top three tattoo ideas for me.
a flame between my breasts
an iris on my back
a dragonfly on my shoulder blade
Smarty-pants! 
Yeah, right above where my bikini sits.
Still thinking…still thinking…good ideas, all!
Shaved head, flames tat back from forehead, as if on the hood of a hotrod.
Of course, you only saw them AFTER he got off the Harley and took of the WWI German helmet with the spike.
Sorry, I’ve been away from this thread for a while.
Japan. Those famous full-body tattoos you’ve probably seen pictures of are almost exclusively the mark of the yakuza (gangsters). Since most business owners figure gaining a reputation as a mob hangout will drive out the legit customers, they impose a blanket ban on tattoos (people can only tell he’s a yakuza by the visible markings, so banning the visible markings solves the problem, I guess).
What I think is interesting is that they find losing regular customers more intimidating than telling gangsters they’re not allowed in the shop!
–sublight.
My older brother (early 30s) has a huge squid on his shoulder. The body is on the shoulder itself, and the tentacles splay down his back, arm, and chest.
Not my choice of tattoo.
The damn near…lamest Tattoo that I have ever heard of would be the word “MOM” on a mans arm…honestly how could they call themselves a man after having that been put on their arm!
“Kim - Rot in Pieces”
I’m a big fan, but that tatoo is pretty freaky.
So do you (or anybody) know how to say "Pay Attention?
As in “If you want to become a great artist (achieve Buddah nature, avoid the heartbreak of solpisism…my to-list) you must pay attention…so, PAY ATTENTION!”
This is not a latin question hijack, this is a latin tattoo question semi-hijack.
i’ve seen a couple of gangster types with eyes tattooed on the back of their necks…i guess they would need them what with their extracurricular activities and all.
<hijack>
A woman comes into the tatto parlor and wants a turkey on the inside of one thigh and Santa Claus on the other. The tattoo artist asks “why”? The girl says “Everyone knows the best eating is 'tween Thanksgiving and Christmas”! <hijack>
Bunny Girl, here’s a suggestion, for years i always thought that if i would get a tat, i would get a little planet earth with the words “save the planet” around it. i’ve thought of this for ten years, but never done it. let me know what you end up getting, i’m curious.
kudos to red dragon, “the die is cast” is cool. i like that.
A dumb stoner girl in my bowling league decided to get a tattoo for her 18 birthday from her boyfriend. She had to hurry and get it early though, as he will be going to jail for his 3rd or 4th DUI. The tattoo is on the small of her back and contains a heart, and 2 pot leaves. Isn’t that the most romantic thing you’ve ever heard?
I saw
I conquered
I came

:Wipes tear away from eye: Ahhh young love :rolleyes:
I have a tattoo of a butterfly (full color) on my right “cheek”…around the butterfly are the words “Phenomenal Woman”.
This tattoo was not originally supposed to be on my butt, I wanted on my lower back, so it could be seen if I wore low slung jeans or shorts… I think the creepy tatoo guy just wanted to look at my ass… I’ve got a pretty nice ass. (wicked smile)
Everyone always asks how I could NOT know that he was sticking a needle into my ass and not my back. Believe me, I was in so much pain, I wouldn’t have noticed if he was sticking it in the soles of my feet.
Hilarious thread. This doesn’t come close to some of the hysterical things already mentioned, but my friend was just telling me he has a coworker who has a tat on his back of his son’s face, fingerprint, and footprint (yes, the coworker made my friend look at it). What is the point of a drawing of someone’s fingerprint/footprint?
On a general note…no offense to those who have tats on their backs (hey, if you’re happy with it, that’s the important thing), but I’ve never really understood the appeal of getting a tat placed somewhere that the tat’s owner can hardly see it. If you’re going to go through the pain, shouldn’t you be able to enjoy the results without being a contortionist?
