Do you Tattoo?

Chief Seeway · #1 06-29-2003, 06:50 PM

Currently I have four:

Celtic Cross [left shoulder]
Celtic knot band w/ claddagh [right arm]
Scorpion [left ankle]
and...

The Washington Redskins [right ankle]

So what do you guys and gals have inked?

Right bicep- Marvin the Martian with "BIG" on top and "KENNY" on the bottom

Left bicep- a cobra (my first tat. I loved my Mustang Cobra that much!!

)

Right calf- a big picture of the sun with Jamir on top and 11-21-02 on the bottom

Left calf- a big picture of the earth with Rajaun on top and 7-10-98 on the bottom.

The legs are obvious tributes to my two boys. I don't plan on fathering anymore children for what it's worth....

I hope you don't father anymore children. I'd hate to hear what else you got tattooed.

I have one. A baseball player on my right calf. I've had that since back in '88. Senior year in high school. All of the guys had it done.

I have never got one and never plan to but I have always said if I did it would be a Redskins logo

Never got one... not my style. But I have always liked to see them on other people. Got to hang with some tat guys in So Cali for a while... went to conventions... stuff like that... those guys were great!

Right Bicep- Ranger Tatoo
Left Bicep- Dragon wrapped around a sword

Not my stuff, but it seems that it is more an anglo-saxon thing than a latin thing.

I have no tattoos and will probably never get one, but that Marvin Martian one doesn't sound bad. I'm afraid, though, that I'd always be looking at it and laughing--the way I do with Kenny's avatar. I've always loved Marvin the Martian.

I'll be honest...I HATE NEEDLES.

So the thought of 16 of them pricking me 1,000s of times doesn't make me rush out to my local tat parlor.

However, I like the concept of tatoos. If I could go under anesthisia (sp) I'd do it...

The one on my arm is actually a profile view with him holding his ray gun.

I'll probably get one sooner or later. Not sure what it'll be, though. I've been toying with the thought of some sort of Oriental symbol on my arm or back, but I'm not sure which symbol it'd be.

This is my thoughts as well.

I've seen too many people get stupid tattoos in their life...especially girlfriends, or wives that have since divorced them.
I've seen the old men in the nursing homes with their faded droopy tattoos and they look silly. So I'd rather not deface my body with someone's handy work. But that's just me.
As a Christian, the bible is not specific on the idea, but does discourage it on certain levels, so that's another reason I stay away from it.
Of all the things to mark on your body, I think the ones that have memorials to the dead or tributes to your kids or something are the best ones.

See, now that's even funnier! I have got to get a look at that thing at the tailgate party, Kenny.

PennSkinsFan · #14 06-30-2003, 01:48 PM

Never had one, never will. No problem with them, in fact I like the looks of many of them. It isn' t me i don't think one would look good on me, however, they are for some people.

As for woman, i love seeing them on the ankle.

Now jewelry is a little different, got an earring in the left ear when I was in college. Haven't worn it since. My wife has a nice small ring in her nose and one in he rbelly button. I think they are pretty sexy.

JSARNO----not sure where your going with the Christ thing. Not sure where in the bible, especially the New Testament that you woudl be referring to.

CarMike · #15 06-30-2003, 02:36 PM

I'm just the opposite. Never wanted a ear ring.

This question is for anyone else here who does have a tattoo. Do you find it addictive to get a tattoo? I have. I've talked to several guys who have multiple tattoos. And they all have said that once you get one, you'll want another. Its true. I still want another one. May go with somekind of Redskins tribute....
