Got a new tattoo.....

[krunchykrome]

It's my third one, and by far the biggest. It's two big koi fish in some water with some shading done (on my upper left arm). I plan on getting a half-sleeve from my left elbow to my left shoulder, slightly moving onto my chest. It should only take 3 more tattoos of this size to complete it. I'll probably get one done every week until it looks the way I want it to.

I dont understand why people get tattoos. What is the reasoning for etching something permanently on to your skin?

Awesome, I can't wait to see. I'm going to be getting one next summer, going to think about it until then.

Just got my eye brow pierced, I love it.

I'd like to know this as well. I understand that people like different things, it's just the thought of having something put on your body that is not easily removable, and is definitely not 100% reversable.

It's just something I enjoy. (Not the physical feeling), but the final product. I think some people are bothered my permanent decisions. But IMO, these arent the kinds of permanent decisions that stress me.

same here, never say the point of tatoos, maybe someone can fill me in on it

Not for me, but to each his own, and most tattoos (barring prison-style ones - and even some of those, really, though they're usually in B&W) look really good. Just not something I want. Awaiting pics.

Hmm, theres not really a definite point to getting them. It's just a hobby or interest some people have. I guess it would be similar to buying clothes. You like a shirt, it looks good on you, you get it. It's kinda like dressing your body permanently.

Plus, once you enter the world of body modification - such as with my eyebrow piercing - you get addicted to it. I never understood this until I actually got this done. It's definetly not for a lot of people, but Nascar isn't for a lot of people either. To each his own.

I agree. I got each ear lobe peirced when I turned 18 some years ago. The next weekend I got a second hole in my left lobe and one in my left cartiledge. Im done with piercings though.

Heh I'm not. I'm going to get a second barbel put in next to my first one, as soon as the initial one is healed enough. Possibly a labret after that, but I don't know if I want that much sh!t on my face.
