Forearm Tattoo Ideas?

Earlier in the thread it was suggested to get thunder and lightening tattooed … my question is: how do you tattoo thunder (the phenomenon … not the word)?

Wolverine claws!

ROFLL!!

I’m thinking about getting my pec redone… up to my shoulder, and down into a 1/2 sleeve… should be good…

Forearm tattoos are cool… but they are hard to hide…

I remembered this image from the tattoo thread. You better be a badass if you are going to pull it off.

A picture of your penis; you can fill in all the empty space with some cool tribals.

Great forearms ruined by an awful tat.

^holy shit, how’d they find my lat spread pics?

Check out how beef I was…

If you need to ask others for ideas, don’t get one. If you get it just because it’s “cool”, you’ll regret it some day.

How about no tattoo.

They peg you as a dumb ass and unless you want to work shitty jobs or be paranoid any one will see you outside of an office with out a long sleeve shirt on, you will absolutely be limited in options for work. [/quote]

You really think so? I’m a corporate mechanical engineer for a multi-billion dollar company. I run all of the mechanical engineering for the US and South America. I have both forearms very visibly tattooed. I make six figures at age 32. I make it a point to wear short sleeves in front of the board of directors to give the wind bags something to talk about.

I don’t really see any limitations there.

That is the difference between working in a “profession” and serving fries.

Sometimes one can choose not to exercise good taste at work with no recourse. Sometimes one cannot. Go figure.

One part of that is wearing a suit to the interview. Once they hire you, they really can’t fire you over tattoos. That would be a very easy lawsuit.

I get looked at funny anyways even if I didn’t have tats----6’3", 380, shaved head, goatee…I don’t look like an engineer. But I am damn good at what I do, and that also makes a difference.

lmao. I almost choked on my nuts.
Almonds that is.

If you need to ask, you shouldn’t get one. I didn’t ask anyone if I should get a seven headed cobra tattooed all over my arm, I just did it because I wanted to.

Personally I have

“Law” on my left forearm

and “Order” on my right forearm

beneath law i have “Detective Elliot Stabler” and on my right shin i have “Detective Olivia Benson”

You fight me you might get to meet the whole gang…

Something about seeing the detectives from SVU’s full names typed out on at T-Nation thread about forearm tattoos at 5:13 a.m made coffee come out of my nose.

thanks.

LOL–Exactly, now picture that in a big corporate meeting with VP’s and directors.

Luckily, nobody in my company does the suit and tie thing, the best I ever have to dress is a polo and khakis.

Attached pic is me at a meet in 2007. I was on my “comeback” at the time, I think I benched 765 that day. Later in the year I hit 905.

Now I’m working on learning to Arm Wrestle…LOL


Oh, and this is my left forearm
