YellowSnow 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Author Share Posted November 14, 2006 I also checked out http://www.hanzismatter.com/ (safe for work). But in the end may have some kanji myself. Though I dont think yoroshiku will go down well in onsens. Link to post Share on other sites
Oyuki kigan 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 after seeing those, i can live fairly secure knowing that no matter how inane or crappy my tattoo is, someone has one WAY worse. i can sleep at night now, thanks O11 Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 Yellow Snow - good for you, but since you've decided 100 percent, why bother asking anyone's opinion about the consequences? You've decided to face them regardless. Apart from being banned from a few onsens and sports clubs, I suspect the consequences won't be very serious. And you'll never be short of a conversation starter at parties - believe me, my friends bore people silly with their now-defunct band names etc. Just remember - 13 NOT 31 Link to post Share on other sites

Oyuki kigan 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 No, Manwoman is a canadian painter from my hometown. He`s claimed to have many religious experiences and dreams, one of which told him to bring back the swastika as a symbol of ood luck before it was corrupetd by the Nazis. He`s written a book about the history of the swastika, and has swastikas from all different cultures tattooed on his body. Except his forehead. He has a flame there instead, symbolizing his 3rd eye. Wierd dude, but really nice. i worked for him for a short while. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 > I don't want to see any Mauresmos or Thai Ladyboys O11 You know that WTF? things dogs do with their heads, cocking them from side to side? I do that when I see Thai Ladyboys. But there are none of them on that site. ManWoman looks pretty cool, and I can now see more clearly where Oyuki is coming from. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 A bag of crisps might be a good idea for a tattoo, if indeed the whole idea of marking yourself was good in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites
