I got my first tattoo today. I went in expecting the worst since I've heard so many horror stories about how much it's meant to hurt. It did hurt, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. The first few minutes were the worst and I had to stop to take my inhaler but the hour passed by pretty quickly.

It looks a bit faded on the picture but that's because of the cream I've put on it.

And yes, I'm tensing. :P

It's unique. I used designs that I found and sort of made my own. I'm not that bothered if they don't like it though because it's not them who has to live with it. I love it!

Im not really a tribal fan as you may be able to tell haha.

But as long as you're happy with it, than thats brilliant!
**** everyone else, you're the only one that matters when it comes to tattoo's.

NIce size though, you think of getting it extended further on in life?

Meh atleast get a tattoo of something that means something to you, but oh well too late now. Don't like it myself.

I don't like it. Seems like you would want something decent in a tatoo rather than a tribal conforimity.

I hate it when people say that you should only get a tattoo when you have a story or emotional tale to tell about it.

Why do tattoo's only have to be about the death of a loved one or something like that?

Why cant you just get one that practically says your personality from the outside?

I just think getting a tribal tatoo is stupid when you are not a member of a tribe and your life experiences do not relate to a tribe in any way. The same applies to things written in Chinese or Japanese, meaningless if you can't read them yourself or relate. Putting something on you're body for life isn't worth while if it's only because you think it looks 'cool'.

Cheers haha, and yeah. The flicks on both ends are there so that it can be easily extended although I'm not sure how I'd want it yet. I'll probably wait a few years and plan it all. :)

I agree with Wootzeh. I want a tattoo - but I'm not getting anything random just because it looks 'cool'. I'm going to wait until something happens in my life that I want to mark with a tattoo that represents that occurrence.

But it doesn't matter what we think - so long as you like it.

Why exactly do you need to be able to link a tattoo with a significant event for it to mean something, in your oh so wise opinion? It's body art, just like piercings. People rarely get piercings to mark an occasion. Both are also a form of expression and decoration in my opinion and that's exactly what I did.

Piercings aren't permanent though.

It just seems silly to get any random thing because you're stuck with it for life if you later on decide you don't want it (yes, there's certain treatments to remove it, but you'll have scarred skin). And with a piercing, you can easily take it out (it's reversible, unlike the tattoo).

It's up to the individual as to what they do to their skin and why, it's just our opinions.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything bad by it. It's just my opinion. Your choices are yours in the end and I'm not going to judge you either way because you have a tatoo I do or do not like.

The tattoo is their for a reason that being that he wanted it, wether a daft decision or not, itll remind him about something. Its not like it is at a place that is going to be shown 24/7 and will stop him getting a job. I like it :)

... well of course the reason will be because he wanted it. :rolleyes: He's not going to get it because he doesn't want it. :P It may (or may not) remind him of something, however it's not very personal/significant of anything important. As for the job comment, I think it's the Police Force where no tattoos can be showing if you're wearing a t-shirt.
