Ocean11 0 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Which of yous in this magnificent community has tattoos? And why? Apart from a few surgical scars and misc. rip marks from 'incidents', my skin is as pristine as the day I was born. But maybe you have a pattern of barbed wire round your arm, or a rosebud on your shoulder, or a dragon on your scalp. Do tell... Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Tats are sad, I really hate them. And so not sexy. I think so. Link to post Share on other sites

xxx 2 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Hey you lots. Lay off the tats. I have a small one on my ankle. Why? Long story, but involves lots of alcohol, (now ex-) girlfriend, her friend and a party in Roppongi. Don't regret it, looks well cool Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 xxx, nothing worse than regretting what's essentially undo-able eh? If I had gotten decorated, I'd don't think I'd waste a moment regretting it. But hey, why not tell us the whole story. It's not like we're too busy going snowboarding to read it or anything...

white-void 0 Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Tats are a bit divvy if you ask me...... Link to post Share on other sites
Raury 0 Posted May 6, 2002 Share Posted May 6, 2002 I have a tatt of a gecko climbing up and around the top of my arm. It is a talisman for rock-climbing as geckos are THE most amazing climbing creatures ever. Link to post Share on other sites
white-void 0 Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 How big is it Raury? Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted May 7, 2002 Share Posted May 7, 2002 Got no probs with people wanting to brand themselves like cattle. One wonders at the contradiction offered by the tat, however. Some tatooees(?) seem to delight in presuming that they are free and individual, and those of us who refuse to advertise our allegences are somewhat repressed, square sticklers for rules, bourgeoisie hypocrites, etc, etc. Lets not forget the tribal roots of the tatoo, and the servitudinal group nature it denotes. Just like the design? Great! [This message has been edited by miteyak (edited 07 May 2002).] Link to post Share on other sites
akemi 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 Yey! Hi. I have very small cute tattoo on by lower back in shape of heart. It's really cool. akemi < > Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 9, 2002 Author Share Posted May 9, 2002 Yo! akemi, post photos! Let's have a look at it then. If you do, I'll post a shot of the Nike mark scar on my hand and tell the sorry tale of how I got it (it involves lads breaking beer glasses on their heads - for shame!)

Raury 0 Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 white-void, it is about 90mm long. I have a photo at home, so I will find it, host it and post it. Link to post Share on other sites

michael2 0 Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 How much did that cost you then? I have no idea how much these things are. Link to post Share on other sites
Raury 0 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 rach, do you really want to see a half naked snow-boarder? michael2, it cost me AU$100. That is fairly cheap, but as it was only black, and not too detailed it only took about 1hr or so. Link to post Share on other sites
michael2 0 Posted May 14, 2002 Share Posted May 14, 2002 Are tats expensive in Japan? Are there many places to have em done??? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 14, 2002 Author Share Posted May 14, 2002 I don't know about getting them done, but I do know that getting them undone costs a huge amount of money and pain - literally 'a pound of flesh' if you go for the skin graft rather than laser treatment. I know people who have had one or the other treatment done in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Akemi, how does "your man" (if you have one right now) like it, if you don't mind me asking? Just interested to know..... Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Raury - why did you get that? Link to post Share on other sites
Raury 0 Posted May 27, 2002 Share Posted May 27, 2002 The gecko is a talisman. I am into indoor rock-climbing. It is a wonderful sport. Develops stamina, upper-body strength, elasticity/stretch. Gecko's have three ways of attaching themselves to a surface: 1) with their fingers like we humans do, 2) with suctions cups that they form with all the little hairs on their hands 3) electrostatic cling, again with all the little hairs on their hands So I got the tattoo as a talisman so that I have a link with the ability of the gecko - maybe kinda freaky sounding, but thats the story.
