From what I've seen, OT loves to share and express opinions on just about anything. I'm getting a tattoo and of all the ideas I've juggled (the same 3-4 of them, for maybe a year and some change now) I believe I've come to a final decision. I think if I'm going to send any sort of message, and am going to remind myself of on a day to day basis, it might as well be words I can live by or relate to life in general. It's something that will keep me on top of my game and in a positive headspace, which has been of great challenge, but that's a different story for a different day. I want to get it on my left bicep.

What do you think about it?

*The color in the portrait is for reference, I do not want the map. Also, I am slightly lighter skinned than Muhammad in this picture.

I wouldn't get a dude's face tattooed on me, but it's your decision.

I'm not offering any tattoos, but isn't it true that the tattoo looks really bad and shriveled when you get old? I mean I don't want, if I get old, to have some mess of ink and designs on my skin.

It's your skin do what you like but my advice is to place the tattoo where it would be still ok in a working environment.

I have a full sized tattoo of my face on my face......anyway, I think tattoos are cool, I got mine when I was young and foolish but dont regret it. Just make sure its something you will be happy with for the rest of your life.

If the tattoo has meaning then by all means go get it. I am not really a fan of that tattoo though. I hope to get three in my lifetime.

If I saw someone with a tattoo that looked like that, I'd probably laugh.

I'm not that hyped over the picture either, but it was the best 5 minute Photoshop job I could do. I'm confident in the artist to take the picture and turn it into something amazing.

When he said them he was talking to Don King, and whoever else doubted he could beat George Foreman. To be more accurate he said "All of you, I know you got 'em, I know you got 'em picked. But the man's in trouble, I'm going to show you how great I am." I found it inspiring and only wish I faced every challenge with the same tenacity and confidence.

Is that even possible as a tattoo? The transparent lettering over the face? It might look weird in ink..

I was going to come in here and talk badly about kids getting random, meaninglesstattoos just to say they have one, but you seem to have put a lot of thought into choosing something that really speaks to who you are.

If you know for a fact that you will always respect the person your are going to tattoo on your own skin, go for it. I think you really really need to be sure.
