I should hope nobody would get this tattoo. Maybe they could squeeze in another "r" in carrot.

i'm getting that tattoo in about 6 months
except mine is going to be lower down.
i'm a bit scared because that woman has shaply hips so her body looks like the curve of a DB.....but i am a lot slimmer and don't have much hip fat
if i see anyone else with that tat i will get very mad.
Ive already seen a couple, but it always looks great... always.Gia said:i'm getting that tattoo in about 6 months

Haha, that tattoo looks fake in that picture. It looks both to dark and sharp.
(specially after starting to play guitar) I am thinking of getting a trebble clef on my left wrist so when I play, left hand fretting you will see a treble clef up high and a bass clef down low (fingering or picking). Please no one say "Hey that is a good idea, now I am going to do that." I wanted it first
(maybe)
And those of you that have been here for a bit have probably heard me say this: I am hopefully going to get the (kung fu) brands of the tiger and dragon, if I do it will probably be next summer (during summer training where many of our masters are together at once)-Scared and excited and hopeful...

I was talking about getting my bass cleff done for about a year and one we all graduated and my guitarist comes back from boston with.... a trebble cleff tattood on his arm. It wouldnt have been so bad but this guy has a reputation for being a follower and really unorigional. Not that my idea was origional, but when the guy who buys the shirt you're wearing and the CD your listening to gets a tattoo that came straight from your idea its a bit irritating.Ba Gua Tiger said:Haha, that tattoo looks fake in that picture.

Well Since your a bassist you could arch in gothic letters
"SLAP THIS" Right over your hiney. Other bass players would know what you ment!!

you have?
that really sucks for me because i wanted my tattoo to be really original (yes i know man ray did it, but i thought of it before i had seen the picture)
do you think i should still get it even though other people have it?
What he said.Toasted said:Its your body... do what you want
Maybe modify them a bit like I did with mine:
Link Removed
Its still recognizable but its uniquely yours.
On top of that, it was maybe twice that Ive seen it and probably only once in person.
One thing to consider is that if you want to do more than just hair modelling you might want to leave big dark tattoos off your body. Its hard to cover them and I dont see many models with a lot of ink on their skin... well not enough I should say.
I know a girl with a cool skull surrounded by a tribal fire design. Really cool. the tattoo looks cool too

lmfao. well, I agree with that one guy or girl (i already forget the screen name) metallith..somewhere around there.. get something that means a lot to you, something that you enjoy and something that you relate to. Just don't put your boyfriend or husband or the guy you like's name on your back. I don't know why, but I don't like it when people get tattoos like that, but that's me.
Good luck with your choice.
I went to a local tattoo piercing place to get an estimate on a 3 hole industrial (not important) and there was a woman there who was asking about getting a cover up done on a guys name she had tattood a while back.SEPunkRock said:
Thats a good reason not to get a name.
Get this.
I met this girl at work, who is located in the call centre. She was telling me how she got stabbed in the back of the neck!!
Apparently her and her then BF at the time were out having drinks and started a fight or something with someother dude hitting on her.
So this guy pulls out a knife and they struggle for abit.. the girl gets in the way and the knife comes loose and cuts the back of her neck!!
I say NO Freakin way, and she turns around and showed me a tattoo on the back of her neck.. it was a crucifix and the centre of it was were the scar was..
The fact that she was hella-hot didnt help the fact that i had to remain seated for the rest of the day.

yeah i will modify it
ahh i'm all excited about getting it now, even though it won't be for a year or so!
realistically i don't want to do any more modelling than i do now, and the only thing that is photographed is my face, neck and torso (for my commercial modelling that is - i don't think the art photographers i model for will mind, infact, i know they won't)
btw, your tattoo is SWEET.
Spank you very much!
I think its good to be excited about a tattoo way before you get it. I think you should keep track of how your enthusiasm for it fades or if it grows and give yourself a lot of time so that you dont let yourself get stuck with something you dont want a week down the road.
I had drawn my tattoo out over a year before I got it and Im really happy I did. A couple of my friends were going to get tattoos done at the same time but neither really prepared anything and when they started talking to the artist the realized that they didnt really know what they wanted and got nothing.
Its cool to hear that you're working with people who'll dig the tattoos. I love seeing things that are "flawed" in a beautiful way.
