Tattoo

I feel it bro, clocks really touched my soul too.
 
My Grandmother left me only a clock in her will; no explanation just a simple clock that ticks loudly, and I find it a bit disturbing to this day. Not the ticking, but the gift itself.
 
I'm also designing a big-ass sleeve for my left arm, but it consists of large bold shapes. I'm nowhere near done with it yet, though, so I'm not showing it here.
 
Get a dragon going down your arm with the mouth being your hand, so that when you move your thumb up and down it looks like it's talking!
 
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the same friend has a dragon over his right breast/shoulder. I hate it myself, I really dislike the obsession with dragons and mythical beasts some folk have, but it's pretty well detailed so I'll give it that.

I'd post pictures but I don't know how I feel about posting his pics all over the net.

Get barbed wire on your arm.

Saw a guy at Wal-Mart the other day, dude was king of the generic tattoo. He had a tribal on his bicep, barbed wire on the other, a spider web, a nautical star, a skull with a banner underneath, kanji, some other things I'm forgetting. He was a walking cliche. The greatest thing is he was some skinny white trash wigger-looking guy with his dumpy girlfriend.


Personally, I've been mulling over a few tattoos. Two friends and I are going to get the Joestar birthmark behind our left shoulders. And then, on my left and right shoulder, Uncle Phil on one shoulder and Carl Winslow on the other. The tattoo artist my friend goes to would do them for free just because it's an awesome idea that he wants in his portfolio. The only reason I haven't done those yet is because, while they'll be awesome now, I don't know if they'll still be awesome decades down the road.
 
I might get a dragon winding down around each forearm.

And brand a heron into each palm.

Joestar forever. A family 200+ years in the making.
 
Tattoos look good until you get in your 60s/70s and your skin starts sagging.

Stop everything you are doing and get these.

Depends what and where you get it.
 
Saying you might regret a tattoo decades from now seems a bit silly. It doesn't matter if it looks ugly (Or if they generally look bad over the age of 60), because you'll be old and saggy and people (including yourself) will already be revolted by the sight of you. They'll be choking on their own vomit if they see you without your clothes. A tattoo isn't going to make that worse.

And if it's just you that doesn't like the tattoo, then... you can get it removed. Surely 30 years from now the process of removal will be a lot cheaper and easier.
 
I think it's more like, looking back two-three years from now and thinking "wow that's a dumb tattoo i got..."
Which is what usually happens. Rarely does it take a full decade.

And then going through the very expensive, slow, and inefficient process of tattoo removal.

And then you can bitch to yourself that you aren't strong enough like some emo pussy and then sleep with three really stupid girls.
 
First one's not bad... the other ideas I wouldn't like.

Why's Rush mean something to you?
 
My sisters flatmate regretted hers and payed $120 a minute to get it removed...

Except you won't because Robert Jordan wasted years writing four shitty books before finally getting the series back on track and then died before he could finish the damn thing!
 
There are better ways to express your devotion, but if you are that determined to do it, email Neil and ask his opinion. He is a very approachable guy and will give you the best advice possible. Personally, I strongly advise against it, and would never have a tat based on somebody elses artwork (starman) anyway without getting the artists permission first, Hugh Syme is your man there but he's very hard to get a response from.

Just remember that in 30 years time any tattoo you have will be archaic and look like a mess of blurry varicose veins...

g'luck.

I took lessons for a while (2-3 years) wanting to be a guitar player, then I realized my music teacher was a complete douche bag and gouged me for sooo much money, and on top of that he was a terrible teacher (I taught myself more in 2 weeks then he ever taught me in 3 years.. That's sad), and when I quit I didn't touch my guitar for about 3 years.

Then one day I heard Rush playing The Spirit of Radio and I told my friend I really like this song, so he gave me Rush's whole discography (including live albums and all), and I sat for about 3-4 hours listening to every song. My original plan was to graduate high school then work in a factory with my dad (pretty much everyone in that factory didn't graduate high school, but they're all like 50-70). Anyways, I learned to play Tom Sawyer and it all came back to me, it literally changed my whole life plan. Because I started up again I'm going to college/university for 8 years for music and becoming a music teacher.

All because of Rush.

^This

Not many people are likely to be sexy at that age anyways. If they ever even were to begin with that is.
 
If I had to choose Rush themed tatoo it would be the Ouroboros from Snakes and Arrows.

That one is cool, too. Maybe I'll just get the wall of Rush albums on my back lol.
 
Why would you want a tattoo in the first place?

non-full body tattoos are for casuals
 
^that would be all over the walls in HL2

@Dog: My girlfriend's brother has the first one from your first post on the top of his right forearm, it actually looks really good. It's black throughout with a red line bordering it.
 
*Jaw drops*

Everyone here always wonders why I don't like to share my tattoo ideas.

That's a last and only.
 
I realize this more all the time. I guess you shouldn't share anything that you don't want to share.
