This was my first. Two and a half hours of work on one of the top five most painful (and awkward) places a week after my 18th, wanted it for 3 years. Got me addicted. I got this because no matter what you do and whatever happens you have to love your life. I know it sounds lame but just seeing this makes me happy and helps get rid of the stupid things in life that I worry about.

My second and most recent. I got the idea from Fight Club, the book more than the movie but the movie did get it right for the most part. Tyler (Brad Pitt) says that "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else, and we are all part of the same compost pile." Depressing but true. I took it to mean that I am not better than anyone so I shouldn't be an egotistical prick, but at the same time, no one is better than I am so I don't need to deal with peoples bad mouthing and shit. Love it, drew it myself so it feels more personal to me.. Got it placed a little below my wrist so I can cover with a long sleeve when I need to. Got to get a job for with the Fire Department

I am planning another one with the quote "Not all those who wander are lost". I designed it with a compass. When I stop buying cigars and save some cash I will get it done and post a pic of it.

'tis better to bump an old thread with a pertinent post, rather than start a clone thread (which I've done

)

Cool tats. It's always interesting to hear the reason behind them.

I figured it was the wise choice.

I think stories are the reason for tattoos. That's why I can't stand it when people get a stupid flower or something just to get a tattoo. But its their body so whatever.

No tats. No identifying marks on my body for security cameras to identify

**cinda** · 03-13-2010, 02:07 AM

Thats why you get them in a place where you can cover them up. Its a pretty easy plan.

That plan makes no sense. That is like having a 2 foot long dick and wearing baggy pants.

Here is one I had done on my ankle back in '07- The atypical Jesus fish (trinity symbol interwoven as fins):

**Tdre977** · 03-13-2010, 11:09 AM

Have my angel and reaper on my back

My sexy lady cop

and my hot rod pin-up, Ive gotten her colored since and added a car on the inside of the arm behind her, still haven't taken any pics tho. Im a big fan of pin-ups

**Cigarbear** · 03-15-2010, 11:23 PM

This started as just the center portion. It was a medalion from an old girlfriend representing the trinity of mind, body & soul. I like the sentiment though don't miss the girlfriend

The rest was an addition drawn by a good friend by request. I asked for something more around the outside and he delivered. It wraps around both side of my shoulder and onto my chest but I don't seem to have pics of the rest at the moment.

My Grateful Dead homage

I told my artist I wanted a (Steal Your Face for those 'heads out there) GD skull with stars in the upper area. He started in on this, stopped & said "Do you trust me?" Having seen how he turned a two dimensional sticker into a 3-D landscape I agreed and he managed a tye-dyed tattoo

We had talked about that during my consultation and how it was inpossible. I fucking love this guy!

This is my wedding crest. I asked one of my best friends, who stood with me and my brother at the service, to draw a family crest. She used mine and my wife's, Karen, intials along with our last. I had it done at a random shop but the artist was great. Less than an hour and all with the line needle, no fill.

My Simpsons tattoo. You can tell a true Simpsons fanatic when they recognize this. The pic isn't clear enough to see my wife's name tattooed on the fish's arm. It was her idea and both I & our artist said in unison "At tattoo...with a tattoo..." An odd note, the shop's piecing artist has a Hellfish on his leg too.

Unfortunately our artist moved to Idaho to be close to his mom. 6 hours each way but I'm planning on a new one this summer. Nothing like a family vacation to Moscow, ID so Daddy can get some new ink. Hell, after that drive, I'm betting Mommy doesn't go home without a new one herself
