When I was a kid back in the 80's, they were very much mostly on the elbows of either guys who did bird or white supremacists... I can't get over that really - even though a lot of people I know have had some done in the last few years. a couple of years makes all the difference doesnt it? Your prob a little older than me, and I wasnt exposed to tattoos as a kid. I found my own way into it growing up, and at college a few of the 'renaisance punks' had the webs Youre right I guess, now I think about it, all the guys I know with them are about 5 years+ younger than me Me, Its only ink at the end of the day, rock on! |

I think they are considered more punk than prison these days, by certain age groups at least, I can imagine people who have been into the scene for a few years will still attach the stigma..... When I was a kid back in the 80's, they were very much mostly on the elbows of either guys who did bird or white supremacists... I can't get over that really - even though a lot of people I know have had some done in the last few years. Yeah i know lol But at the end of the day its just a tattoo to me, one ive always wanted so i got it  |

Yeah I know lol But at the end of the day its just a tattoo to me, one ive always wanted so I got it I'm not one to throw a wet blanket on your tattoo caper, trust me I've had more than enough of that over the years. I've lost family, lovers and jobs over mine, but I don't regret a single one of them for a second. I figure they can't have been worth much as a friend/lover/whatever if a little ink disturbs them so much. If you want a tattoo, think long, think hard and just do it. It's your skin, the decision is yours alone, so ignore the haters and you won't regret it. But I will say this... To you, it's a cool tattoo. It may have a significance to you. But you have to be amazingly careful about where and what you get tattoo'd. Some symbols hold large meanings, and you can never control the reactions of people. And some of them really provoke a negative reaction. What you need to ask yourself is: Do I want to spend the rest of my life defending my decision to get this tattoo? Because believe me, every second moron on the face of the earth will feel it's their right to demand answers from you. |

I've never had my tattoos questioned! I work in an office with my sleeves rolled up and they're on show all day.
Tattoo's are becoming more & more acceptable, I'd say theres probably an equal amount of tattooed people : non tattooed people.
The only person who has to live with it is you...

Guys I'm going down the studio thursday to enquire about getting a tatoo done. I have never had one done before and was wondering what something like this would come out like on my forearm:  I want it on the outside edge like a 'cruise' tattoo as it were. Be honest would something like that come out really pants if i had that inked onto skin? I'm guessing the detail just wouldnt be the same and the lines a lot thicker?  |
