Are you inked?

Just curious who else here has been bitten by the bug. I have and have a lot of work left to be done. Unfortunately I moved recently and along with a lot of my possesions I've also left behind one of the most talented artists I've even had the fortune to be inked by. Here is what I have so far on my left arm, can't wait to find a good shop out here to continue:

Here's the other work I have done. Back, right shoulder, and right leg. Sorry for the size/possible blur. It was difficult to get some of those shots on my own. The left arm was taken after a session and a mate took those for me. Since then I haven't had any other work done so it's still up to date.

Wow! That's really beautiful... I mean cool. :cool: I'm not a good candidate for tattoos, because an artist's only option would be to use a guppy on my arm. Well, maybe a beta fish.

YES! I forgot to mention, post pics!

Unfortunately I don't have any pics of the underside of my left arm, and I'm nto going to attempt to take a pic seeing as how horrible the others came out. It's just a continuation of what you see there with another koi on the underside. Basically you see all the color, the rest is just outlined for now.

oops sorry, years old. i had the one on my forearm done in a different color so that when it gets old it wont turn that funky color. the one on my leg still looks pretty good for being that old.

So I take it you weren't bitten by the bug then. The first one I got was the first Kanji character up top on my spine. Three weeks later I got seven more underneath it. And the rest as they say is history.

i was too broke, i got the first one while i was in the army(leg) and the 2nd one was really cheap and i had to get it or my gf at the time wouldnt get one. as time went on there has only been one design that i could even possibly think of getting and it is not really worth it anymore.

I figure, it like this.
People put ink on to look tough. but who looks tuffer, arnold or a dude with ink? exactly. no matter how many tatoos you put on your still going to be weak, and ill still beat your behind.

also, i dont think drawing a picture on my body will be cool 10 years from now, because 10 years ago, the fads were way different. ink doesnt go away.

I'm glad you have and are very willing to share your opinion on people with body art Graphite, however until you've "induldged" you'll never know for certain.

I'm sorry you feel people with tattoos get them for the sole purpose to "look tough" Graphite. I feel I speak for many and I get them because I actually like them!
I take it you have none. Is that because you hate needles or beacuse you can't afford good work?

Regardless, it's a small mind to think that way and I didn't mean to create any friction by the post. I'm sorry that is has. Seig Heil! No? Sorry, you seem like the type to promote genocide.

lmao. I have always wanted some sort of tattoo, I just don't think I could decide what to get, and it would have to be like on my back or somewhere that it can be easily seen.

I have a tribal sun on the back of my calf... looking back it was probably not the best graphic to choose. But hey, who here wasn't "18 and stupid" at one point in their life :mac:

and im sorry that you think the only reason you think im not getting pictures painted on my body is because of fear of needle or financial reason.

No, I have had many of my friends get a picture drawn on them, and then a month later, be like, what the **** was i thinking. There is a redvsblue episode with that in mind. funny :) but no I will never get a tattoo.

I've always wanted one, but could never bring myself to do it, be my fear of needles, yes (but i feel i could get over that) or be it my fear of regret for what I get...Well, I promised myself if I ever come near to death and survive, I'll get a tatoo to commerate it....uless it's for a stupid reason, like I choked on a jujube....

I'm sorry your friends follow trends. None of my friends (inked) nor myself have ever regretted getting a tattoo. Perhaps your friends are of the mind, "well if it means something to me today I should have it etched permanently to my epidermis." I see this syndrome effect many and it upsets me dearly.

All in all I suggest not getting looney tunes characters or sporting goods equipment tattoos.
