@Cornishtiger – I know where I am going next but not sure of any tattoo places around there. I mean I guess I could look it up but I am really just wondering how artists feel about working on other artist pieces. If it is a no no I will try to avoid it.

@vendetta-92 – Not worried about getting an appointment more like cash situation. I have the cash its just I might not be able to drop all the money at once (Guessing its going to be expensive). and just FYI I have never gotten that sort of treatment before. I mean I’ve gotten alot of handshakes, thank yous, and god blesses(which I always love) but not to many “up to first classes”. Guess I’m just not lucky enough. :p

Sorry for digging up an old thread but kind of forgot about it and for anyone that wants to know:

Kan vem som helst här prata svenska? = Can anyone here speak swedish?

jar är bara nyfiken därför jag lär mig svenska = I am just curious because I am learning to speak swedish

hej då för nu! = Good bye for now

i got a lil rule i like to use in times like this m8

if you have to think about something to much, then its not worth doing!

meh i kinda disagree. A tattoo is for life and should be thought out IMO. :rolleyes:

Alright ty every1 for all the input! You guys have been a big help on me getting my first tat. So I just got home from the tattoo shop and set up an appointment. I will be getting it done this coming up wednesday. Heres what i’ll be getting:

This will be across my back: http://www.tattoosymbol.com/upload/images/heartagram.jpg

Inside the circle in the middle instead of a heartagram it’ll be this: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/1709802861_beeed297ee_o.png

And instead of the little heart and star in the first pic I will be putting small heartagrams there. 😀

Of course it wont look the same as the pic but it will hopfuly be sorta close to the first pic in the way the “tribal” stuff looks like.

Anyways thank you all for your help and wish me luck. I’ll post a pic once it is done! 😎

I like that symbol you linked us way better than the actual word.

Great, because I thought about it and I think I am going to go with the symbol on my upper back, along with a design surrounding it. Something like this: http://www.tattoosymbol.com/upload/images/heartagram.jpg . Maybe not the exact same design but close to it. And yes I’m probably going to get a heartagram on my arm when I do my sleeve because HIM fucking rules. 😀

But anyways thank you guys for the advice! I’ll let you know how it goes when I get it(probably sometime this week) and show you a pic of it!

Later for now

Bold statements have to come from bold people who don’t care what anyone else thinks but themselves. If you’re that kinda person who can shrug off opinions of other people, then go for it. Getting a tattoo with the possibility of something changing your mind about the topic is generally not a good idea for a tattoo… It’s almost Taboo.. like getting the name of your -now- lover who could turn out to be an EX in the future. Perhaps get something more to your core… If you want self-representation, try to find something about yourself that will never change.

Let’s turn the tables a bit… Do you think someone who is Christian would slap the words on their back? Buddhist? Hindu? Jew, Zik, Indigenous, etc… Probably not… What they DO tattoo on themselves are symbols that -represent- their religions or heritage. If you still want to go with “atheist” try something that symbolizes it instead.

Hope that helped.

Understood. Yes I have no problem saying that I am an atheist but getting a tattoo of it is a bit bolder. No, I don’t really care what people think about me but then again I would rather not deal with the comments. I am kind of in the middle so to speak.

Yes I have thought about getting a symbol instead of the word. The only problem is there is no set symbol for atheism because its not a religion. To me atheism is more of a statement saying I don’t believe in any higher forms or religious beliefs. But if I were to get a “symbol” for atheist it would have to be this.

This is something I feel very strongly about but maybe your right and the symbol might be the way to go. I am just not sure.

Your thoughts?
