Tattoo/Pierce topic

[Blood Fetish]

I have this tattooed over my back. This is the battle standard from Seven Samurai (obviously without the English text), my favorite movie of all time. I actually got this almost 10 years ago and had to do a screen shot and an overlay on my back to get the positioning right for the artist. This cover is from years later.

Do you like tattoos/piercings?
Why?
What style you find most interesting (biomechanical, tribal, animals, cartoons etc.)?
Do you have any?

- i like tattoos, i think they are stupid if they dont heave meaning to you. piercings are ok
- i like art. also, dependsing on where they are on a guy they are hot

- i believe whatever has meaning to the person, its good. who cares about style.
- i have 3 main tattoos planned, 2 others wanted once i get a design worked out. after that, i dubt i will get any more. for piercings, i want to *cough*get my nips pierced

but i doubt it will happen.

I find piercings to be OK, but I honestly don't get why people would get tattoos. Like, your body is fine the way it is, why get something permanently drawn on it? It just doesn't seem right to me, or maybe it's my Asian self. Most Asians don't like tattoos, it used to represent you're part of a gang / yakuza or something, but nowadays more and more people are getting them, but it's still not widely accepted in society. I have to agree with them too. =/

1) Meh, I don't like tattoos and such.
2) Just don't.
3) No style.

4) Of course not.

That's a sweet one, tiny.

It is yours?

Mine is:
It means sisters in Latin. The thorns are because it represents a hard journey.

And yes, the letters look a little uneven - I should get them touched up, but my girl needs to do it....

I agree with you(accept about the part of being Asian).
Seriously imagine yourself an old wrinkly Man/Woman with those tattoos. You'll look very weird. Yeah I do think the look cool (especially yours toni, that looks pretty f'in awesome with that robot stuff) but once people get old I think they will regret them.

Oh GOD!! I seriously regret looking at that pic. = =

This pic was taken about a week after it was done. http://i52.tinypic.com/25jfj39.jpg

It's the planetary symbol for venus, with the circle at the top changed into a heart. That modified symbol right there is the symbol of Sailor Venus in the TV show Sailor Moon. The orange doesn't symbolize anything specific, it's just Venus's color. The entire tattoo itself does have a meaning by association.

Sailor Venus was one of my favorite sailor warriors, and she is always happy, bubbly, popular, funny, and pretty much everything I want to be. It's a reminder through my times of depression to stay strong and positive just like she is.

Thanks for the nice words, however I'm full aware that some people dislike tattoos, and there are people who dislike me based on my tattoos, so it's all well. I guess I don't need people like that around me anyways

If I'm about to imagine myself an old wrinkly person, I don't think I would look especially pretty with or without tattoos.
Picture you included only goes AGAINST your comment, as guy in the picture doesn't seem to regret his tattoos, quite opposite, seems like he's still enjoying the art, and if I'll be imaging him without tattoos, I wouldn't find him anything MORE attractive then he is now

(if you get what I mean)..The guy is an old dude however you put it..he'll be "ugly" with or without tattoos..tattoos only make him look more interesting..well, that's my personal opinion and view on the matter.

I respect other views on this whole thing, however I still don't understand people who say "I'm against tattoos and it shouldn't be widely accepted in society". If you don't like it, OK, don't do it, but to look at others differently just because they have a PICTURE on themselves, it's silly. OK, if they have tattooed something that represents hate, or motif that clashes with your own beliefs, I can see the point here, but that's completely another subject. I mean tattoos in general should be perfectly normal, just as jewelry, clothes, hair style and other life things that individualize a person.

EDIT: FAST6191, yeah, I agree with you fully. I'm pretty sure guy has some interesting things to tell.

[The Catboy]

At the moment I only have 2 rings in my ears that I did myself

Spoiler

When I get the money I am getting my belly button pierced and a tattoo that I am still working on.

 

[t^2]

I used to pierce people. Quite a nerve-wracking experience that was.

I also used to have 7 piercings (3 in each ear, and 1 lip), now I just have one 7/16" plug in each ear. Getting my first tattoo soon, and thinking about getting my tongue and labret pierced. :3

I used to actually have a 0g, 4g, and an 8g all in one ear. It looked really sweet, I'll try to find a pic.

Piercings are widely accepted where I come from, it's not uncommon to see people with facial piercings or huge holes in their ears working anywhere. I love it. ^.^

Also ball seems to be misinterpreting... he really doesn't look like he regrets his tattoos to me.

[Kwartel]

I personally dislike tattoo's, but the idea of the one you wanna get is quite awesome!

BTW: Holland/ Belgium? Then why do you have a Aussie flag?
