strukt Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Thanks -- hopefully this one will turn out fine and I'm definetly getting another as soon as I find the design I want....well I know what I want but have to put it together as 1 image and I can't draw I could help you compile the images together through photoshop (if you have the images accessible on computer) if you'd like.

cobalt1 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Just a heads up, a "shock" or "lightningbolt" symbol could be construed as white power. I'm in no way saying it's anything other than what you got it for, But.... I personaly have over 50 on my arms, chest, back and upper & lower legs. I don't regret any of them because for the most part, they commemorate key points (or ages), in my life. Of course i DO have a few that i wish i could have removed. You have to consider that later in life, what you thought was cool may no longer BE cool. You also have to worry about employers (and prospective employers) and what they might think. Stay away from the backs of your hands, your neck and Defitnitly!!!!!!! your face. :beer: To your first tattoo! Link to post Share on other sites
cobalt1 Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 HaHa, I'm 60. You wouldn't want to be with any of the people I hang around with. Shoulder hair is the least of the problems. I'm pushing 45 and have never woried about back hair, (it's the nose and ear hair thats creeping up on me) Oh, and the wild eyebrows Link to post Share on other sites

bigchrome Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Do tatoos still look good when they get stretched? The only tatoo i'd like is a barcode on my neck. Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Do tatoos still look good when they get stretched? The only tatoo i'd like is a barcode on my neck. Go to walmart and tell them you'd like to return something and have them scan your neck. Maybe you're worth more than you thought. Link to post Share on other sites
strukt Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) Do tatoos still look good when they get stretched? The only tatoo i'd like is a barcode on my neck. Most people who get a barcode as a tattoo are usually criminals.... and i doubt u are one lol. Edited August 4, 2006 by strukt Link to post Share on other sites
TracyLynn Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 be careful on the barcode thing. make sure you know what it is. I heard of a shop that needed a barcode for a tattoo and nothing was around. They finally found a certain feminine product under the sink in the bathroom. Guess what barcode this guy is sporting? Tampax. Link to post Share on other sites
aeroman10 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 I could help you compile the images together through photoshop (if you have the images accessible on computer) if you'd like. That would be cool. I only have 1 image so far: http://www.metallica.com/ivergence/image/n...tarsticker2.jpg The rest is just a concept - I wanted to see if its possible to have an eagle perched on top draped in the American Flag. I am guessing the eagle has the be drawn on -- I am not sure how that will look...maybe not too great. Another thing that I was thinking about getting is the letter "S" symbol that Slipknot uses ... not because of the band but because my first name starts with an "S" and the design looks good - http://www.metal-x.i8.com/images/slipknot_logo.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
aeroman10 Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hehe..this is funny..I bet this guy is regretting his tat or atleast the writing.. http://www.worth1000.com/entries/154000/154126LQsp_w.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
aeroman10 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Hey, I thought I would bring up this thread to ask a question... What is a good time to wait before shaving over the area that is tattooed. It has been 2.5 weeks now - is it safe to shave the inked area? Link to post Share on other sites

What is a good time to wait before shaving over the area that is tattooed. It has been 2.5 weeks now - is it safe to shave the inked area? Why would u want to shave the inked area? :S but.. yea, for whatever reasons they may be... should be safe to shave the area now. Just be gentle.

It has been 2.5 weeks now - is it safe to shave the inked area? As soon as you decide you want to start cultivating a beard on your arm. Seriously don't start shaving the area, you will eventually end up with a beard growing out of your arm Link to post Share on other sites
aeroman10 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well, they shaved that area to start off with so now I may have to do it but I was actually going to touch up the ink a little bit while at the same time getting something else that I have so just wanted to know how long to wait Link to post Share on other sites
8210GUY Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 TBH I wouldn't touch it, when\if you get it retouched or expand it with more they will deal with it,otherwise just leave it, the more you shave the thicker it comes back which was the previous hint lol. Link to post Share on other sites
hftmrock Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) the more you shave the thicker it comes back which was the previous hint lol. Myth The part of the hair we style is already dead. The living sections lie below the surface of the scalp. Cutting or shaving the extreme end of the dead section isn't going to have an impact on the parts that are alive. Go forth to shave and trim as much as you like — you will not be affecting the intrinsic nature of your hair. Edited August 16, 2006 by hftmrock Link to post Share on other sites
aeroman10 Posted August 16, 2006 Author Share Posted August 16, 2006 Myth Awsome...thanks for clearing things up - I don't want dreadlocks on my arms ...lol So how did that myth spread - I'm on my PDA so I didn't read the Snopes page...Is it a scare tactic? Link to post Share on other sites
PowerChucker Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Here are my tat's, one on each leg.. they are both over 10 years old. the pics are bad, taken with camera phone.. they really are alot nicer in person. Link to post Share on other sites

I believe it spread because when the hair first grows the end of the hair is thin. when you cut it via razor or scissors it appears thicker because the tip is cut off. Not sure any other reason why the myth grew. actually before I read the snopes article for you today I was not sure myself. Link to post Share on other sites
Joe C Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I was told to use baby oil on my tats, I have one that's almost 30 yrs old now and the red and yellow faded,but the black and shading still looks decent Link to post Share on other sites

The sun is notorious for fading tats Link to post Share on other sites
aeroman10 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 (edited) I got my second tattoo plus I had a line touched up on the first. That will be it for now. I like tattoos but in moderation. I am really happy with the way this one came out.
