Since we're talking tattoos...

[ghostsofgiants]

Tribal.



Yea or nay?

[KitchenWitch]

1. Not that one

[Crazy Dave]

2. This one?

[KitchenWitch]

3. sorry, not into face tatts

Or neck tatts for that matter.

[Crazy Dave]

4. I knew that

That was me just being plain silly :crazy:

[ghostsofgiants]

5. He will rip your heart out and eat your kids.

[cassandra uprising]

12. I think neck tattoos are incredibly sexy

but then again, I also think facial scars are sexy too.

:freak:

[no name no slogan]

15. How about cigarrette burns?

[XemaSab]

6. That's SO 98

:eyes:

[ghostsofgiants]

7. What are the trendy tattoos for the 21st century, anyway?

[XemaSab]

8. Dude, don't get a trendy tattoo

Get something you really like that for you is timeless.

[ghostsofgiants]

16. Haha, oh, don't worry, I'd never get a trendy tattoo.

I'm just curious as to what the trendy tattoo style is these days.

[PittPoliSci]

9. not unless you're part of the tribe.

[cassandra uprising]

10. meh

That's my vote. I'm not the biggest fan of tribal tattoos.

[ghostsofgiants]

21. Yeah, the same for me...

But I'm in a polarizing mood today. :evilgrin:

[grimble_grumble]

11. if you get a tribal tatoo...

...you better know the meaning of it.

[cassandra uprising]

13. Nice answer

And welcome to DU :hi:

[grimble_grumble]

17. Thanks...

...been lurking for a long time and decided to get active.

[Montauk6]

14. Nay to this and ALL tattoos!

The ultimate symbol of march-in-step conformity, IMHO.

[no name no slogan]

18. If I'm stabbing myself with needles

I want to make sure there's something in them besides ink

[EstimatedProphet]

19. That's a bit much

I like the design, but it's too big

[LaraMN]

20. I LOOOOVE tattooes on a man, but that one's a bit much for my taste.

Assuming that's a man, of course.

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. TOO big. It really is. Get a nice heart with "Mom" or something.

:P

[jane_pippin]

23. Every sorority girl/frat boy in the universe seems to have tribal tattoos

so Nay. They can look neat on people, and I don't have a problem with the design in and of itself really, but I think if everyone has one then what's the point? May as well just get a "Taz" tattoo, or a "Calvin pissing on (insert rival football team logo here)" then.

I just think that in general, if you're going to get a tattoo it should mean something to you outside of "I want one and it looks cool." I'm a curmudgeon that way, I guess.

And yeah, I have tattoos. I might even get more one of these days.

[ghostsofgiants]

24. You've summed it up quite nicely, I think.

What are your tattoos?

[jane_pippin]

27. Thanks. One of them is a thistle design--it's just all black but I

want to find a way to add something around it. Maybe smaller thistles in color or something. I don't know. I haven't really thought too hard about what to add yet. There's no rush.

The other is a hummingbird on a cherry blossom branch with my grandma's name under it. I got the image from an old dictionary and, oddly enough, it turns out my grandma had almost the same image in her porcelain figurine collection (she loved little birds, she was little, it makes sense). I got the tattoo done just before she died while she was going though her last treatments for cancer. It hurt like a bitch, but I just kept thinking of what she must have felt like and then it wasn't so bad.

[ghostsofgiants]

28. Those sound really nice.

:)

[jonnyblitz]

25. Primate, NEVER ask for tattoo advice on DU.

seriously. they are ((((clueless))). it's like asking for sex advice on a fundie discussion board.

get what you WANT. it's ALL subjective.

[ghostsofgiants]

26. Hahaha, I'm not asking for tatoo advice.

I know what I want. It's definitely not a tribal, haha. I was just stirring the pot a little.

[tigereye]

29. I really liked the way some of these tattoos looked

before they became cliches. I think when you see them on everyone, they lose their uniqueness. I suppose the same could be said for the ubiquitous Celtic ones, the kanji symbols, etc. I like seeing unique and artistic ones, though.

note, I do not have any tattoos.
