Not that it is germane, but I don't dig it because my religion is against it. The same supposedly with piercings, although there's no explanation why ear lobes are alright. IP: Logged |

I love tattoos, very much. So that my current relationship is with a tattoo artist, lol.I have six tattoos so far, one of them I haven't finished yet: it's the zodiacal constellations, just the stars, blue ones, delicate, no lines connecting them. Someone told about this kind of design here, I was surprised, it's not very common ^^ IP: Logged |

I find them quite sexy!!! on the right body, with the right placement, of the right style, proportion/quantity, and colouring, and having meaning or intriguing explanation behind them especially, that is!!! like: (lower left quadrant abdomen/hip) (shoulder to shoulder back, same gentleman) For me... I'm too indecisive to commit to anything, really. But, I'm hoping to get something like this done for mother's day this year... (this may be a better idea than when I had my lip piercing done for my first mother's day at least! lmfao) (I have no idea who that wrist belongs to really, or what their tattoo reads.. but, every other search only gave me the inside portion of the wrist... so this will have to do!) ^^; I want one like my sister-in-law and cousin-in-law have of their son's names. My SiL is getting her second son's name on the inside this summer as well, to make it a full bracelet. ^^; It's not large at all, but it's legible, and it's visible but not tactless/flashy/offensive.... ^^; (which are bonuses from where I stand, at least!) lol I will be using my son's initials, and his big 3 in it, I expect it to read - something... like... (if you can imagine just for a moment) heeee~heeee!!! "D *Aries* R *Libra* B *Leo*" ~ this has speical meaning in this order too, because his middle name is my grandfather's and my grandfather was a Libra... ^^; it's not a big deal - but still, important to me enough that I can say, "I, mothfarm-mommy, have finally decided on ink being "permanently" rendered onto my flesh" lol I may even be letting my lil cousin-in-law (the apprentice) be the one to do this~ if her mentor allows her to take the opportunity. ^^ she's been coming along really well in her training, hopefully by that time~ she can be the one to do it for me, and add even more meaning to it! ^^ I'd really like that, but if not it will be done by her amazing mentor who has done all the family tattoos in the past 20 odd years. lol I've had Ben (lil cousin) designing ideas for a capricorn/boar tattoo but so far, I haven't settled to any of them... she has the right idea, but it never looks as good on paper/drawn out as I see it in my mind... (if you know what I mean... right?!) I have NEVER seen a tattoo of a goat that I actually liked... and the only time I've seen one of a boar that was, in my mind, cool looking... is when it was actually for some sports team! lol yeah... lol I really would rather something like the Erymanthian boar and a ferocious version of a Sea Goat (maybe even go for the khimaera itself); for just below the outermost portion of each shoulder blade around them and contouring up where they'd meet just below the neck... but, it's hard to describe such a thing... either way that's the only other place I've /ever/ thought to really have tattooed... shoulders/below neck... I wanted a scarab there when I was very young (16, with my mother in her 30s)... but, my mother changed her mind about getting hers done so we never went for them. After that, I just became more and more fickle about designs... >.< (I had a time when I wanted one in such a place as RedScorp, I believe... but, I wanted a shamrock, because... then... when anyone saw it.... they'd know they were damn lucky!) XD

Johnny depp has been tatt busy. Last time I looked into his tats they weren't so many. http://www.deppimpact.com/bodyart.php Silence Exile Cunning This tattoo was first seen at the MTV Movie Awards in June 2008. It's on the inside of his left lower arm and it reads "Silence Exile Cunning". This is from the book by James Joyce A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. A few pages before the end of the book, the main character says: "I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, cunning." #socool IP: Logged |

I like them but only if they're are only a couple of them, not a lot. For instance, 2 tattoos are fine. It also depends on they look and where they are.IP: Logged |

Because too many tattoos spoil the individual . They end up being more ink that themselves; Which is a turnoff. Like everything good in life, moderation is key. IP: Logged |

I suppose it also forces me to stay fit. But I'm the type to do these things. Buy a house and work for it. Get hitched and commit. Buy jeans a size smaller and drop weight. IP: Logged |

I also don't want to look like a skater. Coz well I dun skate. I think there is a lot of mash ups between those subcultures... IP: Logged |

What Xodian said. Sometimes tattoos become so tacky :\ And some tattoos are so hideous!

That's body paint and digital rendering, a graffiti artist painted that on someone's body. It's the work of Russian graffiti artist "знаг" http://streetfiles.org/photos/detail/1574626/ IP: Logged |

i've been looking for one particular female artist for years (that I had come across many years ago). now i'm wondering if I dreamt it or not. her work was incredible and no matter what i type into the search engine I never turn her up! maybe she stopped working too...IP: Logged |
