Tattoos, Body Art, Body Piercings, Body Modification Thread

[noheartx]

I don't mean to come and be a party pooper, but since this is discussion, I guess I should discuss.

I'm pretty seriously repulsed by piercings, tattoos, etc. Something about modifying the human body just really, really... I guess creeps me out? Like, I don't actively feel creeped out when looking at someone with a tattoo, or anything. That's more... general dislike. I guess, I probably subconsciously find myself creeped out by it? I've never really given it a lot of thought.



Oh, on a related topic, I think a member of my family from some time back got a full body tattoo, and devoted his skin to something or other. I think it's in a museum somewhere, but I honestly have no clue.

So... what do you guys think about people like that? Who donate tattooed skin, and such.

thats pretty diddlying cool imo. like, idk why, but diddlying donating your skin sounds badass.

I have a tattoo of a dead baby on my left arm! It wasn't worth it...The model I used was irregular so the shape is off. Haven't gotten a tattoo since.

Gosh darn Weaboo's D:<

I plan on eventually getting a tattoo that pays tribute to everyone who has been affected by cancer in my family (i.e a lot), though I don't know what it will look like as of yet. Either some form of symbolism, or a list of names of the victims.

Then, I may also get a tattoo of Garrus Vakarian of mass effect on the back of my thigh. Along with the words, "Eternal Bromance" underneath. Though it all matters how drunk I am at the time. The design would most likely look like this. I also plan on getting a tramp stamp of the FSM, or whatever I believe at the time, and maybe a wrist band tat too. Unless it makes me look like a douche.

I've thought about getting a tat before.
Me and a bunch of others at one time all promised that we'd all get a Pokemon tat one day.
I've thought of getting a KH themed one, because the series has been such a huge part of life.
Probably will never get a tat though.

As for my opinions on them, I think it really depends on whether you want it to be on your life. (Even if can be removed, they're still permanent cause they don't go away over time). Also, what the tat is of really, really depends on the persons physical appearance and attitude. Sometimes, they just seem so out of place on the person, and sometimes they really fit.

My friend got a tattoo of kid Goku on his arm and I liked that. I like most tattoos I see, I find them really interesting. I don't even mind if ppl have them all over.

My other friend got snakebite piercings and it took me a while but they grew on me. Piercings don't usually bother me unless a person has a ridiculous amount of them on their face, or if they have corset piercings or if they have tongue piercings. But I love it when ppl have a lot on their ears for some reason. But I don't like it when guys have plug earrings....sometimes it's okay but most times it's not.

I only have two piercings, one in each ear. I don't have tattoos and don't plan on getting any. I have a very very VERY low tolerance for pain....

That's.... probably the most disturbing thing I've ever heard. D: Taking a picture is all fine and dandy but... ew.

Personally, if I got a tattoo it would be ONE. And it would represent the triumph of something I've overcome. I've had 6 piercings on my ears but they've pretty much all closed up and I haven't had the urge to re pierce them.

On other people? Piercings are usually fine, though some like Monroe's or Inverted Monroe's, even Anchors... I really don't like those ones. And tattoos on other people can be really nice or really unattractive. I tend to prefer simple things, and I don't think I'd date someone who was covered in them.

I got a couple tattoos. One of them has a significance to me, but that dont mean they all have to. Nothing wrong with getting a tattoo just 'cause it looks nice. As long as it does look nice though. And not something like...




I also dont find the appeal of huge tattoos with lots of different colors. Minimalistic ones are easier on the eyes.

I plan on getting a few more later on when I got money, but nothing big.

That pic reminds me of a guy at my university who has mario game designed arm and leg sleeves. Shit sounds cool but looks horrible

Lots of tattos sound like nice ideas on paper, but end up looking anal.

Anyone here have pictures of their tattoos?

Anyway, as for me, I'll be getting two tattoos the coming Saturday. One line on each bicep at approximately sleeve height, in Pulsian script (see: Final Fantasy XIII) which make relevance to my own life. Something that I want to live by now is creating my future with my right arm as my left bares my past, which in turn is why my tattoo(s) of choice is/are on the right arm "While reaching for the future", and on the left "We sometimes fall into the past".

Me being astronomy-obssessed I might get tattoos representing the stars that make up the constellation Orion. The biggest star will be the biggest tattoo, and so forth down the sizes, but I don't think I could get them to scale - I'd also have them reflective of the star's actual colours/appearance. If I do get those tattoos, at the very least I'd get the two of the shoulders and three of the belt. Don't know how a tattoo would feel or look on the back of my neck or near my knees.

the only tattoos i am seriously considering are a deathly hallows symbol tattoo (i dont wanna go into how much i love harry potter), or this:



which is the sag zodiac sign. i would LOVE to get either one on the skin between my thumb and index finger, but there's that whole bit about being a professional and not having something you can't cover up. so i'm pretty much at a dead end.

It'd be refreshing to see a constellation which isn't the southern cross. Man I hate those tattoos.

I'm not opposed to the idea of getting a tattoo myself; I just haven't given it much thought. If I do get one, it'll probably be something simple -- covering my right deltoid, max. I'll mull over design details later, but I'll really like tribal tattoos. They're clean and elegant.

That tattoo is freaking sweet looking. It just needs something to transition into his back....it feels weird that it just cuts off at the shoulder.

I've definitely got a "to each their own" attitude, and it's not hard for me to find much of it attractive, at least in moderation. I actually have a couple tattoos, myself:
