im getting my fave buddhist mantra tattoo'ed across the small of my back soon ..... the bit across my spine will hurt like a mother fucker but oh well! It's more of a private thing for my eyes only (i never wear midriff/small of my back showing clothing) and it's discreet enough to hide when i have to be all corporate so yeah im pretty excited about it! Just gotta get the cash and get my many times tattooed toy boy to accompany me and let me squeeze his hand

nickb285:
As soon as I get some money (which may be a while) I'm going to get half-sleeves with a bunch of different song lyrics wrapping around my arm. I've never really seen or thought of a picture I liked enough to get tattooed, but there's a lot of song lyrics I really like.

Switchblade:
Nuh-uh, no way, and no-how.

I'd quite like one, actually, and I really don't give a damn about the pain, but I'm not going to get it because of my dad.

I respect his opinion, see, and his is rather more informed than most. The first five years of his career as a surgeon were spent performing tattoo excisions and skin grafts. He kind of has a deep-rooted contempt for them, and I would rather not have a guilty secret to keep from him.

Leonidas:
I have always had an idea in my head of getting a Greek Lambda on the top of my right shoulder. The implication behind it would be that the Spartan hoplites would wear a Greek Lambda on their shields to represent Lacedamia, the peninsula of Greece where Sparta was situated. As you can tell from my user name I'm quite into the whole ancient Greece thing.

However, I know that I will never get one. A tattoo used to be something original and something unique. It was also something that had particular meaning to the person who wore it. Now though it's common. Every other person has a tattoo. More often than not some Chinese symbol which they believe means something to do with hope or love or eternity or something else just as vomit enducing. Either that or some tribal design down their arms or legs. It seems almost as if the whole idea of getting a tattoo has become passe and common.

I feel like I am almost more original not having a tattoo.

Jenno:
I've wanted a tattoo for several years now, but there are two things stopping me.

1. I'm still not old enough to actually get one (Only a couple weeks now).
2. I've never been able to decide what I actually want done, I keep seesawing between a couple of designs.


EDIT: Clarified points after reading nickb285's reply.
