it might just be the angle, but it doesn't really look even regardless, ouuuch
Your tattoos fit your personality (or what i've seen of it over the years) Gurant. Ace stuff man.
You got 'legalize murder' covered up?
The nipple tattoo is really cool, but I especially like your shoulder piece. Looks great and location is amazing too.
thanks guys! it isn't as uneven as in that photo, but its really not supposed to be even. it's pointy and chaotic. and yeah, got my legalize murder text covered 2 years ago. my mom flipped when she saw it, so i gave her the cover up on her 50th birthday
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/MnkkZsN.jpg[/IMG] My first/only tat. I like it, except the bomb is hairy and you can still see my birthmark.
I've been wanting a Shamrock tat for a while, and I was considering it on my neck, but I recently learned that some people consider neck tattoos to be prison tattoos, and ten minutes ago when I was searching for shamrock tattoos I learned that Aryan people use them too as racist symbols. So basically is it going to look like I'm an ex-con racist if I get it done? I also heard that a lot of parlours won't do neck tattoos because of the prison relation, is that true?
Honestly, in my opinion at least, shamrocks are lame. A neck shamrock would be double lame. There are other more subtle cultural tattoos if that is what you were aiming at. I dunno, your body, your choice. [editline]11th March 2013[/editline] And yes, neck tattoos are generally worn by either toughguys or sailors. I always thought face/hand tats were more prison than neck tats.
I'm no expert on location vs. symbolism but I see a lot of tattoos on the back and/or sides of people's necks, no big deal. Do you mean across the front? That's a lot rarer, but I always assumed that's because it's an awkward/unflattering and probably very painful place to get ink. Nobody will make the shamrock-facism connection either, but as Purply said getting a shamrock is weak in the first place.
neck tattoos look pretty fucking cool when they're on the back or the side also nobody's going to think "oh look neonazi" if you have a shamrock, they're probably going to associate it with ireland if anything
I wanna get a piece on the back of my neck at some point in the future, after I get my wrists done Also girls with tats on the backs of their necks, god it doesn't even matter what it is it's still smoking hot

I've been present in a waiting room to get one of my bigger tattoos finished. During my wait some guy was getting his wife's name tattooed on his penis. My mum was refused because she wanted a tattoo on her finger. That was only because the guy wasn't confident enough though. Nothing to do with his opinion on anything. So even if you was going for a prison tattoo I doubt they would reject the tear drops of whatever.
Does anybody have a septum piercing? I'm wanting to get one done but I've heard a lot about how painful they are and I'm kind of a wimp :v:

[QUOTE=Nekro;39877456]Does anybody have a septum piercing? I'm wanting to get one done but I've heard a lot about how painful they are and I'm kind of a wimp :v:[/QUOTE] Ha! Got mine done a week ago, and to my surprise it wasn't painful at all. I got some anesthesiaspray in my nose, and when the stuff ran down my upper lip, I couldn't feel anything there for a few hours :v: Only felt a little sting, but that was it, really. A far worse feeling is when they pull out the needle and put in the jewellery, which doesn't hurt but feel strange as fuck. But the next four or five days it hurt a lot, especially when cleaning or if I touched it accidentally, always made me tear up, and it still feels strange when I touch the top of my nose, like everything inside is shifting away :v: But since the weekend it is fine, doesn't hurt at all anymore, and if you really want it, go for it, because it's worth the pain. But look for a serious piercer that pierces the right place in your septum. And as promised, a picture: [t]http://i.imgur.com/Lua1JCB.jpg[/t] And because it's always nice to have a full shot... [t]http://i.imgur.com/pnInw4gl.jpg[/t] (that was the only full frontal shot that didn't looked too awful, god I'm unphotogenic as fuck)

And aha yeah, the few days after getting a piercing aren't fun... I have 2 lip piercings (my first piercings), and eating was such a pain :v:

And that was real hardcore stuff, as I said my upper lip was numb for a few hours, but that didn't help with the horrible feeling when they put the jewellery in. I don't know why, but it feels so goddamn disgusting when I touch the tip of my nose, and the first days it hurt aswell, so that made me feel really ill :v: But aside from that, it is really great. It is easy to hide, only the cleaning is a tad diffucult the first few days. With my lip piercing I didn't have any problems at all, that was by far the most uncomplicated of them all.

You could do something mad cool with those.

[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;39885166]I like the septum but combined with the nosering you're a bit cluttered imo[/QUOTE] Thanks for the feedback :) That was one thing I wasn't so sure about. I really wanted the septum, but loosing my nostril piercing was the biggest NO one can imagine, because I can't really imagine myself without it, it's really a part of me. I think I'll get a smaller ring (diameter and thickness), because I'm not a big fan of studs (and in real life the ring is the most invisible of my piercings). But for the next two month I have to live with this constellation, and I don't know if I'm going to stretch the septum to 2mm, we'll see. And for the shirt discussion: That shirt is nearly nine years old, has more holes than a piece of cheese, and it's a great reminder of older days.

When done right it hurts, but it is bearable, and the days after it isn't bad either (as far as I remember). But when it's done wrong, that is the most horrible pain you can imagine. I had mine done two times (the first time it fell out on the weekend, couldn't get the stud back in, and my old (fucking horrible) piercer told me to wait a few days and redo it), and the second time by a total newbie to piercings (but hey, it was cheap back then - never ever do that. NEVER.), and he slipped aways with the pliers and pushed them into my nose, and that was just as bad as getting the piercing done itself. I cried so badly, because I thought the next couple of hours that my nose would fell off straight. Worst thing, it isn't even where I wanted it (wanted it on the "fold" of the nostril, not right on top of it). So when you get it done, go to a professional and good studio, then it propably won't be a big thing.
I like how Tiki took it as a joke, I think, and it was aimed at her Yet all you Saviors of the Internet, somehow took offense? Please. Also yeah a smaller piercing would make it look less cluttered
I sure like how you talk about tattoos and piercings.

My eyes got watery because the piercer didn't give me notice when she did it so I got it by surprise. The amount of people who have told me that my nose piercing suits me its worth getting. And hurry up and stretch your other ear already!!!
