You have to get a tattoo...

[SimuLord]

A winged-foot on my right bicep framed with "MERCVRIVS FIDELIS" in Roman lettering. For the primary god in my pantheon.

 

[The Rainmaker]

For the horde!

Spoiler

 

[RastaBadger]

A Starfleet insignia just above my left breast. Why? Because I am horribly in need of a life.

 

[Wapox]

A Japanese style Dragon and a Phoenix circling around Yin and Yang on my Back.
Should take up most of the space on my back and poke around the shoulders

 

[BlackWidower]

The Scarlet Letter of Atheism,

or maybe 49 in D'ni

Those two are supposed to be joined together...like this one:

 

[Horizontalvertigo]

My choice'd probably be whatever seems like a great idea at the time when I get my tattoo set up, possibly one of the draw backs of actually knowing how to tattoo people (and yourself) - all joking aside I'll probably draw up my own little tattoo with the theme of "ink in/blood out" and tattoo it onto my arm as soon as I get my equipment, makes sense, seeing its the first tattoo I'll have done and the first I would have gotten

Also: Barcode tattoos make me want to cry, plus heads up to the bloke who wanted the Full Metal Alchemist circles, just... good luck haha

(context is that I know how to tattoo someone, I just need to find a shop where I can get some real experience, fake skin can only get you so far )

 

[Scarecrow]

I would get this on my back:

Glory to the doom!

 

[DirgeNovak]

I'll probably get a fleur de lis on the arm soon.

And maybe a l'Cie mark on the leg too.

 

[Togs]

Im getting one in a couple of days, the Happy Human on my forearm

 

[Guestyman]

Chemical structure for testosterone probably. Don't know why, I just like how it looks.

I'd put it just above my hip bone.

 

[ajemas]

An excerpt from a medical textbook on tattoo removal. Well, either that or the one from Bioshock. You know, the three chain-link things on each wrist.

 

[darkman80723]

well i already have several. but one i want to get done is a black outline rosebush with red roses wrapping around my shoulder and coming down to my elbow.

 

[xqxm]

A text in my scalp alluding to a hidden treasure in long lost land and an urge to find the next clue.

I would tell my children to shave my head when i die and die knowing I've sent them on a hilarious wild goose chase.

 

[Anchupom]

Hm.

I'd have to say one of these:

Spoiler: Because I'm totally not a fanboy

 

[Yomandude]

The Zodiac symbol for Libra on my left palm, and the Triforce on my right, both symbolizing a combination of wisdom and justice. And a cross, of course, but it doesn't matter where.

 

[Daniel_Rosamilia]

Probably the Agency logo from Hitman.
I met a British guy at my local Mobil (petrol station) and he had that tattooed on his wrist, and it looked really well done.
I'd get that, but probably on my right shoulder.

 

[Ham_authority95]

If I had to get a tattoo of any kind, I would just get a circle on my back where nobody would see it.

I hate tattoos. It's like having to have the same desktop background for the rest of time you have that computer.

 

[Diligent]

A single dot between one of my toes. Not really into tattoos myself, so I figure that technicality would satiate whatever demon might be forcing me to get one.

 

[Joshimodo]

A Playstation logo? Really?

I'd get this:

It's White Glint's logo from AC4A, but more importantly, it's a stylised version of the Eye of Ra/Horus. It represents the senses and imagination, which are what my life and career revolve around.

I'd get it on my right hand.


Well, I will - As I'm going to get it done at some point.

 

[Illesdan]

So what would it be of and where? For me, it would have to be the Sony Playstation symbol http://www.gemzies.com/upload/page_thumb/sony-playstation-logo.jpg
Because most of my childhood was spent on that console. I'd get it on my arm because it seems that it would be the least painful and the most exposed.

So the rules are you HAVE to get one, but you decide where and what.

I didn't get any tattoos until I was 25; just because all of our local so-called 'artists' (better name would be 'butchers') were clueless, untalented and, for the most part, unlicensed. So, once I had some spare money, I started traveling around and came across a great artist who just lives 80 miles from me. I've been going to him for eight years now, and I'm VERY SLOWLY getting 'sleeves' for both my forearms. Right now on my left arm I have a black dragon in flames by a dead oak tree (they dominate the length of my arm and take up half of it width-wise) and the Chinese symbols for patience and wisdom close to the crook of the elbow. On my right arm, I have a white tiger in a waterfall with a blood-red moon over him. In the background, I have bamboo and the start of a cherry tree (we were all too tired to finish it, so we said screw it, we'll get back to it later). The bamboo and the cherry branches surround the Chinese symbols for strength and courage.

My rules for tattoos are this: Nothing on the face, neck, or hands. Nothing you can't cover up in the event of a job interview, meeting people for the first time you want to make a good impression on, etc. Even though no one has ever said anything negative (to my face, anyway) about my tattoos, (I actually get alot of people who come up and ask all kinds of questions and comment on how good they look) I still am aware of how narrow-minded people can be.

Don't get anything that 'in' or trendy now. 50 years from now, you'll regret it. Justin Bieber who?

Moving on, no names, period. Blood-related children, mom, dad, favorite uncle, fine. But boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, BFF... Well, you're just asking for trouble there.
