Mine doesn't look the same

It can't because it's my music and I wrote it and designed it you dont matter.

And I've never seen anyone with a manuscript tattoo, so -shrug-

i'm rethinking tattoos.

mostly to the point of; do not want.

so many people of my generation want them for whatever reason when, they may be personal and special to them, but they all end up looking the same... idk.

i've been brought up to believe they're common and nasty and it'd take one hell of a lot to convince me otherwise, for now.

i like my skin the way it was made, tbqh, and who says it'll mean anything in thirty years? more likely, i'll be kicking myself, because that's what i'm like.

i actually completely disagree.
i mean, yeah, some tattoos -mean something- for now but in two years when you break up with that guy whose name is tattooed to your ass, you're screwed.
but if it's something to do with, for instance, your family, and it really does have -meaning-, or music, i don't particularly see what's wrong with it.

and ps, telling everyone here you think tattoos are common and nasty when we're all planning on getting them is a little rude. tbqh. at least, i took offense to it.

i WANTWANTWANT a tattoo right now, so bad. like it's getting to that point where i'm debating getting something my parents won't see (but i don't know where that could be) and not telling them till i move out.
but i think that's probably a bad idea.

I got a tattoo yesterday, AND THE PICS [the whole ~two of them] ARE UP!
Here we go:

Unfortunately I feel that once I got the first one on I now want another and another and I think I'll be covered by 21 if money allows me to do so LOL@CHUUU

I've always wanted a tattoo or two, they'd be small and in locations that are easily covered. But I never really knew what I wanted to get. I had ideas, but they didn't mean the same thing to me six months later or so. However, there is one that I made up my mind about. One that I know that I won't ever regret. I want to get "We are the light in the tunnel." in simple, cursive script somewhere. I've got to figure out where still, but yeah, that's my idea. nawwww

Another that's been stuck in my mind for a year or so: I want to get "Hold your head high heavy heart" in cursive script about my wrist. nawwww

Other than those, I can't see myself getting a tattoo that I won't regret two years later.

I'm getting the number 17, small and simple, tattooed on my left hip asap. I need to find a way to get around age laws, as I won't be getting parental permission. >.<

I will be getting the lyrics "To live and not to breathe is to die in tragedy" tattooed on the side of my ribcage. I don't know font or exact location yet.

I also want a tattoo of a heart--a literal heart--in a recycling bin or inside the recycling symbol, somewhere on my upper body. I had originally wanted the lyrics "Hearts recycled but never saved" but I decided I want a visual representation instead.

Of course, things can change but this is what I want now.

LightningRod · by LightningRod on Tue 18 Aug 2009, 1:56 am

I got another one today, had to sit for 3 hours straight and there's still another hour on it to go, but the guy had to stop because my body started rejecting the ink after 3 hours COLON HORROR!

Will put up pics of the stages when I get them from the guy, it's on my left shoulderblade and for obvious reasons I can't manouveur [spelling?] my arms around to get pics

Peace out, Aerin.

**LADIES AND GENTLEMEN** · by **LADIES AND GENTLEMEN** on Sun 13 Sep 2009, 11:10 pm

thats awful D: but wonderful that you got another one. I love tattoos!

I'm getting one very very soon, on the inside of my lip. It's going to say "THICK AS THIEVES". It's kind of a long, drawn-out explanation.

LightningRod · by LightningRod on Fri 25 Sep 2009, 11:41 pm

Why ~HULLO there Mikey lol@chu

Ah yes, the infamous tattoo which caused a massive FB thread lol@chu

Well my tattoo is finally finished now, just waiting for the guy to put up some photos of it.

And because of this one, I've basically got my entire upper body plan done, with another 4 pieces already organised and ready to go, as well as a cover up of another tattoo I already had LOL@CHUUU

**LADIES AND GENTLEMEN** · by **LADIES AND GENTLEMEN** on Sat 26 Sep 2009, 12:23 am

My god thats a lot. what's the one you're getting covered up?

LightningRod · by LightningRod on Sat 26 Sep 2009, 12:36 am

the one that's posted on here before hand, the one running down my wrist.

ALSO, I'm getting something done on my leg with a similar motive to yours. I's getting 6 manacles on the leg, one with the Zebrahead logo on it and the other 5 for the band members, as a sort of ode to them for the 10 or so years I've bene listening to them nawwww

And it is a lot yes, but I get all this for free as my dad does it i r pleased.

**more adventurous.** · by **more adventurous.** on Sat 26 Sep 2009, 12:58 am

I love tattoos. Except, I'm not allowed to get any. My parents are mean about it. ) :

Gah. I see tattoos and I practically cry because I can't get on.

i'm getting my tattoo sometime in october OMGOMGYAYAYAYAY

it's in memory of my grandfather.
it's going to look like this

but instead of the 136,
i'll have the the year he was born to the year he died.
i'm so excited ^______^

LightningRod · by LightningRod on Sat 26 Sep 2009, 5:39 am

Wait, I assume you are not from the UK or your age on here is false, because you have to be 18 at least to get someone to do a tattoo on you lol@chu

That's a good idea though, however be warned, the person who does it might suggest some changes to it, to try and make the design more unique to you.

**more adventurous.** · by **more adventurous.** on Sat 26 Sep 2009, 6:43 am

^ In Canada--where we're both from--you can get a tattoo if you're under 18 if you have a parent's/guardian's permission.

I'm going to assume it's mostly the same across the country at least.

tea-boy. · by tea-boy. on Sat 26 Sep 2009, 7:14 am

Am I the only person who strongly recommends you don't get tattooed before your legal? whatnow? O_O

If you get it while you're still going through puberty, it will most likely stretch and distort as you grow.
A classmate got a butterfly at fourteen, two years later she can't even tell what it is anymore.

**more adventurous.** · by **more adventurous.** on Sat 26 Sep 2009, 7:20 am

I'm nearly seventeen though. Which is only a year away from being legal. And while I'm not allowed to get a tattoo, I'm going to find a way to get around my parents.

But I'm pretty much done with puberty. I mean, I'm not growing anymore. Not really.

But I do understand what you mean. Especially with people getting inked younger and younger.

frayed ends · by frayed ends on Sat 26 Sep 2009, 10:33 am

i'm getting mine on my wrist.
so... it shouldn't really stretch i guess.

I understand that you are at an age in which it seems suitable, although I personally would say it is better to be safe than it is to be sorry. Also parenal consent shouldn't be an issue and with it you will probably get no qualms from the tattooist themself.

Yeah, as pointed out before it's a silly idea getting tattooed at the age when puberty really starts tokick in, it's cool at the time but you're then looking out at forking several hundred/thousand [insert currency here] to either get it touched up or get laser removal, which is even mroe expensive due to the fact you need at least 5-10 sessions to get anywhere :/

**Breakdown** · by **Breakdown** on Mon 28 Sep 2009, 2:37 am

I want a tattoo.
I'm starting to plan out some of them so that I can get them once I'm legal.

I'm trying to design a chest piece but I'm not 100% sure what I want.
I either want a sparrow in the center with leaves curling around the sides.
Or the lyrics 'As autumn's wind fades into black' with leaves on either side of the words.
Not sure though.
I want something to represent Autumn because that is my favourite time of the year and yeah...I look forward to it all the time.

My mom says she'll practically disown me if I get a chest tattoo though...

On another note, this kid at my school got an amazing tattoo done the other week and I love it.
It's seriously the best tattoo I've ever seen on an underage kid.
It's an elephant and then two flowers and it's just amazing.
I wish I had a picture of it...but that would be creeperish.

**gloria-** · by **gloria-** on Mon 28 Sep 2009, 4:21 am

so, i've decided on my first and second and third tattoos...only i only know where one of them will be.

the first one (as i've probably mentioned before but i'm too lazy to look) is going to be my family's chop, which basically means the chinese character that represents my family's name. i know i don't look chinese, but i am - a quarter chinese, actually - and my family name that isn't actually my current legal name is what i want to get on me. somewhere.

the second one i want is all of my cousins' names (i have seven of them) in their own handwriting. on my back, the symbolism for which is that i know they've always got my back. but i also want my two brothers' names and my name as well, which will represent feeling like we're all a family. this one may actually be more important than ^. but i'm waiting on this one for awhile (i mean, i'm still only seventeen, but i might wait awhile after anyway) because i'm kind of at odds with one of my brothers at the moment...=\

and the third tattoo i want is a set of quotation marks, which represents my writing. probably over or beside a vein. on my right arm, most likely.
