Post by Rob M »

well do ya? if so, post some pics.

and on the ethical side, do you think they are worth getting? and if you've got 1 or many done, do you appreciate it even more now?

anyone with partners that have tattoos that they admire? come on do share. i'm interested in knowing what junglists mark their skins with :D

I'd like a tat of an audio wave like this

But I'd want it to be of a particular sound, like a sick synth used made by Rob F, like the one in Ultraviolet :twisted:

I have a circle of runes on my back.

A suggestion to anyone thinking of getting one.....think long and fuckin hard about what you want.

It took me 2 years to come up with a design. It started out with japanese characters on my arm and ended up with norse runes on my back. Go figure.

BTW Stevie that is an awesome concept. Love it - very you.

And once you get one....you are always thinking about the next one. 8)

I'm getting a geisha in front of a japanese maru silk pattern in a few weeks... getting it done in a dark red almost maroon colour- does anyone have any reds in their tattoos? I heard it fades quicker or something, can anyone confirm?

I was a considerably late bloomer and only got mine October last year. My ex boyfriend, his ex-girlfriend and her current boyfriend got me a voucher at Tattoo Magic. I'd been talking about getting a tat for the first anniversary of my Dad passing away so they gave me the incentive to do it. :D


It's the word 'micro' in Greek but it means 'small one' or 'smallest' really. Dad used to call me his micro (pronounced mee-kro) and I really liked it. :D I don't have a pic and my legs are far to hairy to do it for ya now, but it's plain black greek font across my lower left ankle.


I'd SOO recommend it, but only if you a) really fucking want one and b) know exactly what you want. But it's addictive :shock: And remember that you'll have it when you're 60 and retired... :?

I've got 3 all together.

one above each ankles. one is the Lithuanian cross,
Image

the other is another famous Lithuanian symbol of a castle - it also looks like a tie fighter ;)
Image - although without the rings on the top or the writing around it.



Also one on my chest over my heart, which my other 2 mates have the same design, its the Lithuanian coat of arms.

(its only black and outlined - no shading but that'll be done later on)

Hey Mixtress, do you remember Cam (Travs younger brother)? You probably remember him as a squeaky clean young do gooder. Cam is absolutely covered in tatts now, has got em covering all his legs and on his back, each tatt has cost him at least $1000, seriously got some of the best tatts ive seen, although im sick of him wearing shorts o show em off.

Alright, maybe not the best for a tattoo. Cool though.

i have 2 at the moment. Haven't any photo's for you but perhaps one day. Have been considering my third one for about two years now and have a design but i haven't it as a priority. I will need a couple of thousand dollars in the least.

I have found that after the first one i was already thinking of the next one and same goes when getting the second ne i was thinking about the third one. Would never get a record label though. Well not a drum and bass label anyway.

damn, i have to say that is pretty fuckin cool!

have been thinking about my second tatt aswell. it is addictive.

but yeah i highly recommend that if you is gonna get one think about it for at least a few years. if you still have the same tatt in mind then get it. if you continually change your mind than it ain't worth it cos your mind will eventually change again and you don't want to be pissed with something stuck to your forever!!! :shock:

Ruby - that sounds like a well wikkid tatt :smt045

Mixxy - love yours cos of the meaning :D i too have meaning with mine...which means a lot :P

I have the chinese symbol for little sister on the back of my neck. It was a 21st bday present from my big sister. She has big sister on her leg and we brought my little brother one for his 21st. We are now trying to convince my parents, but so far no luck!

i have two other tats and I love them all. Thoought long and hard about what I wanted and I have never looked back and have never regretted them.

okay pics would probs take even longer than me explaining them. but ill look around later and see if i can rustle some up.

back - angel holding a dagger and heart from 'american nightmare - the sun isnt getting any brighter 7"' at the top of my back.
medieval knight brandishing a sword and summoning up some crazy fire magic stuff on the left half of my back.

right arm - swirling japanese style smoke starting in my inner elbow and winding around my arm with a swarm of mosquitos flying into focus and taking over the foreground.
silhouette of a guy on fire on outside of arm.
blood for blood logo (skull crying a blood tear) on inner part of arm.
dagger through a rose on the back part of arm.

left arm - the japanese demon oni covering the top, outside part. over shoulder area.

forearms - the phrase 'dont walk away in silence' from joy division - atmosphere on forearms. for my uncle. sorely missed and still loved.
the punisher skull on my inner right wrist. a red and black tattered looking heart on my inner left.

chest - phantom protection mark on my left side.
a rotting sacred heart held together with bandages with 'hope' inside covering most of the middle from sternum to collarbone.

right leg - 3 x's that look liek the skin has been ripped off running down the front covering from knee to ankle.
a greyscale skull missing the top of his head on the back above my ankle. first part of an ongoing piece.

i think thats all of them.
i normally have had ideas for tattoos for awhile and am able to mull over them as long as i want. i still love all of them. there are some i probs wouldnt have gotten if i had the power of hindsight but im not that fussed.
ive been really lucky in that a few of my good friends have been tattooists and so ive always gotten good work and been hooked up with dudes they know who have skills.
id rather have a good lookiing regrettable tattoo than a shitty looking one i still want.
but they should be given a real good think about before you get them.
a friend of mine is still half-covered in nazi and biker tattoos from back in the day. hes now married to an asian girl with kids and hes saving up to get the rest removed.
