Re: Tattoo idea
you will regret getting something like that, trust me
ive got 7, 5 of which are rather large.
Why get your birthday ? is it incase your drunk one night and forget
Pick something small at first, then take it from there

Re: Tattoo idea
i have 10 tattoos and counting , dont regret any of them, although sometimes i think i should had something bigger/better on my arms, but still im happy with what i got.
birthdate is a ok idea if you like that sort of thing, but its a bit over kill in roman numerals imo.
would look weird and out of place, so i say have a good think about.
you can do what i done once, get someone to draw it on and colour it in in felt tip and leave it on for the day, see how you like the look of it etc, but imo, i would advise againt it, its gunna be something you will regret later on i reckon

Did anyone see that thing in the news about the guy that broke into a police trap car, and he had his name and DOB tattoed on his neck? Pretty easy to catch him, dosy fucker!! Must have been in case he forgot or something!

Re: Tattoo idea
Its like when people get their own name tattooed on their back, is that so when some guy has them bent over, pumping their rusty sherrifs badge they know who it is
But seriously mate, think long and hard about it, i dont regret any of my tatoos, but the positioning could have been better, as it stopped me from doing other more elaborate ones due to something being in the way
Oh and please dont get a chinese symbol
Best bet is to go into a parlour, and look at the designs in there, pick a few that you really like, and if you cant decide, have something created

Re: Tattoo idea
I reckon if you get that many roman numerals down your arm it could nearly look like a barcode! But like others said, have a good think first. Cover ups usually look s**t

Re: Tattoo idea
I've got shooting stars on my hip sort of area, and anyone that says it doesn't hurt is a god damn liar!! I had a hells angel do mine and when he said 'right you're all done.' I burst into tears as it hurt so much
Having said that however, I would like another one to do with Max (my son). We had the bible quote 'every good and perfect gift comes from above' put on his christening stationary, cake etc etc as we thought that summed up what he means to us and is true when it comes to children. So I'd like that somewhere but:
1. it'll have to be small otherwise I won't get to the end of the sentance
2. no idea where to have it done and
3. it will hurt like mad

Re: Tattoo idea
none of my tattoos really hurt that much, smarted a little but n ot too bad, apart from a rather large black dragon snaking up my back, 4 and a half hours i was in the chair, let me tell you ive never been so pleased to here the words " your all done mate "
M440 if your looking for an area that is not really painful, the top of your arm is the best bet

Surely if your just walking into a shop and picking one off the wall it defeats the whole point of a tattoo... i'm going next week sometime, when i get a min
I have had one of mine designed for over a year but i have left it that long to see if i change my mind... if i havent in a year then i know i am pretty sure to go and get it... i'm in the process of designing another when i have finished it i will leave it a year and then go get it...
Good idea above tho of someone drawing it on you... I have had mine on me in henna which lasted 3 weeks and i still love it...
Not much of a tatto idea, more like advice
