lol. even if a tat wasn't that painful for you that horrible noise(i hate it) would never let you fall asleep especially if it's near your ears O_o

no kidding. there is no way you wouldn't hear it/feel it vibrating.

Niiiiiiice...You're pretty good at photo editing :)

My cousins girlfriend took the pic and edited it :D
It was for thank-you cards when I finished vocational school.

a friend's friend got drunk and wanted a coca cola can tattooed. the tattoo artist wrote it wrong and now he has "coca colla" on his body...he also got this super mario mushroom somewhere while he was drunk...

[.:White:Rook:.]

A pro tattooist wouldn't tattoo someone drunk. & He'd have to make an appointment first. Which means he'd have had to have been VERY drunk to go to a shitty tattooist in that state.

& Neddie, what software do you use? I'm guessing photoshop? I use GIMP because I can't afford photoshop, however much I'd love it. However I could get those kind of results with GIMP, it's probably a lot harder.

Im not a fan of stars but still nice, did you guys hear about the girl who wanted 1 star inked on her face but then fell asleep while getting inked and the tattoed 52 stars on her face? That was extremely mean and I was wondering if you guys heard that story?
Also I was thinking of getting a tat with Rise Against's lyrics "just because you can breath, doesnt mean your alive" in banners or kinda like the gun and vine design they made.

She apparently wanted 3 stars but got 56. I'm a member of a very popular tattoo&piercing forum & we had a 6ish page discussion about this between the day before it was on the news til she admitted she lied. We all guessed that she changed her story cause her dad got mad    Got some media coverage for the tattooist tho.

Secondly - good choice, Rise Against lyrics are always great & make great tattoos I think. Always very meaningful but with the poetic & metaphorical side that AF lyrics don't really have (Though don't think I dislike AF lyrics, I think they're brilliant! Just a little more 'In your face' than RA)

Thats why I LOVE Rise Against their lyrics are just superior to most other bands. Yea AF is awesome and it fits the in your face style like you said but the RA lyrics just kick ass.

Yep it's photoshopped, a lot :D

[.:White:Rook:.]

A lot? Would only take me three steps to do that on GIMP...

U wouldn't even believe it's the same picture if you saw the non-edited one.
The light wasn't good etc. I wish I would look like that without editing :D

For my next tattoo I want to get a Fleur-De-Lis to symbolize my paternal French heritage  and years spent in Boy Scouts, but with "manus haec inimica tyrannis" which apparently once was the family motto on my mothers side. Have yet to decide on how I want it stylized.

Ah, I see. I don't bother with editing the light/shade effects I just try to take a picture with good natural light.

Have you not seen the pictures of yourself? They look like some one jizzed on a giant zit.

So there's a good chance I'm getting a tattoo within the next week but I'm a bit torn about my ideas.  I have a few possibilities that I've been considering for quite awhile now...

The first is:

My favorite song from my favorite band, and also a life motto/outlook of mine.  It'd be drawn a little neater than this (paint with a laptop is a bitch) but I'm pretty sure this is the font style I want. I really want this but I have NO idea where to get it.

The other is a sunflower, but because of the personal symbolism behind it I'm probably going to hold off on that.

The other would be a swallow, like this one:

preferably in different colors (maybe a green instead of the yellow? I need help choosing that too) with an exploding/shooting star glowing behind it.  Much more cliche, I realize, but that doesn't bother me. I love how they look and I really like the symbolism of loyalty, as well as freedom, and long-distance travel behind it.

My boyfriend has recommended I get some kind of star and moon design, which I like, but I'm not sure I want for my first tattoo. It seems like more something I can add later on, or something I could incorporate with the swallow to represent exceeding limits and expectations and going as far as you can in life.

Whatever I get has to be in a discreet location since my job isn't incredibly tattoo friendly (not completely against them, but they're frowned upon, as will most future jobs probably be.) Also my parents, brothers, and grandmother are quite against them, and rather than deal with their bitching and telling me how gross and trashy I look, I'd rather just be able to keep it from their eyes for the time being

Advice? Opinions? Please?

[No Pax Without PaxWarriors]

definately hold off on getting one until you know EXACTLY what you want. give it some more thought. besides that I really have no other advice on the actual tattoo.

[soybot]

Well the only things about those I'm unsure about is location of the first and colors on the second. Otherwise those are both things I want, I just don't know which to get first.

[No Pax Without PaxWarriors]

ahhh well if thats the case I really like the swallow, I dont know about the colors but the swallow is really cool.
