Thinking of a new tattoo

[EvanL]

Ive been pondering getting another tattoo, this one to go on my upper left arm.
Since i have large arms i was thinking of something circular to match that part of my arm.
I came across this one on the net
http://www.southern-ink.co.nz/images2/maori.jpg
its a maori sun design.

Im looking for something with a sort of tribal feel.
Preferably something celtic seeing as i have a celtic cross already. But im open to anything like the maori designs.
If any of you guys have some ideas or would be willing to draw one out,Cali Joe im looking your way, it would be awesome.
Plus this is a good thread to talk about your own tattoos or tattoo ideas.
Cheers.

Anyway, just from common sense I'd say you have to be carefull with something circular on your arm, as it becomes disfigured when your arm becomes bigger/smaller.

[EvanL]

Circular wouldnt get as disfiguired as something (un)circular sp*.

Joe says he'll design a tattoo for me if I want him to...... woot

I still can't figure out why he needs the naked pics to do it though..... :roll:

That's so thoughtful of you, Joe. I could never ask you to go to all that trouble. :D

[California Joe]

It's OK. I'm thoughtful like that.

Lifetime committment. make sure when you get one that you realize that it will be there forever! I have 12 Tats and one is a cover up,but you cant tell. So choose your designs wisely!

Yeah. I have one I´m thinking of covering. It´s not ugly or anything but I
just don´t believe in what it says anymore (no, it´s not the name of some
former girlfriend), let´s say that I was young and naive when I made it. :)

I think blue tatoos are easier to remove.

I'm thinking that Kriz was talking to Evan.... not me, or were you suggesting that Evan get implants???

Implants are the last thing I need. ;)

Tattoos only look good on female Vietnamese ravers.
Along with f*ck me boots, latex skirts and long black gloves.

Me and my two older brothers was thinking of getting "memento mori" on our lower left arms, but I have the same "problem" as Evan, going to be a cop.

[Haiw]

I would go for 'carpe diem' instead of 'memento mori', but that's just my opinion. :)

[NcDeuce]

If down the road, I ever go through SFDOQC and suddenly get an urge to get a tattoo, this would be sweet...

Otherwise I'll stick to the 25 cent ones you can get outside Wal-Mart rofl

It's kind of like a family tradition but I guess I'll pass. My father has the Ranger scroll with an eagle and a U.S. flag, pretty badass. My grandfather had like the typical barbed wire.

I'd probably never actually get one.... somehow I can't picture myself as an 80 year old with a dolphin tattoo on my hip :roll:

One of my platton mates in Lebanon had a tatoo of a snake wrapped around a black panther.
Had a guy called "Moscow David" based in Tel-Aviv (??) who did the tatoo for him.
Not cirular, but think celtic tatoos are for clueless, narcistic, headbanger punks that also fancy piercing and stuff like that.
During my Lebanon days there also was a sort of anectode about this guy in one of the first contigencies of UNIFIL/NORBATT back in 1978/79, who during leave in Israel woke up, after having been drunk under the table by his mates, with "Made in Honk Kong" tatooed on his forehead. rofl

There is a skinhead in Stockholm that tattooed a bat on his forehead in the
80´s. It was actually meant to be a skull (SS), but it failed, so it became a bat
when he added wings to it. Great guy :lol:

get "exit only" tattooed on your ass.....it would help if you ever wound up doing time.....

[Guttorm]

Funny thing about tattoes...

Alot of chicks get butterfly tattoes...

In old india, prostetutes would get butterflyes tattoed, due to the fact, that they fly from flower to flower...

In other words, the butterfly is an old symbol for a VERY old profesion.... :D

[Upfrontreporting]

Got my first tatoo on my left shulder a month ago, simple motive: Blood group and date of birth (yeah I know a bit military but hey ;) )
