Poll: Would you ever want a tattoo?

[[.redacted]]

No, I change too much to carry my past with me.

But if I was to have one at the moment, it would be:

 

[Kargathia]

I guess a man would have a hard time being respected if he has a little Hello Kitty tattoo on his forarm

It takes a real man to wear pink. Or tights. Or hello kitty tats.

And already got two tattoos myself: a phoenix and a panther, both done for personal reasons.

"Its my 16 year old self swearing at whatever I become in the future"

Shit man, I just realised that I need to get something ridiculous-with-some-teenage-angst fast, before I grow up...

 

[Flamezdudes]

No, its just very unnecessary and strange to me. I don't know why, hell I even don't wear any sort of jewellery at all and it puts me off when people wear even the smallest amount sometimes. :/

 

[superbatranger]

I have 1, 2....6 ideas for tattoos. So, I guess that constitutes as a yes.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

No, a tattoo is a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.

So's a baby, and if you get one of those you get tax credits.

I may get one. Maybe the Black Mesa symbol. Even when I'm 150 that'll still be an awesome game.

 

[Archemetis]

Well, yeah sure I would.

I'm actually planning to get a Question Mark on my right shoulder.

Why? I dunno seemed better than getting something 'symbolic' that I'll regret later when my thoughts about it inevitably change.

At least with a question mark when people ask:

'What's that mean?'
I can just say:

'Eh, hell if I know?'

I just need the money and the balls to do it now.


Another idea I had for it was instead of a question mark, I'd have an...

It's basically the combination of the Exclamation mark and the Question mark like so:

Look it up, it's recognised punctuation.

Yes. Already have two - tribal on upper arms, and will be continuing across chest and down arms.
I prefer to think of tattoos as art, instead of associating them with feeling.

I think the same way. To me, tattoos are a way to modify your body to make it more aesthetically pleasing to yourself. It's a way to alter your body to your own liking. I have two tattoos myself. One on my upper left arm, and one on my upper right arm.

Firstly, this topic has been done to death.
Secondly, yes but it would have to have a meaning. I pity anyone who gets a tattoo just because it looks cool.

 

[wastedyouth89]

I can't really decide. I do want to get one, but I don't want to get one that would get in the way of my career. If I end up with a job that allows me to though, I'm getting full sleeves and all that.

 

[Savage_Girl]

I've got four atm. I plan to cover from my neck to my toes by the time I'm done. I'm only going to get the tattoos that I can't cover up easily when I don't have to worry about a 9-5 anymore though.

so then you find a permanent feeling.

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

No. I have no problem with a person getting one, but for one I don't think they're attractive on anyone, two I'll get old and my skin will wrinkle and make it look like a tattoo of mashed potatoes, and three people change over time - I probably won't be the same man in 10 years that I am now.

basically this. if i were ever to get one, it would probably be something super meaningful, like a cursive phrase or something on my back or inside of my arm, but besides that this is exactly how i feel. personally everytime i see girls with them i just think of how absolutely disgusting its going to look in 10-20 years =\

Exactly. My tattoos aren't for other people to say "oooh, ahh, you've got a tattoo, you must be badass" they're for me to look at and say "oooh, ahh, I like those, and I like those on my skin."

Also, I quite like the tribal band.

 

[WrcklessIntent]

Yes and as being the nerd that i am it would be awesome. I would either get the triforce on my wrist or Jack's chains from Bioshock on my wrist. Or I would get the N7 logo tattooed over my right chest.

 

[Drakane]

I've got the chinese symbol for dragon on my spine w/ a Chinese dragon and a Euro dragon chasing each other biting each others tails in a circle. Had them for nearly 10 yrs and no regrets.

It depends on what i decide looks better. Always liked the greek letters.

 

[Tomster595]

Eh, personally I just think tattoos are really unattractive.

 

[BoredDragon]

Have you seen what that needle does in close up slow-motion? :O

All I can say is ouch

Why so? Your view on things and priorities in life might change and then that meaning will become less worth. An aesthetically pleasing tatoo is more lasting imo.

OT: Yes, i'm currently planning on getting one. As soon as i'm finished with my idea and have enough money i'm gonna do it.
