This is the tattoo I would love to get. It wouldn't have any "symbolic" meaning behind it, I just really love the look of it. So I ask, what about you? Ideas for tattoos?
Yeah this is exactly what would happen with me too. Maybe this is why people get 'addicted' to getting inked. The idea of a tattoo sounds so appealing in my head, but I feel like I'm not passionate enough about anything to warrant a permanent marking on my skin. Perhaps a family-related tattoo or if I become a baby-daddy or something.
Legend has it, one night mk and I were having way too many Manhattan's when we agreed that if Hubski were to have 100,000 users, we would each get Hubski tattoos. Other than that, I've never considered getting one.
mk denies such an agreement ever took place :)
They're more than welcome to join. The only ones that would be slightly obligated would be insomniasexx, b_b, forwardslash and only because he already committed... steve.
Yeah, we are definitely getting some new users. Tell your friends. I want to see mk with a tattoo!
I never would. Three reasons:
1. I find the concept of pure, unmarked skin appealing (and increasingly rare - being "unmarked" will eventually be the novelty)
2. I can't imagine feeling the same about a design now as when I'm 50/60/70, given how much my thoughts, tastes and feelings have changed in the last five and ten years alone
3. Most tattoos that I have seen tend to look worse as they age and the person ages
I have dated people with tattoos, though I would never date anyone with something like a facial tattoo. I also think it's a world more fun to mess around with temporary designs and henna tattoos.
I wouldn't want to permanently dye my hair blue, but blue streaks may be fun for a month or two. That's how I feel about tattoos.
I always think of the posters I had on my walls in High School and College. I would never hang those on the walls of my home now. My tastes have changed dramatically, why wouldn't it change in regards to the artwork I put on my body?
Exactly. I also look at some heavily tattooed people, like David Beckham, and he has probably one of the most "ideal" male bodies (as his sporting and modelling careers would be testament to) out there. And yet his tattoos, the volume and position of them, just look like a mess. They truly are just "sleeves". They do nothing for him, and even look bad. If someone with his body can't wear that volume of ink, who can?
If I was forced (or paid $5,000,000) to get a tattoo, the only one I could cope with, which I haven't seen but heard about, was a guy who had a British flag and "Made In Britain" tattooed on the sole of his foot. Probably agony to get it done there, but subtle at least.
A lot of people won't tattoo on the foot anymore because it doesn't last very long and ends up ugly and destroyed after a couple years.
I'm not big on tattoos, but if I were to get one, I'd probably get the triforce on the back of my left hand.
Though, I'm not really that interested in that either. A tattoo on your hand is basically social suicide. And I'm guessing (never got a tattoo) that it'd probably hurt like hell and then just get faded out.
Honestly, if it's going to permanently be on me, then I'd want it to have hell of a lot of meaning behind it.
