Getting my first tattoo

[tyven]

ok now show stomach and lets move this to the eyecandy for ladies thread

lol

I want to get a tat done sometime, but really have no idea how much it would cost. I figured I would get a geisha done on my back shoulder or something along those lines.

Can we make this thread more about tattoos and less about jesus, gay, and italy?

I have been meaning to get something done for my wife, but I can't decide between two choices:

I have always liked the old school naked-lady type (think Sailor Jerry) tattoos, the ones that look like pin-up girls. I want one with my wife's name, only customized a bit to look more like her (high heels, short skirt, tattoos, eyeliner, something like that). So that the girl looks less old fashioned and more modern, but still has the same inspiration. And not naked, but close.

At the same time, I also think it would be funny to get a big ball and chain, with her name on the ball. I could do some interesting/cool-looking things with the chain, and it would be hilarious.

So I'm torn. Suggestions welcome.

I love Sailor Jerry. The old school, pin-up style is classic to me. You might hate me for saying this, but I would not put your wife's name on it. The pin-up that looks like her would be a great idea, but if you are going to get a name, make sure it is something that can be easily covered up. The only names that are a sure bet for tattoo's are your parents, kids, and respective Gods. Everything else is iffy.

I think getting significant other's names tattoo'd is a huge mistake, depending on the situation. If you've been married for 30 years, then sure go for it. If you've been married for less than 20 years, it doesn't seem like a smart decision at all.

But hey people get really retarded tattoos all the time. Get whatever you want.

Anyone but your child's name is a bad idea, imo.

If you want something for your wife, do this:

what happens when the wife gets overweight in her 40s and her arm is 4x the size of the man's...... then it'll look funny

Then you married the wrong bitch. You have to know what you're getting before you do the deed lol. If shes lazy as fuck, hates cleaning, likes sleeping a shit ton and is a home body when she's 23 then god forbid you see her when she hits 40.

Take nothing for granite.

normally i agree about getting someone's name tattooed, but i think this one is a pretty safe bet. for starters my wife and i are older and have been together a long time. and second, this is just one of many tattoos, and plenty of them are silly and/or weird. while it would be awkward if we ever split up, it would be just one more dumb tattoo i have. i'd have far bigger financial and emotional issues if we got divorced. the tattoo would be the least of my concerns, lol.

and h^5 to miz. works the same way for women. if he lives on fast food and beer at 23, it's a pretty safe bet you'll be buying him elastic waistband Dockers when he turns 35.
