tattoos.

[afronaut]

so you see, this friend of mine wants to take me to get a tattoo. tattoos arent really my thing, you see, so i dismissed it.

but it kinda got me thinking, while tattoos arent really my thing, maybe i should get one. like, something that means something. granted, theres a chance it wont be meaningful to me for very long, but whatever.

so i've been searching for symbols and pictures and things that would be meaningful to me. i kinda found this symbol thats related to syndicalism, and the workers movement, and the IWW and all that shit. and i like that. im down wit dat shit. but you see, its this black cat. and the more i look at it, the more i'm pretty sure its just a halloween decoration. and i wasnt too crazy about the design anyway. here, i'll link you:

http://www.anarchosyndicalism.net/images/logos/sabcat.gif.

yeah, total frickin halloween eh? yeah, thats kinda out. i'm still considering it though... the good thing about it, is that if i ever change my mind and dont agree with what it symbolizes, i can always just say its a halloween tattoo, or something to that extent.


anyway. where do you think a cool place for a tattoo would be? i'm thinking maybe on my forearm, kinda under my wrist. you know, while im shootin niggas the black power sign, they'll be all "shit, that niggas got a cat on his forearm". yeah. sweet.

another idea, which me and that qdrop faggot brainstormed (i'm internet friends with qrop?!??!?!?? jesus christ, that revelation just hit me. goddamn). you see, its a black power fist, and in it, theres a kkk guy being lynched. and under it it says "FUKKK THA KKK!". another idea is getting my entire epidermis tattooed black. or maybe i just shouldn't get one.




discuss tattoos here or something. recommendations accepted here. most likely they will suck, and i will dismiss them though.

[Lindsey_1535]

I thought halloween first off. Maybe avoid that one.
ME and my pops are getting tats for ma birthday, which means I have to be thinking about it now.

get a bulls eye on your lower back :p

[beastieangel01]

it does make me think of halloween. Sorry :/

I definitely think if you get one, it should mean something. I tend to like tattoos on guys shoulder/back area if you know what I mean. But I am awful at tattoo recommendations period, type or placement. So I will shut up now.

[afronaut]

yeah, you guys are right. what about that epidermis idea though?

[Lindsey_1535]

forearm tattoos are good. Look very nice. (y)

[ToucanSpam]

forearm tattoos are good. Look very nice. (y)
you have 23 hours and 15 minutes to think about what you want.

[NurfBallJeaneus]

Tattoos look stupid....especially on girls/women.

Just my humble opinion.

[cookiepuss]

if you're not sure about it make sure it's put somewhere you can cover up easily.

maybe do something family related? do some research on your family crest or something like that.

never get names of lovers, wives or any one else you've ever had sex with.

ok that's about it. go get inked.

;)

[QueenAdrock]

Get something that means something to you, so you won't feel like a douche when you're 80 for having a skull with a snake through the eyesockets.

My name means "Goddess of the Moon" so if I were ever to get a tat, it'd be a small blue moon on my upper shoulder, or on my ankle.

[HotAndWet]

Is it dorky that I think that it would look cool as a tattoo? :confused:

[buddylee]

I have that black cat cut out ....I put it up every year.
you mite as well put this on you
Tattoo (http://www.madcowprod.com/fi04.jpg)

[Medellia]

If you don't like tattoos then why would you get one?

[RobMoney]

You should get the Steve-O (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/RobMoney004/steve-o.jpg) Tattoo on your backpiece. That would be cool.

Just don't get the "in" tattoo, Nautical Stars (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/RobMoney004/nautical20star20arm.jpg) are the new "tribal bands around your bicep".

[Qdrop]

another idea is getting my entire epidermis tattooed black. or maybe i just shouldn't get one. oh shut up and do it.
best fuckin idea i ever had.
pussy.

[CrankItUp!]

Tattoos only look sexy on gals , when its just above her ass crack. :cool:

that's about as generic as the tribal armband on guys.

[enree erzweglle]

so you see, this friend of mine wants to take me to get a tattoo. tattoos arent really my thing, you see, so i dismissed it.

but it kinda got me thinking, while tattoos arent really my thing, maybe i should get one.

Given that, maybe you want to think about it hard for a week or two before you do it. (Maybe don't spend that week or two researching which tattoo you want. Think about spending that time figuring out if you do actually want one. Because it sounds to me like you are thinking of it but don't really know why you are.)

[ms.peachy]

I don't understand why you are thinking of doing this, if you don't actually really want one :confused:

[Mot]

Don't get a tat unless YOU want to. Don't get one because someone said it would be cool. You could end up regretting it. Plus getting one removed is double the pain, and anywhere from twice to ten times the expence of having one put on.

[Qdrop]

I don't understand why you are thinking of doing this, if you don't actually really want one :confused:

he does.
he's being coy.


you have to understand that afro is kinda....fruity.

[enree erzweglle]

not to mention 10x the cost.
And do they really ever go away? The x-tatoos that I've seen leave a nasty looking scar, which, ironically, some people think is still just the tatoo, just a bad one.

[Mot]

It depends on the color, and type of pigment, and also how deep it is. A professional tat should only go into the middle layers, homemade ones usually go deeper, and take more sessions to remove, thus causing more scarring.

[wanton wench]

Tattoos only look sexy on gals , when its just above her ass crack. :cool:

ha ha! ya so it looks like they didnt wipe their ass !

[Freebasser]

while tattoos arent really my thing, maybe i should get one.

I hope this is one of your little jokes. If not, then you really need a kick up the arse to set you straight.

[afronaut]

you frickin retards, i said after thinking about it i decided that i should get one tattoo. i think thats what i said..

[Freebasser]

You know, it would probably make you more of an individual to not get a tattoo.

[enree erzweglle]

I saw this SNL skip they did on trendy tattoos (low back art, tribal bands....etc) and they showed what they would look like old with a back tattoo sagging and the arm tattoo giggling off the arm......good shit !

So funny. I think they morphed a lower-back tattoo from saying SEXY (on a youngish woman) to saying SAD on, presumably, the same woman as she aged.

It was a fake ad for acid-based tattoo removal cream. :D

[afronaut]

You know, it would probably make you more of an individual to not get a tattoo.
why dont you go like, bleach and spike your hair again, or whatever it is you do.

[ms.peachy]

but it kinda got me thinking, while tattoos arent really my thing, maybe i should get one. like, something that means something. granted, theres a chance it wont be meaningful to me for very long, but whatever.

erm... not for nothing, but it looks to me like what you said is that "it's not really [your] thing" but that "maybe [you] should get one" anyway?

And then said that even though this thing isn't really your thing but that you think you should maybe get put permanently on your body is something that won't be all that meaningful really? but whatever?

Is there some other way to read that paragraph? Cuz if you think what is you said is "I thought about it deeply and have weighed and balanced the pros and cons, and after finding a design that I feel really says something about who I am I am moved to do it," I gotta say, I didn't see that.

[Qdrop]

reversal!

2 points!

[Freebasser]

why dont you go like, bleach and spike your hair again, or whatever it is you do.

You can't take my opinion without trying to throw a personal punch my way? Did I insult you? No.

You ARE a fucking twat.

I hope you die of blood poisoning when you get your tat by the way.

[afronaut]

I hope you die of blood poisoning when you get your tat by the way.
well, once again, i hope that someone mistakes your face for a potato and eats it.

I GOTTA SAY, YOU'RE PISSING ME OFF!

ok, here we go. i've thought about this a bit, and while I find the whole tattoo scene thingy to be not me, I find the idea of maybe one tattoo that means something to me to be somewhat appealing. you see, my friend plans to get her whole back tattooed, with like, skulls and tribal shit. you see, i think thats kinda retarded. however, i find getting one tattoo thats meaningful to me to be not retarded.

[Freebasser]

well, once again, i hope that someone mistakes your face for a potato and eats it.

Great comeback, kid. Oh, and if we're talking about dying and spiking hair, then I think you win in the unoriginality stakes, mate. Every fucking emo kid in the street looks like you.

well, you being the official and only drag queen of BBMB....i guess you are qualified to comment on originality of style.

if afro was commenting about wearing eyeliner instead of a tattoo, you probably wouldn't have problem....

each of those skull/tribal tattoos started from one little phantom-of-the-opera rose

yeah, not really. its not my fault my hair is naturally fabulous. you see, all i do with it is wash it every day, i could care less about styling it, or even having hair. while you obviously spend good time and money on your hair, getting it dyed, styling it, etc etc. so i think you win more in the "im a loser metrosexual" stakes, while i get all the "naturally gifted" points. potatohead.

[ms.peachy]

Dude, calm down. Have a pill. It's not my fault you did a crap job of explaining what you meant.

See, now that makes sense. Little heavy on the use of the word 'retarded' for my taste, but now I understand where you're coming from. Was that so hard?

[Qdrop]

while you obviously spend good time and money on your hair, getting it dyed, styling it, etc etc. don't forget primping, teasing, and the occasionaly wig wearing.....for when he really wants to let his inner-woman out.

[afronaut]

yeah, i mean really. what kind of a fag primps his hair?

[enree erzweglle]

I learned something from this thread.
I totally didn't know that tattoo was spelled that way. WTF.

[NurfBallJeaneus]

You know, it would probably make you more of an individual to not get a tattoo.

I totally agree...especially in North America.

[kll]

regardless of what you get, later on, as you get older, you'll think of better things of what you should've gotten...

out of my two tattoos, only one of them do i still LOVE!!!

Oh, I dunno. I'm still quite happy with all of mine.

[enree erzweglle]

I totally agree...especially in North America.
I agree too. I also think tattoos (notice correct spelling, thanks) will date you in time. (I cringe at the thoughts of having locked into my 80s hair and that's sort of what this is, life-locking into a trend.)

[beastieangel01]

why dont you go like, bleach and spike your hair again, or whatever it is you do.

I laughed.

[kll]

I have to admit that I just looked at the tattoo thread in sure shots and literally got grossed out at a few pics...

[wanton wench]

i think you should just get a fake one! ;)
then you can change it when you want to or just take it off!
you wont look like a loser! i promise!
*moves out of view, laughs hysterically*

[beastieangel01]

I wouldn't say I got grossed out but I was less than impressed with a lot of them.

I don't know, it's rare that I REALLY like a tattoo. Some I can just stand. Others I think are really ugly.


Thank God my boyfriends tattoo is one that I like, and it's small and easily hidden. I kind of like that, because it's like only I get to see it so it's special (unless we are at the beach) :p

you really should remind him that Speedos are so OUT...

[cosmo105]

a lot of my friends have tattoos and i think they're all shit. i've only ever seen a few tats that are really interesting and that i actually like. wait on it. for at least a year. if you still think you can live with it for the rest of your life after that long, then go for it. but personally, i'm not sure enough of anything that i would want on my skin forever.

i do want one thing, but it's far too expensive and i probably would wuss out anyway. i'd want the japanese tsunami design going over both arms and around my back. yeah, not going to happen.

[Sarky Devotchka]

I think if you get a tattoo, you should do something classic. Like a big anchor on your bicep. or a kitten on your elbow.

[cosmo105]

or a heart that says BABYGIRL.


my best friend got something stupid on her lower back and i call it her tribal flaming butterfly.

[Freebasser]

You never did respond to my comments about being a homophobe did you?

You fucking tool.

Afrogimp - I colour my hair about twice a year - that's a grand total of, wait for it, £40. Fuck me. I'm such a rich bitch.

[Qdrop]

You never did respond to my comments about being a homophobe did you? i have no problem with homosexuals on any level. i'm pro-gay marraige and gay adoption.
i use "fag" and "homo" as demasculinizing terms....like "bitch" or "pussy".

You fucking tool. dude, you frost and primp you hair.
that negates your ability to call ANYONE a tool.

I colour my hair about twice a year - oh my god, what a fag.

[beastieangel01]

you really should remind him that Speedos are so OUT...

haha. It's on his back/shoulder area. He never really has his shirt off unless we are at the beach :p

p.s. unrelated to your comment kll, calling someone a fag is one of the lamest insults ever. I can't stand when people do that.

[Freebasser]

oh my god, what a fag.

So I'm a fag (and that's not a derogatory term, is it?) for colouring my hair? This isn't "frosting" or "highlighting" this is dyeing parts of my hair one bright colour because I don't like the colour of my hair as it is. Other boardmembers here dye their hair - Cosmo for example. Is she a FAG?

I also love the way you're quoting what a teenager says about my hair and saying "LOL ur so funni". You constantly claim to have a life, but with each passing post, it looks less and less likely. Oh, and call me a FAG again, and I may take it upon myself to inform an admin, because I don't tolerate personal insults to my name.

[flower]

oh my god, what a fag.

Oddly enough I find Freebasser very good looking when it comes to his colored hair and the idea of fag never crosses my mind.

[Freebasser]

Thankyou :D

[cosmo105]

i, personally, am a FLAMING fag.

[kll]

I have to agree with flower and with cosmo... I love freebasser and definitely find cosmo to be a fag...

I'm really a gay man on the inside. I just ended up being born with a vagina.

So I'm a fag (and that's not a derogatory term, is it?) for colouring my hair? This isn't "frosting" or "highlighting" this is dyeing parts of my hair one bright colour because I don't like the colour of my hair as it is. gay.

Other boardmembers here dye their hair - Cosmo for example. Is she a FAG? no, because that's generally a feminine or metrosexual/gay practice in most cultures.
thus, that makes cosmo pretty normal...
and you pretty gay.

You constantly claim to have a life, but with each passing post, it looks less and less likely. random, unsubstantiated, canned retort. but i'm used to that from you by now.

Oh, and call me a FAG again, and I may take it upon myself to inform an admin, because I don't tolerate personal insults to my name. you're going to tattle on me?
that's pretty gay.

It depends on the color, and type of pigment, and also how deep it is. A professional tat should only go into the middle layers, homemade ones usually go deeper, and take more sessions to remove, thus causing more scarring.

uh dude it's the other way around. Professional tattoos tend to be harder to remove because they use alot MORE ink (professional guns push more ink ito the skin) and that makes them harder to breakdown. Homemade tats are NOT deeper, and usually use LESS ink, making them easier to remove.

[beastiegirrl101]

has anyone here ever gotten a tat removed? I have one on my stomach that I was considering getting removed...but I hear it hurts more to get it off than to get it on. . .

[CrankItUp!]

Try this : Get naked , hop in and out of the shower , then roll around in a big pile of comic books ! If your lucky , you might have some hulks on your nads , a thing on your ding a ling , and some spidermans on your pecs !And if you dont like the results , scrub the shit off and repeat again ! :D

INCORRECT!
A professional tattooer has more control over a professional gun and needle, an amateur tattooer with a homeade gun has no control. A professional tattoo goes through between 3 and 5 layers of skin, (about the width of a dime). This actually takes years to master. Homade ones almost alway go deeper, completly through all 7 layers of skin, this causes them to "bleed" or leach out making them become blury. I have both kinds, and have spoken to many, many people who have had them removed. Homade ones in fact are so hard to remove that most removals can take up to 10 sessions or more and then they still will not promise that the homade tat will be completely gone, and serious scaring can result. It's not the amount of ink involved, it's how deep the ink is, and with a home made gun or a bare needle there is no control over the depth.
