Tattoos are SO mainstream now its ridiculous to make the tired assumption that if you have a lot of tattoos you are some kind of bad ass punk or thug that will kill you as soon as look at you. I know people with full sleeves and body art that work in banks and libraries and worry more about their mortgage and their lawn and taking care of their kids than anything else. When I first got my tattoo in the late 80’s there was still a slight stigma involved with tattoos. It was still an “outsider” thing to do for the most part. But in the 90’s every useless college kid trying to be cool had to go and get something on their body. Now all those kids are grown ups and have kids of their own and have fully integrated into mainstream society and it completely ended the concept of the tattoo as taboo in our society. Now people who have elaborate tattoos are a niche that say more about their fasion than their opinions of society or how dangerous they are.

I disagree with you.
I will not only be hip and edgy, but look QUITE DANGEROUS with my heart-shaped musical symbol tattoo. Respect, yo? o(>.<)O |

I dont really see the alure of tatoos, but if you want one, I wont stop you. I'm okay with dating someone with a tatoo, just not one of those limb-covering monstrosities you see sometimes. I am neutral on peircing (except for eyebrow piercings, they just distract me)

But will the rest of your choir homies have your back if you have to sing your way out of a tough situation... Thats the test. Show your colors proudly! And watch out for the G cleft crew... And remember... all the toughs in West Side Story were Baritones.

Looks Egyptian.
Does it have a meaning?

I've been looking through this site science tattoos. There's some quite nifty stuff in there. But alas, this way I'll never be able to decide on a design for myself.

Haha! I see someone else also wanted a Pazyryk tattoo on that site! I'm getting one of the ram and elk hopefully this summer.

They are very imaginative as design. I drew the deer with the flowers in the antlers a lot in the margin of my school notes after I had seen the documentary on Pazyryk ice mummies.

Beautiful too. I just have to find someone with enough skill to do it. The lot of inkists here aren't worth a hill of beans.

It has that effect, doesn't it? Although it seems that once you start on one tattoo, the road to the next is a lot shorter. Your tattoo looks very nice, by the way.
*ponders on the cartouche with the name of Heket, the frog-headed goddess, that could combine a few interests for sure...*

It will get done, but I'm in no rush to do it and then get saddled with a subpar or crappy tattoo... I'm just keeping my eye out for a good ink parlor.
