    I have an off the wall 18 yr old birthday tattoo on my back, my artist refuses to cover it up. She tells me it's a valuable lesson. It says love or something gay, a little message for whomever is cornholing me I guess. Who knows what I was thinking.

    It is a valuable reminder that I was shitty when I was 18.

    I think the fact that Stale has gotten the rawest deal would remind him of that.

    is that a chinese character on your forearm there?

    if so, did you know that it's on backwards?

    you're a quick one there Houk



    and before you get all huff-puff. Yes it is. and while yes, I do have another character that was gotten when I was 17, drunk, and stupid. This one I got at 23.

    it was suggested by my Neurologist and Physical Therapist. Both chinese natives. If you notice, it's on my forearm exactly where the fore-arm cuff of my cripple sticks rest. I have another on the back of my neck, my physical therapist could never pronounce my last name for some reason, so he started referring to me by it instead. "Man/Mountain"


    The one on my chest is who knows what, and serves as a reminder to think things through a little bit before I do them.

    Oh fuck, I am glad you have a good story for the man/mountain one. I saw that at the new years thing and had reservations about saying anything. Funny story, in high school I was taking Japanese and saw a girl with that same Kanji, asked her what she meant and she told me "angel". Asked my teacher the next day and he said it meant more like hermit or sage. Good times.

    Here is my half sleeve I got over the holidays.

    23971_1346377176063_1130302219_1117.jpg

    My best friend from high school did it for me. He dropped out of college with like 3 classes to go to start piercing and eventually lead to tattooing. He is doing pretty good for himself and has his own shop with another guy in metro detroit.

    Going back to kanji tattoos, one of the first tattoos he did was one of our dormmates back in college. They guy found kanji for "skillful hacker" or something like that. Got back and showed it to me. Odd look, odd look, I think that last kanji is upside down. Whoops.jpg

    Stay away from my Houk. It is hard enough paying my old host family to stalk him in Japan so he doesn't have any lasting relationships during his time there. The value of the dollar keeps fluctuating and such

    I've said for a long time that tattoos are scars you choose

    and anyone that dies without one they regret never really lived

    you gotta have something that you can't escape from that really reminds you how fucking incredibly dumb you can be when left to your own devices

    I kind of want a Mario mushroom on my shoulder blade or something.

    Can anyone think of a good Mario tattoo that isn't completely terrible? I feel it is something that I'd both like and be able to not regret too terribly much later in life.

    I do realize that this post is very nicely placed under Snowbeat's post.

    If I were going to get a Mario tattoo it would probably be of a Shy Guy. Someone mentioned that earlier in the thread and it sounded like a rad idea.

    I was thinking of that right after I typed that out. Amazing that it was the first comment.

    My roommate wants to get one of Mewtwo, done in this odd almost tribal-tattoo styling. It doesn't look anywhere near as awful as that description makes it sound.
