    i have six tattoos. 2 dragons on my left (one chinese, another just a tribal looking one), a panther on my right arm, an ankh with a celtic pattern around it also on right arm, eye of horus on my neck, and a big chaos star on my back

    if anyone wants pics send me a private message i'll send them.

    as far as pricing it really depends on who you know and the area you're in. i got mine dirt cheap but i know the guy personally and he works out of his home. and for all you naysayers out there, he has his own autoclave and all the sterilizing equipment, and i see him open new needles every time

    the first one is the hardest to get because you don't know what you want to start with alot of the time, but after that it's easier

    Oooh! Oooh! My turn!

    Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor on the left bicep,

    Blood dripping dagger on the right bicep,

    Snoopy with an M-16 on the Chest,

    Wiley Coyote with a machine gun on the right thigh,

    Rosary on the right ankle,

    Simplified Chinese character for "Patience" on right forearm. This will be joined in the future by characters for "Fortitude, Stillness, Charity" and others, as I earn each rank.

    Ahem, my advice: you get what you pay for. You can always haggle with a tattoo artist before hand, but keep in mind his mindset isn't going to be too positive if you made him drop his price before he starts. Tipping is a good idea as well!

    Sharky,
    I don't know how dark your skin is, but a friend of mine is pretty dark (from Jamaica) and he has some Celtic stuff, armband etc. It looks really good just the plain black on his skin tone.
    He had a Scottish grandmother or something so felt it would be nice to express his Scots roots.

    Tats on chicks are real sexy, so long as they are not too big, and make her look like a porn star!

    Wushuchik,
    So you are a fire dragon cool!

    I 'm a fire horse.
    I always thought about having some rendition of firehorse tatooed on me, but i've since found out that according to chinese tradition a fire horse can brings bad luck to their families, and were often either aborted prior to birth, or disposed of after!
    So i thought i'd best not advertise it too much!

    I've gotta tell you this story!
    This is Gods honest truth.

    I used to be involved in a Scooter/northern soul scene a few years ago.
    We used to go to a lots a places where there were many skinheads.
    Now these guys are not known for their intellect!
    I once saw this bloke with a tattoo on his forehead that read "SNIKS"
    He had tattoed it himself in the mirror, where it read SKINS.

    A couple of years later I saw him again, but this time he just had a big green rectangle on his forehead!
    I think the nice British term "wanker" applies here!

    I have a tribal sun thing on my shoulder blade, a stylized Biohazard symbol on my pectoral, a tribal mask on my shoulder with a K (my girlfriend's initial)in the middle, and a tribal badge thing on my stomach.

    Whenever anyone asks me if they hurt, I say, yes of course they do. When they say, "would it hurt if I got one on my arm?" I say yes, its like being shot, hurts less through the arm than through the stomach, but it still hurts.

    Funny you all should mention tattoos...

    Kungfu Qigong magazine has been requested by a distributor that sells to tattoo shops. What do you think? Would we sell there?
    We've always wanted to do something on martial arts tattoos. If you have martial ink, send me a pic. Maybe if we get enough, we'll run it the mag.

    Gene~
    You are going to go blind on the amount of e-mail that's going to be coming thru your office now. Prepare yourself!!!!! I know SOOO MANY people that have MA tats, it's crazy!

    Have fun!!

    My sign would explain why I am so fiesty and boisterous. Being a Fire Dragon has perks though....at least they don't ALWAYS blame it on PMS!

    The greatest thing about me is that I know that I am the ONLY one that knows the truth about all! Damo lives within me, and me ONLY - for there is nobody that knows the truth more - so stick that in your pipe and smoke it sparky's!!!

    I've got a big tattoo of Richie Rich on my face. Does that count?


    Firey women are the best!
    I've said it before, and I'll say it again....

    I drawed a cat on my arm once..
    All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
    Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

    Question

    I'm a water dog!? That doesn't sound as cool as Gold Dragon, or Fire Horse. What are the charecteristics of a Water Dog? And what does one look like? (if I were to get a tat?)
