Ink or not 2 ink that is the question

Are you a fan of tatoo's?
Do you think they are sexy, cool, dumb?
Are they are part of motorcycling culture?

Look forward to hearing your thoughts

On the design - hey - it's only been what, 18 years??

Probably gonna be a polar bear or a brown bear though... not a shaded thing, more a umm... stylised... thing... yeah... or not...

The pain is something that puts me off. (yeah, I'm a wuss - wanna step outside? Nah didn't... Oh you do.. Um Ok, borrow my umbrella - it's wet out!)

Why did they take you out of action for a couple of weeks?

Hmmm...2 things in the world my mother really dislikes with a passion...
Motorbikes and tatoos.

Saying that she does like the bike in an abstract "if only it wasn't yours" and "that's really sexy for something I don't like" kind of way.

Pain????...where you planning on putting this tatoo?...
some areas are supposed to hurt more than others.

If it wasn't for my uncontrollable fear of needles I'd have a Phoenix on my back by now

ah yes mothers. she doesnt like the bike and personally blames her younger brother. He took me for a ride when i was knee high to a grasshopper. the first thing she said when she saw my first tat was, you know they dont come off.

**SARGE** · 22nd November 2005, 09:27

Havn't got one yet but early next year should have a design on the back of my right sholder. Now if only they could put me out while they do it damn it. Aparently its gunna friggen hurt on the bone.

**ManDownUnder** · 22nd November 2005, 09:52

I like them in the right place.

I think it's like any art form - there are some piece I like, and some that I don't. Some do look really cool though

I got my last tat on my right shoulder blade, it didn't hurt at all just felt like an irritating scratch. My most painful tat is on my stomach, around my belly button. That farkin hurt, apparently that's where all your nerve endings are, I had to get my mate to sit on my legs to stop them from "jumping" around and although i'll never admit to crying I had tears streaming out of my eyes for most of the 2 hours it took!
Basically if your not completely certain of where or what you want tattoed then you should probably wait and dwell on it for awhile. I got all of my tats before I was 18 and in all honesty I never really thought it through properly and in some ways do regret them.

Don't have and won't get any tattoos myself. They can look very nice if it is thought out properly, what to get and where to put them. What I don't like to see are the crappy home done tat's. I've seen plenty of them in the job. It can look like someone has used their body as a doodle pad, without any thought.
