Hi.

I've been wanting to get a tattoo for years now, yes years. However, I'm indecisive on what I should get. So I'm leaving it up to you guys. Yep, muddy here is tired of searching on the internet for tattoos, besides I'm not very creative when it comes to art.

Here are something things I do not want:

•Nothing religious: no crosses, no Jesus, no Buddha-- etc.
•No commemorative tattoos: no R.I.P. Michael Jackson, no R.I.P Bernie Mac-- etc.
•Nothing too girly: no dolphins jumping into the sea, no koi fish, no butterflies landing on flowers, or rainbows, or unicorns.
•Nothing in languages I don't speak: no Sanskrit, no Chinese-- etc. I prefer English, but French is okay

I love designs. I'm open to passages from literature or sayings. I'm open to everything except for what listed above.


Well hope you can help.

I promise to post the picture of me getting the tattoo, and the final result right on here.

Joe. I'm not a portrait kind of person. I don't like them - just my opinion. I want the get her name and birth date tattooed on my wrist.. that tattoo is already going to be done

I don't think portraits often do the person justice. Here is an example:




Slapshot: Funny about ribcage tattoos -- I hear they are now called "hoe handle[s]".

Ha, that's a new one, but's still better than a tramp stamp.

I wouldn't get a tramp stamp. I would want more of a belt tattoo:



It basically wraps around your hips, lower back and lower abs...

I dig that. Start doing some research of artists in your area.

They can look quite effective, plus they are easy to hide.

This is just personal but I don't like shoulder or arm tattoos because if you need to go to a classy even and wear a cocktail dress you would have your tatts hanging out... not a good look.

Mine are in the same spot as that picture but they don't wrap around, they're just on each side of my stomach.

What ones have you liked so far Muddy?

I really like the tattoo bear showed me in page 1. On page 2 I like the roses XOXO put-- but I'd like that around my hips instead... I also like K I S S' idea to get my avatar as my tattoo.

Yeah, I love the roses, pretty but tough!

this looks like the one you posted but it's on the hips

I really like these;

Oooh I like that first one Alty, that would look really good on skin, especially if you added some shading so it looked like the skin was over the picture.
