TAT TAT TATTTED UP Options

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Where do you think are good places to get tattoos ? For girls ? For boys ? Whats stupid/inappropriate ? Whats meaningful ?

Im getting a tattoo this weekend, on Saturday and Im getting the words " Only God knows " on the back of my neck, under the hairline. My brother told me it was a bad idea and now im not sure, but before i get a tattoo i want to be dead sure this is what i want, bcus itll be with me forever ( cus i sure as hell am not getting it burned off ). What are your opinions ?

Any other places you suggest ? I dont want them on my back, cus 1) its scarred and 2) im fat and my back is all nasty. Same for my arms, they are fat and like jelly and make me self-conscious and want to kill myself, so no lol. No ankles or legs either, cus I just personally feel that those areas are not my style and not where I want to get tatted.

you made me laugh lol.

so what.

fat guys have tats on there arms
it looks nice

if you want some on your legs or wherever
loose weight so you wont feel selfconsious.

umm but legs would be good
and arms too


for girls the back mostly

and the legs

[*Michelle*]

Eh.
Honestly, that tattoo sounds super lame. I like the idea of having it under your hairline (I plan on doing something there), but there are way more many creative things than just that saying.


I love tattoos behind the ear and on the foot. I'm getting bows on each foot as my first tat ^_^

Do you plan on using the new ink?

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Haha, i just dont feel that arms or legs are for me. I WAS going to get it above my heart, but that basically means my boob, and since I wanted it, I started noticing other women with it ( yknow how that happens ? ) and older women, in their 20s - 30s and a few even older women and it looked so trashy and not cute at allll. With their saggy veiny bags. Haha so niiiix that. I wanted to then get it across my collar bone, but that would be real hard to hide when i wear tank tops and stuff lol plus i want to get ' live the life you love, love the life you live ' there if i ever would.

Michelle - Haha AWWW ! I think its meaningful for my life haha. Its meant to mean ' Only God knows about the pain deep inside ' which is a lyric ive aaalways referred to and liked a lot. And, what do you mean new ink ?

Well, as long as you do it in a good font! haha. Some are just so tacky, I feel so bad for them.

There's a new ink out that most tattoo artists call "pussy tattoos" b/c they are VERY easy to be removed (which means they're not "as permanent). The ink also does not blue-over or fade, which is a GREAT thing. I think I'm going to use it for my first tat, b/c I hate how faded tattoos looks. Plus, if I regret it 30 years from now, it can be removed with the sweep of a laser!

[MissFits]

I love tattoos! I already have a few but I want A LOT more.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Thats hella interesting ! I dont think my artist does/has new ink tho .. I'll probably ask him about it on Saturday. Im still debating the neck or not. Ive been thinking of my hip but thats so cliche and again, the whole fat factor. NOT CUTE !

Its going to be in cursive, just plain, elegant cursive. Im also thinking of maybe doing music notes across my collar bone to my shoulder instead for my first tat, cus im getting that too, i was just doing the neck one for my first. Im so indecisive ! And i want to be SURE of it !

[*karmakiller*]

I think as long as it's something meaningful to you, then I don't see why you shouldn't get it. The only thing that I wish people would think about more is the location and the fact that it's going to be there forever (besides expensive and long removal). The biggest thing that I stress with my friends is the location, because most of them are young and they don't know what their future careers or jobs are going to be and you want it somewhere that you can cover it up. I think the neck is a good location... but maybe not for words like that...

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

^ Why do you say so ?

I thought the neck was good too, because I could cover it easily with wearing my hair down or, if needed to for work, with a lot ponytail tied back.

Yeah, ask your artist. I only know of one place in Houston that uses the new ink; the other salons are too "hardcore" to use it

Tiny music notes would be so cute! I think giant ones are overdone and ugly, but charm sized teeny weeny music notes would be adorable!

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Haha, Michelle you are hella convincing me to do the music notes. I want those on my chest, but to the far side where kinda my arm is, and then going up to the tips of my shoulders. I also want it to be actual notes from a composition, cus ive been in choir since kindergarden and it is a HUGE part of my life.

[ChadDevil]

you should go see kat von d

[*stephinika*]

I think the back of the neck is fine...do you mean right below your hairline though or like top of the back/bottom of your neck? Just curious.

But maybe think it over longer instead of getting it this weekend if you're still so unsure.

And thats the first I've heard of that new ink...sounds interesting!

[*Spencer*]

I thought of the idea for my tattoos last minute and still like them 5 months later.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

Ive been thinking about it for a while, since before summer. Sigh .. this is so hard, but as it should be for something like a tattoo.

And, below the hairline, above the little bump where you spin starts/above where your shoulders are.

I think im going to end up getting the music notes if my choir teacher has the sheet music I want.

[cyb3r0ptik]

if it means something to YOU, then it's not a stupid idea...
but if you need to ask the opinion of everybody else before getting it done, then i wouldn't suggest it. it sounds like something you just thought of, and haven't put any thought into.

[Tung]

i'm considering a butterfly tattoo on my lower back; what yall think about that?

[*alovesopure*]

^ TRAMP STAMP! (in most cases, atleast)

[dustbunny]

wow tung, you're such a skank!

[lidoxtitty]

[EddieV]

I want a small V on my forearm.

i want music notes, or a treble clef.


if i do get a tat, i want it done with henna ink. apparently they fade after 10 years.

i was born in hong kong.

so i want a tatoo on my penis, that says MADE IN HONG KONG!

[annalucky]

^OUCH. I heard that if you get it on the foot it really hurts..

[EmoEyelinerx]

i was born in hong kong.

Wow..

I think the best places for girls are on their ancle, on their back (not a tramp stamp) or on their neck.

For a guy I think its best to get one on the arm, neck, or their back somewhere.

[misoshiru]

RLY? i'm from hong kong.

[1angel3]

For girls I think it should be their lower back or shoulder blade.

[cyb3r0ptik]

my hubby has
one arm being worked for full sleeve
other arm half sleeved
2.5 foot tattoo that covers his back (not finished)
one calf
2 on his chest

aaaand that's all i can think about at the moment.

i think that tattoos are a very personal choice, no matter if you showcase them to the world or not. its what you do to YOUR body.

[Simba]

I remember a comedian joking about how his mother got a tattoo of the last supper on her stomach and as she got older and fatter, it turned into the last feast.

[*tripvertigo*]

tung - i was actually going to get one that says Made in Vietnam.. my friend Cha has one that says Made in Taiwan on her arm, and a few of us were going to follow suit and make a new all girl gang in which its members wear kimonos all day every day, and steal candy from childen.

but then we decided not to.

anyway, for christmas, my boyfriend and i are getting each other tattoos. he's getting a katana down his back, and im getting two koi fish on my waist, because my brother's name is Khoi and he's always taken care of me, and also because it's good fortune.

[*Insurmountable*]

wtf my post didn't go through >_>

Anyway I want a tatoo, a small one. Nothing huge. I want it on top of my foot or on my back or something.

I want it with these mountains and words:


and possibly one of these:
Probably end up about the size of a post it.


If I got any type of tatoo of course I would travel to one of the bests. I would never mark my body and end up with something that looks like shit. >_>

[Tung]

trish - you are half viet only though

[*karmakiller*]

LOL, Tung, I don't think you have enough room for that tattoo

When i get a tattoo i'm going to start out with something small. Most people that I go to school with want to get a tattoo when they turn 18 and quite a few of them have tattoos from mexico.

The koi fish sound hellla awesome since they have hella meaning. and dont they mean good luck and fortune or something in chinese too ? Im getting mines done TOMORROOOOW !!! Nervous.

[Tung]

RLY? i'm from hong kong.

Yeah. I was born in HK. Are you living in HK right now?

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

MY TAT IS DONEEEE. I actually drew it myself, and he just traced it onto some special paper and used this stuff to transfer the ink tracing from the paper to my skin, and after some adjustments, he started going ! I was a little nervous getting down to it, but when he pressed his foot on the little thing that starts the drilling noise, i got SUUUPER nervous and my hands got all clammy and cold, and my hands are always freakishly warm, so you KNOW i was nervous ! But, it barely hurt at all. It was like hot scratches and in certain places where it was more tender, it was like sharp pricks. But otherwise, it was allll good. Im now in love with my collarbone/shoulder !

[*stephinika*]

Ooh you got it?? Post pics!

[Tung]

If its in an private area, its okay. Please still show :)

[*Michelle*]

I'm thinking of getting the Across the Universe strawberry I really liked that movie and all the music. :]
