tattoo placement

[CD5Passion]

Ok tomorow I may be going to get my tattoo, my middle name (tadashi) in it's Japanese character, I drew it up about 3" tall and 2" wide. Ok so here is the my problem, I'm not sure where to put it, either on back of shoulder or between my shoulder blades help me out a bit folks

on your upper arm

[CD5Passion]

I think it may look goofy cause my arm isnt all too big..not sure I'm also gonna ask my friend who used to work at a tat shop...decisions are hard specially one with permanent crap

[DsBlu01CivEX]

yah I had a really hard time trying to figure out what I was going to get and where I was going to get it. I'd suggest right between your shoulder blades. But that's probably gonna hurt like hell bein' over your spine and all....so if you don't have a fairly high tolerance for pain, then i'd say go with your shoulder blade. That's where I have mine, and I didn't think it hurt at all. But that's just me.

i'd do the shoulder blade with that size, or maybe on your calf? if you shrunk it a little i'd go back of the neck.

[a96710]

Calf would be cool, if you're goin for the back though I'd get it on the shoulder blade.

[silver]

heres an example of back of the neck
it's my ex, well at least she serves some other purpose in addition to tormenting me mentally.

[MAXed Out]

shoulder blade.

Between the shoulder blades burns like a mofo. Shoulder blade itself isn't too bad. And yes, I speak from experience for both locations.

[mylittlecivic]

i think the shouder blade would be cool

[DsBlu01CivEX]

I was going to suggest the back of the neck as well...but the dimensions are way to big for that right now as it stands.

here's mine.hopefully this works

[Grip72]

hmm this one should work

[CD5Passion]

I actually got it between my blades folks and I love it, I'll try to get a picture up

it didnt hurt too bad, the only part I could've gone without was when he just touched the shoulder blade..I wanted it to be where i wouldn't have to worry about getting jobs

[CD5Passion]

it alittle glazed from A&D ointment but you get the idea

[Grip72]

that's alright man..what does it mean again?

Looks good the size I think looks good between your blades. Good choice

[guywithastang]

All over your body is cool

[CD5Passion]

haha yeah it means Tadashi (or loyal and faithful if you were to take it apart)
glad to have approval
now that I am addicted I want more lol

[silver]

that looks sick, let me know if you're gonna get another, i might come with and tat myself up

[Grip72]

i know, after having one tattoo, it makes me want another one..but i have no idea what i would want......did my tattoo picture show up?

[DsBlu01CivEX]

yah they're hella addicting. I want at least 1 more if not 2. But mine all gotta mean something to me....so I'm still trying to decide what to get. It took me 3 years the first time to decide exactly what i wanted....and it's been like a year and a half since I got my first one. So...yah it looks like it'll be another 3 before i get my second one.

My one friend should have thought about that before getting her tattoos. She has a tattoo on each of her arms and now she has to either wear long sleeves or 3/4 sleeved shirts to work....even during the summer.

[CD5Passion]

Yeah unless its on the upper arm I am not tating my arm

Silver I'll take you up on that man, but it may be a bit cause I thought about that one for some time, and I want something that I won't regret, and also I'm poor lol

no hurry, i should be getting my tongue pierced this weekend so i don't want to ravage my body all at once.

[CD5Passion]

haha love the word choice, suddenly though I feel the need for a piercing

[AkimboStylee]

ive got my eyebrow done, it hurts more to get your ear pierced than it does to get your eyebrow pierced, but it does make you cry, because of the nerve endings it makes your eye water.

[Grip72]

i kind of want my lip pierced..but i'm not really "punk" enough..plus my friends would NEVER let me live it down.i might do eyebrow or my nipple when i get a better body

and yes, between the shoulder blades does hurt a bit but not too bad, less then i expected. It only felt like a tiny drill when he was tatting over my spinal area...

[AkimboStylee]

i goy the web pierced, which is thing on the bottom of your tongue that rund vrtical, it has that little saliva gland, didn't even feel it

[CD5Passion]

ew man...I think I want my eyebrow peirced but I'm gonna take time and give it some thought before I run off to do it

[Grip72]

that's an odd peircing

looks great. You already said it though, it's addicting, time for more. I only have one I regret because I get strange looks from the suits at work when I wear a short sleeved shirt, but I love all the rest of them. One on my upper right arm of a phoenix breaking through the clouds that I got right after I went out on my own when i was 18 to signify my freedom. I have a snake strangling a heart with a flaming dagger on it, kind of a spur of the moment thing after a girlfriend of 3 years told me over the phone she was screwing someone else, and I happened to been in brazil(I was in the navy). I have a HUGE panther on my left thigh that was just one of those "yeah why not" tats. During desert storm we were under water for almost 8 months and about half way through one of the guys built a prison tatt gun and starting inking anyone who wanted it, I found a pic of the panther in a tatt mag and he hooked it up. OMFG did it hurt, I was bleeding soooo bad, but it turned out really nice, it's getting a bit old and I think I'm going to have it touched up and the eyes done red(it's done with india ink). It's pretty big, it starts at teh top of my quad and the tail wraps around my knee with the claws reaching half way around my thigh The worst one out of all of them is my popeye style tat, I have a set of dolphins on my forearm, the symbol of a submariner(also know as "fish"), I like it, but like I said the stuffy folks at work get edgy when they see it, plus now that I'm in the real world, there's not much significance to being a being a former sailor.

Next one after I get the kitty cleaned up will probably be my family crest on my chest.
