Circles are very hard to do, especially for amateur artists. Drawing a perfect circle is hard enough, then no where on your body is perfectly flat, making it even harder. Unless you are going to a really experienced, reputable artist, I'd steer clear of anything with circles.
I love that tattoo toolmaggot. It's beautiful. When I was working at the tattoo parlor a guy came in and got FUCK YOU tattooed right across his forhead in about one inch high font. We all tried to tell him it was a bad idea, and he said it was for a joke. So his wife walking in and was freaking out on him, and she says "why would you do that?" to which he replies he says "next time you ask me for sex, heres your answer" he points to his forhead "I was getting sick of saying it all the damn time" At which point my coffee removed itself from my body threw my nose.
i'm not overly kean on this tattoo i got on my hip its a cover up of a chinese symbol. i had the chinese done when i was 16 & with an ex. he kinda pushed me into it & after we split every time i looked at it i just thought of him. i went in to my tattooist & just picked something off the wall. stupid thing to do i know but at the time i just wanted the thing covered. he tryed to talk me out of it but i was bloody persistant. some days i like it some days i dont. i want to get it covered but i dont want a masive tattoo on my leg. i havent a clue what i would cover it with so for the moment it just staying as it is. i'm sure one day i will find something girly & not overly masive to cover it with.
I have three tattoos as of now &want more. I take a lot of time picking my tattoos to avoid any regret. I did however choose to get the first letter of my [current] significant other's last name. The letter being it looks a lot like the Boston Red Sox or I'm offten told so. The week after getting it I was walking into a tattoo shop in downtown Atlanta with my boyfriend & the girl entering ahead of us held the door while mentioning how much she liked for it was "simple & cute" I've had it for about a year. Still no regret but if the time comes, at least it's only a letter not a name!!!
i love all of my tattoos. the mermaid on my ship tattoo is kickass. my koi means a lot. my scorpion is especially special. a chopstick in my chopstick directions tattoo is slightly crooked, i just think about the fact that a lot of cheap wooden chopstick packs have crooked ones. and my maneki neko is very smooth. in the next couple days i am going to be getting my cat noite in the traditional jaguar pose, with a banner that says noite and she is going to be chasing a roach, because she is my roach killer.
oh i fucking hate this scenario: people come up to me all the time and say, "oh i have tattoos too!" if i'm wearing short-sleeves or shorts. they show me "it", and IT FUCKING SUCKS. IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT. ridiculously poor execution, lines are fuckin' busted and shaky, shading (of course if there is any) is awful, colors and blends (if that is, there ARE any blends) blow ass, you can see raised skin, and sometimes it looks like a kid doodling in middle school did it. i'm like, "oh nice...where'd you get that done at?" (a fuckin' crackhouse basement?)
This old guy tried to get naked for me in a gas station once. He was really drunk and had a lazy eye. "That's nice... I have a tattoo, too.. Wanna see it?" "No, not at all." "Ah, here" *starts unbuttoning shirt* "Aw, dude.. no. Yr up, the cashier is waiting on you" "It'll just take a second.. I don't have to get too undressed for you..." "Yr the creepiest person I've ever met, you know that?" He showed me his tattoo... it was a cross on his arm, with some shit about love underneath it... "It's from the Bible. You ever read it?" "No, but I lit one on fire once. Can you hurry the fuck up and check out? You smell like vodka and piss." He stuck around while I was ringing out, saying some shit about how he can get away with calling little girls sweetheart and putting his arm around them because he was old. I was like, "Defnitely not, dude. In fact, I'm about to kick yr ass if you don't fuck off." In short, never let people show you their tattoos. Because they probably just want to try and stick things in you. *shiver*
toolmaggot...may I please quote the last line of your post above in my signature? it's fuckin hilarious! "In short, never let people show you their tattoos. Because they probably just want to try and stick things in you. *shiver*"
My only tattoo is the ugliest piece of garbage ever. I wish I knew what I could do to fix it but I can't think of anything. Never get a tattoo when you are 16 lol.
My cousin has a horrible tattoo on her breast. It was a rose (cliche I know) and the artist went too deep or it healed bad or something. It is supposed to be the size of a quarter but it looks like a white blob, kind of like a birth mark, all the color came out and it's just like a scar or something with some color. She's going to get it covered up with a butterfly in a few weeks. Tattoo's always run that risk. Which is why your parents/dumbfucks bitch about it and say how bad of an idea it is. If you get a bad tattoo and you hate it the moment the artist is done, don't pay for the damn thing. Tell them it is shitty quality and since you have to live with it, they have to live with no pay for their time! Walk out and be done with it and hope you can either grow to love it or touch it up later.
My only (professional) tattoo I put a lot of thought into before I did it so I love it, but the one I did myself with a needle and indian ink after I'd been drinking, that I slightly regret. I did a decent job, but it's on the inside of my calf (awkward) and it's crooked. So now I don't know what to have done with it. The dumb part was that I did it with black ink so it's going to be hard to fix.
