Not sure if anyone else on here has any tattoos, piercings, or any other crazy weird shit. But I'm getting my 5th tattoo tomorrow so I figured I would make a topic to see what everyone else had. I had a few piercings but took them all out a couple years ago. I had my tongue, my labret, and my eyebrow pierced twice (once with one hoop, then when it got messed up got it again with 2 hoops). I have 4 tattoos currently. Left upper arm is a Celtic cross with a skull in the middle then later on I got it surrounded by tribal for a half sleeve. Right upper arm is the "demon smile", just some demon looking dude. Across my shoulders on my back is a tribal design my friend drew for me. Tomorrow I am getting the background to the demon dude done as a half sleeve. if no one else has anything to share then this thread will die fast. haha

These pics were taken a loooong time ago. the first three on a shitty webcam.
The picture of the arm tribal was actually taken the same day I got it done which was a few years ago. thats why the black ink is really dark looking compared to the older faded black on the cross.

I love when we used to get smashed over Scotts and talk to the Demon Smile. Hahahahaha. Good luck with your one tomorrow.

Sweet stuff Manf, those are some wicked tatoos, I am especially digging the celtic cross.

Good luck with your next tatoo.

Sadly I don't have any body art, and I haven't had a piercing since grade 4.

The cross and the design around it is badass.

Yeah these are some sick tatoos. Right now I'm too young to get any (legally) but I might later on in life.

They just now made it legal in Oklahoma to have tatoo shops....

...Why was it illegal to begin with?

idk...

I'll never get a tattoo simply out of fear of what it'd look like when i'm 80 haha.

One that my friend came up with is a sick idea though, getting this on your forearm.

Well I think it's cool

Probably just because in 50 years no one will know what it is.

phantomspiker · **Posted:** February, 5, 2009 - 11:00pm

that would be old tech

Remember these things? Remember putting in 20 of them just to install pong, and then still having to make a boot disk afterwards?

But yea I agree, if you're going to get a tattoo either get one that's badass or one that is super nostalgic.

I think when you're 80 you'll be more concerned with other things like how to stop crapping your pants to care about why you got a silly tattoo when you were younger.

Now that is logic we can all agree with.

I got the new one today.
Took 5 hours to do including freehand drawing it on my arm. $450 which is my most expensive one yet. I now officially have $1600 of ink on my body.
my arm hurts like a bitch right now though. i just rubbed some ointment on it before i hit the sheets.

I don't know a whole lot about tattoos, but I'm pretty sure you need to keep them under bandages for a bit after you get a new one.

Nick · **Posted:** February, 7, 2009 - 3:23am

That's what I mean by the chance thing.

ah good point.

I'm interested as well in seeing it too.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** February, 7, 2009 - 11:00am

my wife lost her digital camera but she does still have her fancy new one for her photography class so maybe i'll get her to use that. i havent taken any yet though.

you only have to keep them bandaged until you get home from the tattoo shop. its only so you dont get blood and ink on your clothes. then you wash it with warm water and soap and pat it with a paper towel. it still might bleed a tiny bit so i wore an old tshirt last night and wore one to bed too. my sleeve is covered in blood splats this morning. but i just have to wash it again. its still sore as shit too.

That is an awesome tattoo man, all your tattoos are awesome.

But goddamn, I would not like to meet you in a dark alley at night. You look like you could rip the arms off a Wookie, that's how badass you are.

Nick · **Posted:** February, 7, 2009 - 2:47pm

Nice man, don't forget to post more once it fades a bit, oh and can you post some more of the other arm? I want to see how it looks now.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** February, 7, 2009 - 3:35pm

I had a strectch mark that messed this one up a bit so while i was getting the other arm done, the dude decided to fix up a part of my older one. so thats the dark black you see above my armpit.
