Wow that Alice in Wonderland tattoo is erm...well, big.

I have two tattoos (heart on my hip and my own design on the inside of my right forearm) and I'm massively addicted!! I wanna get a tattoo of like lace on my back, but I need to save up the money to get it first...

for years now i've wanted to get a feather along the edge of the top of my foot and the last line of the poem of "the wasteland" ("shantih shantih shantih")in it's original hindi script. the feather doesn't have any major meaning to me, i just find them to be really beautiful. i've done research on what the word shantih (or shanti) means in reference to hindu religion and i really like the idea of it meaning peace (in t.s. eliots notes for the wasteland he says it means "the peace that passeth understanding", for one example) and being able to express the idea of peace without having a lame peace sign tattoo'ed on my body like 99% of the teenaged population think is cool. plus... i love love love literature, especially literature of the 1920's so. hahah. it would be even more awesome. only hesitating due to lack of funds and... not gonna lie, idk if having a religious line on display like that would offend followers of the faith in question. :/

I don't ever plan on getting a tattoo, seeing as I'm such a believer in change, and always evolving, and thus, I sincerely doubt I'd ever want someone inked on me forever. Therefore I just stick with henna, which I love.

And while I'm often not even a fan of tattoos on others, sometimes I come across someone who has an especially amazing tattoo, hope you don't mind I share a couple here...

Love Justin Vernon's (aka Bon Iver) tattoo:

And I really like Devendra Banhart's tattoos, the two suns on his chest, and the red lines around his arms, I like how all his tattoos are symmetrical.

Here you can see the one he has on both his arms better:

I mainly seem to be drawn to tattoos that are basic geometric type shapes or simple writing. I don't like tattoos to be overly large or gaudy and colorful, don't know, just looks tacky to me. Subtlety is key.

Those are so tacky

 

[Zzyzx]

some are hilarious, but why the hell would you do that to yourself? plus I think that's the tackiest place for a tat on a woman.

Oh my eeww. You know how we have an "Ugliest Shoes You've Ever Seen" thread? We should have one for tattoos too. That will bring the lolz.

[myown]

I have 4 tattoos and love them all. :3

Tattoos for me are like chapters to my life. Every tattoo represents something about me and my life. I don't get a tattoo jut to get a tattoo. If I want something on my body all my life, I want it to mean something.
