Does anyone here have any interesting tattoos (or other forms of body modification), or plan on getting one soon ? I'm hoping to get a fairly large design featuring Cthulhu inked across my back, beginning below my nape and extending over my shoulder-blades, with his tentacles draped across a temple travelling down the length of my spine.

Of course, I'm not particularly eager to contract AIDS, so I can't actually consider getting it done until I move to a country with licensed artists and such, but the intent is certainly there.

I have my last name on the bottom portion of my left leg, and a dragon on my left arm. i should put some pictures up.

You should. =]

does anyone here watch Miami Ink on cable? Great show and fantastic tattoo artists...

yeah, i watch it. alittle to overrated though. and tattoo's always look better the day when you get it. im probably going to get another tattoo next month. oh btw, it always hurts.

Why would I modify perfection? ;)

I'm somewhat of an aspiring tattoo artist myself, actually. I've talked it over with an old friend of mine who works in a piercing studio and she thinks I should definitely go for it. So again, as soon as I move to a "western" country, I'll be looking into getting trained. Yay me.

tattoo artists make a lot of cash. more then half are rip offs, if you ever become a tattoo artist... i'll let you draw.

nope not really... i am getting a piercing though..

that shits for the weak.
