Friday OT - Tattoo You

Have never, ever understood the desire to be tattooed. Never. Born too soon after WWII, I guess.

However, if you ever have a thread about funnier-than-average tattoos, this will be my entry (from somebody on TikTok)

I have a terrible looking star shape on my back right shoulder that has my son's name in Mandarin. Eventually want to redo that. I have Courage the Cowardly Dog on my my upper right arm that matches one my son got at the same time.

Edit: the meaning of the latter- we watched that a lot when he was little, and Courage would get in all sorts of bad situations and somehow pull through his terror and save the day. My son was struggling with a friend who had passed away in June of 2020, and to me it symbolized that we would go through the bad times together.
It probably really says Eat at Wong's. You hear so many stories about people who get tattoos in Mandarin only to find out it means something totally different than what they wanted. I believe Arianna Grande has one of those.

I'm getting more work done on my campus inspired half sleeve this afternoon. It has the Trice statue, Campenile and Four Seasons fountain, the "I will!" script from Trice's letter, and is filled in with trees and fall colored leaves. I don't think we'll quite get done today, but probably only another 6 hours of work. Will be close to 15 hours total I'd guess.

I have 6 others. Longest took 22 hours over 6 sessions (back) and shortest took 1 hour.
 
This fellow was so deeply in love that just before he was married, he had his bride's name tattooed on his love muscle. Normally, only the first and last letters were visible, although when he was aroused, the tattoo spelled out W-E-N-D-Y. Now they're on their honeymoon at a resort in Montego Bay. One night, in the men's room, this fellow finds himself standing next to a tall Jamaican at the urinal.
To his amazement, he notices that this man, too, has the letters W-Y tattooed on his penis. "Excuse me," he says, "but I couldn't help noticing your tattoo. Do you have a girlfriend named Wendy?" "No way, mon, I work for the Tourist board. Mine reads, "Welcome to Jamaica, mon. We have great beaches, great ladies, and great sun, mon! Have a nice day.'"

Lol, I did some heavy internet research first, and verified it a few places, but who knows? If I run into someone who speaks Mandarin and I also have my shirt off for some reason, it could get awkward
 
Poured concrete with a guy who had a Ted Nuget tattoo- bad prison blue letters all different sizes and directions as well as being misspelled-
I went back to college in the fall after contemplating quitting. I thank that guy every day.
 
Pain depends on location. Places where there isn't much muscle between skin and bone hurts a lot. Sternum, spine, side of ribs, armpit, etc. "Hurts" is relative of course, but if you had a hard time with a tattoo in easier spots then you should avoid the bad spots. If the easy spots didn't hurt for you at all, you can probably get one anywhere.

You have a brand? Who did it for you?

I've seriously wanted one since I was like 15.

I have two. I had two different friends give them to me that had done other people I knew (this was 15 years ago). I think I had two main problems. The one on my arm was a little low and didn’t hit where I had the most muscle mass. The one on my shoulder was in a spot with thin skin but it was right on my shoulder blade and I didn’t have consistent muscle mass and it kind of came out as half raised/half flat. This is all speculation though looking back after the fact.

Second mistake I didn’t do after-care properly because I was a drunken idiot at 23 years old.

I had friends offer to do mine but I don't want it ****** up or have to amputate my arm because they didn't know what they are doing

I want to see pics of this, sounds brutally painful.

One day us LB's showed up to our LB meeting and coach Skladany was sitting in there alone just laughing his ass off. He says "Hey I got a new tattoo". We are all like "Ok?" He says "I got a $100 bill tattooed on my ****. Because I like to play with my money, I like to watch my money grow and I don't mind of my wife blows my money." And he just continues to laugh hysterically for like the next 5 minutes.
 
If I see a photo of young me, and then look at myself in the mirror, I'm thankful that Young Me didn't get any tatoos.
