06.09.10 | I'd like to get Vahalla tattooed on my entire back. |
Inveigh
06.09.10 | I'll mention one of my tattoos, awaiting your evaluation:
I have an iron cross on my chest, just black, that says 'trust' in the middle.
what does that mean? that i'm a huge faggot? |
Inveigh
06.09.10 | also, list was a good read |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | Nah, that means you have an iron cross on your chest that says "trust" in the middle |
Blotto
06.09.10 | "I will serve as an example to man as hope, by defending those I love with my life."
Had these lyrics done years ago when I was an idiotic teenager. I certainly lacked any real self respect so you've got that nailed, and I was an opinionated son of a bitch so that seems about right as well. I did occasionally live up to the words, though. |

06.09.10 | *raises hand*
Uuuuh... what does it say about me if I have no tattoos? |

06.09.10 | What does Odin have to say buckfutter? Also planning a Lovecraft inspired design. |
Inveigh
06.09.10 | Shai Hulud, nice.
also, I lol'd at Mewcopa's last comment.
and nice insight pit |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | I inked up a kids forearms with "Live, Love, Burn, Die"(from Atreyu's "Lipgloss and Black"), and I noticed how stupid the kid was. He was saying anything in the shop for attention. When I asked him what it meant to him, he said it was the "process of life." After he left, I couldn't stop chuckling to myself |
Gmork89
06.09.10 | I don't agree with 10 at all. I think if lyrics touch you and mean a lot to you that there is nothing wrong with getting lyrics tattooed. Band name is a different story though. Good job with 1, and 3 especially though, Oli Sykes is a douche bag. |
IRAI
06.09.10 | im probably going to get Tom chasing Jerry around my chest, or Dr. Zoidberg in his swimsuit going for a scuttle on my ass. |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | Thank you Inveigh.
Nah, the iron cross idea is a good one, in my humble yet informed opinion. It's different, although whenever I think of an iron cross I think of the brand Independent. |
BigHans
06.09.10 | I am cool cause I dont have one.
I thought about getting my schlong inked but realized there probably wasnt enough ink in the store. |
Gmork89
06.09.10 | Zing! Well played Hans. |
Inveigh
06.09.10 | haha, yeah i have a friend that always tells me I'm a billboard for Independent haha. but it doesn't look the same, the Independent one has rounded edges, mine's more like the one Edward Norton has in American History X lol, not that that's any better.
but mine says trust in the middle!
also, I chose an iron cross (it was my first) because it's a Celtic symbol that was used in some old family tree-like documents my parents found at my grandparents' house. |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | Gmork- Of course there exceptions to the rules. I also find myself in some of these categories, as well as exceptions for myself to some of these. I've got both of my arms completely done up with some brightly colored ink, as well as some pretty pathetic pieces on my back and legs from my younger days. |
IRAI
06.09.10 | you should have mentioned the amount of people who get straightedge tattos and then proceed to break edge. ive known quite a few and laughed at their decision.
notable one: a big 'ole XXX on their wrist...whoops. |
Gmork89
06.09.10 | See, that's a good reason Inveigh. |
SlightlyEpic
06.09.10 | i want to get some pg.99 artwork tattooed somewhere so i can be like every other person that listens to skramz |
Blotto
06.09.10 | I got into tattoos after watching From Dusk Till Dawn when I was a kid. Unfortunately this means I have to think about George Clooney every time I look at my arm. |
Inveigh
06.09.10 | thanks Gmork. and I'm with you, I think there are instances where it would be cool to get lyrics tattooed. there are a couple ones I would consider, I'm just not sure where I'd put them and if I'd still like them in 10 years or something.
If I'd picked my favorite lyrics from when I was 15 (10 years ago) I'd probably have like "I" by Taproot on my arm or some shit. |
Emim
06.09.10 | Crosses are really the only "cool" types of tattoos. |

06.09.10 | I hate needles. No tats for Brandon. |
Gmork89
06.09.10 | Your right Inveigh, it would have to be a song that really has meant something to me for a period of time. I think I have reached the point in my life where I'm finding music I wont grow out of now though, sometimes you just know a certain song will always mean something to you. |
Inveigh
06.09.10 | true dat. unfortunately for me, most of my favorite lyrics are from hip hop songs and then I'm forced to think about which short passage I'd want most. i guess I could just get all of God's Bathroom Floor tattooed on my back, with a butterfly at the bottom for flair. |
Apollo
06.09.10 | I agree with most of the above.
I have 5 tattoos, and I regret one.
It says "Evil Will Depart" in sanskrit surrounded by two small blue roses. Didnt think that one through. But I have one giant tattoo on my left arm that says "Dont Look Back, Look Above" surrounded by stars and a blood red moon. Its pretty badass and it has meaning for me personally (beating drug addiction etc..). I fucking hate tribal tattoos/tramp stamps or any tattoos that obviously have no personal meaning to the person who got them. |
Gmork89
06.09.10 | Haha, that would be fun to explain to people. |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | Gmork- Most people I've found that get lyrics tatted on them are 18-19 year olds who are getting their first one done. The lyrics usually don't mean anything at all, but if they do, everything that comes out of the kids mouth contradicts everything that these lyrics stand for. |
BigHans
06.09.10 | If I was going to get a lyric tattooed it would be:
THERE IS THIS BURNING, JUST LIKE THERES ALWAYS BEEN |
Apollo

If you were serious about the lyrics from God's bathroom floor you are my new best friend. Atmosphere's lyrics mean the world to me. |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | Atmosphere's lyrics are as powerful as it gets |
Gmork89
06.09.10 | Ya I know what you mean man, I'm 20 though and I know a quite a few lines that will always mean something to me. But I can see the majority in that age group getting Rockstar from Nicleback on their ass cheeks. |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | My first tattoo was a crucifix, so I fit into that category. I've had it covered up since, but it's still pretty shameful, considering everything else I have is custom artwork that I've created. Although the most regrettable one was when I was playing in a Local Adult Baseball League and I got a skull shaped like a baseball being hit by a bat shaped by a bone. Oh god, that's embarrassing |

06.09.10 | I entend to one day get lyrics from Emperor's Acclamation of Bonds done on my chest:

06.09.10 | I really, really wanna get inked up by Frank Carter from Gallows. I have a copy of his published portfolio and the guy is one of the best I've ever seen. |
Inveigh
06.09.10 | yes, I was dead serious. that's my favorite song ever, primarily because of the beating drug addiction theme you mentioned in your comment.
most of the songs I'd consider my favorites (lyrically) are Atmosphere songs. The Woman With the Tattooed Hands, God's Bathroom Floor, The Abusing of the Rib, Always Coming Back Home To You etc are some of my favorite lyrics ever. Mac Lethal's kind of the same way for me. |

Atmosphere is one of the artists who has the most meaning for me in my life. I think Slug is like that for a lot of people. His lyrics are just real. He's just a real artist. Nothing fake about him. |

06.09.10 | Josh- Of course it's all generilaztions. Mostly this list was done in jest, but I have observed each one of these at least 5 times in my past, so I'm basically going off of that.
And yes, they are lame. Why do you think I got mine covered up? |
Emim
06.09.10 | "Actually in the process right now of putting an online album together. Once it's done, I'll let ya know"
Cool.
Also just want to go on the record saying that sleeves and barbed wire are stupid, and a woman with either is disgusting. |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | Emim- So you're telling me that my sleeves are disgusting, without even seeing it? That's harsh dude. I thought we were friends? |
Apollo
06.09.10 | idk wtf your talking about dude, sleeves are bad-ass on a woman. Sexiest thing ever. |

If you want a good place to go, check out a shop in Deerfield called Solid Image. It's a good, professional, clean shop that does really good work. They've won a bunch of awards, so check em out. it's worth it |
Inveigh
06.09.10 | duuuuuuude pit, Parkway Drive named their new album after your old shop |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | Emim- Okay, I thought you meant "in general, but especially women." I even disagree with the part about women, because my wife has a sleeve done on her right arm(yes, I did it) that looks extremely sexy |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | Lol, I didn't even realize that. We just named it that because we were about 1 mile away from the ocean and it just seemed like a great name. That's quite funny, though |

06.09.10 | I got 3 stupid ass tattoos when I was 17 totally regret it. Planning on getting them covered up though after I finish my chest piece I am doing for someone I lost dear to me 8 years ago. I also got the batman symbol on my left wrist which I love since I am a batman geek lol |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | Nah, Emim, I know where you're coming from. Perfectly understandable.

06.09.10 | I've always wondered: if you're a tatoo artist, and someone comes in with a really complicated request, like a big ass tattoo that costs a shit load of money, and you fuck it up/they dont like the result, what the fuck do you do then? |
liketotallydude
06.09.10 | yeah man I guess you could say that would be my "dream" tattoo but I know it would cost a lot of money and time so more than likely I will never get it done but I also would like to get the joker on one side of my ribs and harley quinn on the other side. |
Maniac!
06.09.10 | Don't mess up and there won't be that problem ;) |
buckfutter
06.09.10 | I don't know, Hans, I've never really had that problem personally. When someone in my old shop would fuck up someone's tattoo, that was on the artist, not the shop. That's a matter of dealing with it person-to-person, not person-to-shop. However, there are ways of correcting mistakes, whether it be modifying the design or the coloring(at the request of the client, of course). There's no extra charge, and you knock off the price amount by however much you both agree on |

This Life- I like that idea for a sleeve. I have some taiwanese symbols on the inside of my left arm that stand for "Blood Over All"
Nikkolae- Dude, I hear ya. When I was thinking of this, I didn't think I'd match any of these. After reading what I wrote, I kinda match up to all of them, except for one.
Dev- No, that's straight. It's something you wrote that's personal to you. I'm talknig about the anus 18 year old who hears an Atreyu song and decides he wants to live like a 13 year old with eyeliner
Bloc- Some koi fish are really elegant and beautiful, and I haven't a problem with the artwork. I have a problem with the douche that's still getting it 12 months after everyone abandoned it.

06.10.10 | whoops didnt read your comment first dude.
Anyhow my next tattoo would probably be a landscape of ocean, beach and space, a whole sleeve. |
buckfutter
06.10.10 | Be careful getting a beach. It sometimes looks real tacky if the artist is great a detail |
Apollo
06.10.10 | yeah I will, I was thinking, it starts at the bottom of the ocean so a really dark blue ascending to a lighter blue with some waves and fades into a sunset/beach and then further ascends into some stars/moon/galaxy. It'll probably cost me thousands and take a few years to get it done. |
buckfutter
06.10.10 | If you find a good, professional shop, it won't be thousands. It would probably be around 400-800, depending on how much detail you want. |
Apollo
06.10.10 | for a full sleeve? I donno, I live in Canada so maybe prices are different, who knows. |
buckfutter
06.10.10 | Both of my sleeves cost about 1300 between both of them, and my right one has some major detail, shading, and coloring in it, so I'm just going off of what I have and what I've given |
taxidermist
06.10.10 | 1 is so accurate |
Apollo
06.10.10 | gotcha. From what I've seen from friends they usually say a full sleeve costs around $2000, but that seemed pretty expensive to me. I only have 4 smaller tats and one big one on my left forearm and that one was $250.00. |
BallsToTheWall
06.10.10 | Aren't jews not allowed to get tattoos? Because my brother had a girlfriend who was strictly opposed against it. Nonetheless, after they broke up, he got tatted. 10 years later, he's bot full sleeves, a chest piece, ankle, etc. |
