I am 14,female,freshman and at the beggining of the school year,my friend recently told me that a lot of people thought I was gothic and was trying to be coolT_T although I don’t see how because no one wore anything I wore,and I don’t stick with the latest so called fashion trends,and I was also and still am queit.I wore black fingernail polish,all black,hairstyles that involve bangs,things with skulls,arm warmers etc.
I love leather,motorcycles,black things,skulls,and anything with skulls on them,I like eye liner,arm warmers,rock music,i admire corsets,but would never wear one,I absouletly love piercings,but I only have two and am going to keep it that way lol,and I like tattoos,but I don’t want one.My boyfriend even thought I was gothic,and he likes that about me,but I really don’t know if I am or not..I don’t enjoy hurting people or things,but I do like scary games,scary movies,and scary stories and love being alone.
Places like these give me a warm feeling:
(the first place is Aokigahara in japan..the suicide forest.)

Clearly people in this section like tattoos, have tattoos, and want an easy place to talk about it. But every once in a while people come here to attack tattoos and piercings–they say it will make you sterile, leads to drugs and pregnancy, makes you look trashy, or you will always regret your decision no matter what–and to generally convince everyone on here to not get tattoos and piercings by spreading lies and fanaticism.
I am not sterile, pregnant, on drugs, I don’t look trashy and I sure don’t hate myself for my actions. I am a decent person, my piercings do not make me any worse than you. Do any of these people stop to think that tattoos and piercings aren’t always gotten for style or a fad–but a lot of these piercings and tattoos have a lot of meaning? Some do it to honor deceased loved ones, or proclaim a faith. I highly doubt those people will regret it, or are trashy, horrible people.
This question came after seeing some people just trying to convince everyone else on here to not get tattoos for false reasons. I know they’re few and far apart, but still…if you’re going to try and convince someone, why not try with the truth?
Goxy–I just find it odd when one person asks about getting a tattoo, then another tells them rampant lies and myths about tattooing. At least these poeple can express their views and use truth, not lies as scare tactics. I mean, what’s the point?
Closed minded people always have something to say , most of the time it’s negative and something they should shut up too. I have tattoos and some of my friends didn’t know and talked about how trashy it is for chicks to have tattoos and everything. then i showed them mine and they were all oh yours are okay. i was all , just cuz you have tats doesn’t make you trashy at all, i know and seen trashy people and they had not one tat or piercing on them. so there you go!!
I know people who have done drugs and never had tattoos, and i know people who have a lot of tats and never seen drugs, like i said closed minded people, are very judgmental and critical of others!

Make sure you have a Chinese-speaking friend go with you, or the guy’s liable to tattoo something like "dumb round-eye" on you.

Basically i got a scarab (Egyptian symbol meaning eternal life) on my right shoulder, a gothic cross on my left shoulder, two arm bands, the Jewish star on my left peck and "Allah" in Islam on my right peck, the word "Memory" (which is my graffiti alias) in graffiti styled letters at the top of my back and the ten commandments down the rest of my back…
My body is kinda like a shrine to God so he shoudn’t mind too much?
And i know it says shiit about tattoos and piercings in the Old Testament but they refer them to the pagan rituals in how they honor their god… and plus he was talking to the Isrealites… and i’m not an Isrealite…
I just really like tattoos :\ mostly cos i’m an artist and they are all my own personalized style.
In the new testament, it says that our bodies are a temple. So tattooing is about the same as defiling the temple.

I do not have a tattoo yet so I cannot show my tattoo as a visual aid. So any ideas?
Henna or Woad (research for easy do it yourself recipes!) Non toxic, and semi permanent, and definitely pertinent to your topic. You can also use a sharpie to fake a tat (black for tribal!) or simply bring in photos of tats you like. BMEzine.com bodymod blog has some very interesting work, but more than half of it isn’t school appropriate, so research from home.

I want to get my zodiac sign (taurus) with wings coming from it on my belly right above my hip bone/bikini line. I have my nose and my belly button done, both of which didn’t hurt at all. I was wondering how bad the tattoo would hurt?
Well if your piercings didn’t hurt then i would say that the tattoo wont hurt that bad but i mean its going to hurt i have 8 tattoos one in the place youre talking about and some i didn’t feel and some i did so it all depends, its definitely not going to hurt as bad as you think the build up of getting the tattoo will be worse than the pain.

I’m kinda gothic or dark and I wanted to get a tattoo of a dark angel girl sitting on a skull. But my work will fire me if it’s in a place that is visible, so my girl told me it would turn her on if I got the skull on my pelvic area n the chick sitting on the skull above my waist line need some other girl opinion…
I was thinking of putting the skull on the left side, right above my penis n the girl sitting right on top of the skull. I think I have the bodie for it not really ripped but I got a flat stomach with a little muscle. Tall n skinny basicly. Can’t put it on my back I got a tattoo that goes from shoulder blade to shoulder n half way down my back.
Humm… by above your waist line do you mean above your hip bone?
I think if you placed it on the inside of your hip bone it would be ok. An idea for you to get the feel of what it would look like is to have your GF draw one on you there with marker or get a temp. tattoo and put it there, that way you can remove it if its not the look you want.
Good Luck and mind you right there will be a bit painful its quite tender, but you probally all ready know that.

Hi, just wondering if any of you might have some tattoo ideas for me? I’m a very introverted person, I’m a bit gothic in an artistic sense… I’ve been admiring tattoo artist Grisha Maslov for a bit. I really want some symbolic tattoos. I already want a lightening bolt because it symbolizes strength (etc etc) for me. SO, any ideas?
My favorite idea for a tattoo is a keyhole on my neck.
