Well its been a weird year. Between house fires and any number of other strange occurences which I won't get into detail about now,2009 has really been a doozy. I'm about to go further down the rabbit hole. I don't know if anyone has been able to discern this about me from my close to 4000 posts but I am not a typical tattoo kind of guy (whatever the hell that means). I am more likely to download "Tattoo"by Jordin Sparks than to get ink on my arm. But due to many many circumstances that I will eventually explain I feel it may be neccessary.

So anyway, some questions. First and foremeost, does it hurt? I saw one YouTube where a guy described it as havign a bee's ass scraped across your arm. Is this accurate?

Secondly, anyone have any suggestions on cool tattoos? And yes, I have already thought of having the Prince symbol put on my arm but I think this may be vetoed. I could have a big lotus flower tattooed on my arm but I'm afraid this is one of those tattos that will lack staying power. Outside of Prince related tattoos what are some other cool tattoos to consider.

I am serious about this. GottaLetitgo is about to become hard-core!

after a certain age, getting a tattoo or piercing, for men, is a proclamation of ghieyness.




Well, it is .

I wasn't really planning on making a proclaimation of anything except that I am about to become a bad-ass MF!

The pain should be the least of your worries.Its worth it if the tattoo has true, heartfelt meaning for you.

BUT....
The pain be a bit uncomfortable

Maybe I should just get one of those "spray on" tattoos.

No, I will be able to handle the pain...I think.

If I can, then so can you

What is the age???

Still thinking about the design. I wonder if I should do something surreal like a tattoo of me getting a tattoo. That would mess people up.

Mid-life crises are not fun.

Funny you should start this thread because I've been itching for a new one...and I want it to say "Let it go"

That's going to be my motto from now on. You see up to now, I hink GottaLetitgo has been ironic on account of the fact that I may be one of the most repressed human beings on the planet. But damn the torpedos, I am going to let it go from now on.

Starting with a completely awesome tattoo...

I've got "DGAF" self inked on my ankle.
