Yeah it's a gundam. It's Deathscythe Hell Custom. I have a picture where I got the voice actor for Duo Maxwell (the pilot of the gundam) to write on my back and sign it after having his own little fangasm over it. Ah the fun of anime conventions.

Omg I love you. I want a sandrock tattoo. Sandrock is my favorite gundam ever...
And no I don't. My parents actually encourage me to get a tattoo, but I always refuse. They're both are covered in tattoos, and their like, "come,on, we're going to get tattoos, you're getting one".
It freaks me out. I guess it's better than encouraging me to smoke pot, which some people in my family do....

Just tell them you refuse to get one that doesn't have enough meaning to you that you'd want it forever. If they don't understand tell them they don't know the point of tattoos.

Probably a good idea. My mom doesn't seem to understand that she's jewish, which surprises me (Jews can't have tattoos). Whatever......

Having designed tat's for people years ago I can say a few things to mention. Note this is just from experience, feel free to ignore...
- Make sure you can cover it up.
- If you work for a company where you wear a colored shirt and tie, dont get tats on the forearms. This way you can wear a short sleeve shirt on hot days.
- Get a tat that means something. Not just one that looks cool. It might not look so cool in a few years. Something family related for example.
Keep the pic for a while before getting it done. You may not like it after a while.
- Try not to get anything demonic as you may regret it later on.
- Big tats are for people who like pain. 8)
- Sides of shoulders are great for logo's.
- Try not to get "patch tattoos". This is where you have lots of small tatts next to each other. It can look very messy. If you need lots of small tatts then spread them away from each other as much as possible. One on each arm, one on back is a good example. 3 or 4 pics on your back or arm is a bad idea. But thats up to you.
- Note that skin isnt the best material to draw on. If you get a small pic then make sure it doesnt have too much detail.
I dont do tatts anymore for people. They dont turn out nearly as good as my drawings and most people complained about them taking too long. I so hate complainers. lol. I would never get a tatt myself. Not a fan of em.
Got a friend who wants some done. Begs me to do them but I wont haha. Tomorrow Ill be drawing on his arms so he gets an idea what they might look like. That will be funny. I should draw something rude.

I've got a meat tag, nothing else. A meat tag is basically a dog tag tattooed just underneath the armpit, and is strictly a utilitarian tat.

Oops...
I do admit I lost a chance of being an air attendant once for this,but then I thought "screw it,I come from a family of sea men, I ll find my own way to travel round without these pussies"
(that and-continued in next snip)

-continued from next snip-)I still love my tats! Agreed 100% with Ooie;my first tat I designed while wasted in a bar on my 19th birthday to this day I still see that twisted jagged abomination with love and good nostalgia
(yeah cept for the valknut and the runes all the ugly inks in my skin be of my design)

Not exactly demonic but they are pretty jagged :p

I remember this girl I used to work with that got a new one every day,a perfectly good waste of skin to do stuff that was worth it.
Skill of the tatooist and quality of the ink and equipment are vital in my opinion,I'd rather pay more for an artist I know works well (as opposed to someone famous for this or that) than cheap out on a mark I will eventually regret and still carry on for the rest of my life (at least it should still look good!)

How can JRPG's stay alive with nowhere to expand and develop?
They stay alive because Japanese people love seeing a rainbow's assortment of hair colours, people with animal ears, wings, or tails, clothes that even a blind guy wouldn't wear, and cookie-cutter angsty teenage-hero characters that all have some life-shattering unique, heartfelt sad soppy story.
Likewise, many people in the West are slowed to some degree, and they think that the storylines and characters are actually of a decent quality. Generally, these people are in the 12-16 bracket and/or are the same crowd that think the Twilight movies are the best films ever produced/books ever written. |

I have a Prime Helix on my left arm and an Imperial Eagle on my right arm. Other than that I have a Dark Elves tribal peice that I took from the old rule book and mirrored it to go down the length of my back.
Also a Memory tatoo on my stomach and last name on my chest. Nothing below my waist.

My parents encourage tattoos, but not until I hit 18. If anything I would get like, a stylized cross.

NO! that should definitely NOT be a rule!!!! Thats just gross! I don't want some slaanesh warrior charging me, Screaming a BloodLust filled roar, with his Jolly Roger Flopping around!!!! Thats just gross! I mean.....if it was a female warrior and she wasn't that bad looking, I think I could capture a few prisoners. My 'Interrogation' skill will be most useful then - Commissar NIkev
