you will be ok. upper arm should hurt but not be anything crazy. now if you said you were going for something on your chest it might be different. that looks intense.

"but you have to remember all tattoos fade eventually bc of normal "wear and tear.""

i've had my tat for almost 8 years now and it looks almost as good as it did the day i got it. fortunately i don't "lay out" in the sun and its on a part of my body thats never exposed so i guess it keeps it so fresh and so clean clean

i think about getting another one all the time but the whole corporate america thing keeps me from doing it. part of my affection for my tattoo is that i can't see it without a mirror so i forget about it a lot. i don't think i'd enjoy a tattoo i could see everyday anytime i wanted

7/26/2008 2:31:45 PM

i've read how it looks in a few years has a lot to do with how good the person is that does the tattoo.. not sure how true that is

7/26/2008 2:34:00 PM

i dont know. it is my only tattoo but i went to the guy who did my neighbors tattoos back in NC and she had a ton of them and they all looked great. mine is small and simple but i'm a woman who appreciates quality yo!

7/26/2008 2:37:00 PM

I got mine done in Savannah last year. It took 2.5 hours, and the guy and studio were awesome. The studio apparently only does work by appoinment, and they are booked months in advance. I got lucky because I went in on a sunday and they had a slot open up that someone paid a deposit on and didn't show up for.


Needless to say, I'll be getting more work from him soon.

7/26/2008 2:44:48 PM

No ribs, but I can certainly recommend against the back of your thigh for a tattoo...

Completely true.

It has to be put at just the right depth, otherwise it will fade or blur.

lewoods, you can get airfare to houston on continental for like $250 from raleigh

beats the hell out of driving for that price

7/26/2008 2:58:15 PM

Nah, I'd have fun on the way and my bike gets 60mpg. I wouldn't go straight to Houston, I'd probably take a week and do backroads and turn it into an adventure.

7/26/2008 3:26:35 PM

going to the pool makes you realize how many people have tattoos

7/26/2008 5:59:12 PM

oooooohhh a celtic knotted cross.... i used to want one of those till everyone started getting them...

i really think i might get the billy's ballon comic and the evolution stick figure one done on the insides of my arms

7/26/2008 6:25:56 PM

i kinda want a coat of arms

7/26/2008 6:26:46 PM

^^ Everyone?


I mean, I kinda of fiigured they might be popular, but I honestly haven't seen anybody with one since I got mine.

and it actually means something to me, where I can bet that most people who have something similar just got it because it looked cool...

7/26/2008 7:01:46 PM

Celtic is the new tribal...

7/26/2008 7:27:29 PM

yeah i think its kinda played out as well

7/26/2008 7:28:35 PM

anybody have a tattoo on their foot? im hoping to get mine in the next week or two...

7/26/2008 7:30:01 PM

my stepdads stepfather has a spider on his foot...said he was in a bar once and got it...he says he wishes he would not have gotten it

my ex has one on the top of her foot.. the guy doing it said that and ribs were the most painful

7/26/2008 7:43:11 PM

i've always wanted a celtic cross too kiljadn

i want a rustic look to mine, though

7/26/2008 7:45:36 PM

i have another relative with one on his ankle and he said that one hurt like fuck too...i heard there is some spot on the lower back where either the kidney's or liver are only like an inch away and that one kinda hurts...everywhere else i've heard is about the same

7/26/2008 7:45:59 PM

every spot is different

anywhere tender to a light scratch will hurt more

areas that can take some impact will be lighter

not brain surgery

7/26/2008 7:52:00 PM

Right when I thought I was out of my "wanting at tattoo" phase...you fuckers go and bring me back in.

7/26/2008 7:54:43 PM

but is celtic the new tribal when you have celtic ancestry? I think not.

7/26/2008 8:49:11 PM

Qntm and I got Möbius strips on our feet. That one was pretty painful.

7/26/2008 9:19:01 PM

And I've seen some awesome tribal on some native Hawaiians, but that doesn't mean everyone should have it.

Most people get the content horribly wrong on both, so it no longer resembles anything tribal or celtic and just looks lame.

7/26/2008 11:17:15 PM

some interesting tats from a burlington girl

7/26/2008 11:52:14 PM

interesting piercings

7/26/2008 11:52:35 PM

she's a fan of that type of piercing.

7/26/2008 11:53:48 PM

her name isn't Paula is it?

7/26/2008 11:54:17 PM

nah...ashelle. just go to club kryptonite and you can meet her in person.

7/26/2008 11:57:14 PM

will do

7/26/2008 11:58:56 PM

7/27/2008 12:00:23 AM

the eye tattoo is a little much imo

7/27/2008 12:00:54 AM

yea eye tattoo looks like some shit off star trek

but i'd fuckin destroy that shit, no doubt

7/27/2008 12:05:53 AM

I want to get some digits of pi around my left bicep and a some digits of e around my right and the quote "Mathematics is the language with which God has written the Universe."

I've thought about getting sine and cosine around the pi but since i don't have anything in mind to go around e I might not do that

also I want to get e^i*pi+1=0 somewhere but i'm not sure where and maybe maxwell's equations put into some design

7/27/2008 12:37:55 AM

good ideas there..

7/27/2008 12:38:25 AM

do you really think so, or are you being facetious

they would all mean something to me

7/27/2008 12:40:02 AM

I actually liked them, no shit

7/27/2008 12:41:12 AM

yeah me too, i'm just not sure i really want a tattoo yet, but if i decide to get some i'll go with the pi e quote thing first

7/27/2008 12:45:10 AM

yeah i've been wanting to get one on my back for a few years but can't figure out what i want exactly..

7/27/2008 12:48:12 AM

I've seen some other designs i've really liked but i don't want to copy someone elses hard work

7/27/2008 12:53:03 AM

yeah i agree.. i want something original yet something that fits me.. i dunno, kind of hard to come up w something that i'll have forever

7/27/2008 12:55:00 AM

exactly, i've thought about getting maxwell's equations designed into an infinity symbol but i'm still not sure where i'd get it

7/27/2008 1:11:28 AM

hey ncstatetke did you get it?

7/27/2008 12:08:51 PM

yessir

and I loved it. A+++ will get again

7/27/2008 12:10:01 PM

I'm going to get a gnarly piece on my calf. It will be a gnarly shark locked in mortal combat with a giant squid with waves and lightning and shattered pirate ships.



Rad.

7/27/2008 12:12:36 PM

gnarly

7/27/2008 1:12:47 PM
