Poll: Do you have a tattoo

[Supreme Unleaded]

If you count my Red Badge Of courage as a tatoo then yes.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

I have the transformers decepticon logo on me arm just below my shoulder. It's blank now but i plan on filling it in with the old school decepticon purple.

 

[Spygon]

i have three

two on my shoulders and one on my back

 

[esperandote]

i think they look ok and if i was going to get one i would like a whole sleeve but i most likely never get one.

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

i will have some but I'm 15 now.

Where do ya'll live? if it's in the Austin area I could get tatooes from ya'll whenever I do get some

Yeah, it is pretty annoying, but luckily there is a way around it. I mean, how many blacklights are cops and teachers going to run into?

You know, I would've loved having a teacher with a few tattoos. Kill some class time by asking about the stories behind them.

That's what I'm saying... at least this way students will engage their teachers in conversation/discussion instead of whiling away the time by drooling on their notepads.

No teachers with tattoos at my old school, either... but our English teacher (9th/10th grade) had a face full of scars, that made for some lovely conversation. The guy way pretty cool, we had lots of laughs with him and the lessons were never boring. ^^

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I don't have one. I might get one in the future, probably a band one, like the metallica star or the offspring skull somewhere discreet.

 

[KuroShinigami]

Why thank you.

My brother wanted us to get their tattoos on our hands, so we figured blacklight ink would help conceal them, since I want to be a cop and he wants to be a teacher. Neither job really allows visible tattoos.

Seriously, no visible tattoos allowed in teaching? What country do you live in?
I was worried about this as well, seeing as I'm gonna be a teacher myself, so I did some research back then... luckily, over here in Germany visible tattoos are no problem in that particular profession (as long as they aren't overly violent or obscene).
Maybe someday I'll get another tattoo, when I'm not constantly broke or blowing what little money I have on games... ^^° I'd go for the dagger chain from 'Prince of Persia: Two Thrones', snaking its way down the length of my forearm.

America. It's apparently too "unprofessional" or something.

Really? i live in america and one of my teachers has two tattoos that are visible when he wears a t-shirt... perhaps it's the area you live in?

i don't have any yet, but i do plane to get some in the near future, since my employers would be fine with it.

 

[Jaqen Hghar]

I got one, might get another one someday.

I am one of those who think people who just pop by to get a tattoo are kinda stupid. If the only reply you can give when the artist ask what you want is "something cool", then you should not get a tattoo.

I waited almost two years before I took mine. I found something I really wanted, and before that I never even considered taking a tattoo. I printed it out, and hung the print on the wall. This way I would see it every day. If I tired of it I wouldn't do it.
Then I broke my back, which really made me want this tattoo even more. Ye'see, it's an ankh, which is an ancient Egyptian symbol for life and immortality. So I took it a few years ago, and I am really happy with it.

Spoiler: Here it is

If I am going to get another one, I want something on my arm. Probably something crazy. Would really like something in the style of Psychonauts or something...

 

[The Shade]

Maybe someday, but probably not. No idea what I would get that I'd be sure I wouldn't regret later.

Also, I have low pain tolerance. That does get in the way.

Maybe I'll go Illustrated Man style. How much could that possibly hurt?

That must've been fun. It just seems like teachers in my area are meant to hate their jobs.

Maybe. Damn you, Tennessee!

 

[Gritimo The Odd]

There are people who tatoos look good on and there are those who don't, I definately fall into the latter category

 

[chefassassin2]

I have 5 right now, and am working on a full arm-sleeve with an artist buddy of mine. I used to think it was the dumbest thing ever to get one, but as time went on, I realized how much I liked them as a form of self-expression, and got hooked. No regrets whatsoever!

Also, I have low pain tolerance. That does get in the way.

You know the funny thing about that? I thought my ink on my foot, back, and right leg near my knee was gonna hurt like a *****, but it really doesn't hurt that bad at all.

 

[Jurassic Rob]

I have one on my arm of a comic book series I read as a kid; Calvin and Hobbes

 

[Chicago Ted]

No.
But I am considering it.

Same as me then.

 

[bad peanut]

I have a shamrock on my left arm with drink fight fuck written around it in old English! Yay for being Irish and fighting stuff!

 

[Broady Brio]

Nah, I'll probaley regret it when I'm older.

 

[War Penguin]

No, nor do I plan on getting one. A nerd like me with a tattoo would look ridiculous. Funny but ridiculous.

 

[magnuslion]

Just the one visible in my avatar. I plan to get several more when money allows me too.
It a kabbalah symbol, for those that are curious, a combination of symbols and signs that dictate the purpose of my existence.

 

[historybuff]

None, personally. But sometimes I think about it.
