Okay, bit of an obvious question, but in one month, I will be 18, yay! I have planned to get a tattoo on my 18th birthday, that way I feel it's special; my first tattoo on the day I'm 18. Anyway, my question is of what?

To let you know & do please read this, I have interests of what I would like, but for my first one, something good but simple so it's not too detailed & give me loads of pain. Small & simple but still good.

In the future, I will get more detailed ones. I like Chinese Dragons, Tigers, Snakes, Lizards, Wolves, other reptiles & mammals etc...

My first I would like would be a Scorpion, for my horoscope Scorpio. It'd be detailed, but it's something I'd like & it's to do with the date I was born, plus it'd be on my birthday I'd get it done. I also like to read them & collect them too.

Video games & anime/manga could be out of the question. I may like them now, but I might go off them so a tattoo could be a mistake. If I continue to like it in 20 years time, sure, then I'll get one.

Get one of Steve Irwin wrestling a Komoto Dragon.

i would say get your zodiac sign, thats a great first tattoo

I'd say get none at all. Tattoos are forever, but your youthful looking skin is not.

is it comprehensible.....

this would be a nice little piece

i have one on my back right hip .. i can show it off now but I know in 40 yrs or whatever it wont look so hot anymore

I thought somone would think I was wierd if I mentioned getting one of Steve Irwin, they'd probably think I was sad or obsessed but I have thought about one of him, but not yet. A Crocodile would be better though.

Yeah, but like I say, you only live once, life is for living & also, I wouldn't like to be a 90 year old woman in a wheelchair saying, "I wish I'd got a tattoo when I was a youngg woman...", lol.

I don't like it when people get names of thier loved ones such as boy/girlfriends. because it might not last but the tattoo remains there forever.

If you are a harry potter fan I would get a deathmark one that the deatheaters have in the book.My twin sister has one on her left arm and it is neat.(Btw it is only painted on)jm

Neither do I- I never said I was getting one like that. It's gonna be of a symbol that has a lot of meaning for me and my life.

I thought you were, sorry. Not a Harry Potter fan either.

Dark Mark! Say it with me- DARK Mark!!!



Yeah... long established HP fan here...

This is rather off topic, but I got my cartilage pierced the day I left for Paris, and I'll always remember it, so it's pretty awesome getting it done the day you turn 18

That's the feeling I want. I can tell everyone that I got my very first tattoo on the very day I became 18, which by law, you're able to get one. The feeling of it is good, but the feeling of that I'm a wimp is haunting me. Yeah, I'm sort of a wimp so this is gonna hurt like the devil! But I want one so much & on that day too, I don't want to think about it! I'm taking my mum with me.

S'okay.




I also got mine pierced as well. For my 17th.

Above the eye looks good, but mum don't like it. Probably won't get one though, not too fussed but nice to have one. Looks painful though, but hey, what the hell does a tattoo feel like? Lol. Well gotta go, bed time. Back tomorrow. Bye now.

No, you'll be a 90 year old woman thinking, "What is this saggy goop suppose to be on my thigh? I can't remeber anymore".

I say a tiki head or the death eater sign. DMB

Nah, I don't want that. I want a tattoo & should get one if I want. It doesn't matter if I don't like it when I'm old. I don't want to be like, "I'm so glad I didn't get a tattoo when I was older", at the age of 90. See what I mean? This is the quote I was ment to say yesterday, not the one about 'glad I got one etc..."

You realise, right, that if you're a 90 year old woman, how the tattoo looks won't be the least of your problems. . . Cuz at bloody 9-0, to hell with the tattoo, YOU'LL be what's looking like something that's crawled out from under a rock.... It won't matter if the tattoo's wrinkled or not, if you catch my drift.

If you're a real man, this is the tattoo you would get...

And you say you don't want to be 90 and thinking, "I'm glad I didn't get a tattoo."

So as I said, I guess you'll be 90 thinking, "What the he!! is this bruise on my knee cap!?!?!?!"
-"Don't you remember honey? That's the tattoo of the butterfly you got when you were 17 years old."
-"Oh.............rrriiiggghhhttttt..........that.............d@mn."
-"It still kind of looks like a butterfly.....that's coming out of a wrinkled cocoon---"
-"Shut up Howard, I know it looks like sh!t"
-"Yeah it does. I'm glad you said it."



is it COMPREHENSIBLE.....

First of all i advice you dont get a tattoo and if your not going to follow that advice, i advice you get a chinese dragon.

It's "ADVISE".

"ADVICE" and "ADVISE" are 2 different words.

"i" should be a captial "I" as so.

An apostrophe should be between the "n" and the "t" in the world "DON'T". Notice that I added it in there.

It should be "YOU'RE" and not "YOUR".

The world "TO" should come after "YOU" and before "GET" right at the end.

Get "Property of Thorinn" on you're ass.

Did you make that mistake just for me?

I can't resist.

It's suppose to be "YOUR" instead of "YOU'RE."

I have nothing against tattoos..the real question is what are you looking for anyway..something innocent or something like a skull with blood all over it ? perhaps you seem to be someone who wants anything involving steve irwin..do note that this is there FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER and so on..but it is your choice..but i think you should get a crocidile perhaps?

Good Night Now.

Attention! Quiet please! Thank you. I've decided to get a Scorpion for my first tattoo which I think would be perfect because it's my horocope & it's to do with my birthday (sort of, within the month anyway) & on that day it'll be more special to have one.

No idea how long it'll take & planning on going for a meal that day. Do you think if I went early to get a tattoo, say be there about 10 am, think I could be enjoying a meal at around 3 pm? I am allowed to be out that day you get a tattoo aren't you, or go home & do nothing & let it heal? It takes about a month to fully heal, but on that day wll be the worst...

Before I get one, I better visit the place & ask what sort of picture to bring with me. Tracing a picture makes a poor tattoo so I think I have to bring a good picture, but on what, just normal paper? Do I print it out or just cut a picture out of a magazine? I have to ask them what to do so I'm ready when I go.

I want it so bad, but I'm a wimp. But because I want it so bad, I'm telling myself yes yes yes, do it! No backing out, I only get this chance to get a tattoo on my 18th; there won't be another chance waiting for me, so I should go for it!

Yeah but who cares? That's going to be then, I'm taking about now. While I'm young & active, I want to live! Life is for living & want to do what I want to. On top of my list - get a tattoo!

I do like Chinese Dragons, they're so cool, but they're also so detailed so a first tattoo wouldn't be ideal...

A Steve Irwin tattoo is also a good choice, I mean it's not like I'm going to forget him or dislike him is it. If I had one of him, it'd be something to keep him alive & to remember him by. This is how I see ia. I'd like him with a Crocodile though, it's what he was most famous for, catching those good ol' Crocs!

You're not seriously considering getting a Steve Irwin tattoo, are you?

Why not? It's a good way to remember him...

hmm

Maybe by his family, not by some complete stranger

No you twit, you called it a death mark, he called it a dark mark...are you blind or just stupid? Wait...it's JM, I have my answer.

Most likely, but I still think getting some dead guy immortalised on your skin is a bit much of a tribute..

Not to mention it would be mildly disturbing during sex, staring at his face while getting it on...

Not really...well not to me. Plus people get tattoos of their family who have died. Okay he's not family but a great guy.

I agree. I think if you were gonna go with a tattoo of someone. You should've gone with this instead...

Why?

Get one of a stingray being shot by a firing squad. OR an otter in a bib

Ugh, no thanks!

Anyway, it is done. I got my tattoo & it's on my lower part of the arm, so I can see when wearing ordinary t-shirts. I have no t-shirts with no sleeves. It's a small Scorpio & I got it on Saturday which was my birthday! It looks awsome.

I plan on getting another soon though. While waiting a boring one hour & a half, looking around the waiting room at tattoos, I fell in love with a wolf. It's howling in the snow & an orange sky. It's beautiful.

While getting my tattoo, man did it hurt or what!! It feels like the needle doesn't move out of the skin & just dragged through my arm. Shading wasn't so bad though, I actaully watched him do that.

Took only about 10-15 minutes though. That's what I waited all that time for & I was 25 minutes late when meeting my friends for a meal. I left about 10 am to get my tattoo, but two people were already there. I was suppose to be there at 10, but mum was late leaving. Probably my fault too though, should have woke her up earlier.

...one that you'll never regret getting.
