tattoos, how do you feel about them?

[weedguru_animal]

I don't judge people on their tatooes...unless..they expect people to view them through their decision to pour permanent ink into their flesh. For a Mauri...I can play that game and will respect it. For a european, I find such a stance...spastic and pure idiocy/. it is your skin, do with it what you wish, but as I say to vegetarians, 'it adds zero to who you are...it only adds to how people who perceive the superficial, perceive you'.

Well Dan, in the 8 years i was vegetarian, you never said that to me once.

With tattoos, i see your point. As for the vegetarian thing, why do you think people want it to add anything to them? As far as i'm concerned, they're just trying to live life how they want to live their life. Personally, i never seeked recognition for the fact i wouldn't eat an animal in my time as a veggie.

Tattoos on the other hand are for show, for some. For others, they are sentimental.

I've just started my backpiece, which is being dedicated to the great people in history. So far i have MLK jr. Tupac shakur and Mohandas Gandhi all in Banksy style stencils. Soon to come are Che Guevara and, if i can find a facial image, the tank guy from Tiananmen sq. There are so many more to add, but i can't afford them all at the moment.

im pretty sure theres no face picture of tank man... thats why nobody really knows who he is, he just disappeared. Good luck with the rest of that ink though, it sounds epic.

[Weedguru_Fire_Inside]

It's all good man.

Don't think you've lessened yourself in my view. This is surely not the case.

i look forward to seeing the back piece....

it sounds interesting... is there a background image as well?

and i agree that finding an image of the guy from tianamen square event will be very difficult...
you still cant view that video online in china... it NEVER HAPPENED

[Weedguru_Fire_Inside]

Na man, there's no background image, just solid black stencil.

I only had it done 2 weeks ago. It's still itching a little.

I'll post a pic when i can get somebody to take one. It's right in the middle of my shoulderblades so i can't take a decent pic.

I understand why some people get tattoos, but personally (at least at this point in my life) I feel like it's not for me. I don't have anything that I feel the need to 1. have on my body forever and 2. share publicly with the entire world. I feel like, with most things I would get tattooed on myself, they're so personal that I wouldn't want to be broadcasting them to people I don't know.

I'm totally fine with other people getting tattoos-- I've seen people with some really beautiful and meaningful work. I also know someone, though, who would just go to the shop and pick out something random off the wall because they just wanted to get a tattoo done. I don't really like the idea of just picking something random... but in the end, it's your body!

I've been toying with the idea of getting the symbol of Venus circling the navel.

I disavow archetypical brutish machismo in favour of doing and acting as I like, not what I want other people to see me as. To me, the symbol of Venus represents that sort of careless femininity.

^I'm gonna get this tatted, I just gotta figure out what font/size/ and where to put it.

[AbbyRoad]

i like your idea JTP, id just re-think the placement if i were you.

[JTP]

Hell no. I want that thing essentially being an inked happy trail. I have anesthetic drugs.
