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.

No idea where, though.

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

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

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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

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

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 (seventeen years ago) link

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.

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

I have a friend who has a tat of Kermit the Fraog standing up in classic bent knee pose, holding a big crucifix in his left hand. She got it because, as she said, "I love Kermit and I love Jesus."

RUMOURS penguin tat would kick ass.

four months pass...

my friend is looking at getting a tattoo on her body side, but she suffers from psoriasis.

How much of a problem would this be? I've heard that it could flare up with a tattoo, she suffers mainly on her legs and elbows.

I insisted on the ladybug bc she enjoyed playing gently w bugs. The pain was superficial, not particularly serious but also the thigh is a meaty area.

I could feel the difference from one side of the leg that’s more fatty (interior) than the other one (exterior side)

I think I’m hooked. Definitely interested in doing this again next time I get inspired.

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 16 August 2019 00:32 (four years ago) link

I love the colors.

(I almost got a tattoo of my dog as an astronaut at one point but I couldn't commit and instead got an oil painting a la Turner of him riding a dolphin)

― Yerac, Friday, 16 August 2019 00:33 (four years ago) link

That is amazing!

absolutely booming tattoo La Lechera

I don't know which my next one is! I'm running out of space on my left arm but there's some spots where I have ideas...I have enough now that it's not a giant deal to get one, like I'll get something on a lark, but the ideas I have for the spots to fill in never quite solidify. A coelacanth is one that's a strong contender (my left arm at present has a vulture, a crab, a snake, and two non-animal heavy-metal-related pieces)...but also, pandas are greatly loved by my younger son, so I think about getting a panda, but then I fret that vulture / crab / snake / panda leaves panda kind of the odd animal out

Thanks! It barely hurts now that I took 2 ibuprofens. I saw an actual coelacanth irl (preserved in a tub in the Field Museum) and I endorse this idea!

― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 16 August 2019 00:46 (four years ago) link

Wow, supercool design!

My gf just got her first tattoo (a really sweet bonding thing with her three best friends) & was asking me if i'd ever get one, after thought the only thing I could imagine paying tribute to permanently like that is my beloved cat. it may be in the cards.
