Tattoo's? Who has them and can we see it?
 

Hi,

I'm new to this forum but I love japan and japanese culture (O.k. I had a japanese girlfriend and since then... you know how women can open you're eyes to new things).

SO as my first post I thought it'd be cool to see if any of you have tattoos?


Im 27, British (Gaijin right?) and 6ft2. I have one tattoo. The tattoo I have is of a phoenix but hidden in the tail is my ex-girlfriends name, J E N.

I bet you can't see it. I drew this tattoo myself and I got it done in Bali. My girlfriend bought it as a present and she liked that her name was hidden inside it as a secret. I will give you a clue, the name is in the tail.

Also do you all like tattoos? Do you think they are horrible? Id like to know what the japanese and anyone else thinks.

Id love to see anyone elses tattoos and reasons why you got them...

I love tatoos but I am still a littl bit too young to get one. (I'm 16 and have to be 18 without paren'ts permission).

My first one is going to be a celtic cross on my shoulder. =]

Celtic Cross
 

Would you get a large cross or small?

And why a celtic cross? Are you irish? Im curious as to why you would choose it.

I choose a phoenix as they are reborn out of fire and I thought that was a good metaphor for the realtionship I had with my ex, it also had her name in it so I thought it tired up nicely.

I really want one.....but my Mum would kill me....
Although I'm 18......Life sucks.....

I want a small salamander....

Why a Salamander? I think I know type you mean. They do look cool. How big?

I love reptiles...that's why...

Right under my belly...so..hm...maybe 10cm..

I love tattoos. Already planning future ones.
I would really like to get some sort of story or motto or something written down my spine. :3 Then I'd like to have '2112' tattooed on my wrist and the Kanji for my name (nan) somewhere. Maybe my upper arm or something. *shrugs* I don't know.

Why 2112 on ur wrist?

Is a Kanji the way you're name is written in japanese? I don't know what a Kanji is so you'll have to teach me.

Any particular story spring to mind?

2112 is my dob. :3 And yes. My name written will be ''ナン''

Ehm. No, not yet. But it has to be something very wise. *giggle*

I want one of a wolf I love wolfs!
