Tattoos...

[Videl]

Alright, guys. Here's the deal... I'm getting ready to get my second tattoo and I've come across a slight problem. This is the final piece of body art I'm getting aside from getting my tongue pierced before I go to the beach for spring break. Now to the problem..

What the hell do I want to get?

I've narrowed it down to two choices and I already know where on my body I'm having it put but I want your opinions. Which one should I get?


Star w/ swirly tribal

or

four-leaf clover


Any input is greatly appreciated, but let's not turn this into a tattoo bashing thread. Let's stay civil here people! ^-^ Anyways... Discuss.

Well... since I hate tribals (and kanji) because most people have no idea what it means and because it can look painfully stupid, I'd suggest the clover, but I hate that, too.

Honestly, my real, true opinion is that you get neither and select something else. I don't say this to be a prick, but this -is- something that'll stick with you forever, so I feel the point is valid. However, it obviously boils down to the fact that -you- like those two choices, and in that regard, I think the star looks a lot better, but, like I said, I hate tribals.

[Videl]

Well, with my first tattoo, I chose it because it had a meaning for me. Butterflies symbolize change and metamorphesis and I've gone through so many things in my life that it fit with me. I had changed from an innocent and naive little girl and into a woman getting ready to move out into the world and make a name for herself.

The one I plan on getting is no different from that one. These two choices have meaning for me but I'm interested to see what you think I should get if you have any suggestions, Bra. =)

[Bra]

Well, yeah. I meant in no way to ridicule your choices; I realize that tattoos are important to those who decide to wear them. It's better you have some tangible reason to put them on then just because they look cool. Just figured I'd offer my opinion, is all.

I'm afraid I probably won't have any good suggestions, though. I have no tattoos and I'm not in 'the know' as far as body art and stuff goes.

EDIT: Isn't that a three-leafed clover?

[Orion]

Well, you should pick the one you think has the most meaning. Whenever someone's presented with a choice, there is always one that they want a little more than the other, but won't admit it unless forced to pick.

[Bra]

This'd be pretty badass.



Skull and camshafts, yo.

Did anyone else read that as 'big tits'?

If I had to force my opinion on you, I'd say don't use the tribal. SO MANY PEOPLE have it and I don't really see it holding any meaning anymore. Of course, if it does for you, then by all means.

I don't think you ever knew =\

[Metal Teemer]

Shhhhh. Don't tell.

Well, I'm trying to stay away from the tribal stuff anyways. I just kind of liked the siwrly effect around the star. See, the star is more for my 11 year old niece, Lilliana, because she LOVES stars and I absolutly love my neice to pieces. I kind of want to get something for her 'cause she's basically my little girl since I've pretty much helped raise her. To add to that, she picked that one out herself. So I'm more inclined to that one...

The clover/shamrock, however, is because I'm part Irish and my nickname around school and with friends is "Lucky" for various reasons. I've always had a thing for clovers, too. *shrugs* I don't know. They both have meaning for me but I'm just not sure...

As for chicks having tattoos on their lower backs -- that's where my first one is. You've all already seen it so I refrain from showing the pic. I'm thinking about getting this one along my right hipbone ('cause i have damn nice hipbones if I might say so myself. They're fecking sexay.)

Most important is that if you take a tattoo, you take one with a good reason for yourself.

Secondly, you should decide a good place for it on your body. The best is just out or in of sight. Like at the side of your upper breast around the belt of your pants. Please dont put it on the side of your upper arm.. Thats too normal D: As you say, on your hipbone sounds good.

About the tattoo's themselves. The first one, with the stars and twirls, I really like because of the shape. I cant really call it a tribal, but thats maybe cause I got a different ideas with tribals. The second one is cool too, especially if your nickname is lucky.

My own oppinion is that greyscale tattoo's are prettier though. So I wouldnt color it. Plus, you don't have to always match the color of your clothes with your tattoo.. (You're a girl after all Dont tell me you wouldnt do this. XD)

"Clova. Clova. Clova!"

[Super Buu]

Psh, tattoos are for wusses. I say go full on, put a spear through your head!

But really it sounds like the clover is the best option. The other just seems to be more like 'oo swirly star'

[Toshiro]

Go with the one you prefer pet. I like the star better then the clover, not a big fan of those.

And personally, I'll aim on getting a dragon chain running up and down my arms when I get the money.

[Burter Jr]

I have a tattoo on my back. Says my name.

[Burter Jr]

My actual name.

[Kami]

Thats cause he has a badass name.

[Minoshia]

I have a clover in a black circle on the back of neck. And it has the sentence "Ireland is home forever." In Gaelic. I got it before i came to America. My good luck charm. But a clover is very symbolic for me, that's why i have it. Whichever means more to you. I also have a Celtic cross on the top of my back, spreading from one shoulder blade to the other, almost touching my actual shoulders. but like i said that stuff is symbolic to me, as it reminds me of home, since i got it there.
