tatoo?

**italianplayboy09** · 12-15-2006, 11:46 AM

well i want to get a tatoo(this will be my first one) on the upper part of my back going across it, the problem is that idk what i want. i dont want to get anything lame or that will be dumb in a few years. do you guys have any ideas on what i could get? im thinking on getting something written in old english with pretty big letters but i just dont know what. also if i get a tatoo now and then start a cycle could i stretch it out and ruin it?

***perfectbeast2001*** · 12-15-2006, 11:49 AM

I dont think you need to worry about it stretching. I had a couple of tatts when i was really fat and thery still looked fine when I slimmed down again. As for what you should have, well that should be something that you really like..

**italianplayboy09** · 12-15-2006, 12:08 PM

yea i know but ive been thinking for months now and i have no clue on what to get. does that sound like a good spot to get the tat?

JUst dont' get one to get one. Make sure it feels right for you since it is a big commitment! Make sure it will always have meaning for your life

I have a Ambigram on my forearm, it reads one way the name of one of my son's and when you read it back to front it reads my other son's name, its very cool

**BlInDsIdE** · 12-15-2006, 12:20 PM

i was actually thinking about doing that but do you think thats a little corny? and it would also seem like my body is a sports jersey

oh i know and like i said i was actually thinking about getting that but i was also thinking what i said in that quote. like sman said i dont want to get one just to get one, i want it to be something i can live with for the rest of my life and wont have to worry about who sees it

***G-1000*** · 12-15-2006, 12:59 PM

This is what im looking onto getting on my back.

When they go acros your spine where the meat is thinner, it will feel like they are ramming a hammer through your back. But its all good, thats definately not the worst pain. It was more super annoying for me.

Trabal bands when they get to the inside of your bicep, now that f-in hurts. Thats why you see a lot of people with tribals that dont go ALL the way around.

**fenceguy** · 12-15-2006, 03:11 PM

thats cause they are all pussies

I dont care WHAT you say, it fuggin hurts. Anyone ANYONE ANY ONE. . .who says it doesn't with was drunk, on narcotics or doesnt have a full tribal. . .PERIOD. IT HURTS.

I didnt pussy out on mine, but by golly, it made my eyes water. I think it hurts more than ankles by FAR.

**audis4** · 12-15-2006, 09:41 PM

italianplayboy, I'm in the same boat as you. I want one on either my upper back or the upper part of my triceps. Not sure what I want either

I agree it hurts quite a lot. It is not intense pain but it is long lasting and unpleasant.

Exactly,

Also never get a tattoo of some girl's name on your body, love is too fragile for that.

Exactly,

I compare it to someone rubbing a hot wire against my skin. The first couple of passes are rough, but when they go over the same spot over and over again, it really gets your attention.

**operation5pm** · 12-16-2006, 07:12 AM

Yah, the outline hurts worse than anything because they're only using one needle instead of a cluster of them, like when they fill. A general rule of thumb: The closer the bone is to the skin, the more i hurts.

good way of putting it

**italianplayboy09** · 12-16-2006, 04:03 PM

whats an estimate of the cost of a tatoo of something written in old english in nice sized letters? i think i might just get my last name, its 8 letters.

**hardgainer12** · 12-16-2006, 04:08 PM

any place around me charges 100-200 per hour.

**italianplayboy09** · 12-16-2006, 04:12 PM

they charge by the hour? didnt know that. so if you had to guess how much do you think it would cost...8 letters, old english style, decent sized?

**BlInDsIdE** · 12-16-2006, 05:03 PM

it really depends on - the artist, the tat ur getting, where ur getting it at, and the complexity of the work or how long it will take

Yep, you pay for what you get. You can get a shop for $50/hr but the work might not be so good. Definitely spend the extra bucks and get it done somewhere reputable. You might want to actually visit the shops in your area and scope em out before you make your appointment.

**italianplayboy09** · 12-16-2006, 08:58 PM

oh i know, ive been thinking of what to get for months now so im definitely taking this very serious

**firmechicano831** · 12-17-2006, 01:05 AM

me too, I might get an Aztec Warrior on my shoulder

I am covered from my waist to my neck. all color and all solid. there is no skin left.
IT ALL ****ING HURT! there is no place on your body ( except my legs) that a tattoo wont hurt. but as we all know, pain= gain
you get it because you love it

**doittoit** · 12-18-2006, 01:18 AM

i just got a tat few weeks ago old english letters on my traps reading
"M A N MADE"....I'm very happy with the placement, show off in a tank, and can easily be hidden.

You named both of your kids BOB?

YES one way it reads one of my son's name and you turn it around and it spells my other son's name, the seceial way of writing is called ambigram,
would you like me post a pic?

**Pac8541** · 12-18-2006, 06:35 AM

Be prepared to become addicted. I've got many and when I get out of the chair to head out the door, I'm already thinking about what I want next. The pain: yeah, it hurts but its a good kind of hurt. I actually enjoy it. Feel its part of the 'journey.'

**Vanmuscle** · 12-18-2006, 06:15 PM

I was just joking about BOB marcus, one of the B's would have to be reversed. I'd love to see a pic of your ambigram.

This is definitely true. I have ones that gow down my whole arm and right on the bones that stick out in your wrists. That part and the elbow hurt the most for sure.
