Tattoos?

[Inked_Daddy]

I don't know if anyone here is into Tattoo history or not but they are having a contest giveaway for a free DVD about Sailor Jerry over at the Sailor Jerry website.

Here's mine. And no, I wasn't taking a pee while I took this shot . I got this in 1995 on the day of Quebec's independance referendum...which prolly means absolutely nothing to most of you lol, but it was a huge deal to me...



It took about 45 minutes and cost $65. This is the next one I want (the one on the left, and obviously with colours. It's a Catholic thing:

Nice shot, Dute!

I finally got my tattoo yesterday. I had angelwings tattooed with my father's initials between them. He passed in february of last year and he's (hopefully) my angel on my shoulder

Very nice tribute, Linny.

I've posted this before, but what the hell.

Got the Pens logo when we got our arena deal; got the blue added last season when we won the Cup:

Anyone know why the explosion of tattooed people now came from. What I mean is I know it's a fad, like piercings, long hair, etc. but where did it come from? As in the baggy pants on guys thing came from the prison gangs. Esp. girls, when I was in high school almost NO girls had tattoos. But now it seems like every other girl from 15 to 50 has at least one. Does this "fad" have a origin?

Yeah that's good. It's a parody ad from SNL.

Why is everyone all of a sudden getting inked?
I'm a bit amazed at the number of tattoo parlors that we now have for a town our size.

I also wonder about lower back tats. AKA tramp stamps. Is it true that any girl who has one is an easy lay?
I suppose it depends on who has it but it does have the stigma attached to it. Any truth to that?

Yeah...about 5000 years ago or more.

It is just becoming more accepted socially that tattoos need not be hidden. People are finally pulling their heads out of their asses and seeing that having tattoos does not make one a bad person, nor "easy" nor any of the other shitty stereotypes that people usually spout. There is no real "explosion," but more and more people are getting tattooed openly now instead of having them hidden as in the past.

Geez...sorry. I didn't say anything bad about people with tattoos. I just consider it an "explosion" because not just people that have always had them but felt they had to keep them hidden are now showing them, but in the last 10 years or so, it's the thing young girls want to do the most. You just have to have a tattoo. I don't think before that it entered teenage or young twentys girls' minds like that. And I didn't mean to make it sound like I was putting girls down for it...almost all college boys basketball players have them all down their arms now. That is new in the last 4-5 years as well.

[GrinReaper]

Every so often you may hear of a workplace where someone has to wear long sleeves to keep their tats on the arms hidden.

I think it's a bit of both. That because they are getting more socially acceptible, that more people are getting them.
I also think more are getting them too because tats are getting more and more elaborate and colorful.

If I were to get a tat, I think I'd want a peace sign. Nuthin too fancy. But simple.
But then again, I don't wish to cover what came to me naturally with something permanent.

I shake my head when I see a bunch of just stupid or ugly ones that I see posted in pics on the net.
"What was that person thinking?" Either not much or they're not stable to begin with.

Tattooing "Fads" come and go in American History. In the early 20th century it was a "Hip" thing to do and was popular with the upper classes.

[chickababy8]

I love my rose tattoo...

I also have 16 piercings (so far)...

Man is that guy a class act or what?!

[Inked_Daddy]

His little teardrops are very scary. What a douchebag.

[RocketQueen]

All he has to do is grow a mustache and it's like it's not there at all. I'm not impressed.

[JefeStone]

Actually it dont even look like a real tattoo, it looks more like it was done with a sharpie.

[duster]

Nice!



Duster! I didn't know you were One of Us!

I am so!

Supposedly, that's also the coat of arms of St. Michael the Archangel (who I am named after). The challenge at this point is to get the Archdiocese of Toronto to confirm for me A) that it really is Michael's C of A, and B) What the correct colours are. I've heard they're supposed to be blue and white, which could prove to be a challenge for a tatoo artist...

So how much do you think he actually gets with that tat?

I'm sure I'd be surprised.

There is a guy in St. Louis who does Book of Kells tats. WANT. I would love a sacred heart someday.

[Wretched1]

My first. I got it last month on the way home from Iraq at FT Lewis Washington.

It should read Free Mustache Rides.

Haaaaaaaa!

Very Nice!!!

[Jrwzeigle]

OK, hags...I have a tattoo question....

I have one on my left shoulder, and it's a blue moon with a female face, that i drew myself. And I want another one to add to my collection - here lies the problem..

I want to incorporate 3 dates that are very signifcant to me and put it in some sort of Irish & English design to include my heritage...but am having a real problem with design.

Do you guys have any ideas? Please help!!!

[joplinfrk]

I just got home from watching the other half get the rest of her left "sleeve" colored in. She was shaking from the pain. Looks good though!

[Inked_Daddy]

We resumed the work on my sleeve today, just doing the outlines for now...

[RocketQueen]

^Awesome! Love the pin up!!!

[DaniZ]

I have another one as well, my dad's CB handle and his birth and death dates but I don't seem to have a pic of it, and it's on my right arm, so I'll have to have my boyfriend take a pic of it when he gets home from work. I've just got the 2, he's got 6. I was supposed to get a new one for my birthday but couldn't afford it.

[lisagr]

I searched to see if this had been brought up before and didn't find anything. Seems like it would be very painful.

The sale has nothing to do with me but I figure someone serious about tatoos may be interested.

[GODDESS6]

^Awesome! Love the pin up!!!

[Inked_Daddy]

[ppepper]

If he has to advertise, hes probaby not any good!

[SomeChick]

Wonder if he goes to his mom's for Thanksgiving without a mustache? "Sorry son, we don't have any pussy. Will turkey work for you then or no?"

[Meli]

Yeah that's good. It's a parody ad from SNL.

I suppose it depends on who has it but it does have the stigma attached to it. Any truth to that?

wow, Im a little late to this party, but I had to comment on this. Ive had my tramp stamp for 6 years now. I think it does depend on the female, and it does makes me feel a bit wilder, but NOT enough to be an easy lay lol.

Oh hun, I have tribal so we're in the same boat!

[RocketQueen]

Yes, the minute the needle hits your skin you turn tramp. True fact. Look it up. It's in medical journals and such.

[Nessa]

The minute the needle hits my skin I immediately think, "That hurts more than I remembered."

[RocketQueen]

^me too. It hurts more the older I get.

[Nessa]

I almost threw up the last time, but the dude was using a 24 mag and had been grinding on my spine for two hours. I waited till we were out of the shop though before I announced, "I want to throw up."

[Inked_Daddy]

^me too. It hurts more the older I get.

For some reason the last session seemed to hurt more than anything I had done before. Maybe it was because we were tattooing the inner elbow. Usually getting Tattooed does not bother me much but that hurt.

Is that Mr. Limpet ???
