No tattoos here. I've thought about it, but it just seems... I dunno, kind of pointless? I've never had an image that I am sure I love enough to have put on me forever. Don't mind other people having them at all; although I am not especially attracted to them, nor am I repulsed. Also, I think some people's are pretty neat - Abbs' comics code one I love, and... did you actually get a lemur/tarsier-type creature tat or did I just dream that?

no longer in this club. don't tell my mom!!!!

I got a misquito bite on one of mine over the summer and I scratched the hell out of it to the point where it scabbed over and now it's faded in a weird way and I'm not very happy about it.

Abbott - I still wanna get the hedgehog/sloth drawing but I'm not sure where.

no tattoos for me.

i typed that with my eyes modestly averted.

it's just suburbia

mookieproof, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 03:34 (twelve years ago) link

i spent a few years thinking about mine before committing to it, then a lot of time trying to find the right person to do it. i actually had the opposite experience of tera: i had a dream that i got a tattoo (when i had never ever considered one before) and i woke up completely convinced that i needed to do it. mine is sort of 'obvious' enough that ppl don't really ask what it 'means' but i also chose something that did have a lot of sentimental significance to me.

smoove operator, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 03:38 (twelve years ago) link

i guess this is probably really cliche, but i don't have any tattoos just because i can't think of anything i'd be happy with for the next year, let alone the rest of my life. no matter how old i am or what i'm doing, i always look back 2 years and fucking hate everything about myself. for example, if i got a tattoo a few years ago it would probably be something related to Charlie's "Spacer Woman" because i was totally obsessed with that song. and i'd probably be drunk enough to get it on my neck or something.

Z S, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 03:39 (twelve years ago) link

totally understandable - i felt the same way, so much amazing art to choose from, WHAT I DO??!! in the end, i didn't pick my favourite piece of art, but i picked something that would translate well and the sentimental significance would always remain.

smoove operator, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 03:42 (twelve years ago) link

No tattoos, no problem with tattoos or needles just no tattoos on me at the moment. Maybe someday if I feel like it's important for me to get one, I will get one. Until then, nothing.

La Lechera, former application inspector for the (league of women voters), Wednesday, 30 November 2011 03:42 (twelve years ago) link

I got nothing, and I'm devoid of ideas, unlike smoove. (I enjoy art, honest). This thread plus reading LL's home-made gifts thread reminds me that I don't have a lot of creativity going on. A friend's daughter has plenty, all abstract - I'd probably go to her for ideas if I became keen.

Is there a sandbox tattoo roll call thread?

Eric H., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 04:05 (twelve years ago) link

used to live in a certain alt-rock town and never quite fit in and eventually decided it was because I
1) did not have tattoo
2) did not own pet snake

I got what Fetchboy upthread got

It's on my underarm, and it turns out that when I lift my arm up, it looks like my armpit is exploding. Might get stink lines on the other underarm.

Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 04:10 (twelve years ago) link

beneath the stink lines, don't forget: ^ haha

this must have hurt SO MUCH.

mine is on my inner arm a few inches down from the armpit and even that was really sensitive.

No tats here, but I'm still planning to get the ones that I've wanted to get for the last 25 years (a heart with a bow on top on the back of my heels, you all know the jewelry design that I'm thinking about, right?) when I can.

Christine 'Green Leafy Dragon' Indigo, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:05 (twelve years ago) link

I have none. But when I was younger and obsessed with certain French writers I was on the verge of getting this in the middle of my back. http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/9404/019ud.jpg Very happy I waited.

Oooh gurrrrl, let me tell you. My others are on my back and outer arms, and when others talked about painful tattoos, I always thought either I was tough or they were whining, but this one taught me a lesson. It took about an hour and a couple of times I wanted to cry. I wasn't tearing up, but I still wanted to boo-hoo.

Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:32 (twelve years ago) link

I must have a high threshold of pain. Only the inner elbow has bothered me so far.

Eric H., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:36 (twelve years ago) link

I like your piece, Eric.

Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:38 (twelve years ago) link

Though I do feel like you're challenging me to a pain-off.

Sandbox Jesse, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:38 (twelve years ago) link

The pain level depends on the needle size, too - the only time where I thought I might pass out was the last 15mins of the guy redoing line work on my ankle bone

smoove operator, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:40 (twelve years ago) link

A friend of mine who has tons of stuff said that either his ribcage or the palm of his hand was the worst. I think there are a lot of variables and it just depends on the person to some extent too.

~curious orange~, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:42 (twelve years ago) link

how did "NO TATTOO ROLL CALL" turn into "check out my painful-ass tattoos"

OH NOES, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:43 (twelve years ago) link

Sandbox rules.

Thanks, Jesse. Work in progress still, only on my 2nd session. Was really really thankful to find, during the 1st session, that I didn't feel any really severe pain.

Eric H., Wednesday, 30 November 2011 18:57 (twelve years ago) link

this sounds like probably one of the very few justifiable tattoos imo

want a new tattoo, trying to figure out a way to make a digital waveform image (kick snare kick snare) look cool.

I have a tattoo of a tattoo on me

When I was younger and obsessed with certain French writers, I got a tattoo of an egg in my ass.

it's one day later and i still don't have any tattoos

Was that supposed to offend me rusty flathead screwdriver?

I actually have an amalgam tattoo on my gum

Mike Latham Pennysong Green Hanle y, Wednesday, 30 November 2011 20:02 (twelve years ago) link

I could never get one. Not really because I have anything against tattoos, but I know that I would end up hating whatever tattoo I ended up getting within a week. I change my mind too much.
