Who has em? What's the significance of your tattoo(s)? I'm planning on getting one soon.
I do not yet, but it will be my children's names when I finally commit to getting ink. I'm leaning towards some self drawn graffiti or possibly written in Japanese.
I'm working on a full back piece right now, I'm a little over half way done and it's my first tattoo. It's a knight and a demon( {Abyssal Persecutor}) ready to fight with two castles in the background. It's all black and red.
My sister is getting a quote from her favorite Beatles song, but can't figure out which one.

That's awesome. Holy cow.
I have the Imperial symbol and the rebel symbol on the inside of each shoulderblade
I'm planning on getting some. I've got two planned out. If any of you listen to metal, they are Oh, Sleeper's broken pentagram symbol thing, and I also plan on getting "Long Live" printed somewhere. Still working on that.
Im getting an American flag probably on the back of my shoulder. Itll most likely evolve into a quartersleeve of a jumble of all the things i love
Once my knee injury heals and i can strt working out in ernest that is, gotta be a little swoll for a tat

The Chariot?
I have a few. My favorite is the cover of the Clash's London Calling on my shin. That was the first band I really got into and it me interest in punk and playing music. They'll always hold a special place in my heart.
My second favorite is the stick'n'poke "246" on the inside of my finger to commemorate the house (246 was the address) that my friends and I used to hang out at heavy and throw house shows at back in the day. Some of us still live there and that's where my band still practices at to this day.
I have a few others but those are my favorites.
Thanks for sharing! that second one is very interesting.

yeah the chariot! The most influential band I know to date. Them and Norma Jean. Love your tattoos tho. Pretty sick.
I have 3. Would take a long bit to explain all of the reasons for each one. But the short list goes like this. 1st was an imperial dragon going down the outside of my right calf. 2nd was an original design stonework cross on the outside of my left leg. 3rd was a pair of ravens, one on each shoulder blade. Considering the FMA Flamel Cross for my next one.

I posted my most recent about a month ago. It is a heart hand-grenade on my elbow. I also have Roman numerals on my forearm for the day I got married, a koi fish on my bicep, and a crucifix on my back.
Just talked to my tattoo artist today about completing my 3/4 sleeve.
Next up, a pocket-watch set at 8:28, the time both of my kids were born! (AM and PM though!)

*in stoner voice* - it's all about the art man!
I think I've picked out the design for my first tattoo 😊
I have a tattoo on my "gun".
It's a picture of bowser from super Mario brothers 2, he's wearing sunglasses, but he's peeking over them. He's wailing on a double neck guitar, and notes are flying out. He's also on a surf board and waves are crashing under him. All of that is in front of a big pot leaf, and all of that is on a cross. Above it, it says "happy birthday Rick" because tomorrow is Rick's birthday and he's gunna flip out!
P.s. No this is not on my arm, but it is a hilarious skit on WKUK.

It's the symbol on the cover of my copy of J.R.R Tolkien's The Silmarillion, I took a picture of it above. I've had those books and that world as a part of my life since before I can remember. I wanted something to commemorate that passion and influence on me in a way that isn't too geeky and looks cool without context. Thoughts? the symbol itself has more meaning I can get into as well.

Cool! Sounds like these books were pretty influential in you, What are they about?
I've got two, one of the two rat creatures from Bone (my avatar) with happy/sad expressions ala drama mask (actor)

Only criticism I've heard of my tattoo choice is that it's a bit feminine (I only heard this from one guy)
Does anyone else agree with him?
It's not feminine! It's badass. The Silmarilion is an awesome book. I have thought of getting a tatoo, but I decided not to for now. Someone once told me, "think of what you would have gotten 5 years ago." And it scares me, cause I liked some dumb stuff when I was younger. I don't trust my judgement when it comes to tats!

Something about the phrase 'fetus skeleton' thoroughly upsets me
If I ever get one it may be an Edgar Allan Poe thing.

That is where I'm running into an issue. If I were to go get a tattoo right now, it would probably be either the Marker from Dead Space with some Unitology script or a lambda from Half Life. In five to ten years, though, I have no idea if I'll come to regret it. I'm sure in 30-40 years, the meaning would be pretty much lost haha.

I mean if it has a meaning to you beyond just "it's a [game] [band] [fad] that I currently love then you should go for it. For example, my tattoo idea speaks to me on a much more personal level than just "I love Lord of the Rings and this is how I want to show it"
There are lessons about life I draw from that image, the device/sigil of a really interesting character named Fingolfin.
I have the mandalorian crest on left shoulder and Fett family crest on top left chest. As well as Stan Lee's signature on my right arm which will soon have deadpools name "carved" in under it with him laying on top of stans sig. Eventually adding the Hulk, Spider-Man and anyone else I can add above that. I also have plans for the firefly independence flag and captain mal's pistol on back left shoulder blade, scroll text "I aim to misbehave".
Friends own a tattoo parlor...
My dad used to say "Get a tattoo as a baby, that way it will increase in size many times and you'll get more for your money"
If I'm brave I may end up getting a FullMetalAlchemist transmutation circle somewhere. Maybe Mustangs on my hand? Lol. Or maybe the State Alchemist symbol on my hand.
My fiancé and i have the infinite symbol with love in cursive intertwined with it. I also have
Right calf: ocarina of time family crest (;
Left elbow: abyssal whip
Right forearm: sage emblems from ocarina of time as well
