I'm 32 years old, a Financial Advisor, a father, and a husband.
Can some one please explain this overwhelming desire to get a Tattoo fo the first time in my life?
And does anyone know where I can view pics of tattoos to get some ideas?
-
I think you're turning gay.
-
Not everyone is like you funked ;)
I think its a sign of failing masculinity and the subconcious urges to recover it:
First tattoos..
then viagra...
then rubbers with support beams...
see the light at the end of the tunnel buddy!
-
I know someone that got a hand showing the Peace Sign tattooed on their right arm at 24. Let's just say its a high five now.:eek:
-
just search at google.nl then typ tattoos :)
-
Hmmm...a bit young to have a mid-life crisis, but the sysmptoms are there;)
You are a financial advisor...if you get one make sure your clients can't see it. Don't go getting one on your neck or anything.
What are your wife's feelings on the subject?
I like the Celtic bands personally...but everyone and their sister has one now so it isn't exactly original.
-
Muck;
Been following your posts recently. You seem educated, bright and articulate. I've come to respect your point of view.
Don't go disappointing me now and getting a tatoo!!
-
If you want to be an individual, the best thing you can do is not have a tattoo.

nuttin' wrong with tatoos.. as long as you're not the illustrated man or anything.. you know.. the whole-body tatoo thing.
--
well yeah.. Ozzy would know about being original..
but he still has tatoos :)
-
But then he'd know all about it then. :)
-
have 'Made in U.S.A.' tattoo'ed around your belly button :)
-
You really think it's a Mind-life crisis, Curv? Whats the other symptoms?
I was thinking about getting an armband where they could make it so the design would be from my daughters name.
Many things change in life, but a fathers love for his daughter is constant. (Notice how I would not consider getting my wife's name)
I agree that it cannot be seen, so it would have to be subtle, and easily concealed by a business suit.
Syz, you are very kind.
Dowding may be right, though. It may be more original NOT to get one.
How long do I have until I reach "Viagra" stage BTW? :D
-
Muck...I'm not sure bud...just a thought. But, tatoos are a vanity thing for the most part...to look tough, or to look cool..and not for the benefit of other guys...for the benefit of women, especially as they are so popular these days.
Other symptoms include:
The need to have a new sports car.
Consideration of cosmetic surgery.
NOT considering your wife's name for a tatoo. ;)
I like the arm band idea re your daughter btw.
It would be almost impossible for me to hide tatoos from my clients. Part of the schmoosing we do is to take clients swimming, diving, jet-skiing etc. I'd have to put any tatoo in a totally inconspicuous spot on my body...which only my wife would see....thereby defeating the whole purpose of a tatoo.
:D
-
Muckmaw, if you have an overwhelming desire to get a tattoo, you must have one in mind. What might that be?
Please tell me it isn't a dagger on your lower leg or arabic writing accross the small of your back, or a pair of blue birds on your pectoral?
I've got a jail-house type tattoo from my childhood that I've probably spent 100,000 cubic feet of air in explanations to people when my shirt sleeve rides up too far. I hope you don't have to do that...
-
NOT considering your wife's name for a tatoo.
lmao!!!
-
Spend the money on a sports car instead. More people will enjoy it and when you're tired of it you can get cash out of it.
-
I just bought the sports car in January.....
*sigh*
I'm doomed.

Muck it wasn't a Porsche was it???

I'm 42 and have 3. All of them about 20 years old. It is definitely one of those "Seemed like a good idea at the time" things. Wait and see what that thing is gonna look like in 20 years. Color faded away in to a blurred mess that people HAVE to ask what it is. Placement is crucial as well, never being able to wear a short sleeve shirt at work again has it's down side. And make sure you put your girlfriend's name on there somewhere,too. That one never backfires!

I read that tattoos are a leading cause of getting your leg ripped off by an Eldorado.

If funked thinks you're turning gay... there's two things to remember:
1) You are most likely turning gay.
2) Don't return funked's phonecalls.

HOW DARE YOU!!!
You're the one who deep throated the kielbasa at dinner!

Just don't go out drinking before you get one. You don't want to wake up with something you can't sneak away from.

Golly-geeit MUCK...
THERE SHOUDL BE nO QUESTION OF THE TATOO...fkn caps lok..
"BiGB is BAd ASSSSSS"
Or..."I have been saved by BiGB"
or.." If you find me dead..send my money to BiGB"
or.." You dont like America?... Let me get ny Bulldozer Keys"
Me myself..my body is a virgin still..But i have many friends with tattoos..And 2 goo dfriends who are actaully "tatto Artists" they are bad assss artists and have inked many many people..
when we were al i our teens..it used to be a huge drinking and drug fest..these guys had walkman motors with guitar strings for tat guns..oh my god..so many young men and women were scarred by too deep of needles/drunkn art tactics..funny as hell to see some of these guys now..Ink blobs on there backs /arms legs..
I have never saw or thought of one that i wanted on my body..but i do envision a Tribute to ww2 avaition airmen..
I want bombs with a Grim Reaper riding one down..
but Muck again..im thinking somthing with me is you rbest bet..:D
-
The closest to chaps I've come to date was running around the house in my G-Pants.
Yes, I had the flight suit on underneath....
The first time anyway.
-
Now if I was actually in the military, I would have gotten my squad emblem done, or something.
I never wear short sleeves so I can get away with an armband.
And now that BGB thinks it's a good idea....forget it. :D

Dowding likes tatoos......
I have numerous tatoos. My right arm is about "sleeved". My left forearm is covered. My legs below my Knees are about covered. On my neck I have the tree of life on the back and 2 ravens under each ear.
My left arm above on my wrist I have a ghostly image that originally on an album from the band "Black Market Babies" above that I have "Pinhead" ( avatar). The back of my legs I have words. I have a gGrim reaper on my lower right leg that goes from my ankle to my knee.
Numerous other stuff.
But my best friend from High school is a tatoo artist so I didnt pay for umm.
My younger brother is wrapped in ink. When he was 13 my buddy put a badass executioner on his upper right arm.
You lived 32 years with out umm theres no need to start now. Once you get 1 and realize "hey that wasnt too bad I think I'll get another".
-
that picture right there is enough to keep me from getting one !
-
Hiya's,
Personally i wouldn't have one done (just my opinion)
I had 6 when i was 16-18
I ended up having 4 removed with new laser technology
Cost me like £50 for the 4 removed tats and laser treatment cost almost 1k
Wish i had spare cash to remove last tats
And before anyone asks tat pain outa 100 is say 25 laser removal =100 outa 100 for pain and 100 outa 100 for cost lol

I have a jail-house type tattoo on the top of my left wrist that I have been self-conscious of for 25 years. When I put it there I thought that if I placed it in that specific location it would not show when I wore my wristwatch. A moment of lucidity during a period of drunken debauchery in Naples, Italy (on liberty).
I have never owned a wristwatch . Seemed to make sense at the time tho.
I would like to have it removed.
-
good info from all..
now how about a little poll?
how many of you, that have tatoos:
A) like them and are glad they got them
or
B) wish they'd have never gotten a single one
-
Hiya's,
B for certain
-
then rubbers with support beams...
You learn something new everyday... can Ripsnort confirm this exists ? :D
-
yo muck, what's your daughter's name, I'll draw you an arm band and see what you think.
-
"I read that tattoos are a leading cause of getting your leg ripped off by an Eldorado."
Ya know.... now that I thnk about it... you are right funked..
with tatoos.... you are never naked.
In the past... some explanations were needed for anything but a unicorn and peace sign when the clothes started coming off for the first time with that new girlfriend but... these days 14 year old girls have em (tatoos)...
still... flaming SS daggers and women chained to posts and stuff still are cause for explanation.... ancient Harley tatoos sorta stand out too.

Tattoos are ok, I would not do any names But think long & hard about doing it, as once you do it, you can't "wash" it off,
I have 3, one on left forearm (tiger) right shoulder (eagle)

Tattoo ... Bruce Dern and Maude Adams ... Nuff said.

IMO you're going about it backwards.
it's like a person who decides they want to be married and then goes and looks for someone to marry. they will never be happy with what they end up with.
I kicked around the tat idea when I was younger and came up with this idea- when I found a design I like I'll wait 1 year, if after a year I still want it. then I'll get it done. not jsut still wanting a tat but still wanting that particular tat, unchanged for at least a year.
now it's 20 years later and I've still got no tats. I look back at all the designs I considered and was sure I wanted (probably dozens), and I am damn glad I didn't get any of them. I'd stilll be stuck with designs that I ended up being sick of in less than a year.
or you could always do what my little brother did. get your girlfriends name in 2" letters across your chest 3 weeks before you break up with her. that way every time you're with another girl she can have something to read.
-
I am gonna get my avatar tatooed in on my left arm. Maybe, but probably not.
Right one'll have another, so it's occupied :D. Maybe, but probably not.
'What about the future, if you regret it?'. Bah, the assumption being that there is a future. Might die tomorrow. Who cares, anyway? :D
Go for it d00d. If you live to regret it; then have it as reminder and be grateful that you've made it that far :D
-
Muck,
Be pratical, get one with your blood type and social security number just below your underarm.
-
apathy... that's a great idea.. prolly why I still don't have one either..
I remember at one (dumb ass) point in my young life I wanted a dragon tatood on my fargin hand..
yeah.. those were well thought out plans

Body Modification (http://www.bmezine.com/)
some pretty radical stuff in there, but I like the tattoo section

Yeah have you recently got yer arse whipped or failed to get it up

Wait I did consider getting a tattoo once, I was gonna spell "self rising" in one inch block letters on my weenie. My babe talked me out of it tho... :D

That picture you posted~~ which one is you?
-
That would be really cool of you to draw an armband of my daughters name.
Her name is Amanda.
Thanks.
Right now, according to the polls, I'm 40% for it, 60% against, but if your design is cool, I might do it.
Thanks again.
-
ya think you getting a tattoo to show your love for your daughter will influence her to get one?
I see a tattoo on a guy I think one think, see one on a lady, I think another .... neither is complimentary.

Eagler prefer his choir boys innocent little virgin lambs :D

Muck,
Make damn sure you really want a tattoo. Talk it over with your wife, because if it's private, then she will only see it. Remember too, if ya hate it later, regardless of how good the laser specialist is, they can not make it look like normal skin, especially with some of the deeper colors. I made a mistake at 20, and I thought about it for a year before I did it. Now I am 30 and am in the process of going in again to another skin specialist to see if they can graft something there that may look less like a big scar.

Alrighty, then. I am officially scared toejamless. Thank you. SKIN GRAFT??!!!???
Also, what Eagler said made up my mind. I don't like women with tatoos, and when my daughter grows up and sees me with one, especially with her name, she'll get one.
Alright, it's official. I'm out of this idea.
Thanks for all the input.
No tattoo for Muck.
<> to all!

>>No tattoo for Muck.
You big sissy!

Muck Please do not do anything to disfigure your body. My dad who lived to 92. a very bright man not a formally educated one but wise, regretted nothing in his life except his tatoo. Wow Ted:rolleyes:to be very sorry for
intransitive senses : to experience regret
