So i couldnt find a legit thread on tattoos so i decided to make my own. Im turning 18 in about a month and i really wanna get these lyrics from a song on my right shoulder blade. The lyrics look like this:
A heart of stone
A smoking gun
I can give you life
I can take it away
Theyre from the song Banquet by Bloc Party but anyway i think it would be sweet. Does anyone else have any ink? Also anyone from nyc have any recommendations on tattoo shops?
Cant answer any of your questions but can only say that im 34 now and i got words fm a song tatood on me arm and boy do i regret it. it looks shit so many folk ask about it and to be honest its a baaaaaaad idea. get a pic of something but not names or words. only my opinion.
At least it's a good song :P
I have a tattoo of a intertwined peace and bio-hazard sign. and I got it done in NYC, the place is like a dual headshop, tattoo parlor, on 3rd street near Washington Square. I wish I remembered the name, cuz the dude did a good job.
Hah. my friend is obsessed with Alex Grey. He has pictures lining his dorm and his room at home haha. I stare at that shit when im blazed and i bug out haha its so nice tho. Sometimes i get mad deep...
I have my daughter's name on my arm and another ancient trible going down my leg with a flower. That one is kind of a work in progress. Im going back next sat for my second session. Ill post some pic's when I get a min. Peace
I've got the japanese kanji for demon (Oni / 鬼) on my right shoulder. I also plan to get an octopus on my arm soon. I can't wait. Getting inked is amazing...
heres mine, it looks weird because my arm is scrunched up, but it turned out perfect and am very pleased with it.
people may disagree with having lyrics or words tattooed, but this one will be with me my whole life, its not only a great message, but its also like a string tied around my finger. a reminder, and a light.
Someone mentioned on the forum about somebody having Keep your head up on there feet.
So its inspired me to have it put on my arm.
Pictures soon. :D
I really like that writing justinsane.
That's pretty bad ass justinsane.
Love the beatles.
Sweet song :thumbsup:Quote:

justinsane, that tat is just perfect.
not only is it a great reminder of what's really important in life, it'd be nice to look at that every time I'm gettin' durrrty with my man. big thumbs up.
as for Jazz's song lyrics... if you want to get words inked on you... wait.. and then wait another year...

that's how it started...

that's how it ended... still trying to find someone worthy enough to finish it...
Tat number 1...Love Life on my left wrist. It has a lot of meaning to me and a positive one at that..
I really wouldn't get full lyrics though because as you get older your tastes in music are going to change and maybe your outlook on life.
Example: At 14 I wanted to get a dotted line and a tiny pair of scissors on my wrist that said "Cut here"..EMO right? That shit changed completely and now I've got a great tattoo that I'm not ashamed to show off or to explain, but I think if I got the one I wanted when I was a youngin', I'd be embarrassed to tell anyone about it.
I'm getting my next one next thursday, I have NO idea of what though yet, it's sort of a splurge, which I don't recommend...I have a few ideas tho, I'll post pics next week.
just wonderin why this isnt in the general discussion forum?
unless you think tattoos are sexy..then i guess it belongs here :thumbsup:
Being a tattoo artist i cant say dont do it because well gotta make a living but but sure of what ink job you want with words id say be sure they will still be significant to you in the years to come. goodluck
