Show ya tattoos

As 'interesting' as this?

No, I was thinking "eyes watering at the thought of it, guys instinctively cross legs" sort of "interesting".

The sort of "interesting" most people wouldn't want to apply a belt sander to.

I have two: A phoenix on the right side of my chest and a dragon on the left side. Designed em both myself. Both in solid black. I got the phoenix for my 18th birthday and the dragon for my 21st. Planning something for my back for my 24th

I have three:
A tiger from way back when I was 17, which is on my right inner ankle.
I want to modify it at some time in the future.

An infused celtic/maori design on my left inner ankle. It has a taniwha hand to protect each of my children interspersed throughout the design.

And "some words" of significance for my partner on my lower back right by my arse.

I want more, but just haven't got around to it yet. I want to extend the design on my left ankle to come up around my leg. And I want to add some colour and bits and pieces to my "words" on my lower back.

Stify is getting his first this Sunday.

The totally ironic part, is that getting the tattoo done there would have hurt like a cunt..

[Aitch]

I opted to get a branding back in the days when it was semi popular.Unfortuantely I swam in the sea far too early and the scar faded and now I cannot really see where it was at all. I'd like to get a tattoo but tend to spend my money on motormarsickles instead...

OUCH!!!! Didn't that HURT?????????????????????????????????????????????
The branding that is, not the swimming.....

Yeah of course it hurt, but I also got pissed immediately...

[Nicksta]

I decided I wanted to make a personal statement and be in the minority - so I haven't got a tattoo or any piercings!

I dipped out like that,when I got mine done it was considered anti-social and almost exclusivly servicemen,criminals,skinheads or bikers that had them.Used to get stared at in the street(mine were a bit excessive for the time),refused service in pubs e.t.c.Now it`s gone mainstream and everyone`s got them,there are 5 tattoo parlours in the city-centre and plenty more in the surrounding areas.This in a city with 3 decent book shops.I didn`t get an earring because everyone else I knew had them,now I`d avoid tattoos for the same reason,it`s a fashion not lifestyle thing now, or at least go for something totally different.Plenty of idiots here with soccer club badges tattooed on themselves,best bit is often they`ve never seen the teams except on t.v. It`s the "herd" thing I hate,you`ll women here with a dolphin or rose on one shoulder and a top halfway up their back showing off some kind of tribal design,as a fashion statement it strikes me as pretty bloody permanent and I reckon whoever comes up with makeup that will convincingly cover these things up will make a killing when they go out of fashion,which they will.

I doubt it.. some things like roses often have sentimental reasons for getting and dont seem to go out of fashion at all. Was popular 20 years ago when i got mine and prob just a much today, esp for women. And very personal to me as well. Tribal/celtic designs often have a lot of meaning to people as well. Sounds like you are kinda dissing people just cos they like to show them off? Maybe I'm wrong...
Maybe some get tattoos as a fashion statement (more fools them I say), but most people I personally know have generally had a lot of thought go into getting one and what their designs would be. Not a spur of the moment thing, tho strangly enough my last one was Getting it wasn't but FINALLY seeing a design I liked and getting it there and then.. was.
