Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 PBone, I'm really jealous of where you live. SF/Bay Area is the tattoo Mecca of the world. If I had to compile a list of my 10 favourite living artists, a good 7 or 8 of them would be within 30 miles of SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pbone Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 I recently relocated to Seattle, but yeah, SF has some really great places. What are some of your favorites? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Exdeath Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 how old are you, outta curiosity? Anyway, yeah, what they said. If you have to ask, you're not ready for one. Much better ways to celebrate an occasion, anyway. I picked up my Gibby as a graduation present for myself after uni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 I'm superobsessed with bay area tattooing. I have to get out there some day, but I'll need about $2500 tattoo money to make it worth my while. It'll be hard co-ordinating waiting lists too, to schedule 3 or 4 tattoos into a 2 week break. I'll do it one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bengerm77 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've always wanted to get a tattoo on my dick of an even bigger dick. ...For the ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carrier street Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 My view on tattoos has changed/is changing. I think it's probably because of the overwhelming number of bad ones that I see anymore. It's become a fashion fad as much as anything. In 10 years, no one will think tattoos are cool, because everyone's parents will have them. Plus I'd look ridiculous at 40-50 vacationing in St. Barts with a giant chest piece. My .02, do what makes you happy. Just keep reminding yourself that it's forever, and it will inevitably become either a trophy or a scar of your misspent youth.

Members Ovid9 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 I don't have any script tattoos. But, I do have "directional" tattoos. I have 2 crosses on my inner wrists. They are oriented "away" from me, so, if I show them, they are upside down to me, but right-side up to everyone else. Its your body, but you sound pretty young (i didn't get mine til my late 20s....too damn practical with my money i guess) and words that mean a TON to you now....well....do you want them staring YOU in the face forever? Or....facing the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pbone Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Trophy of my misspent youth is mother {censored}ing right. I'd rather look at my tattoos and say to myself "{censored} yeah, I spent my youth kicking ass and getting tattoos on a whim" instead of sucking dick as an unpaid intern (read: modern slavery) and wasting my time pushing paper for some giant company.

Members intern Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Seems like an odd place to commemorate your gran pep. Well its gonna be decent size, probably wont fit on my arm, not sure where i would get it on my upper torso. Thigh just seemed like a good place, like right above the knee.

Main catalyst for this change: Two days hanging around a pool in Las Vegas. I feel like everyone under the age of 25 thinking of getting a tattoo should be made to suffer through that unholy art show. And I dig tattoos. I have a few, including on the inside of my left wrist.

Members LSDis4me Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 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 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members p00n Posted July 24, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 Holy {censored}storm. Alright, random internet strangers, calm the {censored} down. You're entitled to your views on tattooing and the possibly wildly incorrect assumptions you have of tattooed individuals. I was just throwing it out there, it was a tossup of either below the elbow, or across the left side of my chest above my heart. No, it wouldn't be mirror imaged or visible wearing a shirt, and I don't regularly expose myself in public. Yes, it's from Another Space Song, and the way I interpret it, the message is pretty universal and timeless. So it's hardly in reference to the song or band in particular, they just said it right.

I didn't get my tattoo until I was 39, I waited that long to make sure I wouldn't regret it. I didn't get it done to be 'cool' or to annoy my parents. I got it done because I wanted it, for me. ... nothing is 'inevitable' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChuckNorris1982 Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 Ignore the haters Simon, they're predictable, and show up in every conversation or thread on tattoos. They're too closed minded to see anything from anyone else's point of view. Let's just say not all tattoos are the cliched fashion statement that misguided individuals get to 'fit in' or look cool. I honestly know people through the UK tattoo convention circuit that have been getting tattooed for over 40 years, and continue to do so without regret.

Members bedtime Posted July 24, 2010 Members Share Posted July 24, 2010 some people just get tattoos because they love the process, the art, and how it looks when its done. not every tattoo is a tribute, or some deep emotional thing. pretty sure my squid bbq'ing at the bottom of the ocean doesnt mean anything, its just hilarious and awesome.
