Yeah I was asking how much it would hurt.

It's ok though guys, nevermind. I found a tattoo machine while I was walking out of K-mart yesterday. Now I just lick and stick and proudly walk in front of the biker bar :P

I did that once....But, it started raining and things got real
runny om me arms and it started looking like sort of like
abstract art, then it sort of looked like a rainbow sleeve,
some of de bikers was winking at me. The thing that come
into my mind was, Run Forest Run! Run Forest Run! So I did!
:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm 15 and noticed Charles Manson used to have wild orgies with hot hippie babes, and he put a swastika on his forehead, and I want to have orgies too, so I'm putting a swastika on my forehead --- and if anyone in school or at work judges me I'll tell them that I'm free and they should fuck off...

im guna put this question in here so no-one moans at me :lol:

anyways just wanted abit of advice.....basicly, my next tattoo.
i have disided to leave getting the heratage tattoo till in afew years
reasons for this are;
more time to do research into family history etc
AND
more time to work at the design and make it PREFECT

however i am still going to get a tattoo, ive always really loved celtic designs and ive planned to get one at some point. so im going to get my celtic next instead :)
im going to ask my artist to mix up two things into one...hard to explain ill get a pic soon when i get it drawn up :) but anyway im torn as to where to put the tat so i was woundering if you guys would give me your opinions....

1-on my right arm....i already have two on my left arm and this would even it out abit, HOWEVER it been in the back of my mine for a LONG time that i might like to have a sleeve one day so im thinking leave my right arm for now at least......

2-back of my leg, on the calf. but from what i understand this is a place which will distort the tattoo IF i grow anymore. i also have afew strech makes there and im not sure about how that will look.

3-bottom of my ribs....so my stomach/chest type area....atm im loosing abit of weight, but by the time i go for the tat i will (most likely) have lost it....but will it change the shape of the tattoo if my body changes?

obiously ill make the disisionmy self but if anyone has anything to add or is willing to give me their opinion that would be good.... :)

thanks in advance :wink:

Kpow, your question would best be answered by yourself or
your artist as per size, shape of your tattoo design.
Of course since you may get a sleeve later on your right
arm, probably best to not place your next tattoo there.
You would have to lose or gain alot of weight for a tattoo in
certain areas to change shape. There is a thread somewhere
down the line on weight and tattoos.
Excercise your brain power dear and i'm sure you will come
up with what's best for you... Best of luck!

I think that's usually what it amounts to when someone asks about it, they're basically extending a hand to be accepted into the forum--which is fine. Man. You know what? Apathy has set in. :?

ill just carry on talking to myself about it then.... :oops:
i dont have anyone one to talk to about it apart from my artist, none of my family have tattoos....well my grandma has a dot on her arm where she NEARLY got one :lol: and my friends dont have tattoos and the ones that want to get one dont look at tattoos the same as me.....so i thought it might be usful to have a place to bounce my ideas around.....

....perhaps if i think of a more stupid question...... :lol:

Just Bumping this up to the top, there seem to once again be a large number of "tattoo idea", "help me find a tattoo idea" and "I need a tattoo idea" threads coming about again.

okay now I feel bad for asking for an idea :? ...but I actually ended up getting what I was looking for, and I found a tattoo idea I am really excited and motivated to go have done...so i realize that the repeated question of "what do I get" gets really old, but believe it or not, the input is really helpful.

We're not saying dont ask any questions, but how did you end up finding your image? Google and photobucket.com. When I went looking for my tattoo, I knew I wanted two butterflies, but beyond that I had no idea. Instead of coming on here and asking "hey I like butterflies what tattoo should I get?" I google searched, I photobucket searched, I poured over books at the library with images of butterfies, and yes read this forum. it took me almost 4 months of reasearch to figure out if I wanted natural or cartoony butterflies, if I wanted tribal or colored, what colors I wanted, did I want them wings out or to appear as if in flight? I finally walked into the shop I was going to, told the front desk girl I was looking for an artist, she asked what I was thinking, I told her butterflies, she took me to the artist who specalized in faires and butterfies and other girly type tattoos. I looked through her portfilio, talked with her and watched her tattoo someone. I spent almost 6 hours in that shop and never got a tattoo. I made my apointment with her, gave her the images I liked, and when I came in 4 days later for my tattoo, she had a few rough sketches drawn up. We worked for another 2 hours to make it what I wanted and she got to work. It sounds like a crapload of work, but I got exactly what I wanted and I didn't have to ask anybody what I should get. In the end, all we are saying is look into yourself to figure out what you want, we all like different things, and we all can't decide what everyone else should get. I mean my friend has snowflakes on her foot, I don't personally like them, but its not my body, so I don't care. She doesn't like butterflies, but she sat next to me while I got mine done, took pics and was supportive. To each their own! :lol:

Well I suggest getting one of your 15 year old "awesome" artist friends to draw you up a smudgy dirty sketch of a cow taking a shit, then go to Billy bob's trailer, have him grab his spin brush pro tattoo "gun" and lie back in his lazy boy while he whips up some ink for you out of the melted crayons of his kids, and wowee...you will have a kick ass tattoo, and lots of hep C forever! :roll:
