There.
The outlining hurt the most (and it didn't realy hurt at all, more the anticipation of pain), surprising actually considering there would have been literally tens of thousands of little punctures.
Gotta go back in a week or so for a 'checkup' and any touching up that might be required but I doubt there will be any need. It looks a bit patchy coz of the camera flash, because during healing the skin is a bit 3D (swolen) it looks like there are bits with more ink than others, but its all uniform.
I'm not sure, but I might get the tattoo guy to shade in the eye red/yellow.

Its all crusty now, where the top layer of inked skin is peeling off (like a sunburn).
Another couple of weeks and it will be all healed.
Good thing I'm not having any second thoughts, coz its way too fuckin late for that now :)

I constantly come across twerps who got one without thinking about it first, stupid things like girlfriend's initials or some crap from a movie they once liked. Just frigging stupid!
The funniest one I saw recently was one that spelt out "ouch" in chinese characters.

rofl nice. Yeah, I've been wanting to get one, but it is extremely low on my priority list, and I have many other things I need/want that costs cash first. Not some stupid shit either. Something like you got, some tribal flames or a reaper or yaknow. The good shit, but that isn't going to happen for years from now... and since I know I'll adjust my personality quite a few more times in the next 5 years, I plan to wait. I'm often considered mature for my age, but most likely I will mature more, as such, I should wait =)

My personality has matured about as much as its gonna.
As for the cost, simple one-color designs are cheap as chips, I expected it to be 2-3 times what it actually cost.
Tanty thinks tats are dumb?
What does he think of people getting their ears (and other bits) pierced, or getting a new haircut, women putting on makeup/perfume, or for that matter, buying a new pair of jeans or a nice shirt.
Its all the same thing; paying money to have your body's outward appearance 'modified' in some way or another.
The only thing about tats is that they're non-reversible, change your mind and you're screwed. You have to be mature to be able to seperate the whole getting a tattoo for your own personal reasons, from just looking like a fucking lame git who made a quick decision to get inked in order to follow a lame-ass trend, look tough in the eyes of some worthless mates, or some other such similar nonsense.

As long as you do it for the right reasons how can it be dumb? I've wanted one for more than 10 years, so it certainly wasn't a spur of the moment whim.

Just another pseudo initiation rite that gives the participant the misguided belief that they are getting closer to the people they admire or want to emulate, hoping to be accepted into a semi cult like society.
This can be best viewed in the practice of jail inmates who have tattoos similar to each other, or on a similar theme, hoping to gain the acceptance and therefore protection of a dominant group the new inmate aspires to join.

I'll say it again...tattoos are dumb. I'll also add, this time, that tattoos are a waste of $$.

I could totally understand it if there was some sort of major significance. It would still be dumb and a waste of $$, but at least you could look down at it and be reminded of some major part of your life. If you were in some tribe where it was a rite of passage into adulthood, then it's kinda cool. And I do mean tribe, not a gang of morons like we have here in the US. I'm talking Fiji or something.

But for westerners, especially ones getting their first tattoo, it's lame. I came out of the Marines after 6 years without a tattoo. That's pretty damn hard to do if a person isn't convinced that there's no point to them.

As for the examples you mentioned, and as you noted, a tattoo is the ONLY one that's irreversible. Even piercing is completely different because you can remove the jewelery that goes in the holes and you can hardly see it.

And then the tattoo guy says, "So? My tattoo isn't visible unless I want it to be, so there's no difference." To which I reply, "If you didn't want it to be visible, why the fuck did you get it in the first place?"

It's like smoking. People who smoke and people who have tattoos can't rationalize their behavior without sounding like idiots.

In the end, the only response can be, "It's my body and my $$, so shut the fuck up!"

Of course you DID post, so it's a bit late for that reply.

Absolutey :)
But the chances are that I'll never meet any of you guys so it doesn't really count.
If I was one of these fools who get them in the most visible place possible like those silly arm ones (esp forearms), head or on their neck then it would be a different story.

A buddy of mine has "STRENGTH" tattooed across the back of his head. As a matter of fact, of all my friends, I'm the only one without a tattoo. Its almost like things have gone 180 and NOT having a tattoo is a form of rebellion. Fuck you and your tattoo, I'm more rock-n-roll than you are.

Yeah, you know that it's gotten pretty bad when the socialite chicks with the chihuahuas in their purses have those lower back tattoos you can see above their jeans.

I gotta say that is a bit wierd!
Pity more tattoo artists don't add "SLUT" or "WHORE" or an arrow pointing downwards and a little sign saying "CUM HOLE" to those tats.
