No. Im not a scum bag loser
Why? Are you Japanese and in a Yakuza gang?
I have 7. This is my newest one (few years old now). My cousin offered to do a free tattoo for my birthday. He's used to strickly do black and gray but wanted to start doing colored cartoon type of stuff
My kids nicknames are panda and turtle. Asked him to draw something up and this is what he came up with.

I didn't like either of the heads, flames or the balloon. Asked him to make some adjustments and this is what he came up with

Nice. What are your other ones?
Yes - 13 I think? It depends on how you choose to count. I have my arms (forearms, biceps, wrists), shoulders, upper chest/clavicle tattooed - I had actually scheduled to have my traps done, but COVID shut down the place I normally go to.
I love tattoos - I plan to get more, and actually have my next several planned out. I'm lucky enough to be at a point in my career (and in a profession) where I'm valued for what's in my head, and not what's on my body. The only area I wouldn't consider getting one is my face - I can't imagine why anyone would do that other than for wanting attention.
I haven't gotten a new one in ages but that's going to change soon as I have to get one in Jana's memory. I just haven't completely settled on a design yet. I have some ideas but I want it to be perfect.I'm in corporate land, have four pretty big arm and wrist tattoos and a double nose piercing. No one has complained once. I only had one in the UK and covered it up till I realised no one would give a fuck. I haven't ever covered them up in the US and my lower inner arms are covered.
Yes @Brampton_Boy you are in fine company.Cool. Allow me to welcome you into the "scum bag losers" & "sailors & criminals" club along with @fingercuffs & me. LOL.
Still the same coast at least, bezzer. Him doing it for you would be nice. And you should probably think about getting the idea perfect, so there's absolutely no rush to get it done pronto. She would like that.I haven't gotten a new one in ages but that's going to change soon as I have to get one in Jana's memory. I just haven't completely settled on a design yet.

One idea was to get this line of lyrics from one of her favorite songs, Summertime Sadness: " I think I'll miss you forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky". Along with this piece of art that a friend did for me of her:

It's just one of a few ideas I'm weighing though. And I have to choose an artist that's perfect with their work. Jana's cousin Rick is a tattoo artist who does amazing work & he's offered to do one in her honor for free. But he lives in Florida.

No tattoos here, but I remember actually wanting to get one back in 2009 and I had my design made already. Then I inquire about it and talked with tattoo artists/shops and for some reason it got me re-thinking about it due to the prices, the hassle, and quality of works and skills of the tattoo artists on my area. For some reason it got me researching more and more about what to do before getting one and delayed it for months and months.
And at that time tbh when I knew about the Diaz brothers not having any tattoos, it got me influenced and later on convinced me to not have them anymore. Being huge fans of these guys and how badass their personas were, I just ended up growing a goatee on my chin instead (like theirs) and not have tattoos anymore. Later on as I got older, I realized that yeah I really didn't want to have them and maybe it's just an impulse/fad thing (NOT saying it is though) as a young guy back then and I've no regrets.
