You can, I doubt it's common though.

Well seriously though, get a top quality artist and try to make it really grandiose.

I wouldn't want some bland thing on me, if I even cared about tattoos I mean.
 
Get either:
"L"
"Why so SERIOUS?"
"Let's put a smile on that face!"
"I'm afraid of sitting on my balls"

or none.

Honestly, I really not in the pro tattoo camp. Waste of money and time. They are painful, and they are more funny than cool when you get older.

That list is funny. He's right about the Nazi stuff, don't get that. As for the rest, the guy rating all those people must not have tattoos or something. It's a pretty sissy thing to do to make fun of other people's choice of tattoos. The guy talking all that smack knows that those fighters will never be able to confront him about what he said. He's quite brave.
 
I got this on my left arm almost 2 years ago. It didn't hurt much at all until they hit a vain or a bone.

Well he probably just did it for the fun of things. Although putting "cage rage" on your arms and I don't know if it's even still around.

Some tattoos are stupid, some are funny, some are good.

I'm gonna get "404" tattooed above my ass because that's denied access.




Seriously though I'm also in the camp of not having any desire to get a tattoo. I do, however, recognize that eventually I'll be put in a situation where I'm out with a bunch of friends drunk/high off my ass and someone gets the bright idea to get some tats because it'd be a hardcore thing to do. And I think I probably would end up getting finagled (yes, FINAGLED) into getting one. If I did it would probably be either some cool phrase or like my mom's name. Some stuff that comes to mind for phrases "Everything Burns."- The Joker, "It doesn't matter the color of a woman's skin, they're all pink on the inside.", "Life's a bitch and then you die.".
 
Still have no idea where I stand on this.

My biggest fear is just getting some kind of infection worse...a disease.
 
Does anyone here have any tattoos on their inner bicep? I have a lion tatt'd on my left upper arm/shoulder and I want to get a quote tatt'd on my left inner bicep. My friend told me that script doesn't hurt as much on the inner bicep as the shading does.
 
Talk about a big bump.

I'm going to hold off on this. The health risks are giving me chills.

I agree.

I have one, only a small Arsenal badge on my Upper Shoulder. About 10cm High and 6cm or so wide. I only got it because I wanted one :D But as JCB (I think) said, Get one that isn't visible with normal clothes. You can only see mine if I'm on the beach topless or wearing a vest. But i never wear a vest lol.
 
I want a tattoo, maybe like a green sleeve tattoo on one arm with demons acting demony and a purple sleeve on the other arm with angels acting all angelic. You know, symbolizing how humans are a mix of good and evil.
 
My advice is take your time with it, but go all out once you figure out exactly what you want.
 
That's actually the epitome of a tattoo you'll end up regretting.

"Daddy what's that scary man?"

"Well kids, this is a clown, from a batman movie I liked as a kid, that I named myself after on the internet."
