Hey guys I've been wanting a tattoo forever but I can't decide what I want to get. Lately I've been tossing the idea around in my head about a monster being tattoo'ed on my calve or arm.

i would also like to get a custom drawing done so i can take it into my tattoo artist.

Have any ideas or know of any artists that I could contact? It's hard to decide what exactally i want so if anybody has any pictures or anything that I could look at that would be a big help. Thanks!!

Oh GOD!!!

That Robocop tat is so retarded I can't stop laughing.

Seriously though. If you have to ask for advice on what your first tattoo should be. You are not ready.

Just looking for ideas. Something to get me thinking

Two pieces of advice:

1. Go big. Size matters, no body is going to strain their eyes to see your cute little shamrock, that is as big as a freckle.

2. Good tattoos aren't cheap, cheap tattoos aren't good. If you have to ask what it will cost, you better go home and save.

It's so bad, it's actually good.

is that patrick swayze?

It is indeed THE Patrick Swayze.

jesus...mr. cool ice made me spit tea out of my nose.

This thread has got star power. Patrick Swayze- and Boy George too.

If you have to ask other people what to put on your body for the rest of your life, then just get a California Raisin.

well, it likely won't be your last. so get drunk, and go get yourself the worst piece of shit you can. that way, you'll get the shitty tatt out of the way, and then you can start getting good tattoos. that's the rule.

just get something you like

and I came across this drawing, it would have to be cleaned up a little bit, but this would make a great first tattoo..

Pterodactyls, man. Pterodactyls.

Everybody has dragons, some dudes even have T-Rexes, but I have never met another person with a Pterodactyl tattoo.

On second thought, don't get a Pterodactyl. I wanna maintain my niche

I'm gonna get a mash-up suit of everything that's been posted so far, with Mr. T and Chuck as the centerpiece.

Mr. Cool Ice is classic, to truly appreciate it one needs to see him at EVERY angle!

Sorry jcrazy, that kind of question quickly turns an innocent question into a "bad tattoos" thread. I know if I didn't post first someone else would have.



It's a tough call on your first. Mine was dumb, a big skull with brains pouring out, and it SOUNDS cool and was well done, but I'm ashamed to say it was "wall art" and an impulse choice. I was 18 and no one taught me any better. Luckily it's covered in some scars (unrelated) and stuff so it looks all bad ass and "metal", but still, I'm ashamed to claim it came from the shops wall. But I learned.

Get your favorite toy as a tat, simple.

thats what I did..bemon head is next

I have no idea who this guy is but I love this painting. Would be a killer tattoo

I was thinking the same thing as I read the subject.
