    Default your name here

    One thing I don't get -- women who have mens' names tattooed prominently on their body, especially if it's on multiple parts (boob area, back area, butt area...). I just think it's kind of weird because if they're giving a dance then the guy is staring at the giant 'EDWARD JAMES OLMOS' (or you know ,whatever) tattooed on her tramp-stamp area... I don't know, I love tattoos, but ones that seem to imply a babydaddy or boyfriend killed in the line of duty isn't part of my aesthetic bits.

    I find that unsettling and I also do not like the kid's name tattoo either, but that's more due to the fact that these are the 3 I remember: a list of the names of all four of her children on a shoulder blade, "Fantasia", and "Lexus."

    eh, I don't like them, but we have a girl with a tat that says "property of kool" right on her ass cheek, and it doesn't hurt her $$ at all. I personally wouldn't want a dance b/c of it.... It just screams pimp!

    Someone wanted her kids to be strippers... Lexus? really? Hi my name's Porsche, want a lap dance?

    So I worked in a tattoo shop for about 3 years and let me tell you I tried my hardest to get people to reconsider getting names. These are some of my favorites...

    1) There was this one kid who had just turned 18 and wanted to get his g/f of six months name tattooed down his forearm. I convinced him not to and to rethink the idea.

    2) This woman called in and asked if we do coverups which we do and she was like great!! i'm getting married in a week and I have to get my first husbands name covered before I get married so my finace doesnt see it. I was a little dumbfounded... I mean I don't know about you ladies but I would never marry someone whose body I don't know very well.

    3) This happened a lot - "I wanna cover my ex's name with my current boyfriend/girlfriends name, can you do that?" You fucking dolt - didn't you learn your lesson!?!?!?! Jeeze.

    And finally my biggest pet peeve is people who get their own name tattooed. wtf? are you going to forget it? do you want to make sure your one night stand wont forget it? The only names I think are acceptable are kids names, or parents/granparents/mentors and even then i'm still iffy about it. And as for the kids I just hope one doesnt give them dumb names. I always suggest people get something that reminds them of a person, like get their favorite flower, the first letter of their name (so when you break up you can say it stands for something else) a shape filled with their favorite color, their kiss print, a car part, ok maybe not a car part but something, anything but a name. Sorry this was so long but I have a lot of things to say on the subject of tattoos, I could no doubt go on for a while.

    ^^^ ooo that's not so good. I mean I've seen a lot of name and DOB but not the full name... and not really big. I saw one dude who had his kids names and dob around his neck, it was like a double chain he had like 7 kids. it did not look good. And also what is that telling your kids? "you brats are choking me"? but I guess it's sweet to some people.

    I am getting two names as a part of the tattoo I'm getting (see siggy!). But it's a memorial tattoo, so it's different.

    Oh man, so i saw this gir once who had a motorcycle on her back, full backpiece so that when a guy is fucking her doggie style and puts his hands on her shoulders it looks like he's holding the handle bars. A+ for creativity, A+ for exicution (it was done really well) but F- for class... who wants a guy to think of a motorcycle while he's fucking her, or think of fucking her while he's on a bike?? I mean I love me some bikes, they can be really sexy and honestly I've been close to cummin on the back of one, but really, I don't think that was the best idea... to each their own I guess.

    I worked in tattoo shops too. OMG some of the crap I saw...once this guy came in and got his last name on his neck (tacky, but whatever) and then came back 3 hours later saying it was spelled wrong! The artist showed him the drawing, then put the thermofax on him (twice because of readjusting the placement) and asked him a kajillion times if it looked okay to him before doing the tattoo.
    I had to laugh at the guy. He tried to blame the artist but it was obvious that it was his own fault for not correcting him before it became permanent! DUMBASS!

    I also think it's pretty tacky to get someone else's name on you. The only time I would say it's okay is when it's your kids, your dead relatives or your dead friends. Obviously you're not going to change your mind about the person at that point. I have my dead best friend's name on my arm within a design and I plan to get another tattoo that he designed FOR me and it will have his signature in it.

    hahahahaha yeah I did this guys stencil and we both looked at it a few times together make sure it was ok and just how he wanted it and after it was put it on him I realized one of the letters was wrong - it was one of those practically unreadable fonts and the C and E were almost identical. I had to draw the whole thing back up. guhh.

    and yeah dead friends are ok in my book too. And I like that idea of getting something had drawn put on you, signature or not, I think it's almost better than a name, but you gotta get someoen to do it they way that it looks on paper. I've seen a good few tattoos that are supposed to be someone else's work and the artist put their own... spin on it so to speak and it just isn't the same. Some artist interpretations really dont look as good as the reference.

    AlexxaHexx, did you work at a shop out on the west coast?

    I think name tats are a bad idea too.....BUT my own MOTHER went and had her boyfriend's name tattooed on her hip. At the time she did it, I told her it was a bad idea seeing as how he was still MARRIED and haden't even separated from his wife. He still lived with her!

    See, its not just kids that are stupid.

    I have a confession.

    I have Delicious tattooed on my lower back.

    It was a dare when I was 18. Now it's pretty much a nickname cause everywhere I go, if I have on a short shirt, I can hear people calling out Hey Delicious! behind my back.

    yeah I agree with Susan. As long as it isn't your name or your kids name. This one time when I was 18 I met this dude and we had one night of unbelieveable sex and he had a guys name tattooed on his hip after going at it a few times I asked whose name it was and it was his 5 year old kids name. He was 18 too. I then found out he was married to the baby mama. I told him he was a dirty old man and that I was 14 and left. He couldnt stop saying oh my god and sputtering as I got dressed, it was great!.

    What is wrong with having your kid's name? It's not like you are going to break up with them like you would a boyfriend.

    If you were refering to what I said I meant as long as Delicious isnt a kids name. I think having your kids name is fine as long as it is tastefully done... well I mean i think all tattoos should be tastefully done but yeah... if this wasn't geared toward me than never you mind Side note - I swear to god I never sleep... I think I've been on here since like 2 this afternoon.

    Oh yes, I learnt this one the hard way. Like a drug fucked tool, I got my then boyfriends name tattooed on my ankle. It was done by a tattooist who was a friend of ours. His nickname is 'lead hand Jimmy'...you can imagine the mess he made on my ankle. Anyways, I decide it has to go so it gets covered with heavy black thorns. It is still ugly as fuck, so a few years later I begin laser sessions to have it removed. $2000 later I realise it's not going anywhere so I begin to think about how I want it covered. It took me 2 years as I have known the distress of living with a tatt that I hate. I am happy to say that I love my ankle tattoo now, and only I notice it's a cover job.

    NEVER NEVER NEVER TATTOO A LOVERS NAME!!!

    What I meant was:

    "I hope you do not have a child named Delicious.

    If you do, and that is why the word Delicious is tramp stamped on you, I will assume that you probably have not read a book and that you think you need a passport to travel to Hawaii.

    However, if you were just goofy and thought the word was appropriate for your 'delicious' ass, I understand, because we were all drunk teenagers at some point."

    i have a small tat on my inner wrist..lol...actually i have two.

    one ,a single letter "J" which i got on valentines day some years back, while with my current partner...my stage name also begins with a J so its easy to hide.


    and my friends nickname (the one in my sig) we all got it when he was killed. plus the date.

    personally, i dont give two shits if custies dont like those tats, they both mean the world to me. ive only ever had one custy point out my memorial tat, and say something, then tipped me $100 for the respect

    Just to clarify: I do not have any children, but if I did, it would not be named Delicious. Unless I was in Hansel and Gretle's storybook.
    I have Delicious tattooed on my back because when i was 18 I was a bit concieted, attracted all the attention, and made my friends jealous. They dared me to tattoo Delicious on my back, and being the cocky girl I was, I did it.
    The joke was that when I was old and ugly, I could cross that out and put "Rotten" underneath. For some reason, that made perfect sence to me.

    I no longer feel "Delicious" and I also don't want to be rotten when Im old. So I guess Im just screwed.
