Show us Your Ink: The Cult's Official Tattooing Thread - NSFW
not judging from what I saw in the dressed down thread!
Oh! Nooooooiceee!
Sorry. I was stunned by the aardvark.
This is why we can't have nice things.
/dream within a dream.
well you probably have to book that shit years in advance, so book it in now and it'll give you a reason to save money 
Matt, I'm lovin' the Kiss Me, Judas tattoo. That's going to be a nice conversation starter for anyone who recognizes it.
Ah, thanks, man. I'm a little bummed because I really wanted to have the note Jude leaves as a quote (If you want to live call 911). But it just didn't fit well around the little kidney.
I want to get a Contortionist's one too: A little 6-fingered hand tipping out pills from a bottle. And, the idea there, was to have the words be the opening sentence (I can count my overdoes on one hand.), but it looks as though I might have the same trouble with that one, so maybe I'll have to just go for the simple 'The Contortionist's Handbook' around it. And even if the quote worked, I think I'd feel silly having to similar tattoos that are actually dissimilar because one is just a title and the other is a quote, so maybe I'll just have to get TCH around the Clevenger one. Fuck. I really wanted to get both of their words on me. But, Luckily, they're both pretty badass titles, I guess.
Yeah, another new one. Can't seem to stop. I mean, my other two aren't even properly healed yet. Not the greatest photo, but you get the gist.
Just be glad you're not addicted to plastic surgery, Matt.
That's one strange looking China-man.
I think I'm officially obsessed with matt's tattoos.

Umm... uh... ummm... I don't see a tattoo... There's um... something else distracting me.
the fact that the poor button is holding on for dear life? I'm writing a paper and I feel like a sexy lumberjack. minus the sexy because I haven't showered in a while.
look higher, and to the right!

Pigeon head.
That doesn't even work because it's not even a pigeon, is it? Of course not. I wish it were though. Someone would call me rude and I would say, "No. It's what her tattoo is you idiot."
I haven't heard the word 'pigeon head' in a good while. we call them 'chicken heads' 'round these parts.
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
We just call 'em sluts.
I call them one night stands.
should I be offended?
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
I don't think so.
Success. It's pretty much the only reason I get tattoos--to pick up chicks.
See also: piercings.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Nice tits.
I can't believe Imke said "tits"!
Nice tattoos and boobies.
When they're that big, I feel it's more appropriate to put them in the "tits"-category. n_n
Really? I think of little breasts as "tits", and big breasts as "boobs".
Hmmmm! Interesting.
Interesting, indeed.
I can see Imke and Sarah in a small cafe somewhere, Paris perhaps, sipping espresso, toying with croissants, holding forth a deadpan discussion on the nomenclature of breast size. This film, directed by Tatantino, is in black and white. They are wearing Japanese sailor-style Schoolgirl outfits.
Suddenly a ninja appears and there's a great battle which ends only when the two have bisected his body beneath the ribcage and an impossible amount of intestine comes rushing forth from the wound. The ninja, wide-eyed and pale, grabs handful after handful of gut and tries to stuff it back into his torso.
The girls, their faces spattered with red - the only color in the film - sheathe their katanas and pause a moment, staring meaningfully into each others' eyes.
Imke picks up her demitasse and drains the last of her coffee. "Ta-tas", she says thoughtfully.
"Hrm," replies Sarah. Then, "We should go."
Casually they walk off down the street. The camera pans to the sun rising behind the Tour Eiffel.
Fin.
This is why we can't have nice things.
Fucking yes. Let's write that script for real.
i'm a muse
“if you want to be a bird,” you said once, “with colorful plumage and buoyant trills, you must also be ready for hollow bones."
I actually said the word ta-tas today.

Haha! Love it! Especially the outfits. 
These are mine. . I love 'em.
The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.
Hi, New Person!
Please tell the stories behind your tattoos. Also, Where are the second and third located?
This is why we can't have nice things.
I can't see the first one. Looks to me, Tuffy, like the second one is behind the left ear and the third is on the top of a foot.
I'm seeing...
- Shamrock, behind ear
- Pentheses-looking things, leg or ?
- Stars, ?
I'm most intrigued by the parens and would like to hear their story.
ALSO: My next piece is planned. I am collecting references to give to a new artist. Excited!
This is why we can't have nice things.
I'm almost positive the parentheses looking things is the sing for A Perfect Circle. They're awesome.
...
But those form an imperfect circle...
This is why we can't have nice things.
Irony.
Also, it's Maynard Keenan. He's always been strange.
The first one (which you can't see, so, I will post again) is a sparrow. I got it on my 18th birthday with my oldest sister. I really love the bird. I moved out of my parent's house so it was almost like symbolizing leaving the birds nest... Becoming an adult. It is located on my upper left shoulder.
The next is a four leaf clover behind my left ear. Luck is alway on the mind. My Grandfather was Irish and Great Grandmother as well. I love the history of my family. And since I'm like hardly irish at all, why not a tattoo that will always remind me of the history of my family?
The third is the A Perfect Circle symbol. I love them. When I was a ruthless teenager doing a lot of drugs, I always had A Perfect Circle. The symbol symbolizes that we may talk about how "we have things under control" or "everything is alright" but in all reality everything is imperfect, nothing is just ok. And you just have to accept that. As a person we have to understand that nothing is what it seems. Located on the topof my right foot.
And the last, My baby sister's 18th bithday was a month ago. She wanted us all to get matching tattoos. They got theirs on their feet I got mine next to my collarbone on the right side. And if I would've chosen what the tattoo was gonna look like I prolly would've done without the lines and gone with like a crescent moon and little stars.... but it wasn't my birthday.
The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.
I can only see the first one.
"A celibate clergy is an especially good idea, because it tends to suppress any hereditary propensity toward fanaticism." -Carl Sagan
"Am I cruel? Probably. Is she an idiot? Yes." -jane s.
Yeah, now that she fixed the first one, the other three have broke. Aye aye aye.
same, I can only see the first.

Tuffy, I got the apostrophe! See! See!
