That is because respectable men wear shoes.

I have quite a few scars. I've been thinking of maybe connecting them to form some kind of pattern. Something abstract, though, with no real "deep" meaning.

There once was a girl who would come into where I work all the time who had a vagina tattooed on her foot. It lead to an interesting conversation between my coworker and I.

Me: What do you think of *insert girl's name*'s tattoos?
Him: I don't like them.
Me: Why?
Him: Because I just don't like...vaginas.
Me: So....you don't like vaginas, eh?
Him: No. I don't like vaginas on girls.

I hear man vaginas are all the rage these days

Catacombs · « **Reply #2253 on:** 24 Mar 2009, 21:06 »

I dunno if feet tattoo's would work on dudes, although I know a dude with "made in china" tattoo'd on the bottom of his fooot. Awesome, but needs touching up way too often.

I've been seriously considering getting two doves and instead of an olive brach, they'd have either the word "love" or "hope", and i'm also asking my mum to design it.
Unfortunately, i'll either chicken out because i've not had one before, or i'll think it's too cliché to have it tattooed on me. I know it's not really, but I think it's how my mind works.
As for meaning, it's for two of my best friends, and my family. Thinking about them just reminds me that i'm loved and there is some hope/faith left in the world... even reading that to myself sounds a little cheesy.
I'm not sure where i'd get them either. I'd want to get it where I can see them, to remind myself of what they're about, but my wrists are too veiny and apparently that hurts like hell. Convince me people... that or can you suggest where a good placement would be?

Emaline · « **Reply #2255 on:** 24 Mar 2009, 22:36 »

I speak from experience of having one arm of my squid tattooed on my wrist, it hurts like hell. Yes. Oh my god. Yes it hurts like hell.

But if I were you, I'd get two doves holding the same olive branch, or perched on the olive branch. A dove each for your two best friends, and the branch for family. Just a thought.

I did not find the wrist particularly painful, but I stopped feeling human sensations long ago when my heart died so I dunno.

Kylos · « **Reply #2258 on:** 27 Mar 2009, 12:53 »

That's one of the better ideas i've heard Emaline. I think i'm gonna get it going all round my ankle with the doves sitting on it.
Getting the mother to draw it out now. Photos of the design soon, hopefully.

EDIT: I just described what I wanted to the other half, to which he responded "2 pidgeons and a stick... get love and hope on your knuckles. It's stupid, like your dove idea. Don't get it. It won't be good."
Needless to say, this tattoo is getting done, and this boyfriend will probably get the boot.

At some point today I'll be back with pictures of a fresh septum that will be hiding for several months because of over rated "real job" policies. Yesssssssss.

Gemmwah · « **Reply #2261 on:** 28 Mar 2009, 10:48 »

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I wanna see pictures of Taylor's too goddammit.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2262 on:** 28 Mar 2009, 14:56 »

BWAHHHHHH.

Apparently I have no sweet spot whatsoever so no septum piercing this week since my piercer does not do dermal punches. I am however planning on heading to Syracuse next Saturday to get it punched at 4g - 2g. This is a good thing and I can pretend like it's just a birthday treat.

Edit- Oh yeah, also, me and Kat got our wedding anniversary tattoo's booked. They are properly ridiculous and If I get not lazy tonight I'll actually give a picture example.

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #2263 on:** 29 Mar 2009, 08:53 »

If you have to do a dermal punch for your septum, will that make it hurt much more than if you had a sweet spot to pierce through? I think septums are super-rad, but I don't think I could ever pull one off.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2264 on:** 29 Mar 2009, 10:48 »

I'm guessing if he has no sweet spot, they'll have to punch through the cartilage, which yeah would hurt a lot more. But that's a dude with a split tongue; I think he deals with pain better than I would! I do have a sweet spot, and it didn't hurt that much-the clamps felt kinda weird but that was pretty much it though about ten minutes after I thought was was going to faint.

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #2265 on:** 29 Mar 2009, 11:38 »

Oh shit, split tongue? That is pretty hardcore.

So why did you feel faint after the piercing? Any specific reason why?

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2266 on:** 29 Mar 2009, 11:51 »

Lots of people faint or pass out during/after getting modified. It's pretty much your body going into shock, that's why you're always supposed to not go in on an empty stomach. I'd eaten before I went in but there's a bit of a psychological component as well.

BrilliantEraser · « **Reply #2267 on:** 29 Mar 2009, 12:17 »

Really? I've never had any problem getting pierced or whatever. But now that you mention it, I do remember my roommate almost passing out when she got her cartilage pierced. I just made fun of her.

LizziL · « **Reply #2268 on:** 29 Mar 2009, 13:08 »

Gah! I HATE THE CLAMPS!
I'll go out on a limb and assume other people here have their noses pierced - am I alone in saying that it hurt more than my tattoo? I feel like that's weird, but it's totally true.

Jace · « **Reply #2269 on:** 30 Mar 2009, 00:10 »

I actually hadn't eaten when I was getting my half sleeve done and I did pass out for a second. My friend Tom was out and about so he brought me a burger and coke. My artist told me "That was pretty fucking stupid, if you even thought you might possibly be getting a tattoo, eat some food"

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #2270 on:** 30 Mar 2009, 02:39 »

I'm going to get my other X on thursday. I am so incredibly excited but goddamnit why didn't I keep the original sketch? It was perfect and now I can only get an (albeit pretty accurate) approximation of the sizing. Fuck.

Also woo tattoos! Photos will be posted.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2271 on:** 30 Mar 2009, 11:50 »

Alright, so the dermal punched septum is officially happening Saturday. I need to look at jewelry options some more and decide if I'd prefer 2g or 4g. I'm not sure which actually has more options septum wise.

I imagine it will feel like I just got punched in the nose by a bouncer after a night of drinking actually. I'm definitely not looking forward to the punch itself.

I too made the mistake of not eating before I went to get my stomach tattooed, which made what was already the most painful tattoo I had gotten even worse. I had to get my girlfriend to fetch me some orange juice midway through.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #2274 on:** 31 Mar 2009, 05:35 »

Good thing my tattoo shop is right next to a McDonalds.

Also I'm thinking of turning my right arm into my comic book arm. In that I would get kind of a sleeve design (though not really an actual sleeve as I kind of don't want anything on the outside of my forearms?) with lots of comic book characters like the infant Dream from Fables and Reflections and Apocalypse and Mr Sinister.

This (sans text) has been in my right arm for the just over 6 hours now. I'm very happy with it, pictures to follow. I found a tenner in the street after it too so it has been a pretty good day.

Oli · « **Reply #2281 on:** 01 Apr 2009, 04:19 »

Thanks Jens and Catacombs. The tattoo artist said it was the most fun and/or ridiculous tattoo he'd done in weeks; he was loving it as a first tattoo too. My friend Linzi got it done coming out of her waist line at the same time - I've been planning it for ages, she's also a big fan of Deerhoof (and completely mental) and saw the picture while we were drunk on Monday night then booked us in when she got up yesterday. Awesome!

Kris it is okay! My lady friend is not a fan of it either, but she has decided she only needs to shun my right arm.

I would have but he didn't let me on the bus, and my reach is only so long.

Either way I got onto another bus by pretending i only had one arm.

Kylos · « **Reply #2290 on:** 03 Apr 2009, 18:50 »

I was thinking something like this. Definitely a line drawing at least. I drew it on a graphics tablet earlier, so it looks a bit rubbish... but you get the idea.
Where it's shaded grey, I was hoping to get it shaded orange or red.
Yay or nay?

What do you guys think of star tattoos? Highly overdone and overrated, or can I pull it off? Basically, I got bored in class and started drawing stars on the inside of my left wrist, curving up towards my thumb. I thought it was pretty nifty and took a picture. Then I realized that, since I am going into a healthcare profession, I should probably get the tattoo elsewhere. So I drew it on my left foot/ankle, and liked it a lot better there.

On my wrist:

On my foot:

Close-up of foot:

So what do you guys think? Should I go ahead and get it done?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2293 on:** 03 Apr 2009, 20:46 »

Overdone and overated are silly reasons to not get tattoos in my opinion. If you like it, go for it. If it actually bothers you that quite a few other people are likely to have something similar, nothing wrong with that and you should not get it.

BrittanyMarie · « **Reply #2294 on:** 04 Apr 2009, 00:29 »

I agree with him although I think your feet are kind of ugly. They look better on your wrist. (Take that with a grain of salt because you're the one with the tattoo who's gonna have to live with it. to be honest I seem to love all tattoos and in the off chance it's ugly I just won't say anything. stars are hard to fuck up)

I'm so excited that this is actually going to happen.
