Can tattoos be effay?
I'm thinking about getting one soon
no
its just marking yourself as lowclass
>>8802774
no there not; theyll go out of style (remember those chest pieces/dimonds/hello kitty related stuff, that every scenester had in 2007)
>>8802774
They can be, but it has to be something timeless as fuck, and extremely high quality (no $20 tattoos)
if you have a tattoo
you are a trashy sub-human
Tattoos are degenerate. I take pride in not having any tattoos
they can't be some little simplistic shit just assigned randomly to some part of your body, they have to either have a meaning, or be artistic in some way. and you have to carry them with confidence, not some gay ass fucking paper airplane on the right shoulder
I got this February.
>>8802841
lmfao how the hell am I going to be alienated for being normal? I'm proud to have clear skin.
>>8802843
What does it mean? Or am I just stupid.
>>8802851
Heima means "at home" in Icelandic.
>>8802848
Not suggesting YOU would be socially alienated, just that some tats will hopefully keep your smug attitude and perfect skin far away from me.
>>8802848
>proud of being "normal"
way to set the bar
>>8802843
Nice font is nice.
>>8802843
cute font, but tumblrcore as fuck
>>8802874
>my point still stands
That's not a point. It's a grammatical nitpick.
You sound like someone who has achieved so little all they have to be proud of is what they're 'not' doing that would be worse.
>>8802874
>Millenials, everyone.
>tattoos

wut, I agree 90% of tattos are shit, trashy, and retarded, but you're obviously way too dense on the subject
was thinking about doing a stick-n-poke somewhere on my abdomen, like just 3 dots in a triangle. so that when chicks ask me if i have i can be like yea and then they see my ottermode body

I'm gonna get this on my wrist, opposite hand of the one I wear my watch on, but in the spot where a watch would be. Eventually, I'll have small text wrapped around it that says "Not all who wander are lost"
>>8803097
>Eventually
why not just get it at the same time?
>>8803097
>"Not all who wander are lost"
Jesus anon, can't you find a more overused line than that?
>>8803097
pls don't do the text
>>8802774
Tattoos are for attention-seekers

>>8802843
Shit, hate stuff like that.
Sure, its not a terrible font, but why would you write that on your neck. Stupid as fuck.
99% of tattoos with writing is stupid shit I would say.
what about getting a small simple triangle on a knuckle or two. Like this but smaller.
can there be the non-scumbag knuckle tattoo?
>>8803350
Do not tattoo your hands/neck/face. You WILL regret it unless you are an artist and don't need a regular job.
Also, triangle tattoos are everywhere, overdone imho.
there are plenty of semi-permaneant tattoo shit that will last weeks at a time. dont make a retarded decision without trying it first.
>>8803327
Agreed, not sure how well they would age though.

theres a porn star named kiera winters that has "STAY TRUE" on her knuckles, and then "LUST" written right above her vagina. i thought it was pretty cool.
>>8802909
Fucking rekt.
Thinking about getting the word "magis" tattooed on my forearm facing me. Don't know if it would look faggy or not.
>>8803367
I have a finger tattoo and my job does not care.
>>8803553
im sure mcdonalds dont
>>8802874
>thinks only options is normal or shittier
You've never really achieved anything worthwhile have you anon? I'd feel bad for you if you weren't such a NEET.
Well, shit, this thread got me curious.
My sister wants me to get one with her soon. We've always been characterized as Calvin and Hobbes in our family. So, I'd get Hobbes on my shoulder, and she'd get Calvin.
It doesn't seem too degenerate because it has meaning, right?
>>8803621
Lol I don't work at McDonald's
>>8803736
I say it can look very cute if done well.
>>8803736
That sounds adorable, I fucking love calvin and hobbes
>>8803736
tattoos that have meaning are outdated.
just my opinion tho.. that's cool that you are so close to your sibling
Can? Yes
Are they usually? Nope
>>8803367
>Do not tattoo your hands/neck/face. You WILL regret it unless you are an artist and don't need a regular job.
This. I have a strict rule to only get tattoos that can be completely covered with pants and a dress shirt, as long as there is even a slight chance I'll have to work a regular job again. Once I'm confident I can live off my art, though, I might get the most cliché knuckle tattoos in existence, GOOD and EVIL. Not because I'm edgy, because I really like Nick Cave.
I might also get a Bismillah on my neck. Just to make sure I'll never not be stopped and searched on airports.
>>8802774
they can but they usually look and age like shit
>>8802774
That's fucking gay
>>8802855
wow u must be cool
shitty tatts can be effay as fuck when juxtaposed against a good style/fit
see ryan gosling in TPBTP
>>8804902
Yeah well so do humans.
I'm getting this.
Not sure if I should do color or b&w.
Rate my tattoo /fa/. I got it when I graduated therapy as kind of a promise to always be happy with myself.
I like the quote and the meaning behind it but now how it looks.
>>8805787
I can understand that and thank you for the input, I hope to start adding more colorful tattoos around it and on my other arm to try and balance it out. Anything you would have done differently?
>>8803097
I would laugh in your face if I saw that tattoo with that text fucking hell
>>8805780
Working out for you?
>>8805795
I generally dislike most coloured tattoos, that's just me. Also when people use this font for tattoos there's a very high risk of it looking... "wonky". Like in the "l'intérieur" part.
But hey, it's your skin, your meaning, so rock it.
>>8805810
It's a lot more even now, that photo was taken the night I got it and my arm was all swollen and the skin was kinda stretched. Thanks for the feedback again, I hope to add some black work to my chest or legs sometime soon since classic style tattoos are actually my favorite kind. This was my first one so I went with the artist. He said if I ever want to add some black to it and try to subdue it a little or minor changes he'd do it free so I've got options.
>>8805809
It's been working out so far thanks for asking!
>>8805780
I hope it's a joke because this sentence means nothing. Does the tatoo artist put french words at random ?
>>8805838
Welp, fuck the translator I used, I mean I'm happy with it honestly.
>>8805843
you're an idiot dude, albert camus wrote that... he's french... there's original french...
>>8805851
I know who wrote it, he was actually Algerian.
I really wanna get the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.
>>8805753
I'd say black unless you are REALLY pale, then go for colour.
>>8804112
>I really like Nick Cave.
Why don't you get "Nick Cave" on your knuckles?
>>8805877
It can work or it can look like absolute shit.
>>8805857
"Dans la profondeur de l'hiver, j'ai finalement appris qu'il y avait en moi un soleil invincible."
would be correct. You re missing words and letters.
>>8803097
For the love of god please don't get that tattoo.
>>8802961
I own this book
>>8803097
Nooooooooooooooo anon don't do it man
>>8805888
>all those people with the modern cat
Oh man not a good idea
>>8805888
Probably gonna get it in black only and small.
Looking for an tattoo artist that you can really talk to and create something unique with.
>>8803097
Never get some pseudo-intellectual philosophical texts m8
Even if it's some bullshit "but it has meaning to me" explanation, they are cringeworthy anyway.

You fucked up badly. Not only it doesn't mean shit, missing words and letters everywhere ( il y a me jeter ? really ? ) but it also looks like shit.
>>8805780
Which country are you from and how did you come up with that spelling and wording of that quote?
>>8802774
No.
If you think it's cool, just get it on a shirt. That way you can just stop wearing it when you realize how juvenille and shitty it is.

What do you guys think of my friends tattoo?
>>8806768
hope he likes dick
I like mine. It's the Germanic symbol for winter solstice (when the sun finally starts re-appearing) but in a Celtic style
reminds me that the good times will always return, no matter how dark it is - but also that, no matter how bright it might be, dark times will follow
I will witness the death of my parents - but I will also witness the birth of my child. Frightening, yet soothing. And good to keep in mind to keep things in perspective.
>>8806768
Horrible
>>8806798
Are you a white supremacist?

Lol one of my ex gfs has a paw, but it was her actual cats and she's going to be a vet so it wasn't that retarded.
>>8803387
lmao this fucking tattoo are you kidding me
>>8806866
That's still pretty bad
>>8806884
Yeah, every gf I've had has stupid tattoos though. Actually almost every girl I know has one. The only girls I've met who don't have tattoos are dweebs or mormons.
>>8806798
>reminds me that the good times will always return, no matter how dark it is - but also that, no matter how bright it might be, dark times will follow
That pseudo deep justification.
>>8806893
I want a valknut just because it looks cool and I'm super germanic looking.
>>8806869
I can assure you, you fucking whimp, that any of those proto-europeans would have been more racist that any nazi of today (i.e. forget about mating with a grill outside your tribe or clan, or face total war).
It's jut funny how new age neopagans tend to think that tribes were somehow peaceful.
That's why nazis and white supremacists have the right to use those symbols, because they represent a long-gone society based on values such as strength, honor and caring of your people while basically having no mercy for others outside your race.
>>8806288
double heil hitler dubs of truth.
Swastikas confirmed for trendy again.
>>8807009
You're a fucking moron. Tribes were all ruled under a single king of the land and would go for large multi-tribe gatherings during soltice and equinox.
>>8802936
Do you understand what the 3 dots in a triangle means?
>>8804112
I have a portrait of Nick Cave on the side of my leg, do something good with it not just a shitty edgy finger tatt.
>>8807093
lol no, what
I think I'm going to get a lighthouse tattoo on my forearm in pseudo Sailor Jerry style. I know, super gay, but it's got meaning and I like the art style. What do you guys think?
>>8807512
>meaning
Fucking bitchass torchtowers got no meanin
>>8807519
It's got meaning to me is what I meant. Actually, the fact it doesn't have any real meaning feels like a selling point. I'm not in the Navy so if I got an actual Sailor Jerry tattoo, I'd look like an even bigger tool.
>>8807512
Unless you worked in a lighthouse or were saved by a lighthouse, that's gay as fuck. "Hurr check out this light up candy cane dick on my arm"
>>8807554

rough translation seems to be something like "in the depths of winter, i finally understood that there is an invincible summer in me" but it is very gramatically incorrect, something i would write in grade 6 french
I wanted to get a barcode on my right wrist with my birthdate above it in a expiration date type font. On my left arm I want to get a line of binary that wraps around my arm and reads 'commodity'.
What do you guys think?

That is bad on so many levels.
I thought that the few people who want tattoos on /fa/ at least had some good tattoo ideas.

explain how people taking things that may be very significant/sensitive to a culture, and use them out of context/in a way that can be viewed as harmful, isn't cultural appropriation?

jesus fucking /fa/'s tattoo ideas are all gay as fuck. i want to get a tattoo but i want it to have meaning so im taking a long time to build a sleeve of things that are important to me. so far its about halfway done and its pretty baller but its gonna cost more money than i can afford so ill probably have to do it piecemeal.

Anyone who gets a tattoo that "means something special" is an idiot. Everybody knows stick and poke tattoos with vague symbols, single words or pizza slices are in.
Have fun being embarrassed when you realize your "special meaning" doesn't apply to you anymore.

But I know I'd regret it.
>>8809989
That's pretty nice. It'd be great to do the whole litany in a really interesting typographical design, I think. Then again, I love the mood of the books, so I'm biased.
Does /fa/ think that getting a plain blue circle for each shoulder is a bad idea? It would be like a very minimalist tribal. I'm relatively /fit/, so i think i could pull it off.
Think Mugen from Samurai Champloo or Aang from ATLAB
