I just don't understand the purpose of a tattoo. Also what makes it worth the money?. Why?
There are many reasons, man. Each one is personal. For many, it's just something fun. Sometimes those people are what we call "dumbazzes". For others, though, it is something to be artistic, for body decoration, or often for rememberance of something important. My mother got an angel on her shoulder when her mother died, and another one facing it when her father died. My sister has a very large cross on her lower back to commemorate them both. It is cover up of something stupid, but it's good now and very sentimental to all of us, especially me considering I designed it.
For me, I do it to mark certain occasions. I currently have 5 tats in different places. Each one means something or marks an occasion. My first is a tribal armband, left arm, between bi/tri and shoulder heads. It is the graphic on my guitar - a link to my roots as a musician. My second tat is a mokawked skull on my right outter calf with a goatee that runs down my leg and the word "Wicked" intertwined in it. That's my connection to my bike, which is very very important to me. My third, 3 digits on my left wrist, very small. Code for something very personal that I don't divulge. Tat 4, "1-17" on my right wrist - my chapter number for the bike club. I'm president and founder, so this one is about the brotherhood. My 5th tat is on my left forearm, underside. It is a ripped skin tat with clockwork gears and such inside. In itself, it doesn't have to much meaning in the design. But, it does have great meaning in the process of it. I did this one MYSELF. I bought a tat kit, learned the ropes, and this is the first tat I've done on a human being. So yeah, I like tats, and I'm going to spread the love by doing them on other people!
it's just artwork, i mean why do people bodybuild? it's the same concept. not trying to say people with tattoos are automatically the **** ya know, but i just think it'd be pretty badass to have some ink on me.
i was thinking about getting one like pudzian around my bicep but i have THICK stretch marks on it and i think it'd **** it up haha.
Getting ink into stretchmarks or scars can HURT. Just a warning to ya. Experience here, bro!
considering that wasn't sarcasm... any suggestions bro? as to getting it somewhere that hypertrophy won't distort it.
Depending on what it is, your back might be a good place. It's not like getting a dolphin on your peck and it turning out to be a blue whale when you get old, fat, and have man-boobs.
A tattoo shop.
Best place to get a tattoo? Get it?
I prefer my dining room table!
