Question about a tatoo
 

OK, so I'm thinking about getting a tatoo. I'm a little sketched out about it, mainly for when I'm older and people thinking you're trashy. Yet, I've already had a drawing of what I want.


My question is this....what do you think would look better?


On my back, towards the top, I would get " All eyes on me". Right above that I would have either a pair of Tiger eyes that have some sort of gold color in them OR I would a pair of Lizzard eyes with the same color.


OR I would get a 100$ bill on my right bicep/tricep.



I'm just a little sketched because an ex of mine, who I dated for a long time, had a pixie on her lower back ( I had fun with that one )
and now she's since had it removed. It hurt, it still isn't gone all the way and she still has more appointments to get it removed. Another words it's a pain in the a$$ for her now.

personally, i wouldn't hook up with a guy with either of those.... they're uhhhh.... sketchy.....

but of the two, go with the tiger eyes. i think arms usually aren't a good idea for when you get older...

Yeah, I agree.

If you get a tatoo, get something that is very personal that might have a story to go behind it. Remember this is something you'll have forever. That's just my opinion.

A few questions.....

1. Are you white?

and

2. You wouldn't hook up because you'd think he's had too much pu$$y or is it because they might seem a little ghetto?

Both are personal......they fit my lifestyle.



Gimme some suggestions....the people in the tatoo parlor are a little out there. My boys all think I should get something like posted here.....one suggested a superman logo. One suggested I get the 100$ bill below my stomach for chicks to see when they're...ummm...* down there*.....something about how they love to blow money. We also thought about getting "Friends for Life" tatooed in German.

Yea Tupac!


Hundred dolla bills ya'll!

I understand that, but lifestyles can change.
I like the "Friends for life" in German idea. It's something people will ask about and you could tell them or make something up. I don't know what your family nationality is, but you could do something like a celtic cross, or something representing irish heritage, or whatever (you get the idea).

My exfiancee had three chineese symbols down one arm. They represented Hate, Love, Sadness (ex girlfriend, me, ex girlfriend). The other side he had this celtic cross that sorta looked like a maze cuz it was fully connected.

I also had an exboyfriend who had an Egyptian symbol...it's the eye of God (I think). That'd be another idea...something Egyptian.

i'm all about guys with tattoos..but i have to say the first two options you said are pretty lame..go for something that in 50 years you will still want(no matter what you say now..you will NOT want a $100 bill tattooed on your arm, or 'all eyes on me' tattooed anywhere on your body..trust me. however, the friends for life in german or something else along those lines would be ok.

no matter how hot you are/think you are a lame tattoo is still lame..case in point: mark mcgrath (from sugarray) is gorgeous..but has a lameass rolex tattoo on his arm..just cuz hes hot doesn't mean the tattoo is.

first off its TATTOO

I haven't regretted any of mine yet except for the first time I went to church with a skirt but I got over that pretty quick. You have to love whatever you are getting because its there until you die - no you can't remove it and no you can't change it (very well anyway)

Best advice is to get something that means something to you - treat them like art, a diary entry into your life. You only have one skin, decorate it well.

do some research first

tatoos on arms are %&#(* gay....go for something on the shoulders/upper back. nothing wrong with letters.

tattoos on the back, between the shoulder blades.. YUM.. love guys with those. although "all eyes on me" is kinda lame. :)

:D :D :D :cool: :cool: :cool:

I think we might have a lil freak hoe in the house.....LOL



Where are your tatoos lil lady, and what are they of?

I'm not a big fan of English classes.

I totally thought of Tupac!

Anyway, I would say get something on your back, or below the waistline... maybe a little to the side, like in that pelvic nook. I know it seems like a girly place to get a tattoo, but trust me, it's hot on guys. And, easily hidden if necessary.

I think you should get the eyes without it saying "all eyes on me" or the German thing...

I really don't give a shit if you are a fan of English classes or not - you posted so you opened yourself up for it

I mean you asked about a tattoo and I have extensive knowledge of tattoos - just trying to help

also before you get inked check out

it will scare you

1. Yes, I'm white, but why the hell does that matter??? That doesn't have anything to do with this question!

2. Neither. I just think those ideas are lame, especially anything for the arm. Both of them seem kind of arrogant to me. If there's one thing I despise in a guy, it's arrogance (confidence is good-it can just be carried too far). I like the idea about "Friends for life" in German, too. And definately go for the back. Arms are not a turn-on, at least for me personally.

I like the "Friends for Life"--- but honestly, get what you feel is right for you--even if everyone says its lame. If it is right for you then get it, you have to live with it--no one else!!!!

My opinion is tattoos are personal--- if you have a story to go with it, then it is more interesting. But if you don't, who the hell cares!!! There will ALWAYS be someone who does not like your tat. I have 8--will soon be getting #9--and won't stop there!! My husband has more than 20 (i've lost count)--- I have one he does not like~~just like he has several I don't like!! But we accept each other for who we are, and the tattoos we have--his tats are his decision, just like mine are my decisions.

When deciding make sure it is the right tat for you---don't just pick some random piece of flash because it looks cool. Make it have meaning to you. Be sure you will be happy with the placement of it--it will be there for a long time. Make sure you go somewhere with a good reputation--somewhere that is clean!!

And don't forget they say they are addictive--so be prepared to be getting another. :)

badtattoos.com has officially scared me into NEVER getting a tattoo.

i have a tribal on my lower back that signifies princess, a tribal on my foot (very small, i drew it), a yellow rose and sorority letters (also very small) on my right hip, and a tiny pink M (adding a little butterfly) on my lower stomach right above those little hip bones that stick out.. :)

and i'm not freaky. just love those tattoos :) :)

Many people have said, but I feel like reiterating it. Get whatever you want. It's your body, it's your tattoo. You have to live with it. My only advice to you would be make sure it's something meaningful to you. If you go out and get a random tattoo (like Elmer Fudd on your azz), you're going to wake up one day and say, "what the &*#@!!!".
I love mine and don't regret them. I'm thinking about getting another one. There isn't really a story behind them but they do mean something to me. So before you go out and get yours, make sure it's something that means something to you, and that you can live with for the rest of your life.

P.S, I don't remember who said it, but tattoos are addictive

1. It has a lot to do with whether or not you would like it.

2. What women sometimes view as arrogant.....men sometimes view as pimp.


The difference between arrogance and confidence is in the eye of the beholder, not the individual himself.

I bet your boyfriend likes those.....:D :D :D



I tried getting an ex of mine to have her letters tatooed on her lower back right above the ass. She wouldn't do it. She wasn't one of the stupid ones.:)

:rolleyes:
not really

That doesn't make much sense; in fact it makes very, very little but I won't argue. If you're going for the "pimp" look, that's great, I'm just pointing out that it's going to turn a lot of girls off. In my mind, there's arrogance, and then there's just lame pimpy-ness. It's anybody's guess as to which you're going for. Personally, even though I'm not a big fan of arrogance, I'd rather have just the arrogance than a "pimp". The "pimp" thing is a fad. You don't want to be freaking young girls out 20 years from now.

I'm sorry, I'm not normally this confrontational but you got defensive first.

It actually does make a lot of sense. See, arrogance is a term chicks use to try to bring a mans confidence down. Rarely do you hear men use the term...." arrogant asshole" ( Which is commonly used to define me on this web site). Why? Because 1. Chicks feel inferior around guys like that and it pisses them off, they don't realize it but thats what the anger and disgust is drawn from. It's like they just coined the term " arrogance" inorder for them to stay proper and not punch man. This is the difference between men and women. If a man feels like this because of another man, he takes it as being tried.....which usually results in a fight or some sort of a physical confrontation.


Now that I've broken it down for you, make sense?

Well since this thread is now off topic, I'd thought I'd had my $0.02 in.
Anyway, there is a difference between arrogance and confidence, and it's not something women made up just because they were intimidated by a man.
There is also a difference between being assertive and being a bitch. If you're assertive you can speak your mind in a tactful manner, and listen to otehrs opinions while strongly sharing yours. You're a bitch when you don't care about anyone else, and people will let you have your way if it will shut you up. Get what I'm saying?
This is not a slam at anyone, just a general sentement.
If someone really is the "shit", they don't have to say anything, because everyone already knows.

Assertive is just a term proper women/men use rather than it's foulish cousins.....bitch/dick. You can be assertive and still seem elegant. You say bitch, and your like every other common female.


Bitch can have many meanings. It can be the words used to describe someone or something. It can be used to describe an attitude, which is what you choose to describe bitch. Your definition of bitch and mine vary. What you view as bitchy, I call childish.


In any case.....My shit does make sense and I hope you understand that now.

Actually they do, it's just in front of individuals they choose.


Some do it to their best friends, others do it to randoms.


I think everyone has had that friend who absolutly thinks he/she is the shit and they've let you in on it.

Okay, that may be so. But haven't you ever come acroos a friend, or random that will constantly tell you that he/she is the shit, but you and everybody else knows that they are not?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Nope! No sense!
You don't have to "break it down" for me. I'm way ahead of you.

That said:
riiiiiiight! I feel SOOOO inferior around you UF_Pike...

What you just posted is completely false. This is what guys who think they're "pimps" (which is definately something that is lame, unattractive, and not cool) say to make themselves feel better around classy girls that don't want to get with them. A guy that called himself a pimp or got either of those tattoos at my school would be laughed off campus. You may still be a really great person, but I just think I should warn you of that fact. I actually really like the "Friends for Life" in German idea. Go with that. The other two are just sketch and misplaced arrogance.

No, actually they don't.

A true pimp need not speak of his or her actions because they know the deal.

A fake pimp tries to throw how they are a "pimp" in every situation they get a chance.

True.

I don't know why anybody entertains UF_Pike. If he wants to make an azz of himself getting some Tupac rip off tattoos, who cares.

And he obviously doesn't understand what he is talking about because it is called SEEKING APPROVAL. You know, kinda like starting this thread?

Amen! It seems to me that every time there is an active thread, he seems to start a new thread discussing the same stuff. Any time someone does that, someone will post a link to the other thread. When it comes to him, though, nobody really cares about what he says, so they don't post a link. I just had to say that. Thanks and good night. :)

Ahhh....thank you grand master pimp......



I will truly hold dear your words of wisdom.....


Ha!

Go back to spring break, or is it already over for you?



Do I have your approval, huh lisa?

Not really....


I'll put it like this....


I have a friend who played a sport for UF, he's a star player who will probably be one of the 1st 10 people to be drafted this yr. Now, when you talk to him he sounds like an idiot. He talsk real slow as if he's smoked too much weed or done 1 too many wippets. He's not good looking based on what many girls say. He thinks he's the shit.....totally. He lets all of us know this, we all say shit like that to each other, but he is really bad about it. Often time we crack on him about his bad speech and how his eyes always look like he's stoned.

But!

He is still the shit. One day, in a matter of months, he'll be worth millions. A little while later, even more millions. Now, money is something this guy is used to. He comes from a family that is extremely wealthy, much much more than mine. His dad was one of the three doctors to invent laser surgeory. That said, his life style won't change all that much. He'll still be playing this sport for the rest of his career, if he's not injured, and still be rich as phuck.

In my view.....playing sports and being a millionaire......it doesn't get much better than that. You have both power and status.....



Every person is different. Sometimes you have to look beyond to surface to see where someone might be the shit. Nobody thinks a like. A person who you think is an idiot, arrogant or ugly.....can easily end up a millionaire, sex icon and a household name.....

A few examples:

50 cent.....crack dealer, gangster and ex con.

Mike Tyson, rapist.....man eater.....and talks like a fag

Angelina Jolie.....has drank her husbands blood....hates on her dad publicly AND has a nasty drug habit.

Tom Green......the name says it all.

Howard Stern.......Has to be on of the nerdiest looking guys on the planet, yet, he is still the shit.

I could go on and on for you, but do you now see where I'm trying to go with this?

I totally see where you're going with this, but I disagree. You disagree with me on the definition of bitch, I disagree with what aspects make a person the "shit" so to speak.

I obviously don't value power and money as much as you do. It's not at the top of my list of priorities. My goal in life is not to make the most money and rub it peoples faces.

Those examples you shared with me, I would not look up to any of them or admire them. Yes they have money and lots of it, but I think they're losers.

People I think are great, are obviously not the same as you. I wouldn't rank a celebrity up there. I would put people like my friends and family. Doctors, scientists.

IMO, just because you have money, doesn't mean you are the "shit"

Hmm..... Friends for Life in German is "Freunde fur Leben"

There are 2 dots over that U.

I speak fluent German, I'm from Stuttgart and I will admit I dont' think that's the coolest looking tattoo you could get.

The snake eyes and the tiger eyes are a little cheesy. Btu I like the tiger eyes better.

I am not one to talk about cheesy tattoos, I got one removed and let me tell you IT AIN'T CHEAP AND IT HURTS LIKE A MO FO.

So get something you'll like.

And unless your german I don't know I'd tattoo stuff in german on me...I like it when people say, "Oh your German...I'm German too!" and I'll say, "I'm from Stuttgart--you?" and they'll say "I'm from Jersey!" I know it's cool to eb proud of yoru heritage...but FYI there is NO Jersey in Germany.

If you had to get a phrase... you might want...

"Wer Rastet der Rostet" He who waits...is last

don't matter...it's truth.

lol.... :D :p

You have gone about proving my point better than I ever could! Making money or having one special talent doesn't mean that you are an all-around cool person, as you just pointed out! Just because you have attitude and money doesn't mean you have class or intelligence. Getting a "pimp" tattoo doesn't make you classy, intelligent, or rich. It just makes you pathetic. Money isn't what makes people cool or interesting. Money isn't a reason for arrogance.

Besides, even if you want admire or want to be like the people listed above--you're not. I mean, you don't have the millions of dollars, even!

To me, someone is not "the shit" (or what have you) unless they're an ALL AROUND awesome person--talented, fun, non-arrogant, and classy. Your idea of what makes people "the shit" is obviously some weird characteristic you define both as being a "pimp" and having money.

Let me say this:

I go to one of the most upperclass, rich, classy (yes, and sometime arrogant--thus my hatred of arrogance) schools in the nation. Fashion, social aptitude, the whole deal, is important to social life here. Coming from outside this upperclass world and viewing it from the outside, I can tell you that in this elitist segment of the population, neither money nor looks will be enough to get you ahead. The keys are an awesome personality and class. The tattoos you suggested seem to suggest neither, rather they imply arrogance and a faddish, sleazy "pimp" ideal. I'm just warning you that a lot of people out there, a lot of people at the top of society, the ones you seek to emulate, would view these tattoos as pretty dumb. If they're what you want to do, regardless, fine. But you seem to be contradicting yourself.

Being the shit is in the eye of the beholder... I can totally think Britney Spears is the coolest (which she is), and other people will think she is a trashy little lying, no-talent poser.

It comes down to, as Lady Pi Phi says, what the beholder values. Someone will value Howard Stern and hold him as high as someone else may hold Malcolm X. Or, someone may value two people who are totally different, but both exceptional in their own way.

I believe that everyone is the shit, in their own way. I mean, I know of some total computer nerd losers, but they are so intelligent and raking in the cash. That is a reason to admire them, even though I don't enjoy spending time with people like that. They are successful.

I also know some girls who are total dumbasses and can't really hold the most intelligent conversations, but they would give their right arm for their friends and will get your back... always. That makes them the shit in the friend department.

And then there are people like me, who are well-rounded in every way! j/k :)
