Right before we left for NYC, I found out that I won a $100 gift certificate to a local tattoo parlor. This will be my first tattoo. What should I get a tattoo of?

― NA. (Nick A.), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

a hundred dollar bill.

― g--ff c-nn-n (gcannon), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

A tattoo of a butt on a tattoo of a butt tattooed on your butt.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Settle down Beavis.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:23 (twenty-two years ago)

anything just so long as it's on your face... this is the best place to get tats and prospective employers/girlfriends love it.

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:26 (twenty-two years ago)

A tattoo of breasts. Nothing's better than tits for tats.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

for $100 your not going to get much.

perhaps enough for a 't' - to begin the sentence:

this will look average in thirty years and i'll curse the day i won that freakin' prize.

― Chris Radford (Chris Radford), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:37 (twenty-two years ago)

a tatto of breasts on your face, that will do it nicely...

― Dave Stelfox (Dave Stelfox), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I quite fancy a new tattoo. Can I have your voucher Nick?

Damn! I'm jealous. . .

Only you can figure out why kind of tattoo you want. Think of some ideas and discuss them with your artist.

― That Girl (thatgirl), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

This one rocks.

As much random tattoo as you can get for $100!

You'd be surprised what you can get for $100. Even if you wan't something that costs more it's a good start.

Are tattoo prices cheaper in Texas, because here in Ma. they are outrageous. My tattoos were all well over $100 and they aren't even that big. My friends arm sleeve cost him $800 and its not even complete yet.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 21:14 (twenty-two years ago)

They are much cheaper over here. The place where I'm going to go for my future piercings is also a tattoo place -- very hygienic, the rooms look like they're straight out of doctor's offices, lots of glove wearing and a real show of how sterile everything is. Anyway, they do tattoos for $65 a pop. I don't think they're big ones -- I think they're kinda average sized, which I honestly have no idea about in terms of size, but I do know I saw on the board of prices that the regular price for tattoos was $65, with higher prices for what I'm assuming are larger tattoos.

Me, I'm just dying for another set of ear piercings. Will get them after I get my new computer, which I'm currently saving up for.

WE HAVE A WINNAH!!! Shit, I'm wanting that. Get it across your back.

― Ally (mlescaut), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

$800 for a sleeve sitting is completely reasonable.

I have many smallish tats and the most I've ever paid is $130 (for about a 3" diameter color piece.) I'm getting a full lower back piece here soon for $500 but that is total friend price.

There are SO many factors that go into price: location of tat, colors, complexity, size, region of shop, etc. Still a free hundred dollars? rock on Nick.

Woah Chris V...

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 11:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I still haven't gotten the gift certificate in the mail, which is odd considering they called a week ago and said they were mailing it.
Yeah, I'm not going to get anything huge. Something small and tasteful. Still can't decide what. Haven't really given it too much thought yet. Sarah has suggested various small cutesy things (birdies, swan, etc.) which might be good except will make me seem even wussier than already and I want something more meaningful to me personally. So it needs more thought.

― NA. (Nick A.), Thursday, 10 July 2003 13:12 (twenty-two years ago)

go for an old school tattoo, hula girls, anchors.

Please say that is yrs sweetie. . .

― That Girl (thatgirl), Thursday, 10 July 2003 15:29 (twenty-two years ago)

That Baby Ink link was funny. I probably would've gotten raggedy anne.

Anyway, back to top! We need to force Nick into getting a tattoo right away. I mean, the less you think about it, the more intuitive and right it is, huh?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 10 July 2003 18:21 (twenty-two years ago)

That's how I go about getting them, yes.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 10 July 2003 18:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Me too usually

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 10 July 2003 18:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Though I will say that the anchor idea is pretty good.

― Ally (mlescaut), Thursday, 10 July 2003 18:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I want Nick to look more like a pirate...
Would a pirate get an anchor tattoo? If not, what? A parrot? I want Nick to look more like a pirate...

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 10 July 2003 19:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Get a tatoo of Tatu.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 10 July 2003 19:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Awesome! I can see it now - this sort of graffiti look to it, kissing of course...

― Sarah MCLusky (coco), Thursday, 10 July 2003 19:06 (twenty-two years ago)

the taTu one would cost much more than $100 though. I think that a pirate might have a tattoo of a mermaid? But that would be a bit of money too.

DDG - I would love to say that the tat was mine, but sadly it isn't true!! But if you want to borrow the idea hun, feel free, I'm sure it would look great! ;-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 11 July 2003 08:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Mermaids are cool, but I don't know if I'd want to look at her breasts every time Nick took his shirt off.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 11 July 2003 11:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Sarah is OTM def!!!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Friday, 11 July 2003 11:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe Nick should get a picture of skull and crossbones! That sounds very pirate. And maybe it could even have an eyepatch.

The former. I think it will be black outlines with some red.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 14 November 2003 23:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I went and got it. It was fun. It only took like half an hour and didn't really hurt. It looks pretty cool. Pictures someday maybe, I don't have a digital camera.

I discovered recently that an ex of mine had her Duran Duran tattoo removed, all for the silly reason that she was, um, in a long-term relationship with one of Duran Duran.

I am still vaguely considering one, but unless a design genius wants to try and work an image based on what I (think I) want, I doubt I'm going to find an extant image I like enough. All volunteers to this email address...

― Markelby (Mark C), Saturday, 15 November 2003 23:32 (twenty-two years ago)

an inch is 2.54cm.

― RJG (RJG), Saturday, 15 November 2003 23:36 (twenty-two years ago)

just do it mark. all tats are you at some point, right? i don't really understand the removal thing. all of my tats are landmarks.

that said i am actively planning on covering one of mine up. I though the elliott memorial tat would do that but the final design didn't work out that way. so my artist and I began discussing tonight how we would cover up that booty-ass kanji shit I have. Actually he said I have no business thinking about it, he would, as me thinking about it is what got the crap tattoo in the first place. I don't hate it, I'm just bored of it. The characters stand for "self-integrity" but I tell people it says "east slut" as that is more interesting.

i have 3 music-realted tattoos and I think this is a good thing. I can't ever imagine regretting any of these.

― A Girl Named Sam (thatgirl), Sunday, 16 November 2003 10:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Barry, get "No, I'm heterosexual actually" tattooed somewhere - think of the time and wear and tear on your vocal chords it could save!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 16 November 2003 11:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I think Ned is implying that is yr ass, Nicole!

Sarah...my ideas are...sketchy at best...sometimes I want a bird you know but sometimes I want to get a pin up girl and sometimes I just want to put the number 13 on myself in big blocky football jersey letters but I think I will wait and put that on my arm.

I really want a Gil Elvgren-style cowgirl. Considering how I'm getting grief via work for my latest first I'm going to have to be careful where I put stuff like that. The thigh is a good spot but I hate thigh tats. I'm just going to go ahead and half-sleeve my left arm so maybe on the underside there.

I've been threatening to get my brother a "gift certificate" at an artist to get Edward Gorey characters done, but I don't know who to look at. Those fine-line drawings would have to be done really well to look nice.

Being a non-believer puts you at a serious disadvantage - I love all the old-school/Chicano culture icons - the sacred heart w/ barbed-wire, the Virgin of Guadalupe, but a white agnostic getting them because they look neat borders on the offensive.

I've said fuck it and will soon start getting sleeves. I have a few tattoos already but none that are visible when I wear short sleeves. But I've always wanted sleeves and, like many things in my life, I believe I will regret not doing it much more than I will regret doing it.

The Picasso tattoo could be really cool; I'd find it much more interesting to see on somebody than most tattoos.
