Tattoos, people!!! We need more of them in these forums!!!
Post up both what you have and what you would like to get, as well as any in-progress and/or future tattoos.
Right now, I'm personally working on a half-sleeve for my left arm that will incorporate a portrait of Giles Corey. Somehow (probably as bands above and below the portrait), I'll have the words Peine forte et dure on the top and "More Weight" - 1692 on the bottom.
As of right now, I have the following:
I also have my first tattoo, a drawing that a friend of mine made for me when we were 14, that I promised to get on my 18th birthday. It's a crystal ball engulfed in flames. I plan on working it into a half-sleeve at some point, but it needs touching up.
All of my tattoos hold meaning of some sort. The standard tradition of getting a tattoo usually goes as follows:
-- Left side of the body means a promise to yourself
-- Right side of the body means a promise to another
-- Split onto both sides or down the center means a balance of your equilibrium
I'm thinking I'll work my half sleeve for my right arm into being a memorial piece for the people I've known and lost that have inspired me.
I'm not usually one for silly tattoos, although sometimes I want to get one.
So what about you guys?
I'm thinking of getting a tattoo for the coming holidays. Could any ink-enthusiasts recommend some good photobooks? Thanks.
"Im getting one in a couple of months.Expensive it maybe, but it'll look so badass.
Its going to look like this
The man in the suit with a gas mask on. Its going to be on my right arm and its going to be expensive as hell because of the size.

Hmm...Rise Against and HIM... Not necessarily my own personal tastes, but that's not the point of the thread. Still cool stuff indeed.
I wish I had as much ink as my cousin. He gets a ton of free tats because he did an apprenticeship at a place here called Art & Sol. Dood named Grasshopper does most of his work. So far, here's got:
Two freehanded half sleeves (one by Brian Pittman of the reaper overlooking a graveyard, and the other by Grasshopper of a samurai committing sepoku at the bed of a river, and the blood flies up in the back to form cranes and the sun)
A heart with a string of notes and "This Love Endures Forever" on his forearm
A portrait of Rasputin on his forearm (and about to have one of Aleister Crowley above that)
A pyramid with the third eye above it and tentacles coming out below it on his forearm
Bubba Hotep and Brisco County Jr. on one calf
A family crest that says "Blutsbruder" (means blood brother in German, I believe...for him and his closest cousin, Jared...who is also my cousin, lol)
A skeleton ripping through flesh on his other calf with the family crest
Brock Samson from the inside of the Venture Bros. season 1 DVD set (the super awesome one with the black shirt and the knife in his mouth that looks hand painted)
"RandomHero666 said:iv been told it looks like a ring."I have this, on my right hand, looks like left but its an inverted snap.I dont think i would ever get anything on my hands, maybe on the forearm when i get older and have found out what i want to do in life but not any time soon."
