Show us Your Ink: The Cult's Official Tattooing Thread - NSFW

Awww Mena!!!! You just had to make this NSFW, didn't you?

Maybe I should change the title back before this gets out of hand.

Kat Von D is ugly.

Like I said, I don't think so, contrary to popular belief. I'd bed her in a second.

I don't like the booby tattoo. its like tattooing a bra on yourself. I love my tits, I wouldn't want them permanently covered.

QFT

That boob tattoo is the worst.

QFT x 2

So it seems tattoos aren't as socially accepted as I thought. We got NSFW tagged.

Once I see tits, nudity or anything else I might get in trouble for looking at while at work, I slap on a NSFW tag on it. It's fair.

You can take it off now. I removed the image and the link. I apologize for not thinking about the NSFW.

OH BOY, NOW I CAN POST ALL KINDS OF NAKEDNESS

Naked baby animals fuck yeah!

I'm glad this got back to Tattoos. i was a little worried for a minute.
I do love girls with tattoos, there always a little crazy but god damn if i can help myself.

And then you have this

Thats not pigment, thats all scaring.
To do it right, or to get it to scar right here are the basic steps.
Let it scab.
shower so the scabs get soft
with a clean toothbrush carefully remove the scabs
apply hydrogen peroxide and lemon juice to clean and irritate the area.
rinse and repeat.
To get good scaring you have to stop it from healing for a long time.
MY tattoo artist has done a few and one of my friends has a piece done.

But then some people scar like this.

Where the scar is raised, it depends on the scaring method and the aftercare.

wow so i was right when i said that was horrific. I love scars but intentional scarring just seems ... a little boggling to me. I guess tattoos are similar and I know scarring is a right of passage in some countries but I don't know why it just makes me think of emo kids who cuts themselves just to feel physical pain to distract from the "internal pain".

So when your friend who does the scarring he scraps the area with a sharp object? I've seen with branding scars before.

My fingers would get grossed out if I ran my hand over that.

Why would someone go through the amount of pain required by the scarification process to have something as inane as fucking bamboo down their back? argh.

I saw my brother in law last night and he just had a new tattoo, I didn't even know he was getting a new one.

Forearm sleeve of Portland blown to shit. He's got the St. Johns bridge, the convention center, Rose Garden and a bunch of smaller landmarks. I didn't get very good pictures, but it is just fantastic.

That sounds awesome you should post the pics anyway.

I want someone to get a Portland tattoo with Harvey
this is Harvey

He is one of the many strange statues in and around Portland.

in the movie, Harvey was invisible.

In Portland, Invisible people/objects are seen all the time

Like I said, the pics didn't turn out too well. I rotated them for the tattoo to show better. Also, that is an older one of his daughters name it is surrounding.

and this is the one my sister just got at the same time, her first ever, it isn't finished yet

Those are cool.

They are showing up rotated the wrong way for me. ... *grumble*

Yeah, I thought they were both pretty badass. I really liked his, that is the sort of thing I would have got had I thought of it.

I'm gonna get this on the back, shoulder to shoulder.

That's such a great piece. If you don't get that tatted Nate I will chloroform you and make sure you do.

Statements that come to mind when looking at that piece:

"Jesus says fuck you"

"Have you heard? Bird is the WORD!"

"FUCK YOU! I'm hungry!"

That scarring made me go "Ewwwwwwww!"

The NZ Blood Service is crying about the increase in tattoos, you can't give blood for 6 months after you've had one done. They've had to turn loads of people away.

Today:

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

(It's really, really hard to take pictures of my under arm. Sorry that pictures suck.)

lolshakespeare

love that quote

Yeah, that's fucking cool, man.

Good'n.

And, yep, your tattooist hates you now.

He was actually pretty stoked on it when he finished, but he looked fairly scared for a bit.

It looks great.

Apparently, tattoos on your underarm hurt like a bitch.

Yeah, the inside of your arm there is meant to hurt a bit, but mine was pretty fine. The worst part that I remember is how awkward I had to twist my arm around.

Looks great, man. Love the quotes too.

What's the font?

I just love that. It's beautiful.

No idea what the font is. It's from a 1950's printing of the folio. I know one of those text making fellows about that time invented a font called "Hamnet" after Shakespeare's son.

(I can't do the multiquote thing but:)

Thanks Pepper!

Multi-quoting isn't hard.

quote
copy
back
quote
paste

repeat as necessary.

It might be hard when your arms sting though, so I give you an out McBro. (BTW, I'm gonna call you McBro from now on, okay?) Also, the tat's look great! Painful, but great. Now when you die, you can be skinned and preserved as a literary work of art.

multiquoting is easy. Just right click the quote button of the first post and open it in a new tab, then just scroll down and copy and paste all the other ones you want to quote. takes like 5 seconds.

I guess you do lose the names of who said it in the first place, but still...

Jesus. Just one one soliloquy from Macbeth was 2 hours. I can't even imagine getting the entire play.

Very well done. A great piece.

A fella I work with has tons of tattoos, one day I asked him:
"Of all the tattoos you've had done which was the one that hurt ----"
before I got out "the most" he pointed to the inside of his arm and was all like "Oh shit, the second he got started all I could think about was telling him to stop. I wanted to jump out of my skin and run away."

I can't help but wonder what my weak spot will be. I think probably next to my belly button, in that curves that goes down to your crotch. That shit tickles me crazy, so a tattoo gun would probably fuck my shit up. Maybe It'll be on my calf like my brother. I don't think ribs will be that bad because I've had my shin done and that's right on the bone. It didn't feel great, but it wasn't awful either.

Rule of thumb; the more ticklish an area, the more painful the tattoo.

most places won't let you get a tattoo if you're drunk will they? You should be able to come in and tell them what you want, go ahead and give them a down-payment or something and then come back later drunk off your ass for them to do the work.
or does the alcohol do something funky in the blood while they're poking you with the needles and they can't?
