On the SAMA forum Sylar showed T-Nation a couple of well-placed tattoos. That got me thinking about how most T-Nation members feel about tattoos. For those who compete, I suppose having tattoos can detract from what you are trying to accomplish, but what about those who don’t?
I ride with a motorcycle ‘group’ where everyone is sporting tattoos. I don’t have any…yet.
Care to share your thoughts on this topic? and perhaps post some pics of your tattoos?[/quote]
I’m glad you liked them Porz!

From what I’ve seen. You have 3 kinds of people when it comes to tats. Ones who don’t give a fuck and tat up all over, then the people who gets tattoos that they regret years later.
Then you have the person who is very dilligent when it comes to getting tattoos that actually represent something special to them (e.g. deceased family members/good friends name/picture, family coat of arms)
There’s this one cage fighter who visited an Aztec Temple, he saw etching in stone of an eagles wings spread out. He felt a spiritual connection with it and its surroundings and was compelled to have it on his body. So it represents something more then just trying to look or be “cool” when he sees it. [/quote]
OMG You hit the nail on the head. I’m so emotional right now and I haven’t even taken any clomid. For me it would be like a pyramid or the Taj majal or that arch in Seattle.

You seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders so this really surprises me. How young were you?
That being said I have 2 and they both suck. A tribal piece on my back (how original!) and a topless woman (looks like a stripper) on my side. My theory on tattoos is that whoever you are right now, in 10 years you probably won’t be the same person anymore. People are always evolving and changing so they won’t mean the same things and they’ll just be retarded. The only problem is that after people get something that is so permanent, they have a hard time admitting it was a mistake. People lie to themselves everyday pretending they love they’re tattoos when I bet more people regret them than they admit.

Get them in a place that doesn’t show in court.
I don’t wear the same style shirts I wore 20 years ago. I can’t imagine putting “art” on my body that I expect I will love for the rest of my life.
Our culture tends to jump on the trends bandwagon. Tattoos used to be cool and counter-culture. Nowadays they’re so prevalent, I don’t even “see” them anymore. It’s like a big indecipherable blob on the wearer.
Only get one if you understand the fact it will be on you forever… for some reason people tend to forget this.
Don’t be an idiot (referring to number 1). You’re mom/dad/sibling/kids will always be family, your girlfriend most likely won’t. Jokes aren’t usually funny for your whole life. If you don’t speak japanese and your tattoo artist doesn’t speak japanese, how do you know it says “strength” on your arm?
If you aren’t in a tribe, its not really a “tribal” its more of a “douche”. If you want to be a business professional, neck/face/hand tattoos aren’t a great idea. If you think of an idea when you are drunk, it probably isn’t the greatest idea. You get the point… I hope.
Put some effort into it. Flash can be good for inspiration, but don’t go into a shop pointing at something on their wall and say “I want that.”
Know your artist. There are a lot of good artists, and even more bad ones. Look at different artists, compare their styles and work, and make sure you like it. You can have an artist that is awesome at black/white realistic stuff, but sucks at traditional americana tattoos… or vice versa.
Also, there are a lot of good artists who are tools, douchebags, drunks, crackheads, and sleeze balls… don’t support them. If you wouldn’t want to hang out with them, you probably don’t want them drawing on you for a few hours.
The best tattoo ever!!

Personally I like tats but I won’t get another unless it has meaning.

Plan ahead. Tattoos are addicting.[/quote]
There should be legislation that requires this info to be on a sign in front of every tattoo shop in the USA.
I have a tattoo on my upper bicep I’ll show here for fun; bad picture, I know, but to address all those that say a tattoo is forever- I had a bad, bad chinese dragon I got for free covered up recently. I did my research, and found a guy who does seminars on coverups at big tattoo conventions in LA right in my backyard. He was great, very understanding, and had a silk light touch. A HUGE difference from the jail cell experience in some metal dude’s house in the woods.
I’m also planning a sleeve on my right arm that’s video game related. My first appointment is July 31st. Will I think it’s awesome sauce when I’m 85? I’m not sure, but video games have been a huge part of my life since I was five, and I think they will always hold a special place in my heart for how my life has changed because of my passion for them.
Today, I’m a graphic designer for a video game company, I’ve been to E3, and I intend to shape the rest of my career around Japanese translation and localization. It’s my passion. Therefore, I feel it’s not as frivolous as putting a tasmanian devil with a lacross stick on my bicep.
Call me an asshole for it, but I can’t wait.

I really like tats but I’ve never thought of anything that I’d like to have on me forever. I have a wicked brand scar on my left arm but that’s as close as I ever got.
Most people, especially chicks, look better without them imo.

I was 18. It was my very first tattoo. I got it done at Sharkeys in Huntington Beach CA. The guy was really cool about it, but he warned me like 100 times that while the tattoo is permanent, the girl might not be.
Her reaction to it was more than I hoped for and incidentally, she got my name tattooed on her lower back, but when we split she got it covered up.

I disagree. Tattoos can be very sexy on a girl, especially ones running down their legs to their feet.
Not a big fan of the “tramp stamp” though.

I’m a huge fan of bikini line tats on women. Hell. Yes.
