Tattoos?

Don’t have any, but I want one or two. Just dunno what the hell I want to have on me forever. Any of you guys got anything?

I’ve wanted one for years but I also haven’t really had any luck deciding on what to get. I’ve wanted Curious George in a space suit on my back for years, but I’ve kind of gotten over my “Fight Club and Space Monkeys” phase, which is what the tattoo would be in reference to.

I don’t, but I wanted my gf to tattoo my name on her butt. Still waiting.

If you really want one, make sure it’s something a) inoffensive, b) tasteful, and/or c) someplace that isn’t generally visible. You need to make damn sure that when you’re 40 and have a teenage daughter, you don’t want to be wearing something that gives off the wrong impression.

I was considering getting a tattoo for a while, but I couldn’t decide on anything I’d be relatively sure I’d want ten years from now. had some idle speculation of putting my name, blood type and next of kin somewhere though, just to keep it practical. in terms or artistic, well… the only thing I might consider was this idea I had, to get the Archangel Gabriel on my back. That’s all I’d ever be happy with.

I was considering getting an Ouroboros tatoo to represent the whole Vicious Circle/Circle of Life and stuff, but haven’t really found any time to do anything about it. Another idea I had was a band around my right arm to signify significant deaths during my life. (Basically, I’d add marks for each death and make another band if I had to. Something significant to remember them by, you know? Mostly for family/friends.)

If I wasn’t terrified of needles and such, I’d get a little Chrono Trigger sprite somewhere unobtrusive, like my shoulder or something.

IMO, tattoos are always a bad idea. Get a chain or some rings or something you can take off or out. Tats make you look scummy and cheap at best, pretentious and retarded at worst.

If you REALLY like an image you saw, put it on a t-shirt, at most.

Plus even tattoos of naked chicks are not immune to the sagging effects of age.

The only tattoos that I have are the rocks that were embedded deep into my skin when I got into a rather nasty little accident (and they’re going to be with me for the rest of my life too).

Imho they just aren’t worth it in the long run.

Toyed with the idea of getting something simple - like a butterfly - on my biceps or ankle. But never seriously. I’m too lazy to do anything like that, and ultimately, what’s the point? It won’t fool people into thinking I’m some kind of street tough :stuck_out_tongue: That being said, if I did get a tattoo, it would be something more pretty than badass.

I’ve decided that if I ever get a tattoo it’ll be in a place that wouldn’t change much…namely, on the ear, with both regular and invisible ink.

I’ve been pondering getting a 64bit Mario on my sternum. Though apparently it is one of the most painful places to get a tattoo, at least I could cover it with hair when I wanted to

A Crono recolor?

IYO.

Anyway, a tattoo should probably contain a phrase/image well expressed/inked and important enough to you so you care xy years from now. Just don’t do that (link not for the too squeamish).

Nope, just a regular one. I’m not that big a nerd. :noway:

I’m actually suddenly reminded of the Red Vs Blue point/counterpoint discussion on tattoos.

“I’d like to prove this mathematically, if I may. Take your current age. Now subtract ten years. Were you smart back then? Of course not, you were a goddamned idiot! Fact of the matter is, you’re just as big an idiot today - it’ll just take you ten years to realize it. Now think about if you’d drawn a picture on your body ten years ago. Would you be happy with it today? Chances are, you wouldn’t be.”

“Property of Seifer since 200X”?

Yes, something like that. I tried discretely getting my point across by constantly humming Every breath you take, concentrating on the “belonging to me” part. All in vein, so far.

Edit:I had an idea for my tattoo.
Just came back from my folks; after a couple of shots of “Stoly” with my dad, and some heavy-duty political chat covering a multitude of events all over the Globe (Obama, Harper, Medvedev, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, etc, etc), we ended up almost crying about all the shit happening back in the old country. My dad started reminiscing about his Red Army experience, talking about his multi-ethnic squad and how close they all were regardless of their origin. They were like brothers: Russians, Ukrainians, Georgians, Latvians and so on.

So, I wouldn’t mind a “Made in the USSR” tattoo.

I don’t think I would be ashamed of having a Mario tattoo on my chest 10 years down the road.

It wouldn’t be colored

The Symbol of Torment

Been contemplating some version of this for several years now, however I don’t think it’s worth the money and eventual fuck-uppage to me. Also out of context it makes me look like a gigantic fucking emo, and in context it isn’t much better.

You are an emo bitch.
