Makes me think of Aslan. Do wanna see pix as work continues, but looks GREAT so far. I vote you stay monochromatic.

Awesomely cool. I like it!

I think it looks fine. I do understand about B&W – my one and only tattoo so far is monochromatic. Next one will be color – but I think yours is fine.

I think it varies by person. I barely felt my “tramp stamp” when the artist was working directly over the spine – but it hurt like “Billy-Oh!” when she was outboard over the flanks.

I’d heard others who had the exact opposite experience – so YMMV…

The Nazis used tanned, tattooed (with the notorious numbers) skin to make lampshades…

That’s probably true most places – big whoop. I’ve had some very interesting conversations with guys who thought I was gay for one reason or another, its a fascinating look into the human psyche. I’ve…[Read more]

Now, now – there’s nothing at all wrong with a tramp stamp on a guy. I have one. I’m even straight. Deal with it! 🙂

Like anyone’s going to click on this sh!t anyways…:mad:

I would love to know why people stare? The summer is the worst, if I have on a wifebeater etc… People that come up and start touching me is even worse yet:mad:

Dude. They’re not staring at your tattoo, they’re staring at your wifebeater!

Does anyone have experience of lower back vs. nape of neck?

What if you have a lacy tattoo? Or a tattoo of lace? Is that a tat tatt? Or if its on a breast, is that tit for tatt? Or a tatt of tat on a tit? 😀

I really feel for you, and your co-workers. I just can’t imagine working under conditions like this – I hate long sleeves!

that is why you see so many guys with lower back tattoos///////////

Yep. Like me. Anyone who doesn’t like it, can kiss what’s immediately below it. If my wife doesn’t nail them first – she’s got a mean left hook!

Feminine-schmeminine…

A friend has the Goddess Mother tattooed between her shoulderblades, another has a pentacle.

Go with a tramp stamp classy at any age.

+1. I like mine – I think everyone should have one!

One of our dance sisters got my wife and myself hooked on this thing – darn her! :rolleyes:

I even went and took the online test to see which character I was most like…

Sookie. Sigh… Wrong gender to start with…

That is a beauty – and I too am curious about the pain level. Looks like it would hurt as much or more than a lower back tat (my only reference point at this time).

They mean whatever they mean to the owner. I have black roses, 3 of them. They do indulge my inner Goth – true enough – but in my case I was more after the symbiology of 3. What do black roses mean to YOU?
