[brianforster]

this one i got when i was 16, my mom signed for it, its not the most creative thing in the world but i still like it..



this one i got with chucky (bojangles_8686) cause weve pretty much been best friends since i moved down here in 3rd grade


its on the same arm, im thinking about doing like a half sleeve of a night/daytime landscape with the star obviously being part of the night and the bird being part of the day

nice crest

[Einhander]

Here are some outlines for my right sleve.

the back of the arm.


the front.


the arm pit.



Another 4 sittings and i'll have the back ground done and hopefully most of the color. I am 60% covered, Minus the face/head, When i get a chance i'll post of picks of the others.

[LewFX]

how much does a tat go for nowadays?

heres my future tat!

[Silver94CelicaOw...]

Haha. I should do that, get a tiny silhouette of the Celica on my arm. lol

I've been seriously thinking about getting something meaningful on my arm someplace. I don't know though, its been long in the works....I might get small tatoos for each side of my family like my older brother has, they look amazing.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

hmm this is a repost

[m0dd3d1]

what's a repost? this whole thing? honestly, haven't been around terribly long enough to know...and noone really talks about this stuff here. anyways; einhander those tats are sick! lewfx, tats at the shop i go to, are based on difficulty of tat and detail. not color or size like most places. so i really depends.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

yeah there was a thread like this a while ago cause i posted my tattoo in there. I was just saying cause i remember the other thread

[Insanity-74]

One of my tattoo`s



Not very exciting but I like it...have a few others but thats my fave one...had it done in -Second skin- I think it was called in LA on Santa Monica Blvd about 4 years ago, the day I left to go back to the UK after staying in the US slightly longer than I intended to.

[m0dd3d1]

what's your tat?

[hurley97]

i just got mine like 2 mo. ago
its my first/only tattoo so far (im 19, i got time)

its just a little star on my left wrist. its black and it fades to red in the middle. i'll get a pic later

[hurley97]

ooooh oooooh oooooh! such pretty tats! Mine are nowhere near as intricate but I'll be back to post them anyway!

[mzztoyota]

I'm so late, but I'm also so bored...

here's the one on my back...I can't find any good ones of the one on my arm...oh well...

sorry for the horrid quality of the pic, lol

[bojangles_8686]

Heres mine..

This one has gone through 3 different stages

First it was just the outline of the guy with the stereo, then it was shading, then the wings were added. The figure is from the cover of the movie "Say Anything", funny thing is, I have never seen that movie.

Here is my bird and music note, like BrianForster said we got the birds together. The music note was done by a lesbian tattoo artist who was cool as hell. I want to put some words in the banner part but havent thought of what to say yet and its been 2 years lol

[sugarfree]

Anyone if tattoo shops do yakuza tattoos?

[m0dd3d1]

*BUMP*

Anyone got any new tats!?


-Triscuit

[devilsden97]

not I, i heard thos things are permenent now.

[devilsden97]

so i went into a tatoo place, and was like:

"I want this tattooed on my ass"



Me and somebuddies got a laugh at it, so did the female tattoo artist. She kept my photocopy, to hang on her corkboard, so she could have a story. end lame story now.

[mzztoyota]

^^ ~chuckle~

[Valo666]

So after like 4 years of procrastination, i FINALY got mine. Its a memorial tattoo of people ive lost in last few years and also a symbol of love for my girlfriend who ive been goin out with on n off for like 5 years now. So, this is how it is like 24 hours after i got it. Its scabbing and needs a few little touch ups. I jumped once or twice when i got it because he hit some really tender areas.


ill post pics when its fully healed and after the touch ups.

[hurley97]

on the wrist... nice.

i posed pics before but they weren't very good...

I got it back in May, this was less than 24 hrs old


this was 5 mins ago

you using tattoo goo or any thin on it?? it looks pretty faded considering how old it is. My friend has a tattoo on each wrist in full colour and quite a bit of detail and he uses tattoo goo every day on it at least once, and his tattoos look like they are not even 2 weeks old and hes had them for like 2 years.

i used vasaline lotion for like a month like i was told to then stopped. when i put lotion on it looks much better than that. but thats a good idea, i think i'll look into it. thanks

[mzztoyota]

test the tattoo goo on a small part of skin first, some people break out with weird little bumps...it shouldn't mess up the tattoo since it's already way healed, but it may bother you to have red bumps on your skin...

[amysmojo]

thinkin of getting one soon, dunno where i would want it though!? i thought the location would be easy to decide!

[shin]

hmm guess i'll need to post new pics of mine. i got self designed one on each arm

[amysmojo]

I was thinking about getting this...

[m0dd3d1]

That's cool, but why not get a deftones' themed tat? Instead of an exact copy of the album art? I think it'd be more worthwild for you as well as having a 1-of-a-kind piece of art on you! Just a thought.

-Triscuit

Anyone if tattoo shops do yakuza tattoos?

Can you explain the meaning of yakuza tattoos?

[shin]

yakuza tattoos are something like that


it's said that the more circles/shadows they have the higher their rank are. yakuza = japanese mafia. here's more

[Akira_g4]

My 18th bday present to myself. nothing too special, just a tribal design

on the wrist... nice.

i posed pics before but they weren't very good...

I got it back in May, this was less than 24 hrs old


this was 5 mins ago

i like how tats look so bright and bold right after you get them. but then they start to fade with time

Not if you treat them right, from the very beguinning! It also depends on the ink/artist; ie. how deep they go, strength of the ink, vibrance of the ink, etc.

yakuza tattoos are something like that


it's said that the more circles/shadows they have the higher their rank are. yakuza = japanese mafia. here's more

Yeah, I knew what the Yakuza were, and I've seen that style of tats before, I've just never heard them referred to as Yakuza Tattoos. That's cool, I don't have any though. That's a lot of work man. I've got a japanese piece i'm working on currently, nothing that big though, just the size of my chest.

-Triscuit

I like the album art, thats why Not saying your idea is bad, I just think this album art looks like a good idea for a tat, you can look at it and not know that it has to do with deftones at all. I think "band" tats aren't a good idea because who knows if you are going to like them in the future, its like getting a girls name tattooed on you.

[amysmojo]

edit: trampstamp ftl

Well I tried taking a picture via my cell phone of my design since im at work... as you can see it came out blury sooo I had my phone digitize it so make it crisp & clear woooo.

Its an A & an S merged together (my first & middle initials)









So that is pretty much how it will look...except it will just be black ink. If you don't like it ---> dont tell me LOL I'll be stuck with it not you! hehe.......

Anyway I have been doodling this little design for like 6+ years now & all these years I say this is what I would get if I ever got a tattoo...Sooo at least I have taken the time to think about it, right?!


I'm thinking about either putting it on my lower back, or ankle......maybe my upper back on my shoulder or somethin? I dunno! I don't know how big I want it to be either.

Cant decide *sigh*

Mine is not original, but its traditional. Just a souvenir from my 10 years of service. Planning on getting another tat on my other arm for balance, but not yet sure what i want.

[Valo666]

my tattoo since its finaly healed..its not bad looking, but it needs touch ups.


im gonna go out in about a month or so and gonna get another one with my gf. Shes getting a huming bird on her shoulder or neck and im gonna be gettin this on the back of my calf..


im gonna get it so that is just an out line but its coming out of the shadows kinda and only colour is gonna b the rose

you like the movie "Just Married"? Psssshhhh I fell asleep watchin that lol

So how much will the new tat cost you???

I will most likely be getting my tattoo this week some time. Just waiting to get my tax refund which will be between now & friday the 26th

[Valo666]

*shrugs*...my first one cost $60 and comes with free touch ups for life. So if it fades alot, i can get it re-done for free. But im gonna go to a diff tattoo parlor cuz i wasnt happy with my first one, but im guessin probably $150ish...im doin it step by step. Im doin that one next, then after that im gettin a portrait of my grandparents from their wedding day. Hes been really sick lately so its gonna be a memorial for him.

[amysmojo]

*gulp* I did it I did it! Best part was I barely felt a thing, I was like your kidding me... my cat bites harder than this haha. So either that spot doesnt hurt when u get a tattoo ...or I have a higher than normal pain tolerance

anyway here are some cell phone shots:

Dustin paid for it as a birthday gift to me, I'll let him tell you if he wants to. it took a little over 3 hours to do

[amysmojo]

dang thats a lot of stars!

I just bought my friend a star tattoo the other day Lol (it was her birthday) she got it on her side like that too

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Are you worried about if you get pregnant and them stretching Hurley?

How much did it cost?

Ive thought of getting a tat but they are so permanent lol I cant even seem to keep with one guy for longer than 3 months (except for my bf i have now. were going on 4 months lol) so I dont know if I could follow thru on a tat. I dont even know what id get. Itd have to be something that was really special to me.

[Valo666]

Dustin paid for it?? hey Dustin, u know my b-day is in about a week and a half...u wanna buy me one?

[CelicaBuddy]

awww thats sucha cool tattoo stef!

haha I've always wanted to get a star tattoo of some sort cuz Im totally obsessed with stars haha but I never got up the courage to get a tattoo because its perminate and I worry if I wont like it later on down the road, I dont know where I'd put it, and then I hear different stories that it can hurt like a b*tch getting...

I watched my boyfriend get his first tattoo while he was home for Christmas. It looked kinda painful

but yeah anyways... It looks great!

[tim86]

Thanks Sabrina!

I've always had a thing for stars too for some reason. it does hurt, but how much it hurts depends on where you get it. people used to always ask me if the tattoo on the wrist hurt a lot compared to other places but until now I haven't had anything else to compare it to. I have to say, in my opinion, it hurts the most on the wrist and on the side. the shoulder area was alright, bearable. the hip was nothing, it actually tickled a little.




Amy, hows the healing going?

[amysmojo]

its going good its just a pain in the ass to try & wear something to work that wont rub on it all day!! I wish it was summer time so I could wear tank tops to work lol

But the hardest part for me is trying to take a shower, I know we arent suppose toget them wet!!!

How long did it take to get that tattoo done hurley???? My friends star took almost an hour, but hers was about 3 inches wide & had a smaller star inside the bigger star & they are both pretty thick lines...

you can get it wet in the shower, just don't soak it. I was actually recommended to wash it with antibacterial soap in the shower.

yeah I have a small one with color that took about an hour. this one took 3 hours, its massive, I love it!

Celtic Cross. I dont believe what they say about bleeding worse when you drink, I was drinking rum WHILE getting inked and that took 2 1/2 hours, I experienced no adverse bleeding at all. Got a few more in store down the road. Trinity knot going on my shoulder blade and more celtic knots on my forearm.

[amysmojo]

here is my friends tattoo I bought on saturday for her bday - she wanted 3 of these going down her side but it hurt so bad that she is going to wait for the others Lol It looks distorted but its actually not, its just her retarded angles of the camera when she tried to take them herself ....plus its on her side so its gonna curve

[hurley97]

Thanks Vin! some look out of proportion because of the way I'm stretching, they really aren't, he did a great job.
I've always had a thing for stars. kind of a personal reason that I've never really told anyone before. when people ask I just say I like stars and leave it at that

lol. woah amy lol.. ermm.. left arm took 3hrs and right arm too 3 1/2hrs. left arm was done 6 years ago and right arm 5 years ago. i didn't have the celica then that's why there's no toyota logo lol.

I found if you use Glysomed uncented it does wonders. Mine never itched at all when i used it. The guys at the shop said to use handcream like twice a day or somethin like that..i put cream on mine like once ever hour or 2. Healed nice and quick and no itchyness at all.

Planning to get something like this in April. Small changes, and with a Kemp Ridley sea turtle.

yeah, i totally wasted the time it took to use paint.net to superimpose a tattoo on my forearm.

looks like a black line? lol

check my post on page three! i shrunk the picture for photobucket, so the quality decreased and the negative spaces are hardly visible.

i actually considered getting a few plain bands of different widths for a while, though.

here are my 6 that I have right now. I am actually getting another one on sunday which will be the Pittsburg State University Gorillas logo on my left arm.
Left ankle gearhead(isn't that good was my first tattoo 8 years ago)


Right ankle hotwheels logo(a real crappy job on this one but it is also 8 years old and I was stupid back then about getting tattoos)


Back. I got the kanji symbol on my left shoulder in amsterdam.


Right arm I love this one I let the artist freehand a little bit so the colors are a little different then how he originally is:

One of mine. Don't have the camera handy ATM for the other.
It's an older pic that was for something else, hence the flex...
It doesn't even cover the whole thing. It has combustion up top.
Looks just as good now as it did 4 years ago.
$170. I need to head back to NC and see if the dude is still there. Time for the camshaft on my other arm.
