Alrighty, there are a couple threads on here talking about tats that we as members have. This is for the awesome ones we have seen. Descriptions, links to sites where you can find ideas for good ink, random pics of tats we have run across that caught our eyes, etc.

Enjoy!

Of course it's going to be better when some stupid white honkey asswhole attempts to do something he/she clearly does not understand. His tat says "peace" or "Wa".

Look at this masterpiece of mistakes:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/buddhaboyjp/Asian_Tattoos.jpg

How can anything be more stupid than marking your body with some symbol you have no idea as to what it means?? And done by someone who does not even represent the culture in any manner??

Compare this one done beautifully.....it says "love" or "Ai":

And of course we always have the Asian ladies sporting Asian designs:

The above ones??

The left says "Shin Bi" or "Kami Utsukushi" meaning "Beauty God" or "God of Beauty" depending if I read it up to down.

The right says.....hmmm.........I have no idea, it's that bad.

There are many styles of scripts used in Shodo or calligraphy and not just one style. The middle one is quite simple, nothing fancy, but the strokes were done very well, if it had been a brush, which it wasn't.

My largest one is on my back. I never see it unless I take great effort to.
Almost no one else gets to see it either, in fact only 3 people have ever seen it since I got it ... ( pics not included)

Personal and private are perfectly acceptable reasons to get a tat.

I totally agree with you.
What a tattoo means personally should be the most important aspect. Otherwise you just get a tattoo to get one.
I don't need to explain to anyone what my tattoos mean. It is my skin and my decision.

Tats are for people who grew up in dysfunctional families.

Tats are for people who are attention seekers.

Tats are for people who are trend followers and most likely, lack originality.

Tats are for people who cannot express themselves in conversation and mouth the words to picture books.

Tats are for people who think that they are 'cool'.

Non-Americans and non-honkeys with cultural purposes are excused from the list.

Todays use has nothing to do with culture unless you want to include the consumer mentality culture that precedes most Western countries, Hong Kong and the silly kids in Japan.

So, by the ironically condescending tone of your post, you believe you are justified in your fucking stupid and unintelligible use of "shit" and "fuck" in one of the worst expressions of shock I've ever witnessed in a forum and been annoyed enough to comment on?
Also, because I called you out on your complete dumbfuckery I somehow became king and someone had to die to anoint me king? Inferiority complex?

I'm usually more light hearted about how I post here than most; I try to keep my relationships with other members on the "agreeable" end of the spectrum, and I reserve my flames for another site, but when the modus operandi of the site is "leave your stupidity at the door" do be sure and pay attention next time instead of increasing the font to attention whore level and repeating "shit, shit, shit" as if it meant something other than "I'm a fucknut that doesn't quite understand how to express myself."

Stop representing yourself as the retarded runoff from fuckyou.com and start posting like you have more than a moronic vacuum between your ears. But kudos to your last post. It was succinct and had a clear point. More of that, less of this---vvv

There is one thing that I would like to add, positively about tats.

That bar code embedded into the skin as bible thumpers like to relate as the coming of the anti-christ, or whatever nonsense, is can be used in another way.......the tattoo.

I'm thinking that tats, being personal, creative and artistic, can be put to practical purposes. The ink can be mixed with a metal of sorts and infused with the wearers identity, packed with information. Maybe a chip inserted within.

It can be used as a credit card, debit card and a source of personal information as I already mentioned.

Hitler agrees. Sort them with tattoos :)

3507 <-- your new number
My sorting tattoo number would be 1337.

No joke dude.

Either that or 80085 because it looks funny on calculators.

No. Simply because it carries the tag "abstract" doesn't make it good.

O'keefe - abstract. Absolutely beautiful. And she didn't have to resort to inviting the miniatures in her family to do it for her.

The Alaska Zoo used to have an elephant that they would give a paintbrush to. She slopped stuff onto a canvas. It was fun to watch. They sold the "artwork". Abstract FOR SURE.
