Yea thats 1 way to look at it.

And just 4 the record I’m not bashing people w/ meaningful tattoos. Cuz every tattoo is cool 2 me, it’s an art form and even stupid tattoos are works of art, given that they aren’t poorly done haha.

ok i’m not gonna try and be a dick about this, because I also said I didn’t want this 2 turn into a back and forth argument thread, but if u have a negative opinion about something, keep it 2 yourself. And yes it’s easier 2 type 2 and 1 when you’re typing on a cell phone, and thats what I’m doing so I dont care enough 2 let your negative opinion bother me.

Thanks knarf I appreciate your compliment.

Keep the posts coming guys, I’ll be getting the tatto around mid april, I’ll post a pic when it’s done.

Alright guys im not trying 2 be a tool but i was just saying i like the black look of tribals and the sharp lines. I didnt mean 2 label the bands as hardcore, because there are so many genres for that kind of music nowadays, that i dont even keep track, its all hardcore 2 me lol.

So 2 clear it up, i think tribals are cool, they represent things im into, generally badassness haha.

I keep saying i appreciate your opinions, and i really do, but lets try and stay on subject here people lol.

Thanks for clearing that up haha.

Buttwheat, i dont quite understand what you mean.

Are you saying only one of your tattoos has meaning?

Thanks guys, I appreciate your opinions and advice, tribal is just an idea i have for my tattoo, but not just for the thick thorns and black color.

The reason i started this thread is because yesterday i went 2 a tattoo parlour to get an estimate on a tribal half sleeve, but i couldn’t even convey my idea 2 the artist because he tried so hard 2 talk me out of it, that i got pissed off and left. I won’t mention the name of the tattoo parlour, because i have seen his work and he is a very talented artist for a southern indiana man trying to make it. And i have a lot of respect for him, because he opened up the 1st tattoo parlour in the area.

Basically, the tattoo i want is a tribal dragon, or possibly a bear or wolf. I haven’t settled on an idea just yet, but i have been looking through designs on the internet, and i think they look really cool.

I have no tattoos at this point, and i am very new 2 the tattoo scene, but i will say that after weeks of research, i prefer tribal designs.

From a newbie’s standpoint, i greatly appreciate all the advice you guys are giving me, but at the end of the day, the tattoo is for me, not for any1 else. I respect everyone’s opinion, because i am a strong believer that if you want something, you go for it.

The tribal i get will definitely be different from every1 else who has 1, because it will incorporate the metallica ninja star, as well as color, and some sort of animal.

Once again thank you for your opinion, and keep them coming, because i take every one of them into account.
