Members p00n Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 So I'll be entering college in about 2 months, and it's about as good a time as any to mark this occasion. One thing, I've never gotten inked yet, and am considering getting my first tattoo. Something simple. I've always believed that simple text based tattoos should be reminders to yourself rather than just ornamental pieces for others to admire. But of course there are aesthetic factors to consider. So I'm thinking of getting two lines of text tattooed on my left forearm, just below my elbow joint. Like this but about half an inch lower. And I won't let her down My soul is celestial bound The only thing would be that it'll be facing me. Hell it's for me after all. Fail? Win? Do whatever the {censored} you want?

Members pbone Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 I mean personally, I've never seen a text tattoo that I've liked. And don't get it upside down. That would just look dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members goodhonk Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 I think if you're gonna get a tattoo, just get one: the words, 'I'm dumb.' That's it. That way in 10 years, when you go, 'Why did I get this?,' you can be like, 'Oh, I'm dumb!' - d. tosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AcheWater Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 One of the singers in my band has 7-5-75 tatoo on the inside of his left bicep. It s the date his grandfather died (who raised him since his dad abandoned him at childbirth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 Don't get it upside down. Seriously. The meaning to you is the same regardless of which way round you get it, but if you get it upside down the artist will think you're a dick (trust me), and you'll get smart asses asking you why it's upside down every single day. You can't pretend you're not getting it partly for aesthetic reasons - otherwise you wouldn't care how well it's done or what font is used - and aesthetically, upside down looks {censored}.

Members pbone Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 if something means a lot to you, should you really need to tattoo it on yourself to remember it? Neither of my tattoos, and probably none of my future tattoos, will be because of sentimental reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TravvyBear Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 Don't do it, young man. Don't think so? I'm pretty set on getting it, I just don't know when. Its really the only tattoo I want, probably small and on my forearm. I've thought about the Radiohead bear too, but, I sometimes second guess that one, and if its permanent I imagine you don't want to be second guessing yourself..

There are just probably hundreds of people out there that have the Radiohead bear or the John Lennon thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted July 22, 2010 Members Share Posted July 22, 2010 Second that about getting something unique. If you really want a tattoo, find an artist who works in a style you like and have them draw something up custom for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
