What kind of tattoos do you all have?
I just got my second today...my first is my surname in script on the inside of my bicep, my second is a depiction of Psalm 23. I'll put some pics up once its all healed and looking good.

I got 2, first is a quote in latin on my forearm, 2nd is a half sleeve guardian angel that was a tribute tatt to my grandfather, then when my pup passed, I had her name worked into it but after the original but still looks like one piece. I was thinking another, in script down my spine, I just haven't decided what I want it to say yet so until something holds some meaning for me I won't bother. I'm not for big pieces over the body I think it can get cluttery so while it's addictive I keep it minimalistic.

I always wanted to get a tribal tattoo on my arms and chest (Do not have any tattoos), but never pulled the trigger as I felt nowadays NOT having a tattoo is DVH.
Thoughts?

The overall theme is tribal-style symbol simplicity. I don't want to get anything to elaborate or with color. Though I may get some kind of tribal to connect them all, but that's not going to be for a while, if at all.
First one is a lambda, the symbol of Sparta from what I could research. Got a little obsessed with Spartan history for a while. Thank God the only thing that came out of it was the tattoo, a copy of 300 and some books. The second is a wolf's head I drew on paint. The eagle on my back is a mix of the Imperium of Man eagle from Warhammer 40 000 and the eagle on the Great Seal of the US that my insanely talented younger sister made for me.
The forth one is probably the most layered and meaningful. Its, as my blog is called, Sympathy for the Devil. The two triangles are the body of the Devil, horns on top, three lines for the pitchfork on the bottom, the two lines sticking out the sides are the burnt wings. The triangles also make an hour glass, representing the time we have left in life and when shown horizontally its a rough symbol for infinity, represents the eternal life of the Devil/fate/Gods/bad things (whatever you believe in) and that you can't escape him/it/them. Overall, it reminds me not to slow down or get comfortable with what's going on in my life. That things are constantly in a state of flux. That playing by the rules and being the stoic man usually get you screwed, as it did me with my marriage. And, finally, and what became a secondary meaning a few days after I got it, it means be the guy with the shit-eating grin. Always on the hunt. Always scoping the place for targets. Always be direct and unwavering. Be, at least in the eyes of feminists, fundamentalists and my past beta self, the devil.
Sympathy for the Devil

When a girl is covered in some ink I think it looks so sexy. Isn't that ironic that 1 or 2= trashy but sleeves or a giant tattoo = sexy? Tramp stamps, and the new common tattoo for girls which is on the foot, are tacky in my opinion.

Ive had this discussion before. Now more than ever I am against the idea of getting a tattoo. I think people should do whatever makes them happy, so fuck whatever I think, but here is my two cents for why its fucked up.
People get tattoos for various reasons, one of the most common I hear is they want some kind of memory or piece of themselves inked on their carcass. I cant see what can be so important youd mutilate your body that you couldnt just remember or take a picture of and frame. Get into photography if you want memories.
Next, the coolest tattoos are the ones you EARN. For instance, your initiation into manhood, or the crazy ass tattoos Maoris get. You dont have to ask the same question "what does that mean"... the tattoo itself is communication medium and needs no translation... it represents something all men recognize, not the silly school girl impulses I see all summer at the beach.
Too many people get tattoos for reasons I just dont think is good enough. You are not standing out if you get a tattoo.
When that is said, I come much harder when Im doggy-styling a girl with a tramp stamp. Dont know why.

I wanted to bump this because I got m.o.b. tatted on my chest a few weeks ago right on my heart. It's in tagging letters and I'm very happy with the work. I feel the addiction coming on because I'm already planning my next one.

One of my FB's has a tramp stamp, though she got it back before they were really considered that... it's still sexy as hell to me... and not bad scenery to look at while I hit it from behind.
Personally, I've been wanting to get a tribal tattoo (phoenix) on my upper back for years. Haven't really had the cash or been able to take the leap yet.
