I need a mid-life crisis tattoo
« on: June 11, 2009, 05:59:45 AM »
I don't have any tattoos and I need one ASAP!  I've been considering getting one for the past 20 years, but keep putting it off.  Anyone have any suggestions?  While I'm against doing anything PLA related (because, you know, PLA is just a silly passing fad and won't last), I still think a cactus would be kind of cool.  Like this one:



The one thing I've been obsessed with my entire life is telephones, so maybe just a Bell symbol or an old rotary phone or handset.  A pay phone maybe?  The tattoo would likely be on my upper arm in the standard tattoo spot.  Maybe a heart with "murd0c" written on it?  "Spice Girls Forever?"  What should I get?

Like you even had to ask. Roy Orbison on your buttocks is the only way to go.

rbcp promised me I'll be there while he's getting this, so message me about what you REALLY want his tattoo to look like.  I'll take the $uggestion of the highe$t bidder.  I figure I can get him completely wasted and tell the tattoo guy "Hey, he really said he wanted ___________________" (You fill in the blank.)   It will r00l.

Yeah I've considered the 60's Bell logo.  That's a good possibility.  I'm sure that'd be cheaper than a multi-colored cactus.  If I did the Bell logo, what would look better - black or blue ink?

The black would look better but the blue would be cheaper.

Get it with the phosphorescent black light ink, that way you'll be 133t when you're at the club all hopped up on ecstacy and techno music.

Compare tatts with John Draper while you're there.

Y'know, if you do get a mock-up of the Bell logo, you should post it. I wanted to get something done in the same fashion on my shoulder as well. Thing is if you get it first, then I get it and someone else gets it we'll all look like a fraternity of gay.

My other tattoo was going to be a circuit board layout on my back of this old AMD K6 board I have back home; only heavily modified and the such for my own artistic desire. Either way, get the Bell one because it'd be bitching sweet.
