Tattoos

Mark Bertolini · 05-30-2008, 06:11 PM

Who's got 'em? And where?

I'm thinking about getting my boys names on the inside of each bicep. Any recommendations about this placement? I've heard it's really painful there.

Little help?

As if kids didn't cause enough pain?

Why there, man?

Ooh, yeah, lots of nerves there. It'll not only hurt getting it done, it'll be hard to keep that part of your arms from chafing against your sides during the healing period. Why not on your shoulders instead?

I am currently tattoo-free. If I were to get a piece done, it would be a big, cohesive piece that would probably cost a fortune, so I'm putting it off for a while. And really, the fact that everyone and their dog has ink these days is kind of off-putting.

Besides, it'll be really awkward when you break up with your kids and get some new ones to have their names still on your arms.

So you're bucking the trend by not getting a tattoo. That's so PUNK!!

I love tattoos. Love the art and love the meaning they can hold. That said, not for me. Besides, if I were going to have tattoos they'd have to be my own design. The drawback to that? I'm never happy with my own work. So I'll just not bother.

I have a tattoo on my penis that reads "1x1" and when I'm erect it reads "1x1=1"

Because I want to be able to hide them for work.

How bout on your back or chest then?

If he gets them on his chest, then people will just think he's named his man-boobs.

Calloway · 05-30-2008, 08:19 PM

But if he does have man boobs he could simply get the tatts underneath and when he wants, lift his boobs up to show them off

Biofungus · 05-30-2008, 09:15 PM

Damn, that's a great fucking idea... And if the kids have any "i"s in their names, he's already got the dots...

I want to get one but can't decide on what.

I've always had an idea for some kind of mysterious symbol that looks all archaic and cryptic. I thought about things like old religious symbols (the Tree of Life or the Talisman of Solomon), occult symbols, zodiac symbols, or even latin phrases written in kryptonian. That last one sounds geeky, I know, but not many people outside our community know what Kryptonian looks like. To most of them, it would simply be some crazy symbols that looks like it opens the gates to Hell or something.

If anyone wants to create some wild symbol like that, I just might tat it!

im getting my girlfriend's name behind my ear..

Biofungus · 05-30-2008, 09:42 PM

IOW, you want to score brownie points with her, but don't really care enough to get her name somewhere more prominent...

You should get her name tattooed on your ass, then tell her, "honey, I couldn't even get by, much less sit down, without your support." Or if she has a sense of humor, "When it all comes out in the end, there you are waiting".
