PiB--What does your tattoo stand for? I have the Kanji for Death on my ankle... It's a Terry Pratchett thing

Hmmm. The image you're planning to get as a tattoo is...hmmm...I could say crap, but that would be rude...so childish ? XD It looks like a three year old drew it. But all to there own ^__^ If i had a tattoo, i would like a kitty cat, or a Dragon. I did want a Unicorn, but my mum beat me too it. But since the chance of infection, and the pain, i probably won't be getting one any time soon. OH OH! I love those band things that go around your arms ^__^ Indeed each to their own. You don't have to like it at all - as long as I like it that's all that matters, but were your comments 100% neccesary? I mean come on, they were rude and a little insulting to be honest. I didn't want something that everyone seems to have like tribal/celtic tattoos or something and green is my favourite colour (not alot of green in the aforementioned tattoos). I'm thinking about getting "carpe diem" written underneath it in small letters, cos that's pretty much my motto on life FF - yeah tis all done now! it's scabbing up, but it looks great. Tis just black and green without any red on it. It's so cute, I love it!

Cool! Glad you like it, you'd be kinda buggered if ya didn't! hehe Carpe Diem sounds like a nice idea, I think If I ever got anything 'written' I'd get it in a different language and tell everyone it means 'powerpuff girls' or something.lol

Glad you like your tattoo Kneetroll I know I have a celtic design, but I am a celt after all anyway and the symbol has meaning for me. I do remember a friend of mine from Singapore telling me she finds the chinese and japanese tattoos hillarious sometimes because unless the person has picked carefully, they either make no sense or don't quite have the meaning people intended. hehe. Re. piercings, no having your bellybutton done doesn't hurt at all, they should freeze it before they do it, so you won't feel a thing, I didn't. As for infections, ANY piercing can cause septicemia (blood infections) which can be fatal, cause heart infections and suchlike. Also piercings in the top of your ear can potentially shatter the cartillidge if done with a gun. (I've had three in the top of my ear with no problems but I have seen it go horribly wrong.) Also any facial piercings have the potential of trapping a nerve at best or triggering serious complications such as strokes. I guess you just have to weigh up the pros and cons and decide if you want to take the risk. Most piercings go without problems, but cleaning is key.

I can't be all false, and say its the best thing ever. But i could of been a little more nice o.O;;

My tattoo is actually jolly personal so i haven't told anyone what it means. I doubt i will do either, I paid to get it translated so i'd damn well hope its the right stuff LoL
Kneetroll - you'll have to post a pic once its healed up!!
And i have to admit i nearly went with some latin - but decided against it in the end...being as i'm into martial arts too - made more sense.

I wasn't criticising asian tattoos b.t.w, it's cool that it's something personal. I think the ones that my friend was talking about are when people just pick a word off a sheet of tattoos and aren't really certain of the actual rather than the literal meaning. (just wanted to check I didn't offend you! ) We do deffinately need to see pics kneetroll! I don't have any photo's of mine to show otherwise I would.

Oh no worries - you didn't offend me - i've heard all the stories and the warnings and didn't want to get caught up in the same crap storm - plus i paid money for it, it hurt and i'll probably have it for a long time - so i wanted to be sure. PiB

DD: Like y'all said, if it's personal it can look kinda cool cos it has meaning the stars themselves have no actual meaning, but the colour green is my favourite and I found it cute. PiB: That musta killed going all the way down yer back like that! I mean, I had three li'l stars and OW! LOL. Yuffie: Like I said you are entitled to an opinion and if you think it's horrible again you're entitled to say so, but there are better words to use than "crap" in the dictionary. Tis called tact.

LoL - it did hurt - the outlining more so than the actual filling in of the ink. Took about an hour and a half but the odd bit was - it hurt more at the lower part of my back than it did the top part - which is weird considering there's more flesh there, but i guess there are more nerves there too. And oddly enough the bit on top of bone didn't hurt - it just felt 'funny' and you could feel the vibe of the needle too LoL In fact - the healing process hurt more than the actual tattooing coz it was over such a wide area, difficult not to sit back or not lean on something. But i don't regret it. Not one bit. PiB

I found the outline on mine hurt like a bee-atch and then it went off when the did the black work and filled it in. Now I really really want to get another tattoo done. hehe

The filling tickled me more than anything - I was terrified of laughing incase he jabbed me with the damn thing! LOL LOL DD: I know what you mean, I've already started planning my next one! Best let this one heal first, eh?
