two years pass...

I have just booked my appointment for my first (and probably only ever) tattoo. I went in and arranged it but didn't have the money on me for the deposit. When I came back the guy asked me what price we'd agree on; I told him i didn't remember (even though I did). The receptionist asked the artiste again and ended up accidentally knocking twenty quid off.

It's gonna hurt like fuck innit?

I don't actually want one, but I think I'd pick something geeky/nerdy like this:

that's what they always say. apparently once you crossed the line, you'll be getting more. :-)

I have a masochistic side so I wouldn't rule it out. This one has been five years in coming though so we'll see. I also have an abundance of scars that I haven't paid for.

I have been planning for four years to get one of an ampersand. Maybe this summer or fall...I finally found a high-quality shop, anyway.

― Abbott, Saturday, 14 April 2007 18:43 (nineteen years ago)

I am currently deciding whether or not to get another one. If I do, it will be this:

I'd want it exactly like that with the black square background, probably on one of my shoulderblades. We'll see.

If I were ever to get a tattoo it would have to be something totally fucking cheesy and vulgar, like a naked woman holding a python standing on a flaming skull.

Image is not coming up for me.

I am achieving AMPERSAND TAT in August on a trip to Albuquerque.

― Abbott, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:44 (nineteen years ago)

i'm thinking either this:

(think it means 'strength')

or something with more of a tribal vibe like this:

― creme1, Thursday, 3 May 2007 23:56 (nineteen years ago)

i think the chinese one is classier though

As a present to myself for getting under $1000 of debt, (whenever that will be):

Wait, no, the frame before it. The first one where all four hooves leave the ground.

I was thinking abt getting a USB symbol triton thingding on my wrist, parallel t my arm & w/the prongs right above the palm of my hand. However, I'm worried I'd have to 'splain it to THE YUNGUNS of the future for the rest of my life.

actually, the closest i ever got to that was painting it on a pair of shoes. i don't see myself getting a tattoo anytime soon.

I still want:

No idea where, though.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:10 (nineteen years ago)

That's really interesting. The whole thing including the square or just the triangle and the star?

And what is it/where does it come from?

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:16 (nineteen years ago)

Probably the silver bit in a dark colour (pyramid and antenna) with skin replacing the black bit. It's the Spacemen 3 logo - I know, band logos, really stupid, but it is such an interesting design in many other ways - triangle/star symbolism etc.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:19 (nineteen years ago)

I knewed I recognized it from somewhere. I'm not sure where I would suggest locating it. I was originally gonna get mine on my lower back, mainly due to the symmetry of it and that would probably work for yours, but that is the so-called "tramp stamp" location innit? Even if the design is not at all one of them.

Side of the foot maybe?

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

Speaking of which a friend of mine recently had one done there. It's a cartoon of a teapot pouring tea into a cup. She was drunk and on K at the time.

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

creme, are you either Chinese or, um, Celtic or Maori or something?

― Mark C, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:26 (nineteen years ago)

I like the idea of having it somewhere not necessarily exposed unless I choose to (working in a corporate environment and all). My current tat is on the left upper arm, above the t-shirt sleeve line, but bloody hell, it's impossible to get girls shirts that aren't all cap sleeves these days.

Is yours on the inner or outer side of your leg?

I like the idea of tats as slightly hidden, that a flash of them is like some kind of hidden knowledge.

I'd love to get the S3 thing on the nape of my neck, just below the hairline, but daren't. I want it somewhere *I* can see it, though. So perhaps side of foot would be good.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 4 May 2007 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

Outside of my leg. It had to be somewhere broad enough to accomodate so much poetry. Your point about being slightly hidden is a nice one and on reflection perhaps the inside would have been better. too late now.

i'm not supposed to expose it to UV for 4-6 weeks which means I can't wear shorts. sucks. although, i don't mind the idea of it fading a bit and looking slightly less fresh. wish my bleedin' hairs would grow back though.

― Uptoeleven, Friday, 4 May 2007 13:55 (nineteen years ago)

I'd prefer a picture of a hot dog bun, but the word "friday" in it instead of a hot dog. And a big "X" through it. NO HOT DOG BUNS ON FRIDAYS.

OK, what are the strangest tatoos someone you know has? One friend of mine has a Howard the Duck tattoo on one arm and a Crusty the clown tatoo on the other. Thankfully, they're incredibly well done. Another guy I met recently has a huge portrait of Carl Sagan on his calf. Very um . . . unique?

― ENBB, Saturday, 5 May 2007 04:23 (nineteen years ago)

More pressing question - why did I all of a sudden forget how to spell tattoo?

― ENBB, Saturday, 5 May 2007 04:24 (nineteen years ago)

haha flying nun logo.. i'd forgotten about that idea.

there's a part of me that wants to get the whispering penguins from the inner sleeve of rumours..

― electricsound, Saturday, 5 May 2007 04:24 (nineteen years ago)

Hold on, how do you spell tatoo? I alwys thought it was two t's, but then the place i went on monday had a neon sign with only one.

Confused.

― Uptoeleven, Saturday, 5 May 2007 08:20 (nineteen years ago)

The Armies of Those
I Love Engirth Me
And I Engirth Them

In script, shoulder to shoulder, so it moves as I engirth. BIG TAT aka the engirthdriver etc
