    Hi everybody

    Just registered here a few days ago. I´ve always had an interest in tattoos and I have 3 tattoos which I got when I was 16-18 years old.

    At the time I was getting them (1999-2001, I´m 26 yrs old now) there was a tribal craze here in Iceland and that was basically all I wanted at the time. Today I´m not unhappy with my tattoos apart from my first, which I have an appointment to cover a Japanese style Koi half sleeve in about 2 weeks.

    I haven´t had a tattoo now in 8 years, and I really can´t wait to get tattooed again.

    Here are pictures of my tats.

    My first one… to be covered with a Koi half sleeve in 2 weeks.

    My second one. A design I drew myself (I´m not an artist, I just wanted to try it for myself). And don´t worry, it´s not crooked, it just looks that way on the picture.

    And my third one, this one I got while I was in Mexico on vacation. I´m pretty happy with it. It has two Kanji symbols which (should) mean Mother and Father.

    I will definitely post pictures of my coverup when it is done. It will be done in one session, which I am a little nervous about, but more excited ´cause I really didn´t like the idea of having a half finished tatto on my arm for a few weeks between sessions.

    Greetings from sunny Iceland 😀

    Welcome to the forums.
    I personally don’t have a taste for tribal.
    Seems like alot of people that do get tribal, or any tattoo they regret/don’t like that always get it covered up with a koi. Lol.

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    Yeah, I wouldn´t get the tribals if I was getting tattooed today. But what can I say, I was young and a bit daft and everyone was getting them. But the one I really don´t like is the first one, the others I can live with just fine.

    And DMD, I know what you mean about the backpiece. My friends call it the “trampstamp” hehe :rolleyes:
    I saw a picture of a dude with a similar lower back tattoo and I thought it looked cool so I got one… then a few years later all the chicks started getting lower back tattoos and ruined it for me 😀

    YEAH! What He said!:D

    Welcome from Texas. In our nation one of those tattoos is typically called a “Tramp Stamp” Can’t say I’ve seen many on guys.

    Tribal…Hmmmmm.

    Well, I’ll look forward to seeing more of your work. We’ll be chatting with you.

    Hahaha, not quite. The online translation pages aren´t good for anything else than translating individual words.

    It should probably be “Það er ágætt að tala ensku svo allir geti lesið það”. 🙂

    And yes, we´ll keep it in english from now on for you guys 😀

    Those translators are always funny. It’s not always possible to decode the intended meaning behind the translation, but yours was plain enough 🙂
