Tattoos anyone?

[Carter_Blane]

I don't know what I want yet. That is one reason I have not done it. I don't want just anything, just for the sake of having one.

And don't get the one of your girlfriend! Instead, both of you decide on a symbol that means something to you both, and use that instead. That way, if you break up later on, the tat will be something you can live with.

I know what you mean, and yeah that's a thought!

One of the tattoos for an ex is the infinity symbol, over my heart!

Its a good symbol!

Wow, thank you for sharing! Your tattoos and the reasons you got them are very interesting. I think it's neat you are studying to be a zoologist. Do you have a favorite zoo you like to go to?

I like to visit all zoo's! Don't have a favorite zoo though!

 

[Carter_Blane]

Slightly off topic here, but what will you be qualified for at the end of your zoology training. Obviously it has something to do with caring for animals in a zoo environment. Is working with animals your ultimate career goal?

It qualifies you to care for animals, analize the behavior, dietary needs, etc.. And yes it is, i would eventually like to study animals in Africa. lol. Hey DREAM BIG!

That's about where I am Carter. I used to hate tattoos on people. But as the fashions trended more in that direction I got used to them. Just like you and others have said though, it all depends on how tasstefully they are done and if they have personal symbolic meaning to the person. I don't get it when people plaster permanent random tattoos all over themselves like spray painted graffitti on some delapidated wall in a bad part of town. haha (Like in the photos of the man earlier in the thread) If the majority of them are all impulse buys while out on the town drunk with friends, that's not such a good thing. If they are thought out, well placed, and hold meaning to the person...then why not?


I love MissD's tattoo for her favorite model. haha

On your newest tattoo Carter, is it written in Latin or English? Is it, "Veni, Vidi, Vici"?

It is in English and it is in a graffiti like font.

glad i read all the post before asking if it was in latin!
if it had read, 'veni, vidi, vici', you would have moved to the top of my favorites list. lol
reading those words on a beautiful body would turn me on.
they say, drive, vision and strength in just three simple words.
generally when it comes to tattoos it depends on design and location. and on who!

I love tattoos. Usually the tribal kinds, I find them sexy. I remember this porn actor Logan McCree who has tons of tattoos and particularly on his head. It may seem too much for a lot of people but I find him extremely sexy.

Holy Cow! For a second I thought that guy was you...nearly gave me serious heart palpitations.

I'm very fond of tattoos, though I wouldn't say they're a turn on. I just think they're beautiful. I have three of them myself. One on my middle back(not a tramp stamp), a portrait of Lilith on my left side, and a golden owl on my right hip. Each of my tattoos holds a very special meaning and if anyone is curious, I wouldn't mind explaining them. I'm actually quite proud of them.

They sound great! Along with an explanation, I think we'd like to see pictures...

BTW, Welcome to the Forum! Good to have you here!

So that tat on my upper/middle back is my astrological identity, which is Gemini. It's got the Roman numeral two as its base. Now sitting on top of the two is the moon in Mercury which looks like two circles, one inside the other. The larger outer circle is bright red and that's mercury(which is my planet) and the moon lies just inside Mercury and inside the moon there's the wolf Lupa, who according to Greek and Roman mythology, raised the twins Romulus and Remus. On the side of Mercury there's two faces that further represent the twins. One looks sweet while the other looks quite devilish. It's a very detailed tattoo and is a pain to try and describe. I might just post pics so my description will make more sense. It's also my favorite tattoo and was the most expensive.

The one on my left side is a full body portrait of Lilith and the serpent. Lilith to me represents defiance and independence. And strength. I know most people equate her with evil and chaos but the woman defied God and man and sought her own destiny. She didn't jusr meekly accept the roles she was told she had to and instead made her own rules. She encompasses everything that is strong in a woman. At least that's my perception of her.

The owl on my right hip is actually Athena's owl, representing wisdom and knowledge. It's actually done more in jewel tones as opposed to being solid gold.

Wow! I love it! They all sound great! I love that they all are individual, specific to you, and have wonderful meanings! Im even more curious to see them now!

They really do sound amazing! I'm a Gemini too and I'd love to see a pic of your tattoo.

The golden owl intrigues me!

Sorry Bobbity,

I had not read your description when I posted. I understand about the owl now. So cool. Buck up and post the tat pics! LOL
