I don’t understand how you managed to read that into it. You asked “how does a filled in outline fall into the same category as tribal?”, which is like asking how wetness can fall into the same category as water. I just replied that all (well, 99% of them at least) Tribals are filled outlines. That does not mean that all filled outlines are tribal.
Umh.. how did you get the idea that I was a tattoo artist? I’m just a tattoo enthusiast, same as you. There is indeed a huge difference between Tribal and a filled in island tattoo (although your own tattoo was never the focal point of this discussion, and why you’ve decided to take all of this so personally is beyond me) but that doesn’t change MY OPINION that I don’t understand island tattoos and that I find them boring.
Well no, you can’t really say that, since my Taurus symbol, just like an island tattoo, has no Tribal roots or connections and indeed just has nothing to do with Tribal whatsoever 🙂
That you find my tattoo unimaginative and boring, however, is of no concern to me.
Exactly! Why don’t you read your own words and accept them? My finding solid black island tattoos boring doesn’t mean that they ARE boring. It’s just my opinion. And before you started taking offense and going on the defensive, I didn’t even have the slightest clue that you possessed one of them. That being said, here’s me saying it for the very first time so that I may at least be deserving of your animosity:
I think your island tattoo is boring.
The big question is… why the fuck do you care what I think?

How did you quote everything like that?? :confused:
Anyway lol
1. I asked for you to clear that up for me cause I thought I was reading it wrong. No need to go any further.
2. I could’ve sworn you said you were a tattoo artist or work in a tattoo shop, unless I’ve mistaken you with someone else, my bad… it happens. I’m not taking anything personally, this is just a discussion, right? Unless this isn’t what we signed up for here.
3. So wait a minute… you said island tattoos fall into the same category as tribal, but yet you just said in the third response that “my Taurus symbol, just like an island tattoo, has no Tribal roots or connections and indeed just has nothing to do with Tribal whatsoever”. So because the islands are filled in, it makes it “the same as tribal”?? :confused:
4. You think my tattoo is boring, fine. I think your tattoo is boring also and played out like barb wire and tribal arm bands that a million other people have and have used as tramp stamps. 🙂
Now can we move on and end it here? We’ve both said our peace. 🙂
It’s actually pretty simple once you grasp either the HTML or the simpler BB code system. Any command starts with a [ bracket ] and ends with a [ / end bracket ] so a touch of copying and pasting will give you multiple quotes inside the same post.
Nay, never said anything of the sort 🙂
Glad to hear it.. you just seemed to come on pretty strong for no apparent reason. And yes, at least I am here for healthy discussions.
The category of being boring an unimaginative, yes. Nothing to do with the genre of the tattoos.
That’s pretty interesting, considering it’s probably the only one of it’s kind on the planet :rolleyes:
Of course.
I like that idea a lot actually. The islands from the shoulder-tricep. I’m still brainstorming… my artist isn’t going to start on it until this weekend, so i have a few days to decide.
Thanks for all the replies, fellas. I’m taking all of your suggestions into consideration.. i’d hate to get something that i’ll regret later :]
Oh, and Dymond… sorry for going so horribly off topic in your thread. Never intended to hijack it 🙂
As for regretting it later, don’t you think perhaps you should make up your mind first (without rushing) and then schedule a session to have it inked on you? Seems to me you might not be thinking clearly with the deadline looming like that.
It’s a bad idea. It doesn’t make a nice tattoo at all. Neither do the sun and stars. Islands belong on a map or globe, and the sun and stars belong on a flag.
If you want to show heritage through tattoos, consider other images that would look better as a tattoo. Animals indigenous or unique to the country (monkey-eating eagle is dope or even the water buffalo), flowers and such. Filipinos have traditional tribal, head hunter type tattooing too, so look into that.
