even though i don't have any myself, i'm fascinated looking at peoples tattoos here... some of the explanations are pretty funny like...

Tattoos make me feel like a man, despite having the body of a world vision poster child.

My Mom was a Diet Coke lover, and my Dad is an avid cyclist.

lolwtf and also rofl

So many people are going or are regretting getting tattoo's. Especially those that are made by bad tattoo artists.

Most people in this world are fucking stupid.

i have no tats nor piercings. waiting for the right opportunity.

i have a few personal sigils that i'd like to put pretty small on either shoulders.

I would like to know the explanation for a sloth with a hat and a machine gun.

it's a metaphor for how people on the internet sit lazily in their trees and attack everyone and everything in sight.

god this one's atrocious

lol that oreo tattoo is awesome

I don't have any tattoos, although my girlfriend has some awesome ones. I've been considering it lately, though. I'd quite like to get a parrot tattoo, because I like parrots. Perhaps on my calf.

Maybe something based on this (drawn by none other than Edward Lear):

lol ud be a real butt pirate then

I hate people

I have a few tattoos. Mostly video game stuff.

This is weird. I wanted to get the same thing, except with the squid in my signature:

I have been designing one in my mind for a long time, but lack the time to really make it. My art skills are decent, but I keep hitting walls in terms of artistic abilities, and I don't want it to look like shit.

It's going to be a half sleeve that wraps over my shoulder/chest and down my side.

Kind of thinking at this point that I should hire someone with a lot more skill to put it all together...

I keep thinking about getting the Klimt picture I have as my avatar as a half sleeve... I'm saving money but not in a hurry, been thinking about it for a few years as it pretty much is my favourite picture in the world

...found a picture of a guy who had something similiar done a while ago, I'm thinking about going for the top of the arm though. It would look somewhat similiar to this however

badass!

I really like that aesthetic, but I am having trouble executing it with my ideas...

Cheers! It's semi-annoying someone else got there first, but also quite reassuring that, yes it would work well as a tattoo. Also I'm sure there's some sort of code that if you live in Brighton, you must have at least one large, amazing tattoo. Can't wait to see what happens when I get one, I would imagine you probably get ushered into some sort of inner circle or something

This is my dadeo. Done by Steve at Captain Jacks Tattoo on Hawthorne in Portland, Oregon. I got it a few months after my dad passed away from a heart attack in 2007 at the age of 54. He was a baker at Nabisco my entire life, and since it was a such a big part of my childhood and growing up (company picnics as a kid, take your daughter to work day at a cookie factory, and the support all his co-workers gave my family after he passed away as well.) there was no way I could have ever gotten a different Dad tattoo.

 

I miss him more and more every day, but this way, I always have him here with me. On the inside of my forearm.

 

The reasoning for it was much better justified than I expected.

 

But it was the transfat filled biscuits that killed him !! Why use that as a memorial.

oh and i don't understand tats. It can look ok i guess, but the same image forever, fuck that.
