Every one and their grandmother has a tattoo these days so yeah, tattoos are pretty much becoming a teeny fad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one and their grandmother has a tattoo these days so yeah, tattoos are pretty much becoming a teeny fad.You're clearly right, a centuries old practise is clearly a teeny fad...There are many great reasons for getting tattoos, each as individual as the person getting them. I also see nothing wrong with getting a particular for no other reason than you think it looks cool - the only person who should care, is the person getting it.I got the Axl/Jesus tattoo as I just got a kick out of it, have been a Guns fan for over 20 years, and knew my artist would nail it.Each to their own :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 So many people have tattoos these days you actually are "different" if you don't have them now. Tattoos have been around for a long time but over the past 15 years or so there has been an explosion of people, particularly women, getting them solely because some celebrity got one. It has become fashionable to do this and as we all know, fashion dies but style lasts forever. Unfortunately so do tattoos. 20 years from now there's going to be a fuckload of middle aged fat people waddling around covered in disgusting faded tattoos. I flat out refuse to date any chick with a tattoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leddy Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Like I said, a tattoo needs to be no more meaningful than its what the person wanted. Trouble, is, people watch Miami Ink and think every tattoo needs a heartfelt monologue to be valid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Trouble, is, people watch Miami Ink and think every tattoo needs a heartfelt monologue to be valid...haha so true! If you don't have a 10 minute story to tell with your tattoo, your tattoo is a joke lolPeople get tattoos for all kinds of reasons. It doesn't have to make sense to anyone else.

Black Sabbath Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Bump. Still looking for a picture of Subsy's tat.Also, great looking tattoos to Leddy and Downzy!I'm trying to gather ideas for my own Gn'R tattoo, whenever I decide to get it. I'd like to integrate the red-monsters from the original Appetite cover as well as the person from the Ilusion albums. I want to get some Chinese Democracy era related stuff in there too, just not sure how (inb4addingthebike). Thinking either the Red Hand or a couple of the little red men. I've got some time to think about it because I don't plan on getting that for awhile from now, but figured I'd still bump the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerousCurves Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'm glad this got bumped. I would also like to get a GNR tat. I figure I'm either going subtle and doing something not immediately obvious or I'm just gonna go whole hog and get an AFD cross. I don't give a shit what other people think, I'm not getting a tat for other people's perusal. As far as the negative comment a few pages back about people having hidden tats, I don't have a choice. I have a respectable career. My tats are for me anyway, not for anyone else. I don't need to flash my ink or piercings for other people to know how "cool" I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I think I'm going to get the UYI drawer on my left, inner bicep, and the Appetite monster on my shoulder. Trying to figure out the best way to incorporate CD into it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
