or just don't get the tattoo

An anti teaching tatto could be very cool, but how do you represent that in a diagram/picture?

mei (mei), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:09 (twenty years ago) link

no, the Texas theme would be a cover-up of some dumb kanji. my artist had the anti-teaching idea. something involving broken pencils or the like.

I have one TX tat and plan to get many, many more.

Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:09 (twenty years ago) link

I need a cover up, too, of a really ugly dragon's head tattoo... I think I want another lotus.

luna (luna.c), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:26 (twenty years ago) link

I am going to get a big anchor on my bicep so I can look like a [really wimpy] sailor.

Bar code. Probably next week, come to think of it. Huh.

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:30 (twenty years ago) link

Please do not get the barcode.

When I got my first (and so far only) tattoo, I always said I wouldn't get another one until I published a book, and then I'd get the bar code from the book. So I dunno. I think I'll probably do it.

why does cheetarah have a stick of butter in the vag?

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:49 (twenty years ago) link

i'm never going to get a satisfactory answer to that, am i?

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:52 (twenty years ago) link

I really kind of hope the answer is no, jess. No offense or anything.

Allyzay, Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:54 (twenty years ago) link

i mean, vaginas already taste like metal dipped in butter anyway, so surely this is just overkill

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:56 (twenty years ago) link

maybe cat-woman vaginas are different, i dunno

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 4 March 2004 20:57 (twenty years ago) link

Why do you even know what 'metal dipped in butter' tastes like?

Chris 'The Velvet Bingo' V (Chris V), Thursday, 4 March 2004 21:01 (twenty years ago) link

so the barcode has been done to death has it? at least it was a good idea when i though of it a long time ago.

i am more into black magic markers anyways.

kephm, Thursday, 4 March 2004 21:05 (twenty years ago) link

I think the bar code is a fantastic idea - especially since it means something important.

Parade-rainer-on-ers.

luna (luna.c), Thursday, 4 March 2004 21:13 (twenty years ago) link

I think I'll get a brass-knuckled fist framed by broken pencils and graffitti.

Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Thursday, 4 March 2004 21:15 (twenty years ago) link

It's not necessarily as important as it could be, though, which is why I'm not sure and why I keep putting it off. Partly I want to ring myself up at the cash register, after all, which I don't think I can do with this bar code, since it's not being sold many offline places.

Tep (ktepi), Thursday, 4 March 2004 21:33 (twenty years ago) link

yeah, my idea was just a random barcode, a bag of frozen peas or something. this was like 1989.

kephm, Thursday, 4 March 2004 21:40 (twenty years ago) link

Parade-rainer-on-ers!

I definitely need to get more work done on my shoulder. I've got the money for it, now all I need is to wait for my bro to get me the appointment with his superstar tattoo dude. That should take another year. Bastard f0cker.

Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Thursday, 4 March 2004 22:27 (twenty years ago) link

Totally. See all the planning and strategy in that girl's face? That's me on the money.

Jeanne Fury (Jeanne Fury), Thursday, 4 March 2004 22:32 (twenty years ago) link

My wife (a youthful animal activist in the late 1970's) wrote a letter to Amy C. to ask her to stop selling tuna sandwiches to reporters, because the tuna wasn't dolphin-safe. Amy promptly complied, and replied with a nice note. OH YEAH BABY!

actually, were I to get a tattoo, it would be OH YEAH BABY! not telling where, though.

I used to know Amy Carter's pot dealer; the fact that she had one (w/Secret Service agents follwing her to the drug den) is deeply unsurprising.

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.

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.

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)

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

she carries a torch. two torches, actually (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Friday, 16 August 2019 00:43 (four years ago) link

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.

change display name (Jordan), Friday, 16 August 2019 00:56 (four years ago) link

The person whose Instagram that is — her name is Julia Campi0n3

Also I gotta say that the way she said “we’ll take this at your pace because this is your first time” showed me that this was going to be a good experience She checked in w me a number of times before it became clear that as long as I was talking about music, my dog, or my job I was sufficiently distracted from caring about the physical sensation. Would recommend her without hesitation!!

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 16 August 2019 01:08 (four years ago) link

Without knowing me at all she had set up the Spotify station around a Can song!!! It was fun talking about Mother Sky while being needled.

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 16 August 2019 01:09 (four years ago) link

That's a lovely tribute, LL. I also got my first ink this year. Inner upper arm; the parts closest to the inner elbow and armpit were FUCKING JESUS CHRIST THAT HURTS but I am nevertheless planning to fill in a half sleeve with two more pieces.

Chuck_Tatum, Friday, 16 August 2019 12:41 (four years ago) link

I recommend following artists whose work you like on Instagram! I followed mine after erstwhile ilxor Carl Agatha got a tattoo by her and since have enjoyed both her images and captions. Knowing who she (the artist) is (as a person) a little better helped me decide that this was the right thing to do and helped me feel safe and confident about the decision.

I feel different! Also the magic of having my dog with me forever seems effective. I feel like her spirit hasn’t disappeared.
