Default Tattoos.

I am unsure as to wether I would get a tattoo in the future. I'd like to, but I'd hate to regret it when I was older. I love polynesian desgins like this.




Am I allowed to use this one if it's copyrighted?

Anyway, would you ever get a tattoo, or do you have one or many?

I don't think I'd get a tattoo, no.

I don't think it's something everyone can pull off. Not a fan of the bigger ones, or the really boring stereotypical ones (tramp stamp for example).


I've seen some lovely designs, though. As well as some really 'interesting' ones...

I have a couple, I'm currently getting one removed that I got when I was sixteen and stupid(only a few treatments left)

A few days ago an old friend came over for a visit and I almost went to get
tattooed on the upper left side of my head.

I came to my senses in the morning.

A fresher in one of the societies I go to has the hands holding an apple from the front cover of Twilight. She's an absolute fanatic. It's on her wrist.

^ People who get a tattoo of girlfriends who then leave them

PROBABLY won't because the thought of a big moose on my back is troubling.....but I saw a guy on holiday who had his whole back covered in a Middlesbrough badge...liked it but as I said, Watford's badge is a moose......

I'd like one but I'm too indecisive.

If I ever saw one or thought of one that would be undeniably cool, then I'd get it. Most tattoos I've seen though aren't very good, or wouldn't suit me.

It was going to to scale so not too big, only reason I decided not to is because I don't like tattoos you can't cover up. Not to mention I'd have to shave my head everyday for it too look good, it would look kinda crappy with hair growing over it.

A lot of my friends have gotten that tattoo it's kinda a neighborhood thing.

Hope that works out for you.

I knew someone once who had their first name tattoed on their arm, but it was misspelled.

Also someone who had a bulldog tattoo on their chest, with their name underneath. It just sort of looked like he'd given the dog a name.

There are some shockingly bad tattoos out there.

Dani Alves has his name on his chest. He's such a tool. I have dark skin so I would suit a tattoo. I hate tattoos on flabby pale people.

A bus driver on my route had DAVE up his arm. I just assumed it was his name.

Wasn't a particularly inspiring font or anything original about it, either.

I'm not a fan of people getting like Polynesian tattoos when there not Islanders, I do however like the idea of ones you see that are similar looking but have no ties to polynesians.

Apparently people with paler skin are easier to tatoo regarding colour, it shows better. Fatter people should really consider losing weight before having one done because if they ever did lose weight, I think it would stretch etc.

I will never get a coloured tattoo because they fade and look a lalalalalaeap. I will get a black and white one.

Yeah black and grey ones are much classier.

I'd like to get lyrics tattooed on, but then I'd worry about waking up one day and hating the band/song. If I do get one I think I'd rather have something with meaning than just random shapes.

My homeboy's tattoo.

I think it's his son's name or something, and tattoos on some pale people does look funny.

I kinda hate it to be honest, getting any kind of tattoo that has to do with a particular country or culture and you aren't from that country or culture looks incredibly stupid and a bit disrespectful to me.

Think it depends on the design, and the size - I personally can't stand those pub-green tattoo inks though.


Of course, loads of black can look heavy and tacky, as well.

Yeah, my dad got a Mickey Mouse tattoo on his forearm at 13. He was so scared he just pointed at a random design. It's all green now which I hate. You have to get them coloured in again don't you?
