    I've just been looking at a few hundred designs and saw some terrible ones.

    Like this.

    Do you think each their own ? Or is there are really some sad/silly tats out there ?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,698 ✭✭✭garthv


    What possesses anybody to get a tattoo?
    Maybe hes got an obsession with Windows?
    After all it is in practically every household in the world so why not....

    Would a tatoo like this breach copy right violations?

    Now given that nobody replied to either of your posts AND one is directly after the other, who the hell are you talking/replying to??

    Regarding original question of images no-one should get done, there is one image, we all know it, no need to see it again, it adorns the arms of scumbags everywher, that bloody black panther picture, and I am not talkin about the militant wing of the US civil rights mowement!
    Its that piece of flash work I would pay to have taken down from the walls of cheap tattoo parlors eveywhere and burned, the black panther crawling up the pasty, emaciated leg of modified micra owners everywhere, theie girlfriends usually have a love heart on their tit or a dolphin on their shoulder.

    The tattooists that do that stuff should be dragged into the street and shot.

The black panther, a creature last seen crawling up the pasty, emaciated leg of modified micra owners everywhere, normally seen in the company of girlfriends with a love heart on their tit or a dolphin on their shoulder.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    I think the only images you shouldn't get done are the stupid ones you just think look good and mean about as much to you as tattooing a packet of crisps on yourself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,105 ✭✭✭larryone


    My housemate always thought it'd be cool to get the Guarenteed Irish logo inked. Why does it necessarily have to "mean" something?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15 Femme Tattoo.


    I don't think it should be entirely "each to their own". Any image that is obviously offensive to others is taboo. Especially if it's visible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22 Drastic


    Also, i don't think thats a tatoo. it looks photoshopped to me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 449 ✭✭camarobill


    that has to b a joke,what a sap.nerd tatoo for a nerd :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    A real nerd would have the Linux penguin on them. I've seen that before actually.

    What about a swastika? Do you know in which context I get it tattooed or is it offensive by its very nature?

    Take this man for example and have a read about why he has done it

    It's his choice and it probably suits his life style so noone has the right to judge it. He would probably thinks the same about your chinese writing.

    Swatichas mean different things to diffeerent people, That isn't the Nazi one it's the buddhist one. In the east they do not carry the same connotations that they do in the west. Also the KKK white coats and hats mean something completely different in spain.

    Well this guy is reclaiming the swastika as what it initially was which is a very ancient life symbol, it never had any negative connotations before the Nazi's embraced it as their symbol.

    Here is a good history of the nazi adoption of the swastika.

    It is debatable, but I think it's time to reclaim it for what it is.

    I have a panther on my arm. Never been in trouble with the law or owned a micra, and my partner hasnt got a single tattoo.
    It was done by Raven in Cork.
    Shame about the sterotyping

    "The tattooists that do that stuff should be dragged into the street and shot."

    Ehh you wha? :)

    So the artist should be physically harmed becuase he carried out the wishes of his customer. Makes no sense
