Tattoo anyone?

I can barely read the lettering. (Took me a minute to realize it was a J. Or is it an I?) If you're going to get ink done, make it legible.

Nah it was just something I needed to get out of my head XD

I'm not keen on the type of text I chose in the end. As I said I was not happy with the writing and tends to be one of my biggest weaknesses.

Hmmm I see your point there I may try and draw an anatomical version and see if that looks better.

I wouldn't put any heart to begin with. Maybe drops ? Maybe a rosarie ?

maybe sounds like a lot of fun to try and see what happens.

I figured out what it had to be. But I or J, it's the same in Latin anyway.

Neat ^_^ I didn't know that

But beware friends.
Once you have a tatoo, in Japan you are marked as a Yakuza and are not allowed
to enter a japanese spa anymore.

Terrible.
With my income I wouldn't ever go to Japan. So it is not a problem for me.

Besides, what do you think about barcode tattoos?
I work in medical experimentation, our lab does a lot of cloning... I think it would fit me. Too bad I'm not bald.

I'm not a big fan of tattoos anyway, especially on women. If the woman is attractive, no matter how good the artwork, it's like tacking a children's crayon drawing onto the Mona Lisa -- it defaces a work of art. If the woman is not attractive, I'm sorry, but no tattoo is going to change that, even if it's a masterpiece. Too often, I think it's just peer pressure that makes them think they need a tattoo to be pretty/trendy/etc..

With men, my first impression is usually that they're trying too hard to look tough. Especially if it's some young guy who is obviously not tough.

I would never get a tattoo just to have one. The only way I would ever get a tattoo is if it meant something very important and personal to me. Like getting a unit tattoo in the military; it's a way to show that you've gone through hell with these guys, and you're closer than family.

Example: When I read that the nine primary actors in Lord of the Rings (Ian McKellan, Elijah Wood, etc.) all got a tattoo with the Elvish symbol for the number '9', I could respect that. They had been on the same project for over a year, and became very close friends.

If you get ink done, make it mean something. Don't put it on your face, either. That's just stupid. It's like a sign that says, "Don't hire me. Ever."

Amen.

I don't have a tattoo but I've considered the idea. The best thing I've read about tattoos is this:

Choose the design of your tattoo. Wait one year. If you haven't changed your mind during that time, do it. If you have, then that's not your tattoo.
