What's the coolest tattoo you've ever seen?
 

I wanna get some and I need ideas, but I don't believe in anything, so I don't know what I should get.

I'm the type that I'll get one and 2 years later I'll hate it.

Saw a cool one in a movie the other day.

Simple text on the chest above the nipple that says:
A TATOO

Hotlinking is fun.

Hahaha :1orglaugh

that rocks so hard! :1orglaugh

Go to New York and get Paul Booth to hit you...he does the coolest shit.

www.darkimages.com

try to get something original. I won't get anything i didn't have some part in making myself.

Fucking right! Paul for spooky and Guy in Chicago if you want color.

Booth is the fucking man!

If it didnt conflict so bad with my current sleave, I would be down getting this done to both arms without hesistation.

If I would have seen this before I went down to get the one I ended up getting... god damnit.

My right leg is similar to that...more tribal than celtic though.

I met Paul for the 3rd time here in Toronto at the Tattoo convention about a month ago.....I sat for 7 hours getting a Phoenix and he came over to where I was getting tattoo'd to talk to the guy ( Makoto) hitting me.. really normal sounding guy considering his work.

Booth rocks..... my left arm, elbow to wrist is sleeved in Booth... :thumbsup

A giant $100 bill across the back. It's something that will never go out of style...:Graucho

Damn, no shit?

I hear he has a waiting list up to a year long recently.

beats me.... this shit I got is several years old now.....

:cool-as-a Kick ass! :thumbsup

easiest way to get tattoo'd by him now is go to a convention where he is working and pay for his seminar...at the conventions he only Tattoo's people that have been in his seminars....and it is the only chance you'll get to talk to him person to person.

I think my dick would go limp If I pulled off a girls panties and saw that.

My friend Jenny has flames coming from her crotch, I have a pic here somewhere, just gotta find it

embedded sounds make me mad

Coolest tat I ever saw was on the nape of a Japanese strippers neck. It was made to resemble a shirt tag. It said " Made In Japan"

me too
can't stand them, it always ruins a thread

I could recommend a fabulous tattooist in the UK (Dave Ross) but not necessarily designs. You might try something tribalish (although it doesn't need to mean anything) or chinese symbols/dragons for something more colourful.

I shouldn't really talk about design though; I've only got one tattoo and its only a small Disney's Piglet. In that light I suppose you should pick something that means a lot to you. Piglet will prolly look sad and silly in 20 years but it will always mean something to me.

:2 cents:

Even worse since it is in the rules to not embed sounds...

I dont like the demons but I really like that sleeve that Labret posted.

What happens if you get a colored tattoo, do they fade after a while? I just know I see old guys with lots of shitty tattoos that are all dark green and faded and look like hell.

Paul Booth is the dogs bollocks. Must fly out one day and get some work done by him.

As for designs...just pick something that means something for you. Don't look on it so much as a tattoo but more as art and pick some artwork that you like and that means something. Then find a tattooist capable of doing it. If they have loads of flash books and no/few pics of actual tattoos then go elsewhere. A talented artist will have a lot of examples of completed work.

The exception is as the other half pointed out - tribal stuff. Even then it's more fun to get a book on real Samoan or Celtic art and get a design from there.

They all fade a little and some colours more so than others. Generally the brighter the colour the quicker it'll fade ie white and yellow fade quickest. However it depends on your skin (some skin takes pigment far better than others) and how much sun as sun is a killer for colour.

Even so you can always get it redone when it does fade.

Not sure it's the coolest I know but my favourite is by Ian of Reading on a guy called Hamish.

http://www.fleshwound.co.nz/html/hamish.html - it's his monkey backpiece.

There was also a thread about piercing. For those going ouch in it this guys story will really make you squirm.

dare i ask.... why get a tattoo at all?

would you want it and what would it look like at 60? at 80?

/me knows of young twink - aka 18 years old - with a tattoo of Calvin on his.....

i kept thinking... when you're getting fucked at 50..who the hell's going to even know who Calvin was?

/me thinks the human body is just fine 'as is'

nevermind.

Exactly it. Tattoos needn't look faded and crappy. Even rubbish done 30 years ago can be covered easily by a talented artist.

All I have to say is.. OUCH!

I would have a fullbody suit if it didnt hurt so damn bad at times.

Yeah, you heard me... at times that shit hurt... BAD. Im no bitch! heh

I couldnt imagine getting inner thigh done.

My elbow hurt me the most. And the inside crotch of the elbow, what my tattoo guy calls "the pits", it fucking killed. Swoll up huge, ended up bruising pretty good in that area.

How was the neck amp compared to say inside arm?

I have been debating lower front part of neck (slightly below neckline) or back of neck.

dev null or something geek.

OK jesse james :winkwink:

he does have my vote for the baddest tats I have ever seen.

I had a 4 hour session on the ribs at my side and that had to be the worst to date. Towards the end I was biting a towel and succeeding on pulling some of my hair out (not that I have much to spare). Fuck, I hate pain. Keep going back though.

inside of the arm, wrist, and back of the leg were all cake....

the neck was a whole new level of Hell bro..... worst pain ever.

my neck shot was two hours.....
