Edwin MacPhisto Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Your friends have even dumber tattoos than you do.
Guest Eagle Man Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Post a picture of your tattoo's? My tattoo's what?
luke-o Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Posted April 16, 2007 Post a picture of your tattoo's? My tattoo's what? Uh yeah, if you have a tattoo, post a picture of it in this thread.
Black Lushus Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Your friends have even dumber tattoos than you do. nah, his Jason one is sorta cool...I, personally, wouldn't sport it, but it's not bad. and yes, it's much better than his friend's tatts...the chicks on the leg is pretty lame.

I don't know dude, i quite like the pin up girls. I personally wouldn't have them done but i think they look cool. I guess i just love tattoos
Black Lushus Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I'm a tattoo fan myself...to be honest, those looks rather cheaply done. Did they go to a professional shop?
luke-o Posted April 16, 2007 Author Report Posted April 16, 2007 Yeah, the chick who does Wilf's tattoos is a really good artist. She didn't do mine or Leigh's, the guy who did mine no longer does them as his hands are all fucked up from doing tattoos for years. Although the guy who does Leigh's is supposed to be very good. TBH, it might just be my camera that makes them look that way, because they don't look amturish in reality.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Who goes to a tattoo parlor and says "I want some Nightmare Before Christmas looking cartoon prostitutes on my leg"? Is this a British thing?

Is this a British thing? Dont know what version of nightmare before christmas you watched, but ok... There what is refered to as Pin Up Toons. Do an google image search on them, theres loads.
Spaceman Spiff Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 I've got Calvin from the 1st panel of this strip on my left shoulder blade.
NoCalMike Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 Old-school tattoos are cool and all, but I am of the opinion that you either put ONLY old-school tattoos on yourself, or NO old-school tattoos on yourself. To me it just looks weird to have the old-school stuff on one body part and then something else somewhere else. I am just weird like that. I have been thinking heavily of getting a horror flick-related tat for awhile now, I have seen some with Freddy Kruger ripping through the skin with his claws, while you see shreds of skins, muscle tissue, tendons etc....in the background with his face.....it looked REALLY GOOD. Not sure, whether I will ever go through with it though, I'm gonna be 27 in July and nothing up to now has really compelled me to get any ink done.
Scroby Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 ...I have no clue how to re-size the picture.
Guest Eagle Man Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 I don't know, you guys. I've always been under the impression that tattoos are pretty low-class. Nobody in my family has a tattoo. I think we'd be shunned if we did.
The Niggardly King Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 Tattoos still carry that perception in our society of being low-class. I should look into the history of it; as it was looked as being a strong leader, or a high class position back in the tribal days... shit I'm sure not even that long ago it was still looked upon in that light.
Guest Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 I considered getting one before. That was before I thought that it would be on me for the rest of my life, and what if they screwed it up? Not to mention the whole thing in the Bible about having marks put on yourself. I can't site the passage right now, because I'm way too tired. What sense would it make for me to get a religious tattoo if it says in the religious text not to do so? I don't look down upon people that have tattoos though. I don't really have an opinion on the whole thing, if someone wants to mark themselves up, I'm not going to care enough about it to tell them that I think it's wrong. I think I dislike the people that constantly talk about how they're going to get ink, and yet they never do. If you're going to talk about it all the time and show me all these pictures of tattoos that you want to get, then do it. That's not referenced to anyone on here, that's a real life thing that bugs me to death.

I should look into the history of it; as it was looked as being a strong leader, or a high class position back in the tribal days... shit I'm sure not even that long ago it was still looked upon in that light. In Polynesian culture they can be and still are. But in China and Japan they were used to brand criminals, in Japan they were prominent in repressed second-class indigineous tribes, and these days they're seen as being a typical triad and yakuza thing. Of course here there are gang and prison tattoos, tramp stamps, bicep bands and whatnot. Whatever... it comes down to how you carry yourself otherwise, tattoo or not. I think I dislike the people that constantly talk about how they're going to get ink, and yet they never do. If you're going to talk about it all the time and show me all these pictures of tattoos that you want to get, then do it. That's not referenced to anyone on here, that's a real life thing that bugs me to death. On the other hand I hate those who go out of their way to show off their tattoos and always tell you about them even if you don't ask, especially if they're shitty. I don't care.

I can't site the passage right now, because I'm way too tired. What sense would it make for me to get a religious tattoo if it says in the religious text not to do so? I believe it's somewhere in Leviticus, a.k.a. the one we're all supposed to scoff at in an enlightened manner. That notwithstanding, most Orthodox and Conservative Jews disallow tattoos because of what it says in Leviticus, but also out of respect for Holocaust victims, which I feel is as good a reason as any, don't you? Anyway, over the course of my upbringing, I've always been led to believe that tattoos were socially undesirable, and I don't think anything in this thread has made me reconsider that. Horror movie villains? Talk about the cultural dregs.
Guest Vitamin X Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 I have a tattoo, no picture but it's not a big deal. Just some commie thing with free thinkers are dangerous in a sanskrit-like font across my shoulders. I like tattoos, and I use them to honor a lot of things that I will obviously carry for the rest of my life. My next two are pretty simple: I'm honoring my cat's death (I was closer to her than any person I know outside of my mother) by having her name in hierolglyphics on the inside of my left bicep, and getting my horoscope sign on the back of my neck. No big deals, and nothing I can't really hide. I think they're fun and they should have a lot of personal meaning. I don't know what I could really get out of having horror movie villains or dice or skulls or chicks on me, but hey, whatever works for them, it's just not my thing. I want something I can look at a few decades down the road and still smile at for having on me.

I think that's still pretty much an accurate statement, Czech. 20 years from now, a new generation, maybe not? For now, I'd say the majority would view a person with a tattoo as a criminal or a thug or trash etc. etc.

I have t-shirts, posters and all other types of shit. I just like the films.
