Would it be stupid to tattoo text so you can read it?

[six acre lake]

Radiohead bear?

John Lennon Imagine?

Both of those are extra gay covered in cock sauce and you will slap yourself stupid later in life.

If you were smart you would get the tasmanian devil on your calf.

Eh, I wouldnt do it to be unique. I just like the image/the person a lot. I'd really only like 2 or 3 small tattoos max. I'm not interested in getting a sleeve or anything big done.

[Uma Floresta]

And I won't let her down My soul is celestial bound

 

 

That's dumb. It's grammatically incorrect too - "celestial" is an adjective, not a noun, when you're referring to a place.

[H.R. Shove and Stuff]

Nothing like getting a tattoo of a wife beating, drug abusing bad father on yourself. I'd prefer getting one of O.J., but whatever floats your boat.

 

Just kidding, my pants get shorter when I think of John Lennon.

Music tattoos aren't a good idea in my opinion. You like these bands now, but what about 15 years from now? Then all you have is John Lennons face on your arm looking at you like "yep, should've seen that one coming, buddy".

[~GOD~]

you really want something that stupid on your body for the rest of your life?

I have a "music tattoo" but it's not really of anything immediately recognizable unless I told you. It's from some album art though.

But I'm kind of on the fence for more album art. There's a ton of album art that I legitimately enjoy, but it seems like there's a general stigma against getting anything music related for the WHAT ABOUT IN 15 YEARS LLBLHABLHAL. But I mean, I could see getting something like this devoid of musical meaning:



I guess I'm not asking a question more than just picking my brain.

asking others if they think its a good/bad/cool idea is stupid. get whatever you want, however you want and tell them to eat a cockmeat sandwich.

I don't think it's stupid. I'm assuming this is the lyrics from Another Space Song, which is a great song.

 

Failure rips and if you like them enough do it. It's still cool if you don't end up liking them in a few years.

[CicadaSilence]

If you have to ask, you'll never know.

It can't be that baaaaaa-aa-aa-aaad

 

If it makes you haaappyyyyyyy

 

Then why the hell are you sooo saaaaaad?

 

 

 

 

Ah childhood car rides.

These tattoo threads are both flooding the forum and making me sick at the same time, seeing some of the crap you people tag yourself with.

It's pretty common to see text tattoos both ways. I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you're planning sleeves just be consistent with the orientation of things.

my tat says HCFX in sanskrit. cause I'm legit, yo.

On the arms? I've never seen it oriented in the direction of the person's own eyes. Not once.

If you're planning sleeves, for god's sake don't even think about an upside down full sleeve.

It's becoming a pretty common request, but a lot of artists refuse to do it because it's stupid - most of the tattooers I know have to talk people out of this {censored} on a daily basis. Often it's girls wanting upside down cholo on their wrists.

Okay, here's something that you can answer: how often do artists refuse to do stupid ideas? I guess that well known artists can refuse to do anything, but what about your run of the mill shops? I would assume that they have to pretty much do whatever comes to them to stay afloat.

Yeah wrists are where I see it the most for sure.

 

I dunno, trends in tattoos do change over time.

The guys at the top of their game can pick and choose whatever they like, and some do. That's not always to do with stupid ideas though, more often than not it's just if they specialise in a particular style and someone is asking for something else. But your Average Joe wanting a crappy ganja leaf or a bit of tribal would be put off by the 6 month + waiting list and/or price of the piece anyway, so usually these guys get lucky in that their clientele are a bit more discerning than the average street shop customer, and are happy to wait and pay accordingly for the quality they're looking for.

 

But your average street shop tattooer... yeah, often they can't be too picky about what they do. It's pretty common they'll turn down racist stuff etc, but often they'll tattoo the really {censored} stuff just because they have to make ends meet. The ones that particularly disappoint me are the ones who happily tattoo 18 year olds' hands and necks, because no 18 year old is ready to make that sort of decision, and no artist should ever be so hard up for business that they'll do that. It's irresponsible beyond belief.
