My cousin's soon-to-be ex-husband is a fantastic artist and offered to design my first tat for me. (god that sounds kinda white trash) We've had chats about what I might want and he said he could come up with a few designs that he thinks suits me and we could go from there. Like Angel mentioned above, he told me I should go for something large, make it significant

My favorite cabana server at The Park Lounge in Sacramento has the most beautiful tattoo that starts at her right shoulder blade and trails all the way down the right side of her body, ending just above her right knee. It's a vine covered in leaves and Morning Glories and it's gorgeous. Well-designed, well-inked, and easy to cover if she needs to. She said that she really wanted to have it wind all the way down to her ankle but thought it was smart to cut it a bit short in case she ever had to work somewhere where it would show. I would love to have something like that.

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

Somebody sounds like they're scared of needles :)

Kids DO love tattoos.  The second they get a peek that there is a picture on my back, they want to see the whole thing.

I am sad that my niece has had some crappy homemade tats done.  I thought I taught her better than that.

I must say that I might not have any if my ex had not been an ink slinger.

I think we can agree that having a tattoo is widespread enough that it does't make a person fundamentally unusual that they have one.

It's sheerly cosmetic. And unless you're trying to look like a circus freak, getting a tatoo is tantamount to buying a new accessory. You like the way it looks, and it visually complements your look.

So someone having ink you like is like someone wearing an outfit you like. It's aesthetic. And it's a reflection of personal taste that can vary as much or more from person to person as the books or music they like.

j, is there anything that us godless heathens do that you actually DO approve of? Or are we forever doomed to walk this earth with the blight of your distaste upon us? I'd love to hear what you think about my new piercing. That would make 7 holes in my body total so far. Opinion? Dying to know. FYI - I don't look anything like stick-figure anorexic Audrina Patridge, so there's another strike against me. Why I bother to breathe your precious air is beyond me.

I think it's straight up tacky to sit here and rail on people for getting tattoos. It really is. Get a better hobby than picking on other people ON THE INTERNET. I wish my days were so unfruitful that I had all the time in the world to just jab at people for a personal decision they made about their own bodies. Judge judge judge. Jesus christ, it gets old. Get a life, folks.

This is the future of tattoos:

Audrina has fake boobs. Megan Fox has fake boobs. You wouldn't even know if a non-vixen had fake boobs. I think I went off about this on another thread, the word natural doesn't mean anything in civilization.

96% of women DYE THEIR HAIR. Most people from middle class upbringings HAD BRACES. Everyone WEARS DEODORANT, BATHES instead of wallowing in their "natural" funk, wears CONTACT LENSES, and *gasp* anyone who's on TV is COVERED IN MAKEUP. You probably TAKE VITAMINS every day and MEDICINE when you get sick. Those who aren't comfortable with their god-given body types GO TO THE GYM. (caps for emphasis)

Admit you what you're talking about is the illusion of natural, which takes more artifice than any kind of deliberately obvious affectation.

We're trying to remind you that this isn't in person, and sarcasm is about timing. No one can tell you're being sarcastic when it's your only mode.

I know it's HIGH-larious to get on a Twin Peaks forum, full of quirky people, and tell everyone how weird you AREN'T just to stand out. Pot, meet kettle. Jesus.

See? That's sarcasm. It's an art that has to do with timing, not just saying whatever the fuck you want and expecting everyone else to get it, then whining when they don't.

Shall we just assume you're a clown that shouldn't be taken seriously at all? We should just interpret everything you post as meaning the opposite?

That's a fun game. It really has a point. I means it. So J loves tattoos and has a whole lot of them, and had a boner with a cheeseburger on the end of it for fake-tittied, tattooed hookers. But simply saying that wouldn't be obscure and eccentric enough. Ho! Ho! Sarcasm rules!

I've been on the defensive, not the offensive here.

Thanks for making a board I've enjoyed for years a hostile environment.

I'm out.

Audrina has a tattoo of the ancient Chinese symbol for sweet and sour chicken on her forearm.

Megan Fox has Marilyn Monroe's face tattooed on hers.
