    The official name is either slagtag/tramp stamp :p

    I've got 2, big shoulder pieces, wanna get something again soon, but something really dumb, like a sheep or a slice of cheesecake, just so I can regret it in later years :D

    Tribal marking (its symbolic of a wave with a point of balance at the centre) on my inner left forearm and work in progress of a phoenix running from my lower abdomen up to my ribs on right hand side.

    Almost as good as your plain, haggered, saggy skin?

    No, nowhere near that good in fact. Glad you are getting the idea though.

    I have a plan to get some based on my favorite books like a Direwolf head, a wheel of time, the deathly hollows and the wording of the ring of power in lotr.

    Yeah i am a massive nerd but its better than being a massive scumbag i suppose.

    The life/death one? Yeah it's pretty good, but I wouldn't get it myself.

    I have three. Two of which I loathe and would cover up in a flash (I'm on/off saving and thinking of what to cover them up with!).

    I have none and have no intention of getting one. I like them though, nothing says "I'm an idiot" like a tattoo.

    Also, I know the 84% of the people here who claim to be Catholic don't exactly care for the words of their bible, but let us remember Leviticus 19:28 "Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD". But hey, who listens to a 2000 year old book these days anyway :D

    I'm actually considering blacking out the whole tattoo and getting scarification. I've seen a few and they turn out really well, it's like a negative effect (using the 'white space').

    the bible also says a lot of things like do not murder etc so go preach that to all the rapist, paedophiles and murderers out there which include half the priests that are in the catholic church!!!

    what i do to my body is my business and i certainly am no idiot for doing so. Its all about personal choice no?

    Nothing says "I'm an idiot" by judging people for having tattoos. (I wonder where that phrase "Judge not, lest ye be judged" comes from?).

    Also I'm more worried by the fact that you know the words of a book that should belong in the fiction section in libraries and book shops.

    None. Tattooing was originally a cultural thing, but now its just writing on yourself.

    I'm an idiot too. For wanting art on my body that I can look at and admire and go "this represents something important to me".

    ...and now I'm an idiot four year old. This thread is most informative.
