what should i look for to find a good tattoo place? anything else i should know...?

Green? Maybe if you're in the navy back in WW2.

And yes, it'll dull fast if you get red, that's why i only get black myself.

Man, stay away from tattoos. Yes, they make look cool... for a while, while you're young (although I think they spoil the view), but think about that man, you won't be able to wipe the thing off when you wish!!! You'll have the darned picture burned in your skin to your very death! Don't you have any other better things to do other than that? Stay away from that tattoo crap, you'll thank me for this piece of a good advice. You won't be young forever. And tattoos will look kinda stupid (IMHO) on an older person, but you won't be able to wipe them off. Just my 2 cents.

I have nothing againts tattoos (sp?) but I get sick of all these punk kids who hit the weight room for 6 months and then get the frickin' barb wire tattoo or rope tattoo around their bicep b/c they think they are huge now and want to show off. I also don't really like the people who have like 75% or more of their body covered in colored tattoos. I can appreciate the art of the tattoo though if it means something to you and is done classy. I might get one soon (I'm 25...actually 26 in 3 days) but it would have to be meaningful and not too obvious or too hidden, like maybe a upper arm/deltoid thing. I really like the Metallica 4-M ninja star thing with the black outline and red filling or vice versa, but don't steal that idea from me. ;)

most tattoo shops will give you free touch-ups for a certain amount of time, most of the ones here in utah will give it for life.

as for cheapbidder01's comment. i don't have one yet but my gf does, and she is hardly a slut and is extremely smart. as you can see, there are a lot of ATOTers that do have them, so keep your broad generalizations to yourself, or you're not going to have a very good time here.

Yeah.. I need to ask to excuse me too... Obviously many people have them... I just don't cause I already have skin problems.

On a guy, its a sign that he wants to be tough. Not the brightest or sharpest tool in the shed.

On a girl, its a sign that she's a slut also not the brightest or sharpest tool in the shed.

CheapBidder01 has LOTS of tattoos. Trust me on this one.

ahhh dont get a tattoo everyone and there mothers has a tattoo these days.

my friend said make sure everything is clean and ask the artist for pictures of previous work he/she has done etc. best if you know someone with tattoos and ask him/her to suggest a place.

I love chicks with those tattoos on their lower backs right above their butts.

Those are very sexy.

i agree that tattoos look kinda stupid on old people, but im just planning on getting it on my thigh, not really visible by everyone anyways. im not looking to get something big and flashy to "look cool" and besides, i figure by the time im old there will be easier/cheaper ways to get tattoos remove if i ever want to

Yes, each one of them probably thinks they're so original for having one too.

If you wish to argue about tatoos, please talk to the professor. Check out his website first: Tom. Then call 1800-5800-TOM. If you can make him say you're NOT stupid for having a tatoo, then ask him for my number. Thanks.

they'll shave it for you.

I got mine done in Studio City. Great artists, clean place, very professional, and reasonable prices. It's called Studio City Tattoo and it's on Ventura Blvd. Might be a drive if you live in Newport.

NO.

I love what you are saying because I feel infinitely more intelligent with each of your posts. And I don't even have any tattoos, so I'm pretty high on the intellectual scale already!
