Here's a picture:

I have totally contemplated getting this exact same tattoo for nearly the same reasons. Looks great!!

Thanks! The design does lend itself very well for a tattoo, I will say. The artist who did it is also very good - she actually did both of my tattoos, and I'm incredibly happy with them.

Good for you for taking the time to really consider what you want. I believe tattoos should have meaning to the wearer. My brother recently got one of a skull with an eye in the empty cranial area. While it is very cool-looking, I asked him what was the meaning? Why is it special? He couldn't answer. Now he's stuck with this tat he got at 19, possibly on a whim, forever.

My first tat is a cross made out of roses. Might sound like any old flash you'd see on the walls of your local tattoo parlor, but the artist designed it for me based on my idea & sketchs. I'm sure there's others similar to mine out there, but regardless, I consider it very special & meaningful to me. Um, pic should be attached to this post.

most tattoos i see are boring.

i'm thinking of getting one of george jefferson riding an armor plated giraffe battling the disembodied head of robert e lee in space.

And it would be the most awesome tat ever.

I just got myself these bad boys today:



And whilst i'm at it, might as well stick up all me other tatts!

Are non-permanent tattoos aloud here?

Edit: They are done by others by ink/pen so they are not those phony ones that you just stick on...

[GK Punk]

Of course! Stick em up!

And cheers for the compliments. The colours in the swallows will fade a bit when they start to scab over, but should still stay pretty bright. I'm pretty chuffed with them.

I'm already planning my next one(s) - i've got a few different designs in mind. Just gotta narrow them down and choose where to place them. Oh, and save up the cash for em!

[Koi]

Here are some.

[discordiatookie]

Wow, that koi is lovely! And is very similar to what I have in mind for a future tatt. Which is a golden carp, in bluey green water, with some of they flowers in pink floating in it. Similar to your one there, but alot bigger, it will take up my arm from the elbow to the wrist.

That ain't my arm, but I made it. Thanks for the complement.

With art like that, and a bit more practice, I could easily see you becoming a tattoo artist!

I can't wait to see mine either, but its just an idea at the moment - I gotta save up money. Hopefully be late this year, into next year before I get it started...

[Loco]
