Getting Inked

Post Reply New Topic

Tattoos are one of the most dynamic forms of self expression and art in existence. I notice folks here are pretty creative and I just wondered if anyone here has tattoos and why they got what they did.

I just got my first 2 days ago.

It relates to the X and Z axis in CNC machining, which is not only my obsession, but my career also.

I'd like more. I don't even need the ink... I just want to feel the gun on my arm again. I should go in there and ask the guy to just doodle on my arm without any ink.

I'm so flabbergasted at my father that I'd actually get the 1965 Kinks logo located on my strongest arm right now, if money wasn't a concern.

I can't think of anything I'd want permanently etched on my body. Uncreative? Maybe.

I want to get one but I'm afraid I'd hate it.

I have a thing for skulls. My nephew did this tattoo for me a few years ago.

I have far less than I would like to have and absolutely love tattoos.
I have a suspicion people here might enjoy this blog (and others like it):

The censoring dislikes the memetic fvckyeah[insert word] tumblrs so just change the V

I have 9 tattoos. I have 2 favorites. The Chinese symbol for complicated/difficult on my back and the roman numeral 8 on my inner left wrist. I'm saving up for a half sleeve atm.

I have 8 tattoos. I got my first one as an expression of my individuality and curiosity as to what it felt like to get tattooed. I have tried to take really good care of my tattoos. I enjoy having them and knowing that they (what was an ink created in some factory or wherever) is now part of my body in the form of art. I thought about it quite awhile before getting my first tattoo---would I regret it? Well...I guess another question to ask would be, "Would I regret not getting tattooed (if I hadn't got tattooed) someday in the future? At this time, I can say I don't regret getting my tattoos.
