoon got the day we graduated BCT (Basic Combat Training).

I have 2 more tattoos planned for the near future. The first is:

I want that on my calf. Changed slightly. Not sure I like my flag being engulfed in flames like that.

And the 2nd is:

I haven't decided on body placement for this one just yet but I'm thinking either down my spine, or the outside of a thigh.

The one down your side is awesome.
My cousin is a tattoo artist, so I'm planning on having him do mine.
He's littered with tattoos he does himself.

[wifi]

i dont have a tattoo lol but kujo's are awesome, you inspire me to get a tattoo lol

[LiNuX]

those look awesome kujo, i have a bunch of friends with tattoos (not counting the tattoo artists I know) and one has his name written on his forearm - it looks chinese but if you look carefully, it's actually english lol, it looks cool

i may get the first three letters of my name on my arm if i get the chance - in chinese though, none of the illusions lol

Yea, its my favorite. It took 3 sessions at 2 hours a piece. 1 for the outline. 1 for the black shading, and one for the color. Side tattoo = THEE worst pain i've ever experienced in my life, and I've had my share of broken bones. I once shattered my elbow in a car accident and that hurt less than getting my side tattoo. On the outline I actually passed out from the pain and the artist had to break open one of those ammonia smelly sticks to wake me up.

The crazy part tho, its not done. i still have one more session that i've been waiting over 4 years to get done because I don't want to sit through that much pain again... and worse than that, the 2nd of my "next to get" tattoos, I want on my other side. and that one makes the one I have now look like a baby tramp stamp.

[Toby83]

lol go to like Miami ink or something they are amazing, no i don't have any but i might want to get one someday, lol once i saw a guy with a Chinese symbol o the back of his neck walking in front of us and my dad knows some chinese and he said that it was a bad word xD they guy looked American maybe a little Irish lol i bet he didn't know what it said and just thought it looked cool lol.

I always thought that hurt like a b--ch.
What else do you have to do to that one?

Ok, first of all.. I would NEVER go there. EVER! Unless I really wanted to get ripped off and get sub-par work done for a ridiculous price. Having a TV show does not make you a good tattooist nor does it mean your shop is worth a crap. I know so many underground tattoo legends that laugh at those morons. Such a huge pile of crap!

"Hurt like a b--ch" only scratches the surface on the pain I was in. As far as what else I have to add to it... see the parts of the dragon where you can still see my skin tone.... those blank spots are missing color. I also wasnt to add blue highlights to the water to make it stand out more.
