Tattoos for Martial Artists

tosh. i know a chick who, if she werent about ten years older than me, i would be all over like a fat kid on a cupcake. and shes covered in em

what i hate is people with shit in their face. i just dont get it. its like they want people to pull on it or something

and thats as maybe kid but… well… ok i have nothing. sadface.

I like the carp idea, because of the story… swimming upstream and becoming a dragon.

However, I am in Japan, and that tattoo=instant ostricisation from everyone I work, live, eat with etc. apart from all the shady gangster types that hang around the bars and brothels.

I really like genki sudo’s tat… the bird across the shoulders.

Personally, I’d only have a tat if I designed it myself and it was something timeless and simple and meaningful.

really if you are asking randoms off the internet what to get you are not ready to get something permanently etched onto your body. imo.

poor Hulk Hogan :frowning:

shit repulsive when you gonna go on that diet?

I’ll go on that diet when all the little Hulkamaniacs out there tell me too. As it stands, I’m not getting a lot of fan mail these days.

This is my tat. It’s half-done. I’m doing the same thing on the other side.

It’s cooler if you only have it in one shoulder.

I like breaking the symmetry, my oh my.

That was actually my original plan, but after looking at it for a while, I think it’ll look better symmetrical.

I think the worst thing you can do with a tribal tattoo is go too small. I see huge guys in the gym all the time with little rinky dink tribal bands on their arm. It reminds me of Chris Farley when he did “fat guy in a little jacket”.

If you gonna do the tribal thing, gotta do it like Kimo. Then you look more badass.

I didn’t say you shold left your other arm/shoulder/chest untattooed.

Think if you would like more something else first.

I have almost all my tats planned, but they’re fucking expensive.

Good tattoos aren’t cheap and cheap tattoos aren’t good.

What is the one word you don’t want to hear from your doctor or tattoo artist?

Yeah, they are. I paid $100/hr plus tips.

Well, yeah, you get what you pay for… but I can’t afford my first tat now (the smaller), would’ve have it done last week, but got fired and need the money.

Here’s to you not getting a puny little tattoo.

Here’s to you not getting a Kanji tattoo.
(Although they can be quite humourous, especially when stencilled on in reverse.)

Here’s to me not getting any tattoos.
I just think of what I would have got 10 years ago that I would want to still have today. (That “Zoso” tat would be wicked!)

Or they make no grammarical sesnse, or they are so poorly don’t you can’t tell what kanji it was intended to be.

Terrible post. Just terrible. I think you should get a tattoo of a bootprint on your ass.

Did you miss the intended joke?

someone has to run with things or they are no fun.
