if God didn’t want us to get tattooed, why would he have made the idea possible to be conceived in the first place?

Who says it was HIM that came up with that idea? 😀

Although perhaps not particularly pertinent to this post, this talk of the reaper and colors has reminded me of the opening lines in an (so far) awesome book that I’m reading; Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief.
I have pondered if I should make this opening into a tattoo somehow, because it resonates with me in some odd way. Like Sherav says, death is…[Read more]

Any capable tattoo artist will be able to expand that tribal easily. Go find an artist to tattoo and he’ll design and ink.

First off, I think that’s one awesome concept for a tattoo. I selfishly hope it’ll be useful as a coverup, so that I may see it in ink 😀

As for the B/G and yellow, that’s exactly how I would picture it myself. Death and the river of life all being dark and moody and eerie, it would entirely fit as B/G. A lantern’s yellow glow would also make…[Read more]

Its like them random flashcards…….to see what you make of it.

LOL.. yes! It’s a Rorschach test. We’re all being tested 🙂

It’s like a clash of two styles… tribal meets kindergarden.

To me, this just does not work together at all. Both are made uglier by their arrangement with the other.

What are they going to do – force you to laser it off :rolleyes:

They’re the evil anti-pirates of Metallica… they just might 😀

I’ve never been to one of those things. Does it have a webpage or something that I could read a little about it? Maybe I’d like to pop on over the pond and see it.

would praying hands with rosery beads and my strength and then your boys names under be less memorial ?

I don’t know if it’s just because I’m agnostic or what, but I view all religious symbols with names as mortality symbols. And I don’t think I’d want a constant reminder of the mortality of my children.

Go for a bunch of black lines crisscrossing in fluid patterns. That should look cool.

I told ya before, I won’t charge anything for drawing up the design, so I’ll sketch it up anyways. I’ll hit you on here with progress, and you can tell me what you would like changed. Then you can just lock it away until you decide to get it.

Not sure I noticed you saying that before, but thank you for that offer. I would…[Read more]

You could always have a thigh piece!

Very true, sir, but the whole start of the process was that I thought I’d like to have my upper arm tattooed. Having something else tattooed will not quench the thirst as well and I’ll still be mooning for the arm-piece. As I don’t swim in money I think I will at least have to give some…[Read more]

Morning guys.

Been traveling this weekend and been AFK, so I haven’t been able to get back to you.

Sherav:

Thanks a bunch for those links. I had never heard of Ice Dragons before but I am loving the concept and I think choosing an Ice Dragon would be even more befitting for the whole Icelander theme. The Wax Dragon is, as you say, probably an…[Read more]

It would be nearly impossible for you to properly care for it. Got any good friends that would help you out? 😉

Thought as much :S

Non unless I take a week off work and drive the 300 miles to my hometown where my family is.

Guess I won’t be doing a backpiece while I’m single then 🙁

Day ran away from me, so just a run-through answer for now.

Sherav: I wouldn’t mind seeing some more western dragons if they’re easy to find, but don’t go through any trouble to find it. I’ve lost hope that I’ll find a western dragon that fits my needs. I may just have to make one.

Injun: The flag’s stripes would be carved into the shield.…[Read more]

it really depends on if you want people to see it , i personally would go for the back (unless you have a bigger detailed idea for your back )

im a fat bastid with ink…. does that make me heavily tattood :p

Not in it self, but is probably makes you look scary 😀

Hey thanks Injun, that idea is now stolen and implemented 😀

Your last pic is somewhere in the general direction of my thinking, altough it’s still a tad too ‘toony’ for me. Or maybe it’s just that it’s positioned like a hungry cat waiting for it’s master to feed it 🙂

The second one is a bit froggy and the topmost is all skinny and frail…[Read more]

Well, that’s partially true.

A male will (on average) stop growing somewhere around 20-21 years, at which time he will have reached an average of 6′ (180cm) in height. The average growth rate from 15 to 20 years of age, is 4″ (10cm). So if you still have 4″ to go, physics, biology and statistics state that you can be no older than 16 or 17, and…[Read more]

This may be a stupid question, but since you’re still growing…. aren’t you then WAY too young to be having tattoos?
