So after nearly 2 years of deliberating, I've finally decided on my first tattoo-



Thing is, I'm not sure where I want it/where it would look good. I want it in a circle maybe, but I'm not sure it's large enough or if it can be done. Anybody with more experience with ink have any ideas??

you already used that, damnit. i expect originality out of you

I think that would look nice going down the side of your upper arm, either inner or outer. Upper arm can always be concealed with sleeves if need be, but the Elvish script is pretty and elegant enough to look nice and tasteful even if you choose to go sleeveless.

Agreed ^
Will look great!

PunkMistress said:

i'd never considered that! maybe inner arm, hmmm.

i hate you, 23.

this is just something I've heard but apparently forehead is NOT good for placement... just FYI...

“its Leonard Nimoy sitting in a lawn chair thinking about how Spock can’t grow a mustache, so he’s shedding a little tear.”

Number23 said:

oh, well that just makes sense. everyone needs something like that in their life.

I LOVE the inner arm idea... Is on the back of your neck (too Rihanna?) or on your spine conciderable?



Please kick me a bit, girl, to get me forward with my next one.....

I like! Beautiful!

It would look go anywhere on your body. Can't wait to see photos.

Mushanga said:

no not at all! my other ideas were at the top of my back or my neck.

i need kicking too, for sure. gotta find a shop i like that doesn't have a months-long waiting list.

I need one more in honour of the last major event in my life.
I love the one you have chosen....A LOT!

MrsMdiver said:

i always knew i would have a geek tattoo someday

do you have any ideas for yours yet?

on your hip, front to back.


you're welcome.

evenstar3 said:

No, not yet. I need to get my body back in shape first.
Maybe I will wait til next year when I am 40.

JerseyKRS said:

i don't get it...

MrsMdiver said:

psh, you don't look anywhere near 40, and that's what counts

Where ever you think it will look good when you're 50.

JerseyKRS said:

Or upper thigh / side og glute area

RodeoSchro said:

yup! also something i'm taking into consideration

evenstar3 said:

I mean, get it on your hip, starting at the front of your hip, going around the side, ending on the back of your hip.



it would look cool.

JerseyKRS said:

lemme alone, i'm hungover and slow today

i like the idea, but it wouldn't look good on my hips.

tattoos were cool in the eighties.
Now they're very common, conservative middle-class types luv 'em.

but of course there are always exceptions.

What does it mean in english though? You should check dat cuz maybe it says

"Made in China" or something.

Anyway, put it on your inner thigh and wear a mini skirt.

LOL.

it means "the road goes ever on and on". i'm 100% positive about the translation.

evenstar3 said:

what about that phony but ironically talented glam rock band, sorry I can't remember their name. They had a hit song a couple of years ago, the song was called "1 way ticket to hell and back" I'd betcha that'd look good in elvish.


The band were called "the darkness"

my spelling can be pretty bad and I know it. That's probably why whenever I hear of an unfortunate who has a tattoo with a spelling mistake always cracks me up.

I actually once got to know a fella who had a faded spider web tattoo on his face, center of the web was between his eyes. He sometimes said that he regretted having had it done. After so many years of no contact I still feel sorry for him.
