I don't know why, but I am thinking of getting one...something small on the upper arm but I haven't a clue as to what to get!
So you Tattooed Terbites out there...what is your tattoo, and where is it...The ladies can answer as well of course.
I haven't begun to look for a tattoo parlour yet...so open to suggestions.
Thx.

My first response is: why? If it is to be "trendy" just remember, trends come and go.

My second response is: make sure that whatever you get, it is something you like. You're going to have it for the rest of your life or suffer through some pretty painful removal treatments.

My last response is: if you DO find something you can live with for the rest of your life, make sure it isn't something cheesy like a snake crawling over a cross or a skull or (like many women do) a rose on their ankle.
 
This is a type of lifestyle not everyone can understand. I've gotten many weird looks with my tats but all means something to me and played a big part in my life. I've been asked why would you get that etc along with weird looks, but thats like me asking you why are you stupid, or why you wear that ugly hat etc. Its a personal choice like everything else and ppl that dont understand it or dont like it should just keep their mouth shut, since it has nothing to do with them anyways.

I agree with tboy, if you're getting it cuz its trendy or cool then i'd be very careful with what you choose if you decide to get it. IMO most times those are the kind of tats you want to get rid of after awhile.
Something thats a part of your life, like a memorial tat, which lot of ppl do, then thats different. Something to think about.
If you decide to do it, i'd def suggest something that means something to you, like your sign or something like that.
 
I hear you Tboy

Thanks for the advice...as I say, not sure why I'm thinking about it these days...but don't think it is because it is trendy. Not even sure if I know if it is an "in thing" now.
You're right about getting something I like...and won't act until I find the right design or image...and have thought about it for a bit. No timetable to do this.
I know it won't be a snake or skull and cross bones...it would scare me everytime I looked in the mirror...Also, don't think it will be my girlfriends name as this would probably upset my wife :D
So, interested in seeing who is tattooed on Terb and what they have, where!

Thanks milhouse...good thoughts. Like the memorial idea...not sure about the zodiac though.
 
I have several of them. It started as one that just kept growing over the years. It is now from my shoulder to almost my elbow covering the better part of the outside of my upper arm.

I started with a Canadian Flag, something I would be proud to wear until the day I die. Over time, I found a few more things that were equally important to me, so I just kept adding. The last one I got was a background to make all of the others mesh together to create one large piece. I still have a few more to get. :D

There are some things that one should consider before having any ink done, and precautions to take as well.

-Is it something I can live with forever
-Can it be hidden for corporate events and such
-Have a good look at the artists other work
-Ensure you see a certificate that the sterilizing machine is in working order and functioning properly
-Be sober when you get it
-Are you willing to take the time to look after it for life. ie: sunscreen, touch ups, etc.

Body and soul, brampton/toronto
 
maybe checkout shows like Miami Ink, that might give you some ideas as for a tat. They get all kinds of ppl wanting to get a tat for different reasons. If you have FB, theres tattoo group that might be helpful in suggestions such as places, after care, ideas etc, even lots of pictures.
Also, lots of shop/artist have websites these days where you can see their art,place etc. That would be worth checking into on deciding who and where you want to get it done.

1 last suggestion. Dont just go in the shop and pick 1 of those designs they have in the books. Definitely something custom, with your own tastes to it. You can use those books for ideas, but at least add or alter it to your own likings/tastes. You dont want the exact same tat that 1000 other people have.

If you're in downtown area, theres tons of tattoo places nowadays i see. Just go in and checkout the shop/designs, give you some ideas.

Thanks...will keep them in mind. Out of the way for me to drop in on though.

Well, since a permanant mark on your body is pretty fricken important, you could "go out of your way" to check the place out lol.

IMO that's like saying: the world's best eye surgeon is in Kansas, or the 10th best is down the street.....who do you pick? THE ONE IN KANSAS!! lol....

As for "taste", while that is subjective, there is such a thing as poor taste, no matter where you live (unless it's a trailer park lol).

I've told this story before here and this is probably why I feel so strongly about getting the "right" image.

I was talking to this chick on Lavalife (before it was online) and we agreed to meet. She was cute. REALLY cute, petite blond, short hair, etc and one of the things she told me about while we were talking was her squirrel tattoo on her chest since her nickname was "squirrel". So all the while I'm thinking: ah, probably a cute little cartoon squirrel like chip and dale etc, it'd probably be sexy.

So we meet at a local casey's and after a while she says "do you want to see my squirrel"?? (lol yeah, the thought did pass through my mind lol) I said "sure". So she was wearing this while dress shirt and undoes a couple of buttons and shows me her squirrel. F ME ALL TO HELL. It looks like one of those wilderness stickers Canadian Tire used to sell and you see them all the time on the back of campers and trailers and stuff. I mean U G L Y and to top it off, the fricken thing took up half her chest and totally covered her left boob (and she had nice little Bs).

I mean, it was like this

http://needdecals.stores.yahoo.net/deer.html (this is a deer but you get the style).

Sorry, she may have thought it "magnificent" but frankly, it was totally in poor taste and I just couldn't get past that fricken squirrel. What a nice body ruined by a hunting decal......

Don't worry about whether or not it is trendy, if you want one, get it. My only advice would be make sure it's tasteful and means something to you...it's gonna be there forvever. I have two; I consider them both tasteful and they both mean something to me.

Sorry dude, I disagree totally. If one is getting ONE because it is "cool" now, that is something to be considered. Put it another way: If a kid showed up from the geek squad to fix your PC and he looked like DJ Qualls and he had "Born to raise hell and Harley Davidson for Ever" and a skull tattooed on his chest, sorry, I don't care who you are that's just dumb.
 
LOL Good story tboy.
Good lesson.

Tattoos can be sexy though. A few weeks ago riding on a plane with a cute colleague...she fell asleep next to me. I glanced over and she was angled such that I had a good look at her bare midriff and slightly below where I could see the outline of a tattoo pointing down to the place where all good men lose their minds...or at least their heads! This damn tattoo, entirely unexpected on this professional woman, has intrigued me ever since.

Last week, hot day, standing waiting for the light on the corner of King and Yonge. Watched a very attractive woman in a sleeveless, brown dress...very short and of a beautiful light, almost gauzy material that swayed when she walked. We both ended up walking in the same direction for a block or two...me, an enjoyable few paces behind. On the back of her left shoulder a beautiful tattoo of a wildflower...rendered in black on her olive tinted skin. Very sexy, very intriguing indeed.

These two tattoos speak, to me, of beautiful women confident of their bodies and who they are...and that, I find sexy! Not sure that a massive tattoo like Carly (?) on American Idol would do it for me the same way. It was the subtlety of the design and perhaps the placement that did it.

Not sure at all that a tattoo on my hairy arm would have the same affect on women...but that probably isn't the reason I'm contemplating doing this.
 
Let me guess tboy has no tattoos:rolleyes:

Shades others have mentioned it, "meaning to you" is the key. I did not get my first one until I turned 40 and have not looked back, death of parents, my kids, my hobbies have all been inspirational in the designs I have.
I suggest not going to a shop looking through there books as its boring for the artist, they are creative, come up with an idea and discuss it with the artist a good artist will expand on your idea

good luck Shades and yes they are addictive
 
you should always know what you want to get before you know where you want to get it. if you just want a tattoo for the sake of having one maybe you shouldn't get one.
 
I have two....
Two big mistakes...
Cool now....then you grow up..
I hate them both...
Don't do it.....

Thanks for sharing. Is it the design of the tattoo that you regret, or is it being tattooed that now bothers you? Have you found the fact that you are tattooed a problem in your working/social life?
