My ongoing quest to get a tattoo continues. My friend just got 2 on her 18th, which kinda inspired me/made me remember I wanted one. But hers were "...". The first initial of all her family members, and then some other text I've forgotten.

---

I realised that The Good That Won't Come Out by Rilo Kiley is possibly the song that sums up my feelings on life most I've ever heard. I got a few of the messages in it as being great before, but you don't take songs in properly at a computer, while distracted. Walking around town at tonight with The Execution of All Things on my iPod let me hear it properly for the first time in ages. It's just...yeah.

 

I like the idea of just getting "The Good That Won't Come Out".

Sounds like a nice enough idea Paj, I'm not a massive fan of text tattoos anymore unless they have to be a jumble of words, or what you want but unreadable (but not because it was done badly), it makes it more interesting to see.

 

I nearly spent hundreds of pounds on my back tattoo, unfortunetly I had to cancel it. Which is disappointing.

I fancy another tattoo. I want one on my left wrist. Sort of like the ones that everyone seems to have of a nautical star. But something different (ie. not a nautical star).

 

I'm feeling the whole hot rod/iron cross love at the moment.

 

 

Edit: or another Full Metal Alchemist one:

I just love the geometry-ness of it all.

I do like text tattoos personally, and am very wary of "picture" tats. Unless they're done briliantly, they mostly look awful (especially detailed/big ones), at least from my looking around at various tats. Not talking about symbol or tribal ones here, it's when people get Homer Simpson or... Big Bird:santa:, it just looks insane (ly rubbish).

 

Worse are when people get badly done cliched images like skulls on fire and big-tittied woman. If you're gonna get them, get them done well! :p

I actually really like this.

 

Although if I were to get a tattoo, I'd want one that means something to me.

 

 

I thought about "Scrape your knee, it's only skin." a while ago. References Joanna Newsom (one of my favourite people in the world) and feels like it has a message.

Now I want an FMA tattoo... :(

 

 

Fuck...that makes it as a Villa tattoo, some Japanese text (so I can be sure it makes sense), a Totoro tattoo as well as various other random anime/Ghibli/misc. tattoos.

 

I don't think I have enough canvas!

 

There is always enough room if you get good placement! :p

I've always liked that quote (Although I always thought it was phrased differently). Not a huge fan of word tattoos unless they're incorporated into another design though.

 

 

Damnit, I really want the transmutation circle on my inner wrist now. Damn this thread.

I think it sounds better without the shitty extra bits like "necessary" or "required".

 

Evil triumphs when good men do nothing

is how I always knew it, and along those lines gets the point across much bolder, imo.

 

I like that more and think i am probably going to go with it. I had always known it as i had typedit though. But apparently know one actually knows what he said, so i cant have people telling me for the next 50 years that its wrong.

Booked the tattoo for the 6th of feb. Could have had it any time in jan but i know im going to be up to my waist in muddy water for most of jan so probably not the best idea to get a tattoo on my leg.

In the end i went with 'Evil will triumph if good men do nothing'

Its costing £100 he said normally he charges £10 a letter (and i know people who have paid him that) I could have had it done for a lot less but this guy has a good rep and i would rather just pay that bit extra. If i live until im 75 its only £2 a year.
