Title: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Nidavellir on September 12, 2005, 11:12:46 PM I'm considering getting a tattoo, does anyone else have any they would like to share, I have asked an artist i used to know if he would draw it for me if he does and gets back to me i will post it and show yous.
P.S Is it sore? ( I'm a wimp really :( ) Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Chili on September 12, 2005, 11:23:36 PM wicked - i am also thinking of getting one but this has been going on about 10 years! I cant believe how hard it is to decide. I am the closest at the moment that i have ever been, even scouted a guy out in Netherfield, Notts who is excellent.
I'm going for lower back (safest incase its shit) and its based on the Red Hot Chili Peppers black logo with a lot of detail going on on either side (maybe a bit tribaly but not totally) and the guy will design it for me. What you thinking of having? Where? and why? Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Robert HM on September 12, 2005, 11:27:32 PM A tattoo is for life. A piercing is for for as long or short as you want, so I am told ;) .Don't ask it was a long time ago.
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Ironside on September 12, 2005, 11:30:16 PM i personally hate tattoo's and find them disgusting if i meet a lady with a visable tattoo it will put me off trying to chat them up
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Yogi-Bear on September 12, 2005, 11:33:24 PM I dunno Ironside. Makes it more inviting to me if she has one.
Altho even better if it's a small discrete one that isn't so visible until later on. ;) Yogi Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Nidavellir on September 12, 2005, 11:33:39 PM im thinking of getting a tattoo based on my favourite game series Final Fantasy it would probably be on my arm so its easy to show/hide if need be
if anyone knows about final fantasy then its the character Vivi i was looking aroud the web and found this pic, thinking about this one too [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Yogi-Bear on September 12, 2005, 11:36:43 PM Do it.
Wish I had the balls to go get one. But i'm a Big Scaredy Bear Yogi Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Ironside on September 12, 2005, 11:38:33 PM im thinking of getting a tattoo based on my favourite game series Final Fantasy it would probably be on my arm so its easy to show/hide if need be if anyone knows about final fantasy then its the character Vivi i was looking aroud the web and found this pic, thinking about this one too remember a tattoo is for life not just for christmas Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Robert HM on September 12, 2005, 11:38:55 PM Don't, not a character from a game series with no lasting value. If it is to happen at all, make it timeless IMHO

I'd thought about getting the Chili Peppers star on the inside of the wrist that the guys have. As well as the outline of a symbol for a band called In Flames. Basically like my picture but without the face and it wouldn't be filled in. I haven't totally dismissed the idea but it's not at the forefront of my mind. Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: ifm on September 12, 2005, 11:49:56 PM i've got one, but you need to get to know me better :o
LOL@chilli ;D Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: AdamM on September 12, 2005, 11:52:31 PM I love tattoos if they are well chosen and mean something. I have two myself. one on my back is all skulls and black holes and other heavy shit that I was impressed with as a 16 year old metal fan. It's on my back so no one, including me ever sees it. On my right arm I have a big colourful guitar tattoo. Now that I'm happy with. for the last 18 years I've defined myself as a guitarist and getting a symbol of that was a good decision.
my only advice would be try and choose a design that says something about yourself and even if it's not always going to be relevant (ie I've recently retired from chasing rock superstardom) it should be something that refers back to defining phases of your life. Don't just jump on the band waggon and get some meaningless celtic band Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Ironside on September 12, 2005, 11:53:33 PM i personally hate tattoo's and find them disgusting if i meet a lady with a visable tattoo it will put me off trying to chat them up Bonus ;D there are better ways to ward off my attentions than getting a tattoo, like showing me attention and expressing an intresting and pretending you want a realtionship its turned me off many women and allowed me to still look only 23 when in reality i am a few years older Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: bundle on September 12, 2005, 11:55:36 PM Don't do it.. sounds cool right now. but its for life, I have 3 one on each bi-cept and one on the inside of my lower lip (don't ask) I can not think of one reason to have one, other than ..
"IT WILL LOOK COOl" well 10 years time it ain't so cool. YOU WILL REGRET IT. I don't know 1 person who still likes their tatoo.. Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: ifm on September 12, 2005, 11:57:49 PM my pal's son had "D12" tattooed on his lower arm, already looks silly
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: AdamM on September 12, 2005, 11:58:19 PM you know me now so thats two.
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Ironside on September 12, 2005, 11:58:40 PM what did d12 stand for?
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: AdamM on September 12, 2005, 11:59:09 PM it's a band mate
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Ironside on September 12, 2005, 11:59:35 PM never heard of them
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: bundle on September 13, 2005, 12:00:47 AM no thats 1 , I did'nt know 1 person until you
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: AdamM on September 13, 2005, 12:02:48 AM I'm all for 'body customisation' but as I say, make it mean something. sooner or later any tattoo, no matter where it is will be a conversation piece and when you're asked, "oh right, why did you choose that?" your answer needs to be better than, "I thought it looked cool at the time"
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: ifm on September 13, 2005, 12:08:21 AM D12 were the rap group backed by Eminem (who's retired apparently), had a couple of hits, some with him on

I first picked up a guitar at 14. I met most of my best friends as a result of playing guitar, and met many many women too, including my wife. It paid my way through college as both a gigging musician and a teacher and I've written some excellent songs which, sadly most of the world will never hear. Playing guitar has given me many highs and lows over the last 18 years and dropping the dream of doing it for a living is heart breaking. time catches up with us all and I didn't get there in time. maybe my kids will want to aim for that dream too but for me the future is weddings funerals and bar mitzvah's bands for me now :'( Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Ironside on September 13, 2005, 12:17:54 AM i personally hate tattoo's and find them disgusting if i meet a lady with a visable tattoo it will put me off trying to chat them up so really what your telling all the ladies is, if you want to keep Ironside away from pestering you to dance round a poll for him, just get a wee Tattoo ;) if a lady wants me to pay for her to dance round a poll she better not have a tattoo or a body peircing as she certainly wont get a 2nd helping Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: bundle on September 13, 2005, 12:24:32 AM Quote and dropping the dream of doing it for a living is heart breaking anything is still possible .It's not over until your dead, you never know whats round the corner for you ;D Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Scottish Dave on September 13, 2005, 12:25:18 AM Quote and dropping the dream of doing it for a living is heart breaking anything is still possible .It's not over until your dead, you never know whats round the corner for you ;D True Samuel L Jackson didnt do his first big film till he was 42 Y O Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: bundle on September 13, 2005, 12:29:36 AM See there you go. cliff richards could make a come back and be looking for a guitarist. YA JUST NEVER KNOW
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: AdamM on September 13, 2005, 12:33:21 AM nope, no record company is going to sign a 32 yearold pop/punk guitarist. sadly the ship has sailed on my music career. I'll always play and there's a lot of good songs in me yet but as a proffessional signed musician I don't think it'll ever happen for me.
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Ironside on September 13, 2005, 12:34:46 AM learn to sign then we can laugh at you on x-factor
Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Nidavellir on September 13, 2005, 12:35:11 AM what about writing then? a possible career in that for ya Adam?
and yes yous are right if im gonna get a tattoo it should have more meaning to it than what im thinking off. now off to get the noggin working (it hurts!!) Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: bundle on September 13, 2005, 12:44:25 AM adam, YOU NEVER KNOW. looks like your thinking your over the hill on this, don't you think Jagger will be looking for someone when keith richards pops his clog's..
Quote I don't think it'll ever happen for me. see how you never said, it won't happen for me.tell's me the dream ain't dead yet. never give up your dream, you got nothing to lose Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: AdamM on September 13, 2005, 12:51:54 AM the dream will never die mate, it just becomes more unrealistic every day. when I said breaks my heart, I meant it. the band is getting together soon to record the whole set. for me it'll be so I can play it to the kids in years to come. for them it'll be incase they want to take on a new guitarist. The worst thing is that every song is between 70% and 100% my writing so I'll be playing songs that mean a lot to me for the last time with the band and it'll choke me up. When you've defined yourself in a certain way for so long, too alter that definition so profoundly is a major thing. I've always been a Guitarist who...plays poker, who is married, who does this job etc. in the future I'll be a poker player who plays guitar or a business man who plays guitar.
don't know if this make sence to anyone or not. jeez I'm bummed out about it Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: RED-DOG on September 13, 2005, 01:33:37 AM I wanted to be a professional snooker player for a long time, I didnt make it
Letting go was really hard, but not nearly as bad as the thought of letting go For me it turned out to be quite a relief, nothing is as bad as you imagine it to be, remember one door closes.....

Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: tikay on September 13, 2005, 03:11:35 AM What a great thread, some rel gems in there. And the usual blonde meandering, from a rock musician about to retire, to how (not?) to pay AK, to the Ashes, a blinding post by our Chilli, references to Curling, Ironside is only 23, and all this on a thread about tattoos.
And a stranger would never guess that Cochester Kev & Ironside are actually bosom buddies. Amazing. Title: Re: Thinking of getting a tattoo Post by: Ironside on September 13, 2005, 03:34:52 AM if kev doesnt understand simple statements soon he will be a choking buddy when i stranglethe sucker
