For some reason this isn’t downloading on my computer, but I’ve been looking everywhere for a Gothic font, and just end up getting the English language modified to look "gothic". Any ideas? I’m trying to sketch a tattoo
See http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts-european.html#gothic .
You can find how to obtain the fonts listed elsewhere in the site: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/fonts.html .
See also http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/plane-1/gt.html for a rather old article which shows many Gothic characters.

My mum and I came up with the idea to get matching tattoos. We were thinking of some form of symbol, like family or protection or something like that.
Does anyone have any other cool ideas?
Ooh yeah, and does anyone have an idea on the placement of it too?
Over the heart, shoulder blade, calf, wrist.
Flowers are always good, you can get birth flowers or flowers that you grow, your favorite colors, black and gray. You can make a bouquet of a couple of flowers with a ribbon/banner that say’s names, or ‘family’, or ‘love’ or whatever. It can be soft and realistic, or artistic, like a pencil drawing, or bold, or stylistic, or it could be copied from jewelry or a design in fabric, etc.

Hearts can also be very individual if you play with design elements, and you can add flowers or banner ribbons, words etc.

here’s a flower made out of hearts:

or you could do little birds or ladybugs or lizards, or whatever:

there’s some good Celtic designs, like this tree of life with the triquetra:

this is thought to be the oldest Celtic symbol and is supposed to represent the 3 stages of man: Birth, Death, Eternity, or the 3 stages of life: youth, middle age & old age:

I know they are so ridiculously common, but I really like them and have been thinking about getting one tattooed on my hip. It has meaning to me, which is important, and I know I shouldn’t care about what others think, but I don’t wanna look stupid as well. Should I get one? Or are they waaaay too common and will I look stupid with one?
i think rere_b ment common not uncommon lol.
i have one, its on my foot, me and my cousin both got it together, it ment something to us and so we got it. it is a very common tattoo 
but as long as it means something to you then totally get it.
ours is rainbow, because she is a lesbian and mine because i support her, we go to marches together and other stuff totally get it, dont care what others think.

I don’t know for sure because I think the actual Leo image is prettier but so many people get a lion tattooed, therefore they aren’t actually a Leo according to the Zodiac, and what I want to be ‘clear’ is that it is IS my zodiac sign.
Opinions?

The first one is def a better tattoo.
That second one is a squiggly line, ive def seen better astrology sign tattoos than that.
Is this your first tattoo? where on your body are you gonna do it? I think you could think of something far more creative, less cliche and less generic to represent yourself.

Hi I just have one quick question. Does Anyone know how much a blue and black nautical star tattoo on the inside of my bicep cost? I want it to be medium size not to big not to small but big enough where its noticeable
It could cost anywhere from a little over 100 or less. I live in Jax FL so I would recommend going to kadillac tattoo on the North Side. I get mine there and they are really inexpensive, and do the best work i’ve seen.

My children are the previously stated signs and I wanted to get a combination of thier signs, any ideas on how to mix them? Anyone have a drawing they could post? I’m willing to make it as simplistic or detailed as looks good.. Your input is highly appreciated!!
Just layer them one on top of another. The circle with the horns (taurus) and then the squigglies (aquarius) over top. Do it in black. Simple.

I posted this Q in another section but not very many people are answering so I guess I’ll try this:
The reason I ask is because a favorite movie of mine, Life As A House, and a criticism I have of it. At the beginning of the film a teen aged boy has a few piercings and hates his parents and listens to Marilyn Manson… As the story progresses he transforms into someone that doesn’t hate anything and begins to love his life and family, and he begins to be a happy person… And it always bugged me that as he transformed into this great loving person he took out his piercings, maybe saying (even unintentionally) that the piercings are what made him so full of hate, not that he was just full of hate… sorry for the big long spiel…
My question: is the stereotype regarding people with piercings fading (ya know that only bratty emo’-ie teens, gothic people, ‘weird’ people, and criminals have piercings, and people with piercings listen to ‘evil’ metal and hard rock)??
Why do some people continue to give in to these stereotypes?
Why do some have a hard time believing that ‘normal’ (I really hate that word) people have piercings or tattoos, that its just a small piece of metal and means next to nothing??
BTW: I don’t wear black, I wear bright colors, I love Vonda Shepard and Ally McBeal… I’m not goth, I’m not punk, I’m not ‘emo’, The two none ear piercings I have mean nothing more than my traditional ear piercings: I got them just because I wanted to…. I’m well adjusted and a honor student…
thank you and please answer kindly
I’d really like to hear non-pierced/non-tattooed peoples’ opinions on this….
I hope I’m helping to break the stereotype.
I’m just a 15-year-old teenager, but I’m in all honors and AP classes.. and I have an industrial piercing. I’ve never gotten into any serious trouble, I don’t party, and I don’t hate my life or try to be extremely different.
And I know that someday I’ll have to take out my industrial, but that doesn’t put me off from having it now.
