I'm thinking about getting a tattoo on my right arm and chest. What do you think
-
I need to see some examples. What would look good on me. I've thought about it for years and I'm going to do it.

Thanks leatherbear. I like that. That's what I'm thinking of doing.
-
I'm normally not really one for tattoos, but there have been a few exceptions. That style of tattoo on that kind of body (which is hot btw) would look very visually appealing… If you've got a more artistic artist, it may also be possible to get the "Ooooo... Ahhhh..." factor as well
-
Hay Mr Mazda, Thanks for joining in the conversation. I'm looking for the right design and I agree with you on having something more artistic. I want one color and not to thick on the lines but other then that. I haven't found the right thing yet. I've always love the look of tattoos and it's time to do something about it.
-
Finding the right look can be a challenge to say the least. The other part of it is having the right body structure for the tattoo as well. In your case, you got the whole package goin' on
-
I totally agree and I'm going to build up my arms and lose some of the gut first. I need to firm up just a bit and I have found a new inspiration… and he's really hot. He's a bit far away but I'm willing to move the earth for this man. :drool2:

but that's just me. -

How about these?
-
I don't love tattoos. And I especially don't like tribal tattoos. So I say don't do it.

I'm 47, and I've gotten my first tattoos within the last few years. I took a very long time to decide A) that I even wanted to get them, and B) what I wanted to get. So now I'm sleeved, and happy with my choices. Let me give some REAL advice:
1. It's your body that will be marked forever. Get images that YOU want, that have meaning for YOU, and that YOU have thought a lot about. DO NOT just let the artist do what s/he wants; your taste is bound to be different from his/hers. Allowing "artistic freedom" is great, but only up to a point. If you need inspiration, look on the internet; there are hundreds of thousands of examples of what people have done, and you might get inspired. Remember: it's your body AND you are paying the artist, not vice-versa.
2. A good, professional, tattoo artist will not ink you if you just shrug your shoulders and say "Do what you want - it's your art." You should come to the artist with your ideas, and some examples, and discuss the possibilities and (relying on his/her expertise) decide for YOURSELF what you want, where you want it, etc. You need to be flexible with what you want, in terms of size, location and so forth but you also have to be able to constructively criticize the design s/he comes up with, if it isn't exactly what you want. Tattoo artists tend to be perfectionists (you kinda have to, in their profession) but a professional will not be offended if your taste is not his/hers. So speak the hell up: you only have that one chance.
3. I don't think you should get inked, at least right now. Honestly, it doesn't sound like you know what you want, or even if you really want it. You are asking folks here to suggest ideas to you - don't you have your own likes and dislikes? It seems that you haven't any idea how or where to get examples of images - have you looked? It also seems that you're looking for stuff that other people think is cool; the very opposite reason to go out and get a tattoo. Tattooing is a personal, individualized experience, and should only be done for yourself, and to please yourself. If you want the general public to think you're cool, then go and buy the latest clothes. At least those you can remove once they're no longer cool.

Ben351500 is exactly right, and beat me too it and said it better than I could have. Hit all the main points, too.
Look, if you are going to commission a work of art, pick something You like. It's about you, not about some random canvas
taking up space on the wall of a hipster cafe. Work with the artist. Go to some tatoo conventions even and see the range of
brilliant and creative stuff that is out there. If you want to wear words and can't settle on a tee shirt, at least find someone
who can spell.Hiring someone to create a work of art requires consultation and discussion and planning, because buyer's remorse is a costly
and painful bitch. Make sure you know exactly what you are committing to. No surprises that will last the rest of your life.Here's an idea. Why not find someone who can provide a temporary tattoo? I don't mean those little paper things that kids
put on with water or spit. I mean large, elaborate, very real looking body decorations that stay in place in the shower but
can still be easily removed when you want.They will offer a variety of pre-existing options that you can try out on various parts of your body and you can have a whole
rotating display until you find what you like best, then go to a serious inksmith and consult about making that permanent, or
find out what suggestions they are inspired to offer as a result. Look before you leap. -
