Tattoos, Body Art, Body Piercings, Body Modification Thread

I got a couple tattoos. One of them has a significance to me, but that dont mean they all have to. Nothing wrong with getting a tattoo just 'cause it looks nice. As long as it does look nice though. And not something like...

I also dont find the appeal of huge tattoos with lots of different colors. Minimalistic ones are easier on the eyes.

I plan on getting a few more later on when I got money, but nothing big.

That pic reminds me of a guy at my university who has mario game designed arm and leg sleeves. Shit sounds cool but looks horrible

Lots of tattos sound like nice ideas on paper, but end up looking anal.

Anyone here have pictures of their tattoos?

Anyway, as for me, I'll be getting two tattoos the coming Saturday. One line on each bicep at approximately sleeve height, in Pulsian script (see: Final Fantasy XIII) which make relevance to my own life. Something that I want to live by now is creating my future with my right arm as my left bares my past, which in turn is why my tattoo(s) of choice is/are on the right arm "While reaching for the future", and on the left "We sometimes fall into the past".

Me being astronomy-obssessed I might get tattoos representing the stars that make up the constellation Orion. The biggest star will be the biggest tattoo, and so forth down the sizes, but I don't think I could get them to scale - I'd also have them reflective of the star's actual colours/appearance. If I do get those tattoos, at the very least I'd get the two of the shoulders and three of the belt. Don't know how a tattoo would feel or look on the back of my neck or near my knees.

the only tattoos i am seriously considering are a deathly hallows symbol tattoo (i dont wanna go into how much i love harry potter), or this:

which is the sag zodiac sign. i would LOVE to get either one on the skin between my thumb and index finger, but there's that whole bit about being a professional and not having something you can't cover up. so i'm pretty much at a dead end.

It'd be refreshing to see a constellation which isn't the southern cross. Man I hate those tattoos.

I'm not opposed to the idea of getting a tattoo myself; I just haven't given it much thought. If I do get one, it'll probably be something simple -- covering my right deltoid, max. I'll mull over design details later, but I'll really like tribal tattoos. They're clean and elegant.

That tattoo is freaking sweet looking. It just needs something to transition into his back....it feels weird that it just cuts off at the shoulder.

I've definitely got a "to each their own" attitude, and it's not hard for me to find much of it attractive, at least in moderation. I actually have a couple tattoos, myself:

The latter being from just this year.

and he's got some other stuff already going on at his back. I think it's a nice balance, and I definitely appreciate the consistent palette.

I'm pretty seriously repulsed by piercings, tattoos, etc

What about body modifications that have become mainstream, like female earrings?

So... what do you guys think about people like that? Who donate tattooed skin, and such.

Anyone altruistic enough to donate their body, or parts of it, for a cause greater than themselves has my full respect. I really hope that guy from the Guinness Book of World Records with the full-body leopard tattoo preserves his body in some way so future generations can admire it, in the flesh, so to speak.

This is the first time I'm seeing this guy's front and back profile. I'm really digging the tat going up his spine. I would probably dig it more if it matched each spinal segment, one to one, but still kept the variation in circle size.

Certain piercings are okay to me. Earrings are fine. But things like gauges... no thanks.

And pretty much any tattoo is fine to me. Even full-body tattoos. In fact, I find those the most entertaining.

 

[Hamster Lord]

ugh I can't stand gauges. looks like your raping your ears.

 

[Turn]

I kind of love gauges, as long as they aren't outrageously huge. I've thought about getting them for myself, too, but I'm not sure how I feel about the process.

 

[Ip Man]

Here's one of mine

I dont think I have a pic of my other one, but it's Bruce Lee's JKD symbol and its the one that actually reflects a part of my life.

I plan on getting a few more come winter time. Just need to think of designs.

Tattoos don't really bother Mel but I'm never gonna get one.
Maybe if it wasn't against my religion though, I'd probably get something on my bicep.
I love when girls do this though:

That's pretty hot

lol tramp stamps

Im the same, though I think I like plugs more than I like gauges. Wait are they the same and tunnels are the third kind? Either way ones that look sort of reasonable, as in, not actually hurting the ears I think look pretty cool. Though I woudn't get them just because of work etc.

This makes me want to get some kind of mechanical/augmented spine tattoo now.

 

[Solar]

Never really liked earrings or piercings of any kind, doubt I ever will. Same thing with tattoos.


Some sub-sets and things in particular I find attractive (yes tramp stamps, henna, fatima's hands, and belly piercings can look attractive) but not something I'd ever do for myself. While I'm into self-expression, not into something solid and lasting. Write on smoke on a passing breeze and all that.

That is one snazzy looking dragon.

Yesssssssss.

How do you feel about the people who do do it?

Spoiler Show

I don't know if I find them particularly attractive, but they sure are interesting to look at. These people should make a career out of modeling for anatomy classes.
