With all this self image talk I became curious, do any of you have any tattoos?

Website · by **GoDM1N** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:10 pm

I have a full size tattoo on my face, on my face.

by **Ackybur** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:11 pm

I do have one on top of my foot. I'll share a picture as soon as I get it altered

by **Harri** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:14 pm

I want one T.T

Don't be sporadic about it, that's what I did and now I regret it. I'm actually going in for my appointment tomorrow to work with the artist and draw something up. I already have my picture ready but he'll have to make some changes to it so it will fit to my foot properly.

by **Jake** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:18 pm

Pics or this thread is useless people.

Here's one of mine to start.

by **Ackybur** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:19 pm

Eish....that's interesting? Idk, I'll be honest it looks random and just a little messy. The green is a bit much

by **Jake** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:23 pm

Now Ackybur, this isn't the Tattoo approval thread

by **bjordan** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 8:48 pm

I think the star is cool

by **xbawkzes** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 9:19 pm

I'll get some pictures up when I own a camera again.

The only ones really worth showing you guys are the Aperture Science/Black Mesa logos behind my ears. I have my tattooist designing me a L4D style/influenced sleeve at the moment.

You do know what those characters mean, right?
Put together, they mean "master and slave."
主 - master or owner (often used by wives to refer to their husbands in the combination 主人 or ご主人様)
奴 - slave (in modern Japanese slang, it's used as a substitute for 人 or 方, both meaning "person" in context)

Actually, 主 means Ivy, and 奴 means back :3

by **Jake** » Fri Jun 03, 2011 10:17 pm

._. They told me it meant powerful warrior...

by **fingerman** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 2:19 am

主 - "laser removal"
奴 - "is expensive"

Har, har.
I figured it was one of those deals like the classic knuckle tattoo "love" and "hate."

To be precise, ツタ means ivy, and 背中 means back.

That would be レーザー消しは高い (or something to that effect).

I'm well aware of the cost of laser removal.

It's not the expensive part that gets you though, it's the burn blisters after every treatment, that's the part that sucks. That's why most people choose to simply get undesirable tattoos "covered up" instead of removed.

Sooooo... you had two star tattoos?

by **Jake** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 1:13 pm

I did, then I had them removed for a period of time, after that period of time was up I had them put back.

by **BoB Dolen** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 3:16 pm

Well here is the tattoo I have planned out for my back.

by **Techercizer** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 4:59 pm

No tattoos here; only scars.

by **Ackybur** » Sat Jun 04, 2011 6:19 pm

Why black stars? what's the meaning behind that?

by **Jake** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 12:07 am

I just use them as symbols since they don't necessarily have any definite outward meaning.

One of the things I love the most for being born a French speaker is that I believe French to be the most poetic language thanks to really complicated phonic and grammatical reformations of the language every 5 to 6 years.

The other thing I love is that, since Latin is the base language of French, it is possible for us to understand Latin sentences or at least to translate parts of them. I tried to translate your Latin sentence based only on phonic ressemblance to French. It gave me:

"Nobody is responsable, there are only choices."
After a small search, I found out it actually meant:
"There are no answers, only choices."

It was pretty funny to try and translate it correctly though. xD

by **Maringue** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 11:22 am

French even sounds nice when you are cursing someone out.

Like wiping your ass with silk

by **Ackybur** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:54 pm

I get mine this Friday. Going to suck because it will be a 4 hour process, but excited for the result

by **Jake** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 10:28 pm

Make it fun. Practice your breathing, find a few calming thoughts and make yourself a new playlist to listen to, it'll be a snap.

by **Maringue** » Tue Jun 07, 2011 3:26 pm

That's going to be interesting, usually the endorphins start wearing off around the 3rd hour. 4 hours is usually the hard limit on how long someone will work on you since you both start getting tired. I might talk to him/her about breaking it up into two 2 hr sessions, but that's just advice I've heard from friends, I'm ink free.

It'll be fine, I've had one on my foot before. I plan on getting inception on my ipad because that should take up most the time

Don't forget the pics when you're done.

Oh I won't. I'm really excited and that's been the main fuel behind getting this tattoo. You'd have to really want it if it's going on your foot...Ooooh man

Got my tattoo. Man did it hurt. It's not done and right now without the colors it looks like a big ass turkey! Still want a post Jake?

Turkey is my favorite thanksgiving meat.

Man it started swelling 15 minutes in...It wraps around my ankle to the back and is the beginning to a full leg tattoo. The feathers are going to build up more and turn kind of into a forest scene. It will be colored by July and it should be like this color wise.

by **Ackybur** » Sat Jun 11, 2011 9:08 pm

ALSO! Free prize to the person who can outline the previous tattoo

Finally someone else who likes tattoos! Are you planning on getting anymore Jake?

Admiral Ackybur wrote:Finally someone else who likes tattoos! Are you planning on getting anymore Jake?

Yeah, I do plan on getting a few more. I plan on finishing my sleeve on and then hopefully just leave it at that for a while. It's been 10 years of perpetually having one unfinished so I'll be happy when I'm done.

by **Techercizer** » Sat Jun 11, 2011 10:58 pm

Bet I'm the only one here who got their tattoo done with N2(l)

Tattoos, scars, both aesthetic changes to the body that carry meaning to the person who wears them.

Long story short: Liquid Nitrogen is dangerous.

Word choice confused me is all, never the less pics of your scars or GTFO

by **Ackybur** » Sun Jun 12, 2011 9:47 am

So, I've never done color before Jake. Is it true the outline is the worst part and then color is a bit easier to sit through?

Some times they can be quicker about it when they're shading in areas and sometimes they can't because of the detail, I think it'll just depend on your artist. I will say that the only time I've passed out from pain is when I was getting my back piece filled over my love-handle area. You're probably not nearly as big of a wuss as me so you'll be fine.

I didn't get close to passing out but man it hurt. It touches my tendon by my heel and I almost cried right there.

by **Ackybur** » Sat Jul 09, 2011 1:40 am

It's finished. Yes it hurt, yes color is worse than the outline, no didnt pass out. I did accidentally clench my toes around my tattoo artists nipple at some point...all in all a good night

This is what the new tattoo is covering up. A huge mistake at the age of 18....
