Patriotism, at its best.

[hXc]

One fine day, a fair few months ago, I thought of something really cool. That is, a tattoo. Now, I was a bit skeptical about bringing it up with mum and dad, in fear that I wouldn't be able to get it (being under 18, need a signature). But after seeing so many people at my school swimming sports, I spotted an opening to discuss said tattoo. After a casual remark about so many people at school with tattoos, and some are ridiculous etc...mum said the very words that soon changed my life.

After saving the pennies, and booking an appointment, today rolls around with a few nerves (mainly due to not knowing what to expect) and many many balls of excitement flying around my body. School finishes, and I duly head over to Hastings, to adorn myself with a piece of art.

An hour and a half later, I walk out as something different. No longer 'one of them', now 'one of us'. No longer a blank canvas, but a walking art display. I'm proud of my tattoo, and can't wait to show it off to the world.

[jrandom]

Good lord bro!

A very courageous decision there.

It's odd to think that the majority of people in the world would look at that tattoo and not know what it represented, isn't it?

[hXc]

It is odd, yes. But it's also exciting to know that nobody else in the world, let alone NZ will ever have this exact same tattoo.
It's not how you see it in a map book, things are very different. It's slightly stylised, and not quite to scale etc, but it's how I wanted it.

I'm so happy with Noel's job. Dragon Tattoo in Hastings. Great job.

[KiwiRat]

Welcome to the club.

[Laava]

Ooh! I can see Whangarei, it's just by that freckle!
Very Patriotic!

[hXc]

No freckle. It'll just be a mark from the ink or something.

[Laava]

And here's a tip. When the ladies ask to see what's down south? They don't want to be shown Invercargill! If ya know what I mean!

[hXc]

Hahahaha, that's a good one. *Tucks away safely for later use.*

[Trudes]

That's cool!! Are you going to get it coloured like a google satellite map??

[McJim]

South Island is in the wrong place dude. Do I need to come round and break your leg?:rofl:

Seriously though neat.

I decided long ago to be different. I'm one of the last people on Earth NOT to have a tattoo

[Laava]

That's cool!! Are you going to get it coloured like a google satellite map??
Good idea! Aaaaaaand when you are kicking peoples heads in, they'll think they are zooming in and out really quickly!:blink:

Dude do we dis you for being a homosexual with a Honda?....no we don't, so best not burn the young fella with his new Tatt.
Negative opinions are best kept to yourself.

Need to add a couple of things to it,that is "when pissed drop me off here" on it.And have arrow to address.

It's OK mate - you can just say you are too piss weak to get one without the nerdy code.

[sinfull]

I decided long ago to be different. I'm one of the last people on Earth NOT to have a tattoo

Only if ya outlive me Jim !!! Slightly different scenario though ! Went to get my first (back when all me mates started their ink) couldn't decide on what to get ! So made a choice to wait untill i had a life story to tell in body art, Still get told now and then to *go get a life* ! Allways reminds me of that day in the tattoo parlor !

[hXc]

South Island is in the wrong place dude. Do I need to come round and break your leg?:rofl:

Seriously though neat.It's artistic licensing lol. We tried a couple of times just with an image to get it in the right place so as not to distort the shape when I move my leg around and so that you can see the whole thing from the side. I'm happy where it is, break my leg if you feel the need to.


Bullshit stuffSo you're not into tattoos? Why'd you look at the thread then? I don't get why people purposely go and look at something they don't like, just to insult somebody. Grow up man, I would have expected better from you.


Sweeeet. What nobody told me before my first Tattoo is how adictive they become. This will be the first of many.:clap:Oh, I knew how addictive they are. The problem is the money. And making sure that what I want is really a good idea etc.

Warning tats are extremely addictive.I got my first at 17,second 20 years later when I knew a little bit more about myself and now I have got a full back job.

Awww shit, all these angry people! Just making a joke :D I don't think anybody says anything serious with ASCII art, unless it's Goatse-man :devil2:

I wouldn't get one myself; I'd change my mind in a few years and they look expensive to erase. About 10 years ago Dad promised to get a silver fern on his chest if the All Blacks won the World Cup; he's still yet to make that appointment :laugh:

[sinfull]

About 30 years ago Dad promised to break both my legs if i got one ! Fellas like him seen a bit too much during wwII !
That may have been an influence in my holding off, haha back then he could !

Patriotism at it's best. Now you can take your skill off to somewhere overseas and proudly represent NZ.

Don't forget to send postcard every now and then

I's not angry - just returning serve.

Thats Very cool m8, Tatts rock.

But I'm angry at you -- the truth hurts -- need someone to hold my hand when needles are involved :(

[scumdog]

It is odd, yes. But it's also exciting to know that nobody else in the world, let alone NZ will ever have this exact same tattoo.
.

In reality it means nothing - my missing finger parts, my tattoos, my facial scars are unique too but mean nothing..

But personally I can see where you're coming from.

[Tank]

Personally Im not a big fan of tats in viewable areas - but thats just me.

But I must say it looks good, nice sharp defined lines.

My sons girlfriend has almost the exact same tat on the side of her back (about the same size as well).

[Tank]

Suggestion for improvement:

Put a big X on Edgecumbe.

Its famous internationally!

There are lots of possibilities. You could put little hearts (or whatever) at all the cities where you have sex, or other icons for places where stuff important to you happened.

Like a schematic diagram - that's pretty cool, until you got married.

[hXc]

Everyone says that. No, I don't want to mark any towns on there. It will just start to look stupid. I'm happy with it blank for now, and I may at some stage fill it in with some sort of design, but we'll see.

[The Pastor]

I don't care much about tats, but thanks for sharing.

If you got a much larger one done on ur back maybe you could get the roads tattod on once you've ridden it, then people will be like "have you been here" and you can say "i don't know i can't see my back without a mirror".

who cares what i or anyone else thinks, if you like it its good.
