Tattoos, dicussion Options

[waccoon]

i was thinking about getting a tattoo <without my parents knowledge of course>. i saw an orante one around some guy's forearms - i dont know the name of it though. just thought i'd go here before i do anything. http://www.relache.com/body_art/devito/devito_forearm.gif something like that, only horizontal and .. yeah.


Do you have one/ want one? if you have one, do they hurt?

woot! tattoos are fun. just stingy and its permanent unless you get that removing thing but you still have scars.
i want a belly button peirce. i bought want this belly button ring (its SO pretty, it has like a baby blue stud, and then it has this like hanging line of jewels and it has blue and white gems with silver ... ) but its so scary!!! maybe one day wen i feel really mad, i'll get it for the releif of stress...

ah this is so irrelevant. anyways, i say you get it. its your choice, right? and your ... how old? i htink you can get one by yourself as long as your above the age of 15... ( my opinion of course)

[*CEP*]

There's this guy on this other forum I go to, he got a tatoo of the Master Sword from Zelda.
You should get one like that.

woah nice...well, just hope u get something with meaning or else you might regret it. My friend and I decided to draw out like a rough sketch of the tattos that we wanted to show that artist, so that u know...it`ll have "meaning" Don`t just get it outa impulse or juss cuz it`s "cool" K! ^.^ Ha..n don`t get all infected!! EEW! LoL

[waccoon]

i dont see how tattoos can get infected, but thanks

[silver]

I dont really like that one o_o no offense
it seems so... trite

i think those are called tribal...somethings ._.
but go off and do what you like!
i want a tattoo too! ahahah

[starling]

if you're gonna get one, find one you really really like. when i was thinking about getting mine, i did google seraches for patterns and stuff... ended up designing my own tho. check out tribals.com, they've got some patterns and stuff.

but make sure you find a reputable place for getting it done, tattoos can get infected if the needle isn't clean. and it's not fun if it's infected. not at all.

if you're not sure what you want, get it done in henna first (it's usually around $20) and see if it's something you want forever.

either way, have fun!

[ji_cabinx]

tattoos...eh...not my thing!!

[annchovie]

this is irrelevant, but have you heard that thing about lance bass? he got so scared when he was about to get a tattoo on his hand, that his friends had to hold him down. then when then needle touched him, he screamed and ran away. so now he has a DOT on his hand...(i think this is true)

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

My advice about tattoos: Wait a year, and if you still want that exact same one go for it.

[waccoon]

i've been craving that tattoo since i was six, when this guy working at a store had them.

[aud_chua]

hehe.. tattoos are really cool and all that.. but i wouldn't do it on myself.. the closest i'll get is using henna (indian stuff for tattoos that only last for like a week or two).
i'll post some of my tattoo designs.. i've been making a couple and i think that they're alright.. most of my friends who saw it said that they were "sick."
hahaha..! ( i never really liked that adjective... )

[pyrochick19770]

i dont see how tattoos can get infected, but thanks

well, a friend of mine`s got infected cuz of a botch needle...so yea. and also, the ink isn`t FDA approved so >.< yikes!

[waccoon]

well, a friend of mine`s got infected cuz of a botch needle...so yea. and also, the ink isn`t FDA approved so >.< yikes!

fda approved? you're not consuming the ink, i hope.

[da_confuzed_001]

oh its a nice tatoo..hehe u should get a zelda sword like the other person said. only if ur into it.

[kevinma03]

i would use marker and draw it on and see how you like it.

[NvieDi3ai3yGrL]

i want to get a few tattoos =] .. i'll get them probably over the summer :D

[angel-roh]

i hate tattoos...and i will never marry or go out with a guy who has a tattoo on their body... im not picky...it's true i dont like guys who have tattoos lols^^;;

[pyrochick19770]

fda approved? you're not consuming the ink, i hope.

lol oh no...but like she did a complete thorough research on this n printed MOUNDS of articles. and maybe not the FDA...but some other official place said that it wasn`t safe cuz the ink has some sorta..hmm i dunno..but i t could kill ya is all i know [n i`m not just talking bout if the needle`s infected]

[justin_park85]

i hate tattoos...and i will never marry or go out with a guy who has a tattoo on their body... im not picky...it's true i dont like guys who have tattoos lols^^;;

i dont really like girls when they have tattoos in their bodies too....haha... well if Susan has one....then I'll take it off hahaha....................... well she will never get one..........right, Susan? haha

[swtnpink]

tattoos are great! here's mine:



I got it during winter break of 2003 and i'm loving it more and more everday...

mainly because it's unique and it's not "typical - girlie" given that some guys gets freaked out when they see a "nice, sweet, little" girl have a tattoo like that... but the truth of the matter is, i'm not nice and sweet

i was so scared when i went in to get my tattoo but it didn't hurt at all... actually, certain parts kind of tickled me (i dont know why)

actually, at first it stings a little when the needle starts poking you, but it's a pain that you quickly get use to... eh, and i was watching the simpsons to help me keep my mind off things.

i really don't like tribals because it doesnt mean anything... unless you're native american and you're getting symbols that means something to you.

but eh, they do look good... it just doesn't mean anything...

if you're wondering why i got a black widow... it's because i like what they symbolize... dark, mysterious, seductive, dangerous... perfect for the inner me haha

Here are a couple of my friend's tattoos









tattoos get really addicting after you get ONE... because it gives you a really cool, natural kind of high... i really cant explain it... but when you get your first tattoo, you get such an undescribable, crazy feeling of pride =)

needless to say, beCAREFUL of what you get because you'll be stuck with it permanently.

for girls who wants to get a tattoo... my friend gave me this advice and i think it's something easily overlooked...

when choosing the place where you should get a tattoo... make sure it's somewhere that won't be seen when you wear a WEDDING dress... yea... don't forget about your wedding

and an advice to everyone thinking about getting a tattoo and is thinking about a professional occupation later in life... remember you can't have any tattos or piercing shown!

well, sorry for the long entry... i just know a thing or two about getting tattoos and i wanted to show off my tattoo

[dani41790]

tatoos r cool. i mite get one wen im older

[immersion31]

a tatoo, my cuzin got one of a fish. i wouldnt want one cuz wen u get old it gets weird

[m@dcow]

i don't really like tattoos but i'll probably get one before i die of old age... i hope..

[Tal_Dara]

There's this guy on this other forum I go to, he got a tatoo of the Master Sword from Zelda.
You should get one like that.

- Chinkieeyedpnoi

he got a tatoo of the master sword??? WOW...no offense to that guy but um, that just shows how big of a geek he really is . The day I get video games tatooed to me will be the day the world comes to an end. I am sorry If what I said was a dick thing to say but I just found it sort of dumb...master sword pshhhh.

[foreveranoutkast]

tatto's are really cool if you get them at the right place

[xislandxstylex]

i want on a tatoo of a plumeria on my lower back. or a gecko on my foot. but my mom would kill me if she found out i got one

[whomps]

i want a tattoo when i get older.. belly button pierce too ! for the tattoo, i'm thinking of something nice.. my name in chinese =) `phoenix.. or or like. i ono. haha a butterfly lol. i wanna put it like on my backk.. around the area where a girl's curves are? kinda hard to describe, but yeah. my sister has a belly button pierce :D it's pretty because she just bought a new.. thinger thing. haha :D

[Dr_Robotio]

But when your 40 your going to absolutely hate your tatoo cuz u realize that u were young, fruitful, yet naive...

Now i have to go finish my potty training...

BE GONE!

[jr0h]

i want tattoos badly. i have so many images that i want on my arms..

theres so many that i dont want to list. haha it'll take up a lot of space.

do you guys ever thought of getting one too? or ever..wanted one but cant?

[*Statistik*]

Um..no..what's the point of having tattoos on your skin? nothing changes

[jennyjenny]

No, I do not one any tattooes on me.
I heard it hurts like hell when you get it on...

And those druggies who have like, huge biceps with like, tattooes all around them scare the heck out of me

And then what if I don't want it anymore? Take another journey down pain street and do it all over again?

[Nicolatofu]

^^ it makes your skin more decorative!

i always thought about like a little butterfly or something on the smile of my back. but i'll never get that done, i'm too chicken

[ch33sylici0us]

I want a tatoo really bad. But its not like thats ever going to happen with strict parents and all.

[*stephinika*]

i'd like one in the future, but nothing huge. just a small one.

[xTINAA]

i would like to have one but i`m scared of getting one. haha like the needles and such. but if i were to get one ever, i think it would be something small, nothing big and fancy

[mirage]

nope, i don't want something that will permanently be on me unless i do some scary surgery to get rid of it... what's the point anyways? get some sticker tattoos, those are better, you can get a new style everyday.

[cmgchica717]

After I get married I plan on getting a tattoo of my initial and my husbands initial on my back. I also want to get a tattoo of a pink spider on my shoulder

[laur3nw]

I don't think so...I hate pain.

[jr0h]

well just to let you guys know. you can always take off the tattoo with laser surgery. which hurts more then putting it on i think..lol

[kellyannie]

I'll probably get a tattoo.. but I just don't know of what yet

[xj_liana_tx]

no, its painful, and a lot of people want them removed and its even more painful. it's really unhealthy for your skin. i'll just get some fake ones

[hiromi]

bah, I do want one, but I'm not allowed. Even if I were allowed and i would want one, i can't anyway, since my skin is horrible first of all. Just being cautious >_>

[sweetlyz]

i`ve already got one. if i could`ve gotten one before i was legal i would`ve but i couldn`t .. so i got a tat a few days after my 18th birthday, i also got my tongue pierced.




i`m planning on getting another tattoo as soon as i get enough money. it hurts a bit, but it gets addicting! the point is to relax as much as possible when you get inked .. if you tense up then it hurts more, just breathe and relax

btw: the tattoo is on my lower back .. the most common place every girl gets a tat. haha, but my next one is gunna be on the back of my neck -- that hurts like hell!!

[silver-rain]

yeah. i do want a tattoo- maybe in the future.

[inthemudhole]

I don't really care for tattoos. <_<

[yummy_delight]

i want one of a lightning bolt either at the small of my back or on my ankle.

but sadly i'm not allowed.

[xsweetxcandyx]

i want a faerie on my back... and a navel piercing.. my parents would say no.. just want till i'm 18..

[sweetest-emotion]

i soo want a tat when i get older. i already have it planned: 4 tatoos, a fairy that says "believe" on my lower back, a pentacle on my hip, a fairy with my gemini symbol on my ankle and a lil star on my hand. teehee.

[miszkristinexox]

i dont want one, im scared to get one.

[xx angelbabu xx]

nah i dont want one.. i wouldnt want my tatoo getting all wrinkly and gross when i get old... and plus, im too scared to get one anyway..

[ghjgfkgfk]

i hate lame tacky k3wL13zZ tattoos like butterflys or something out of a book. they have no meaning.

[pbear]

no because it would hurt and i'm too much of a wimp.

[dani41790]

im not sure if i really want one

[KissMe2408]

yah i def want one...i'm not aloud, but i only have a year left until i can get one on my own. I really wanna get a rose on my shoulder, or somethan on my lower back, i dunno i haven't decided yet

[*xcaitlinx*]

whats the point of graffitiing [not a word?] ur body? ur just putting toxins on ur skin. and u may want it wen ur young, but wen ur old ur gunna regret it

[1--GIRL]

Yeh, I would like a small one some day

[br0ken smile]

maybe, but probaly not

[*Kathleen*]

I hope you aren't trying to turn the lounge into the girls' locker room by adding all these polls here...and to answer your question, yes, I want one when I'm old enough to. I want to eventually acquire a whole sleeve...like my hero, Brody.

[*basick*]

not now.. maybe later

[ComradeRed]

I hope you aren't trying to turn the lounge into the girls' locker room by adding all these polls here...and to answer your question, yes, I want one when I'm old enough to. I want to eventually acquire a whole sleeve...like my hero, Brody.

Of WHAT?

[*Kathleen*]

Don't question my plan of action.

[Heathasm]

yes i do plan on getting a tattoo...one of my own designs only though

[SystemDamaged]

Yep, I'm definitly getting one once I hit 18. One of which I doodle constantly in my school agenda. It's got Johnny and Eminem's names included in it, and I know in the unwritten book of tattoo,s thou shall not get a tattoo of a name unless its your name or your childs, but I plan on getting lots of tattoos and using my body like a journal. So if I ever come to dislike Eminem or Johnny [OH THE HORROR!] I won't be mad that I have a tattoo of them because I can't deny that I've liked them for 5 years+

But I don't plan on getting tattoos EVERYWHERE. Maybe like 12 or 13.

[sweetxsimplicity]

Nope, but I kind of want like a cute, small butterfly tattoo on my back. =]

[LaNcEr x EvO]

i wouldnt want a tattoo. all it is is just stuff on your arm.

[FRESH_n_ScandeL0...]

I wanna get a tattoo when i turn 18...hopefully anywaize...I want one on my lower back and then maybe after that on my shoulder blade. And maybe more...but that's all that i've thought about so far...but i'm not totally sure about getting one, cause when I'm old and my skin is all wrinkly, the tattoos won't look that hott...

[whomps]

Eventually I'll get one.. don't know of what though. Probably my name in Chinese or a Phoenix.. because that's what my name means

[angel-roh]

no, jenny----i'm not gona let you have any real tattoes but u can have fake tattoes as in those fake images...if you do tattoes, i wont ever talk to you..

[minorxthreat]

alas, i have to wait until im nineteen to do anything i want...-other than piercing my ears.- so no tattoos, facial-ahem, or anywhere... in other areas-piercings til then. it sucks.

once im nineteen, though, i plan on getting my eyebrow pierced-still debating on which side.-, my lip-also debating on which side. but i think im gonna get it on the right- a barcode on my left shoulder blade, with something written where the numbers would go-im thinking PURATURI, but i dont think its going to work, as a barcode has 12 digits, not 8-, japanese characters of a certain someone's name on my second toe thingy, this really cool eye design that my boyfriend drew-its kinda egyptian style with big honking pointy eyelashes that look like a vortex or something- that i want to get on my calve. it's gonna be cool. there's a couple more things i wanna do-the two neon dancers off silverchair's neon ballroom album cover, a pink spider with "hide" written through the middle all fancy-like, with his death date written underneath, satoRU KAno written somewhere, a bunch of little black stars..- but i dont know where to put them exactly.

but i'm not entirely sure about the tattoos, because im worried of what they'll look like when im like seventy something, and i have this big black shapeless blob somewhere that my grandkids will think is a giant mole or whatever. haha. that'd be funny.

[PurchasedRebelli...]

I got my navel pierced and got tattooed once I turned 18. I have two tattoos so far, a butterfly on my back above my waist line and Tinkerbell on my right hip.

They didn't really hurt, the Tink one actually tickled.

And tattoos ARE addicting. I plan on getting another one on the back of my neck as soon as I get enough money.


And my parents and whatnot saw my tattoos long after I got them and my mom just scoffed and my dad didn't say anything.

[*wind&fire*]

i definately want one on my back...

[jaeman]

I don't want a tattoo.
It kinda seems pointless and when you're old and all, imagine that old wrinkled up tattoo still on your arm.
The only tattoos I'll ever put on my body is a temporary tattoo you buy at those 25 cent machines.

[RandomHero]

I wanna get some...even though it will hurt like a mother.

[jambaJUICE]

I don't want a tattoo.
It kinda seems pointless and when you're old and all, imagine that old wrinkled up tattoo still on your arm.
The only tattoos I'll ever put on my body is a temporary tattoo you buy at those 25 cent machines.

Haha, yeah. Same here.
I've thought about it before, but then I don't really see the point in me having one.
If i want a tattoo, i'd draw it on =P

[ANG33ZY]

I think I would.. probably something small tho.

[misoka]

I'd never want a tattoo. I don't even have my ears pierced

[eli5e]

yea

[BeyondElite]

None. I want my body clean from any objects or graffiti such as tatoos, earings, etc.

[shortiiex]

i want one on my lower backside

[melancholy]

I want one and i have the design all planned out, something i drew myself. But i want to make sure i really really want it, so i'm waiting a few more years. I don't want to get it just so i can say i have one.

[eli5e]

haha somtimes =P

yeah, something on back of my neck would be nice

[katssso]

Does anyone have one? If so, do they hurt?

[jennyjenny]

I don't have one so I wouldn't know.
Temporary ones don't hurt. All you need is water.

[Nicolatofu]

Yes, I use the temporary ones quite often because I'm such a chicken....especially when I see needles

[*Azarel*]

Does anyone have one? If so, do they hurt?

Um, I would assume so since they stick a needle in you to color your skin.

[silver-rain]

yeah, i would assume they hurt. i've always wanted one though, but when i'm older.

[WhiteLadyOfRohan]

I don't have any tattos. I want three though, the one ring in elvish around my ankle, a pair of eyes on my lowerback, and a bleeding rose on my inner thigh :-D

[*stephinika*]

yeah i don't have any...i might get one when i'm older. but yeah i'm pretty sure they hurt considering it involves sticking needles into your skin.

[Rachel]

my sister has two and she said it didnt hurt that much.


i want two nautica stars, you know the cool sailor ones, on my lower back.

[cRaZiiXbEauTiFul]

ive heard that it really hurts...

[Chaos13]

Nono only the rub on ones

-Kenji

[iheartsimba]

well yeah i know they hurt. a needle is carving into your skin.

i dont have one, but i might get one someday. not anytime soon though

[HelloSunshine]

I don't have one..it looks liek it hurts though

[inlonelinessidie]

My friend has a bunch and he said they hurt. Tolerable I would assume, but it hurts.

[krismiss678]

ew. i hate tatoos...except cute temporary ones. haha

[kellyannie]

I don't have one, but from what I've heard from friends yes they do hurt.

[*wind&fire*]

i want one... my cousin said they dont hurt much only when doing the outlining and on a place near bone...

[gvoxford]

i really want one and will probably get one when i'm older. from people i know "well DUH it hurts!" haha.
