good decision?

[wayoftheleaf]

For my sixteenth birthday I am going to be getting two tattoos.

But I am wondering if it is a good idea.

I am getting two of them, on on each shoulder blade. A yin-yang sign on my right shoulder blade, and a potleaf in the shape of a peace sign on the left.

are those good tattoo choices?

And also, how bad is the pain? Is it like really bad, or mild?

Should I toke up before I do it?

[marvelous22]

I think the experience would be insane high. Go for it.

I just don't want it to hurt to much...

I just don't want it to hurt to much...

I went in to a tatoo parlor once, just looking. I asked the guy how much pain was involved and he laughed, looked at me and said "well, since you've already given childbirth it shouldn't be so bad"
As soon as he compared it to childbirth I was out the door. lmao

dude your crazy...

why you wanna' get tattoos

especially a pot-leaf...thats not the smartest, you're 16.

[MastaChronic]

dude, remember this, that tattoo is most likely going to be with you all of your life, make sure its something that you absolutely love.
im not trying to tell you not to get a tattoo, far from it. i think that before anyone gets a tat that they should be completely mentally and physically prepared

[wayoftheleaf]

How many people will see it? it is on my shoulder blade.

[wayoftheleaf]

if I didn't get the pot leaf, id get the yin-yang on my right shoulder, not shoulder blade.

[MastaChronic]

if i were you, i would go for something that doesnt scream I SMOKE POT, but still stands for it...like...the rastafarian lion

[JunkYard]

They don't hurt that bad, man. Actually it's just a little uncomfortable except in the tender area's and then it hurts pretty good.

I'd go with something personal, though and not a pot leaf and yin yang. It seems like everyone gets those.


Junk~

[Frivolous248]

Get an "M" or wait, a "13"...'cause the hells angels had "13" tattooed or sewn on their jackets, 'cause M is the 13th letter in the alphabet, and M stands for marijuana.

Whoa I'm high.

[wayoftheleaf]

nothing as tacky as this, but i want a yin yang with a fissure down the middle, and light and darkness streaking from the top and bottom like this.

[marvelous22]

My friends dad has a Pot Leaf on the back of his Palm its madd cool. He sits there at our baseball games by the center field wall all alone and rolls fatties and smokes em.

WayoftheLeaf, you're told me a couple of times that you're in the process of trying to lose a whole lot of weight. A tattoo isn't going to look the same when you get down to a normal weight as it is at a much heavier weight. Maybe think about getting down to normal and letting your skin do all the shrinking it's going to do and then getting a tattoo if you must.

[geonagual]

Get the marijuana leaf on the inside of your lip. Nobody will ever see it unless you want them to. Don't you have to be 18 to get a tattoo?

Yeah, that's a fact. When I worked Geri there were 80-90yo women with shrivled up tats! Shocked me. lol


Indeed, if you are in the process of weight loss, it would be best if you waited until you got to where you'd like to be and have that skin toned up.
If you have to have a tat, ya want it to look buff right?

Also, do think about what others have said. Unless you are mega rich and can afford laser treatments, tats are for life. The tat you choose can also determine which women will date you and who will employ you.
I realize tats are "in" "cool" but the phase doesn't last forever.
Lifetime decisions shouldn't be made lightly.

Honestly, I think you should think twice before getting such common tattoos.

It should mean something, and have uniqueness.

I also agree, lose weight, tone your muscles then get them. You want to be in tip-top shape to show them off.

And the pain isn't bad, infact I enjoyed it. Awesome feeling for those endorphins to kick in.

Im going to evetually get a tatt of a pot leaf on my hand, i want something that's permantly telling everyone i smoke weed.

But if i was you i'd wait untill a little longer. If you get a tatt at 16, your still growing and it'll stretch. Then you'll be forever wishing you haddnt got it so early.

[BobBong]

Wait until you're at least 18... think about the tattoo's first..

The very fact that you had to ask if they are good tattoo's or not just shows that they don't mean enough to you to justify permanently putting it on your skin.

It feels like someone is cutting you with a razor blade... so have fun getting two of them in one sitting..

[2600HERTZ]

Mostly... jsut make sure it is something that really represents you or somethign you wont ever lose interest in and will always love or care about.

If it fits the bill, do it.

That's what i plan on getting soon on the back of my right hand. The whole size of my hand lol. I want to be able to show it off all the time. Let people know i smoke weed. Damn im proud.

[wayoftheleaf]

Yeah, This birthday i didn't really plan on it, just hoped, but i am losing the weight pretty quick, if i am down to the size I want by the time i am 17 i will get a tattoo. If not, when I am 18.

All depends.

Anyhow I am not getting a normal yin yang. It will have a fissure in the middle with jets of darkness and jets of the white shooting out of the fissure.

[MaryjaneAndHashley]

If I was to get a tattoo, the only thing i'd get would be something special that nobody else has, and something that's reaaaaaaallllyy special to me, a custom representative thing that i'd want to carry for a lifetime. and it would have to be small. And I dont think i'd be ready for such a thing at 16, you know, always doubts.

[partyguy420]

i would say GO FOR IT... but its to bad... you HAVE to be 18 to get a tattoo even with parents premission... ive already looked into it....

although... you can go on ebay and look up tattoo guns, and you can do it your self... or find a friend who will do it for you... or just lear how to do "prison" tattoos... ive given my self a prison tattoo... didnt turn out to bad... and it will stay with you for life... cause my grandpa had one put on his arm of the gang he was in, in the 30's while he was doing time in prison, and when he died it was still with him... 50 plus years latter... so do alot of thinking befor you do it, cause my grandpa said he wasnt happy having a gang tattoed on his arm...

[b0Ng h!tz 4 mE]

I think the experience would be insane high. Go for it.

yeah.. getting a tatoo high is the shit..

haha.. why would getting a tatoo high be that fun? ull still feel the pain, maybe a lil less but non the less its not what id describe to be "insane".. come meet up with me, ill show you the true meaning of insane
