plus another big one i have in mind alrdy but im searching right place
I though about making a tattoo in my forearm (in the areas where you can see the veins). I want a text on it (and i have a text) but i don't want it to be hebrew or english. I though about a foreign language like chinese or latin. does anyone have ideas about such tattoos? any advices?
as simple as that, a language that makes my arm look good(the text does have a huge meaning!), and something that only i can understand. latin is probably the best possibility? i'd rather it be text than signs like chinese,
just stupid random language with some fancy tekst. In what way is this related to you?
for example ; name in chinese, fucking white trash jersey boy shit!
i'll start with a meaningful text. after that these are the options:
1) a language that the majority won't understand, allowing 'privacy' for you to enjoy the tattoo
2) having a good looking tattoo ( isn't half the point in making tattoo's?)
no , everyone has their own opinion. And beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
But i still think getting a text in a foreign language you dont understand is fucking corny, same for tribals. If i ever get a tat its gotta be unique in its style
A fitting quote from my favourite author, theatre masks where the laughing one has horns and the sad one thorns, others are memories from trips & happenings & people.
isn't pointless that you can't see it? if i wanted to tattoo a quote. i'd want to put it somewhere i can view it constantly (even without wanting so) like forearm, hand etc.
Well, I don't spend my time looking at myself :) It was the best place for it, I like to keep them balanced instead of just randomly dropping them here and there. Now I need to figure out something to my right chest, feels weird to have just other inked.
i didn't mean looking at your self all the time :P i meant, a situation as an example where you tattoo a quote in your forearm. while walking down the street you meet a familiar, you shake his hand, and oops, you eyes catch with the tattoo...
also, only one chest inked sounds cooler than two (that is my own opinion but i had to share it!)
it truly wasn't an attempt at insulting you ( i have no reason in doing so) but pointing out reality. the problem i have with your comment is, you aren't fighting reality but rather accepts it, or unaware of it.
Think your best bet is to visit a designer/artist at the tattoo studio. I think things you should consider is how reliable will your source be if for example you want it in Chinese as there are so many cases where the text is wrong. Will you have anything extending from the text for example, so you can make it a bit smaller with a pattern/design around it otherwise possibly central. It's all down to personal preference.
With the text down the same location you're looking to get I went for an Elvish inspired look, purely for looks, different as I didn't want it in English or Welsh etc. Do get people asking if it's Arabic all the time so I say yes and it means Allah is great, the looks I get are priceless :D
Main thing I'd say is don't rush in to your design, you may find something you like for now but keep looking and play around with the design.
first, cheers for the constructive comment...
second, my main consideration is whether to make a tattoo on my forearm (which is what i am wishing to do...), and how will 'society' accept it, as in, how will company see my tattoo (a text) and how they will react...will they hire me or fire me for the tattoo, give me loose chances in receiving jobs in companies etc
I guess it depends on what job you're looking to have. There are some legalities like freedom of expression and others to some degree though but I wouldn't go trying to show off with such things just because of your way to express yourself or other means by having a tattoo.
What job are you looking to get? You can still cover the tattoo up in most cases ie office jobs can use a long sleeved shirt and so on. You could ask other professionals in the field you're looking to go down, some managers would be easy going with them, others would look down on you as some low class ignorant guy who can't make decisions maybe.
I've never had a problem with tattoos and work, but most of the work I've done is labour/mechanical so a bit different than being a lawyer for example :3 something you need to think long about x)
staying away from those bets as I don't want any ink on my body, but have heard of such bets and I'm sure there are people who have got a similar tattoo as a result of lost bet :D
we both didnt know, till i came out of the shower like 3 hours after and i just caught a glimpse of it in the mirror, couldnt believe it lol made him check his and thankfully he got mine done and i didnt look like a faggot!
+1, I still don't understand why people get them. Why on earth do you want something permanently drawn on your body. It's like wearing the same sweater your entire life.
Things don't need to be always useful nor logical to not be stupid. Don't you know situations like you and some friends are on a lawn in the middle of the night. It rains and storms like hell, you are completly wet through. And you just start doing somersaults all the time... until you are so dizzy that you stay lying down and enjoy the moment.
It doesn't make any sense and it's actually pretty stupid. And still it's more awesome than you sitting at home at the same time, while writing about usefulnes on crossfire. I don't know whether u get my point. My english sucks so I have a hard time to explain it.
But fair enough, I have to admit there are tons of people who do it only to feel 'cool'.
thats what I said, 99% of ppl make it to be "cool" and I havent met the other 1% yet I am afraid.
And the other situation you said yeah its pretty damn stupid so cant imagine it unless drunk.
well some crazy stuff. dunno i was dancing in the rain alrdy, was drunken on a circle in a middle of a street and was hiding till a car came and i frighten them due to jumping of my hiding place and i just did this all for the fun :D
Not everything you do has to be useful or logical. But you don't do senseless things permanently.
Like I mentioned before: you don't wear the same sweater your entire life, even if it's your favorite one. So why put something on your skin, that can't be reversed.
It's not a random generalization. Not that I've ever seen an exception to this "rule", but there might be very few exceptions. It doesn't mean my statement is not accurate though. Look around and you will see it.
Btw, I'm not saying everyone with a tattoo is stupid or scum. But there's a range from stupid/scum to intelligent/civilized. The more tattoos, the closer people are to being stupid/scum.
it always depends what kind of tattoos someone has on his body =)
but i agree on the pooint that many ppl just make one w/o even have a "good" reason just to go with mainstream. this i stupid indeed ;)
Exactly, most people don't think about the consequences. If it's something really really important and spiritual to someone like a special necklace, they won't mind having it for a lifetime. But in 99,99% of the cases, they will get fed up with it sooner or later and sadly you can't replace a tattoo. So they get another one and make it even worse.
Have got a small one. Put it there like 8 years ago. Haven't regretted it. I designed it myself. I would really recommend making ur tattoo urself, or if you can't draw let someone draw it for you but with your idea. If you just pick some random stars or tribal from some catalog, you're probably gonna regret it. Seen that happen so many times.
got the welsh 3 feathers on my arm, wales written in writing on my forearm, tribal on my left arm will be extending it to the whole arm, tribal on my hand, star on my neck, my name behing my ear, my annitials on my tit, star on my ribs, tatoo on upper neck and a tribal on my leg
stars stars stars on my wrists.
will add 2 new guess very soon on another place. my aquarius sign and a </3
plus another big one i have in mind alrdy but im searching right place
also, could i take advice from you (u seem experienced?) or not?
</3 this speaks for itself imo
for example ; name in chinese, fucking white trash jersey boy shit!
1) a language that the majority won't understand, allowing 'privacy' for you to enjoy the tattoo
2) having a good looking tattoo ( isn't half the point in making tattoo's?)
2) if you think thats beautifull go ahead.
2) thank you for the approval, did i change your mind?
But i still think getting a text in a foreign language you dont understand is fucking corny, same for tribals. If i ever get a tat its gotta be unique in its style
irezumi, 50% of my body
also, only one chest inked sounds cooler than two (that is my own opinion but i had to share it!)

#1
#2
#3
#4
freehand
Something like i would go for
also inb4 it was not an attempt at insulting me
DOES MEANING ACTUALLY EXIST
Hopefully get a few more this year and still planning my main piece x)
Advices like language, the length of the text, style/color/size etc...
With the text down the same location you're looking to get I went for an Elvish inspired look, purely for looks, different as I didn't want it in English or Welsh etc. Do get people asking if it's Arabic all the time so I say yes and it means Allah is great, the looks I get are priceless :D

both done on different holidays to ayia napa, dont ask!
yeah right..stay delusional..

Whatever, I enjoy my 'stupidity', you enjoy your 'boredom' and both are happy. Have a nice day.

SAY WHAT?!
