Help me pick out a tattoo.

I think that two is overdoing the durrs, otherwise I am pro-tattoo (well, mostly, obviously there are trashy tats). I have the Companion Cube tattooed on my right wrist.

The DURR face is for me. The other two are for her. And yes she thinks they'll be sexy. So the tats do matter. But she's also approved.

It's always interesting to find out what other people find sexy. Personally I generally see tattoos as detracting from someone's sexiness.

Hope you and your wife are both pleased with the outcome.
 
I know you said the penis tattoo is out but hear me out. Get a ruler tattooed onto your penis but make the ruler 1/8th to scale but don't tell your wife it's not accurate. Makes your junk look bigger. Take it from me and my full 4 inch tattoo. (Not really 4 inches but my wife will never know.)
 
I don't know if you're serious, or will actually do it, but the idea of Dave getting the durr face tattoo makes me happy.
 
I realize you are 165 now, but remember when you were 155? Yeah, your 155 year old self was an idiot, right? Well guess what? Your 175 year old self is going to think you are a freakin' moron right now.

Just sayin'

:p

I dunno man, giving up dj'ing, gettin' tats. Is this how forum admins make it through their midlife crisis? You know, we'd all pitch in and buy you a sports car if you think it would help.

:D
 
If you do Skull Bat, leave the name of the band off. the folks that know, will. the ones that don't will think that it is a decently cool tat.

I think something Marine style would be good.
I think you should be careful with band tattoos...
Yes, tattoos for things that YOU belong too are ok. But other types of tat's not so much.

I will never get a tattoo. Mark my words.
that should be your tattoo.

I'm going to the a stand and say that getting the durr face may not be as cool

in fact I think it will be the regret tat.

just throwing that out there so I can be the statistical hater.

I'm sorta thinking the same thing... I'd be hesitant at the very least. Sleep on that one for about a year.

So, I'm just wondering. Are they going to stretch your wrinkly skin over an easel?
 
I thought his skin elasticity was a genetic condition?
In the video, yes. His problem is that he doesn't generate the collagen his skin would use.

Your body also lowers its production of collagen as you get older, so the elderly also lack collagen, and thus have thin, stretchable, wrinkly skin.

So here are the tatoos I am planning on getting. Feel free to steal them.

1) Gun Rack across my back

or

2) Longhorns across my back, but where the horns curve down and in, they go through my back and out through my chest. My nipples are the end of the horns.

3) Arrow to my junk that says "I'm with stupid."

4) Something written. More than likely it will be charge of the light brigade. Love that poem. There are far more layers to it than people give it credit.

5) Ninjas. Like lots of them. Fighting all over.
 
I made a joke with the owners of 4WFG when they got their latest pieces of ink that I should get the Ekatonkier (a monster/construct I developed for Albion Armitage's Astounding Arsenal) tattooed on my back. So when I got to ValleyCon, Connie pulled up my shirt and checked!
 
Well, dude... I see you're throwing yourself full out on this (from zero to 3 pieces!? And one huge back piece?!) so I don't think I can change your mind much, but with tattoos there's two golden rules my artist gave me that I think are incredibly rational:

First, don't get a tattoo for getting a tattoo's sake... it's a permanent scar in your body, you should know FULL WELL before hand what the design should be. A personal, well thought-out design. This is why my artist does not have a "catalog" like most tattoo parlors do... he thinks someone coming in and just choosing a random design from the wall creates tattoos that are later regretted. (He's an AMAZING artist who will gladly draw and sketch and ultimately ink the design WITH you, respecting every little nitpick you might have, cause, again, he knows it's YOUR tattoo and he's only drawing it)

Second, and this is the one I like the most: When you decide on a design for a tattoo you want to get, first put it somewhere you see EVERY DAY for one whole year. If after a year of seeing the design every day, you still want to get it... that's your cue to do so. (You wouldn't believe how many people try this out and get tired of seeing their chosen design 6 months in).

That's my advice. The second rule is the one I would want you to consider the most because it's designed precisely to control that initial "YES!! I'M GETTING A TATTOO!!" euphoria we all get when we make the decision first.
 
Two suggestions, both from wrestling.

1) The Undertaker, while married, had a tattoo of his wife's name across his neck, around the adam's apple. (Not there anymore since their divorce.)
2) Three words: Bam. Bam. Bigelow.


(And of course, I'm referring to the total badass scalp tattoo.)

I have to put it off for now, anyway. With the wife losing her job we've got to watch the money.

going back throguh older stuff, came across this thread. you ever end up getting the fundage for this endeavor, old man? Or do you still have it on hiatus?

Side note, tattoo number four was completed yesterday afternoon. That was four hours of pure fun for me!

 
I don't like band tattoos, or tattoos that take themselves too seriously.

I know a guy who got a Superman logo on his arm. He goes on saying how Superman is a symbol for Christ blah blah blah...

I like my tattoos to be funny. That's the kind of guy I am. Fuck em if they can't take a joke.

I shit you not this is what I want a mural of on my back:



Why? Because when someone asks why I got it, I can say, "why not"?

She's still unemployed. But I plan on getting them first - first will be the Marine Corps anchor & eagle. Second will be the durr face. Last, most expensive and the most work is the deathbat on the back.
