wicked1 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 So...who else has the body art? I've seen a few avatars that show some cool tats. I know I'm not the only "freak" here who loves decorating my skin! What's your favorite? Personally, I love my lower back tat of a phoenix and a pink lotus honoring my Vietnamese kids.

RichCI Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I think they look great depending on what they are and where they're placed but not for me. The only problem I have with them are the ones you see over and over again like the creeping panther on an arm, a spider web on an elbow or the ubiquitous little rose or butterfly on an ankle. I mean, if someone is going to get a tattoo that is going to be on them for probably their entire life, you'd think they'd want to get something original or at least not something that a million other people have.

ksdaddy Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 You can do whatever you want as far as decorating your body. I'll never walk up to someone and give my opinion of what it looks like because it's none of my business. But my daughter got a tiny tattoo when she was underage and oh, yes, you better believe the woman that did it went to jail.... there was no question about whether I wanted to press charges or not. So do whatever you want to deface yourself forever but don't expect everybody to be impressed by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I don't do tattoos or body piercing. I have nothing against either one, but it just isn't my cup of tea. Notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeRom Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Don't like 'em myself. Never saw any that made me stop and thing, hey! I want one of those! I gotta image that tatoos, as you age, are going to start looking pretty nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I have a few. Like all art - some is tasteful and some is cheesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesburst Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm no tattoo person at all. I'm currently battling with my 18 year old son who hasn't quite got a hold of the concept that tattoos are not like other fashion items... removeable (At least not with scarring) I understand and respect those who have them for cultural, spiritual and or deeply personal reasons but let's face it, most people these days are getting them for none of those reasons. HOWEVER, The number one rule of tattoos (from my many friends who do have them for whatever reasons: Spend the money and do it properly. If you can't afford it then don't do it. From the evidence on Gibson's own thread on tattoo's here is how not to do it: This is just extraordinarily bad in every way Nice sentiment but I believe guitars have strings and their pickups tend to align Mmmm, hero worship is one thing but this is rather sad Now, here's how to do it from the KISS online site. even if you're not a KISS fan, I'm sure most would say this is real art, Oh, and the real catch even with modern tattooing techniques, the inks will bleed and fade over time so even the extraordinary work and fine detail such as in the Gene Simmons tattoo is going to look ordinary.

ChanMan Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 None for me, thanks, but I don't mind admiring other folks ink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 No tats for me either. If I have several hours of free time and a couple hundred extra dollars, there are plenty of other ways I would prefer to spend that time and money. I have no problem with them on other people, it's just not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elessar820 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I have one so far. It's a dragon with my last name on my calf. I tweaked a design to make it my own. I'm working on two designs right now, a guitar playing wolf and matching skulls for my fiancee and myself. We're getting married on Halloween so we figured why not?

retrosurfer1959 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I have six or three if you count them as one when several touch. there on both upper arms, both shoulders and across my back , Id probably have a few more including at least a 3/4 sleeve on my left arm, but my day job is slightly stiff in dress code etc. so the tatoos's all fall where they can be covered by a standard shirt. Ive had then done in Hawaii, Thailand, Japan, Africa, Australia and the US. Most of mine are ocean/surfing related but the left shoulder which is desert stuff including a large scorpion. I have no regrets and will likely add more as travel takes me other places and work goes away in a year or two. I decided long ago after scars and major accidents started leaving a clear history on my body that I wasn't going to live a easy life or leave a pretty corpse so my body is kind of the book of my life so hell yeah I had it illustrated.
