Planning on getting a tattoo!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
dont get a tat just to get a tat...make sure its meaningful and you wont regret it
 
I was thinking about this... I should probably get my culture tatted on me. I am hmong(we are gypsies) and we have some wonderful patterns i want. Some examples:

those would go well on the lower back hehe jk
they are nice...just think about it first. i laugh at people who dont research/think before getting tattooed and there is a mistake (mine has a symbol missing, but its in baybayin so no1 can tell lol). and like others on here said...your body, your choice...do what makes you happy, and tattooing yourself hurts no1(well itll hurt you for a few hour lol)
 
I want to see if i can incorporate those designs into a tribal. Ill probably sketch out some designs. If i sketch out a good one ill scan it and show you guys :D
 
Keep in mind that tattooing long straight lines is one of the hardest things to do... and to tattoo LOTS of long straight lines is a right P.I.T.A...

So if you decide on going with a pattern with lots of straight lines, be very careful to choose an artist with an extremely steady hand....

I know my old artist used to frown upon people that came in asking for barcode tattoos for that very reason...
 
btw some1 here mentioned names and nautical stars...whats wrong with them lol
i guess its all taste and preference. where do you plan on getting your tattoo...
also any pinoys out there that know of a place to check out pinoy tribal?...lookin to get a tribal done myself(half sleeve)...have to miz with my cross and filipino sun hehe

Thats a for sure! I know a guy who did my friends and it turned out great. He owns his own tattoo studio. Thanks for the heads up though.
