im working on design for my next tat. maybe will post it when done.

Does decomposed skin cope well with needle+ink?

Including the 14 year old blonde suburbanite girl with the three stars on her wrist that I saw at Busch Stadium yesterday?

Everyone has tattoos nowadays.

And they're all pointless. Another facet of consumer whore pseudo-independence.

i must disagree kind sir. not all tats are pointless. have u never watched la ink, miami ink, tattoo highway or inked? people get them for a reason man! they tend to represent integral moments in ones life. i know they have def become more of a trend which sux- the masses are asses- and all that shite, but pls dont go lumping all of us w/tats into that generalized category of nonsense.

Those "meaningful" tattoos are bullshit, too. Wearing your life literally on your sleeve (or chest or whatever) makes you a sentimental show-off.

Don't mind me personally, though, I'm a prick.

yes. yes, you are. u have mastered the fine art of prickestry, not to be confused with douchebaggery.

no i do not.

i;m getting another one soon

of casper the ghost

i don't feel like explaining why

i wish the person who started this thread had remembered to put the 'a' in its title. whenever i read it i feel like i'm being interrogated by a nigerian customs official.

i have a math problem tattooed on my foot. 5+4=9.

pics or it didnt happen.
why?

i did it with my friend as a joke. long story short, it was on viva la bam, and we always thought it would be really funny to do too.

the way i see it, is that whatever else you spend your money on will be gone someday. food, shelter, cds, clothes...none of them will last as long as a tattoo. food gets eaten, houses get sold, cds scratch, clothes get worn out. tattoos stick around.

yeah but when im 80, ill still have tattoos. even if theyre faded. i wont have anything else from this period in my life.

keep needles clear of your veins, unless you want a flavor of hep.

for the wrist, i'd suggest a nice watch-- preferrably a swiss one.

I dont really understand the argument about them looking silly as you age.. EVERYTHING starts to look worse as you age. So what? At least you can get re inked. Saggy skin is saggy skin, it looks like old people. I don't personally think tats make it look any worse. Unless you go for all over body coverage. That is a little odd to me, but each their own..

i was one day in a biker bar and this octogenarian motorcycle mama passed out and nearly-died from maybe too much tequila.

it was disgusting.

when my ancestors died, they were fucking nasty but they did it with a measure of dignity, not with bandanas and leathers that would best fit some 60s hippie.

fuck getting stuck in time. change is where it's at. tattoos keep you pegged in timewarps.

very true.

I'm a big believer that each person has every right to choose how they die, if they so want to. So.. whether *I* were to find it gross or undignified or not.. really seems a little irrelevant, when it isn't me dying.

Motorcycle mama sounds hardcore though, and it would not phase me one bit if that were how I end up. Seems a little more *digified* than shitting yourself for weeks on end while waiting in a home for the time to come.. But maybe my idea of dignified is different to yours. :)

Id love it if my tattoos could cause time warps, metaphysically speaking. :o

you should probably stop taking pictures and destroy any existing ones of yourself. those are just "timewarps" too.

want.

getting a new one in two weeks.

RIP, Blanche was my fav.

Yes I do. But without ugly faces.

i have freckles.

You had freckles tattooed on you?

naah.. mine come and go. skin pigmentation.

I have one Birthday Party-inspired tattoo "Release the Bats" with bats fkying around on my left tricep. I liked it more when I was 18 haha.

get that tattooed on my stomach

i want another on my wrist or forearm but cant decode if its a bad idea to have it there.

actually, I plan on doing the same. I finally decided that, first and foremost, tattoos are a bad idea, so you might as well get one where you want it.

THAT SAID, I'm getting a voodou veve on the inside of my right wrist. I can't decide if THAT is a bad idea to have at all, but I'm doing it anyways.

these days, there are so many I want (I have none), that I'm afraid I'll end up getting a sleeve (do not want).

the logo for Ghibli Studios is a high-priority as well.


does anyone in LA have a friend that they want to recommend to me? zombot? holla'. time is of the essence.

My brother got black out drunk and got his dog's named tattooed to his ass. His dog's name is Drusilla.

drusilla is a sexy name-

The least shit tattoo I've ever seen was Elliot Smith's Ferdinand the Bull tattoo.

if i met a chick called that i would follow her around all night until she shagged me.

At which point you'd learn she's a transvestite named Andrew.

meh, i aint picky.

what the fuck, i wonder if it hurts when he pees....
