Anyone have some cool tattoos to show? I respect anything anyone likes just curious as to what the Gspot has.
I really want some tatoos, but frankly I do not know what.
I definately want a few beer and brewing related ones, and I imagine if I had kids I'd put them on. Hop vines look cool, I imagine them intertwined with barley stalks would be cool...I'd problably get my kids names tatoo'd on my shoulder, and if they went to college maybe put their mascot on there as wel.

I really like small tatoos, someone on Gamespot gave me that idea. It was a girl user (girl, you say?!), I think she was Dutch or something, but she had this collection of a bunch of really colorful, small tatoos in a small area and it just looked really, really cool.
enough ass talk where are the pics!? I thought OT would be better than this. Ill upload some and post it to try and start it off....
If your talking to me...lol I'll bump and add some tomorrow. I'm buzzzzzzzed and lazy as hell right now.sounds awesome I Want to see pics.

Taken as a tribute to my wife. Custom-made after her body. This is the first photo right after i could take the protection off. A couple of years ago now.

sweet, the hair looks really cool! Any recent pics of it?!
Was originally my ex-fiancéesinitials.. but I got them covered up with this.
My way to express that what anyone views as God is not some supreme being, but something you yourself control.
I might of taken that picture upside down.. It's the back of my neck, so I dunno. It is supposed to mean fate or destiny.. I can't remember, I was really drunk, but for all I know it means penis.
That was my grandmothers favorite flower... There were thousands of them at her funeral, and I want to always have one with me.

Thanks buddy. It sure ain't nothing like the hair on the actual person though. ;)
Considering there are several people here who seem interested in getting a tattoo i could tell you a bit about it.
It doesn't hurt as much as you think though it does take longer than you think, so you still have to sit there and endure pain for several hours. The needles give that kind of pain that hurts when they go in and out but doesn't leave any pain once they actually stop filling you up with paint. It doesn't make you numb or sore or anything. The moment they stop, the pain is gone. If they however come across a nerve when making it you better be prepared for several minutes of some of the most intense stinging you'll ever feel.
Even though it is a life-time modification of your body, after mine was done and i first saw it in the mirror at the tattoo-place it actually felt like it always had been there and felt completely natural, probably since i had wanted to do it for long. I didn't even feel any joy or surprise at all. It just felt like something that always was a part of me had returned. lol
The body treats tattoos as burn-injuries. So the area needs to stay very clean and have barely any pressurized contact with anything. You musn't press down anything on it and slide it over the skin or half your skin can come loose with it. When you shower you musn't point the shower-head so that the ray of water goes directly against the tattoo, rather than showering above the tattoo and letting the water rinse down over it. The area will also get extremely dry. I'm talking getting up in the morning and seeing this in the mirror kind of drought:
So you have to use some healing and moisurizing cream several times per day and every time it feels dry, including before going to bed and getting up in the morning.
After a few days there will be a new skin-layer created over the tattoo that in my language is called the equal of "silver-skin". It is a very thin layer of skin that makes the tattoo look kind of gray. This is the layer of skin that you need to take good care of for a couple of weeks to finalize the treatment. The silver-skin will keep the moisture of the skin much better so that you don't need to moisturize it so often anymore.
For me i couldn't stop moisturizing a few times per week until after about eight months. Since then it doesn't need any treatment at all. Though i must warn you people with bad or fat skin that you'll probably get acne on your tattoo pretty often. This acne can actually press up the color so much that you can see the regular skin color underneath in the centre, but it'll look fine again once it goes down. The color is actually very shallow, even though most tattoos look like they have colored you all the way into your bone.
It's definitely worth the pain, but make sure you pick a pattern that you really can see yourself wearing for life because it's quite an expensive method of changing your appearence. Don't be afraid to tell the tattooist to change something while you still are there if you want him/her to. You'll really regret it if you don't get it perfectly right.
This is how the contrast goes down once the silver-skin develops.
I would only get one if it actually had meaning to it. I'm not just going to get one because it "looks cool". I think that's stupid.Ghost_702
True, but every time someone sees it you have to go through that whole "What does it mean?" speech, I hate that.

If that's all the case, how long would it take to say, get a back tattoo with roughly 50 hours of work? Would it take 2 years before it's finally done?

my dragon took about 5 hours.....and it's fairly detailed...2 visits...one for the outline and one for the coloring....If that's all the case, how long would it take to say, get a back tattoo with roughly 50 hours of work? Would it take 2 years before it's finally done?
my dragon took about 5 hours.....and it's fairly detailed...2 visits...one for the outline and one for the coloring.... I guess what I was wondering is how long between visits? I assume that you have to wait until the part from the last session heals. The thing is I want to get a large phoenix tattoo. It will take many sessions, but I don't plan on living in this area in a year's time. I don't want to go to my tattoo artist for half of it and finish with another from where I move. I also don't want to do the alternative and constantly fly in for another session (although I guess I could if I had to).I guess what I was wondering is how long between visits?

no tattoos yet. i want to get one, or a few, but i don't know what a want, and i want to make sure it's something i actually want and won't be sick of after a year. so instead of posting pictures of my tattoos, i will post some of the ones by the guy my cousins go to :P these are not their tattoos, just ones the guy has done to other people. i think they look pretty damn good.
