I used to want a tattoo, but never got around to getting one. I'm glad too, since I think most tattoos look like crap, especially when people get older. I've never seen an old person with a cool looking tattoo. And when I say old, I don't mean guys like me in their thirties, I'm talking about 65+ years old. Also, these days tons of people regret getting tats and they are paying thousands of dollars to get them removed.
Anyway, the kind of tats I actually sort of like are ones like my friend Devin's. He has the last sentence from The Great Gatsby tattoo'd in some really cool font around his upper arm above the sleeve. It's subtle and cool.
Also, I think it's Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers who has a hug octopus tat on his thigh and down his leg, that one is cool, but guys like him can sport that sorta thing without it being lame, you know the whole skinny rock star thing.
best advice i can give is get something with significant personal meaning
i have 4
my clan crest which is a slight redesign of this

i have my intials in greek letters which is something different to the usual japanese or chinese letters people get...so that's gamma delta...both the upper case and lower case versions (upper case is larger and above the lower case)...it's also a reference to my dedication to the sciences as greek letters are prevalent in alot of calculations...especially gamma and delta
they are as follows

i also have this celtic triskele

they are on my left arm, right arm, left leg and right chest respectively
as long as you don't take a tribal, everyone got that
I wouldn't even consider ever imprinting a picture on my body though (not even piercing anything), I like the thought of being all natural and I'd get bored with any picture easily
You know, that's not such a bad idea. I use it everywhere, and have been for years now, and I think it's awesome. Have actually thought about it before. The only thing that would make it hard is the color scheme. They would have to tattoo a black square then color it in leaving the while bits. Not sure how it would look.
HAHAHA! Love it.
