should people who need to ask for ideas get tattoos?
September 16th, 2009
in my view a tattoo’s a personal life thing, you decide it according to what’s meaningful to you - and so if you don’t know what you want, you shouldn’t get something? especially if you decide it on the basis of random people’s ideas! anyone else concur?
i agree. you’re totally right.
the art should find you.
you shouldn’t say oneday… "hey i like tattoos… i’m gonna go with the mainstream and get some ink… now what should i get and where?"
it should be the other way around. the art should find you. something that you cherish and then decide "hey. this means something to me. i want it to be a work of art forever on my body for me to love forever and to tell my story."
gay pride tattoos/bisexuality?
September 16th, 2009
Ok im bisexual. Im in a relationship with a man but i have been in sexual relationships with females before and ive liked girls for a long time.
ive been looking for ideas on what to get for my second tattoo, and i came across some "gay pride" tattoos. Like the gay Pride flag (rainbow) a bisexual pride flag (blue pink purple) and designs that incorparate these..
For e.g <<<
(if u want to c them: google tattoo finder and select gay and lesbian tattoos on the side..OR http://tattoo.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=tattoo&cdn=style&tm=6&gps=381_375_1012_535&f=10&su=p284.9.336.ip_&tt=2&bt=0&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.overtherainbowshop.com/symbols.htm )
just wondering your opinions on this?
is it wrong of me to get the rainbow flag because im not a lesbian?
or does it represent LGBT in general.
Would you be offended if u seen someone with a pride tattoo to learn they were bi ?
or straight?
Thanks Guys..
XxLL<3
im not looking to change myself into anything.. im happy to get the either flag because i feel it represents who i am. and it something ii have given alot of consideration to. just wondering on the best way to go about it… to go the pride flag or the bi flag..i think the bi, but the design i like looks more attractive rainbow…pride style.. if anyone has a tatoo and is bi or gay.. feel free to share…xx
bisexual pride flag is what i would go with but the Pride flag is also cool

How would i incorporate zodiac signs into a tattoo?
September 9th, 2009
I would like to get a tattoo of my families zodiac signs, but how could i put them altogether as part of a tattoo! the signs are scorpio, cancer, leo and taurus.
if not zodiac signs what other kind of tattoo could i get that to do with family?
thanks for any help!
all my family begin with ‘J’ including me!
Hey Dude,
Really good choice getting something for your family like that. Well you can’t do much on your own, I suggest head to the nearest "GOOD/SKILLED" tattoo artist and tell him about your plan to get those on your skin and tell him your ideas and he will help you design something which will look ultra cool. The main point here is that you sit with him while he works on it so you can incorporate your ideas along with his. Also in the spare time Google "tattoo designs with names" and see if you like any, print them and use them when you go to the tattoo artist and see if he can use that into his style. You can get the zodiac signs or the first alphabets of all your family members name on your skin in any style or fashion but you can’t do it on your own, sit with the artist, tell him what you have on mind, he will show his styles and works and sketch something for you and you can edit and tell him on the spot ideas or changes you wanna make.
Some eg’s: background with flames and the names/signs arranged in a diamond shape, creeper plant with the alphabets hanging from them like fruits, black shaded background with the alphabets arranged in a Gothic font, etc

I live in Berkeley and would like to get some gothic lettering tattoos on my arms and upper back. Who do you think is the best person to do it? I can also travel to San Francisco or the rest of the Bay if there’s someone you recommend elsewhere. Thanks!

Need ideas for matching tattoos for best friends?
September 9th, 2009
My best friend and I have been best friends for 12 years. We’ve been through everything together and there’s nothing that could break us apart. We know we will be best friends forever. We want to get matching tattoos but we cant decide what to get. We dont want to get chinese symbols because it seems like everybody has those these days and she doesnt like butterflies. Help with ideas?
Get cute feminine things, like a type of flower, or dragon flys, lady bugs, or butterflies. Or get words like joy, luck, love, happiness, in japanese tattooed somewhere! Good Luck!

How much does a tattoo of a chinese zodiac on my arm or back costs or what if I used only one of the zodiac’s?
September 2nd, 2009
How much does a tattoo of the whole chinese zodiac animal wheel on my arm or back costs or what if I used only one of the chinese zodiac animals? And will it hurt?
Price depends on the size, how much detail there is, and how many colors. Each artist too has their own prices…someone who is just starting out will be cheaper than someone who is well known. Location will also determine price as well…Sturgis, SD during the bike rally will be higher compared to someone who lives in the backwoods of the Appalachian mountains. As for pain…the back will hurt much more…at least that’s what it was for me.
How do I get a job without abandoning my Gothic style?
September 2nd, 2009
I have over 30 tattoos, black hair past my shoulders, and Buddy Holly glasses. I really don’t think there is an outfit I can wear without showing at least one tattoo. I don’t do the whole black lipstick or heavy eye makeup (due to allergies).
I really don’t want to work at home cuz my bf’s lazy father lives here and I dislike him greatly.
Oh, I’ll work you. I’ll work you long and hard. The pay won’t be great, but you’ll love what you do.
What are ideas for tattoos representing strength, endurance, or perseverance?
September 2nd, 2009
iv been through a lot in my life but i never let it get me down and im trying to find something to represent that in a tattoo. iv heard of all the ideas for chinese symbols and animals but none of them seem to be what im interested in. any ideas?
I have the Japanese symbol for strength on the back of my neck, even though you say you’re not really into them.. :/ http://www.japanese-name-translation.com/site/kanji/strength.gif
I just like knowing it’s there and that I AM strong.. I don’t let everyone see it though (metaphorically and physically).
