Tattoo You? - Page 6

I hate to be a spoilsport, Ibram, but have you confirmed that translation with an actual Chinese speaker?

Ibby · 08-09-2009, 08:10 PM

Steve, I am an actual Chinese speaker.

Ibby, I'm getting you to proof-read any Chinese tattoos that I ever get.

. . . What? It could happen!

SteveDallas · 08-09-2009, 08:30 PM

Good, then you're all set.

Ibby · 08-09-2009, 08:37 PM

The tattooist who did the tattoo told me not to drink alcohol or eat spicy food for a week after getting the tattoo. Is that true? How the hell can spicy food damage my tattoo?

Elspode · 08-09-2009, 09:22 PM

Chemical burns from the hot sauce?

ZenGum · 08-10-2009, 02:10 AM

Both alcohol and hot food could dilate the capillaries near the surface ... leading to ... mmm dunno, blurring?

Unless you had your arse tattooed; but that would be tail-posting.

I had planned to get a small souvenir tat in Japan. A small koi, I thought - then learned that each color has its own meaning and it became An Important Decision instead of a fun vacation quest. And I saw no shops in Tokyo anyway, though there must be some there somewhere.

Tattoos are always An Important Decision.

First one: Pooh wearing a Queensryche t-shirt on my right hip. 20 minute decision, 20 dollar tattoo, not thrilled, but don't hate it.
Second one: Tri-ryche tramp stamp. 2 year decision, 100 dollar tattoo, liked it pretty much.
Third one: self-drawn multi-colored pisces symbol, one fish represents me, the other my daddy (R.I.P.) using the tri-ryche to hold them together (lower back.) Four hours and four hundred dollars later, I LOVE IT. Have never regretted it.
Future one: a lion fish for the little Leo Princess OTR. Probably left shoulder - waiting til I'm sure.

Oh....so that's where your name comes from! I had wondered about that.

no, I'm not an Egocentric Nazi, just an 80s music fan =)

Hear hear. I wear my wedding band around my neck too--I have an obnoxious habit of removing it absentmindedly when I drive, type, wash dishes, eat, etc. When it's on a chain, it's much harder to lose.

Got my first tat a week ago yesterday. The evolution of the design lasted several months (you can see the awful first draft and rough second draft, but I don't recommend staring too long).

The final product, I'm absolutely thrilled with.

So, you recommend Pop's Tattoo. I have 2 more designs that I have never gotten done. so maybe I will go there. The last tat I got was about 5 years ago, and was done by a guy I met at Gold's Gym who was a chef and did tattoos in his spare time. He did an excellent job, but I have not known where to go since he left town.

Glad you were able to read! (Just migrated servers and the host has been experiencing super-slow pageloads.) I had a great time with Craig and to reiterate, I highly recommend his services. He's a great guy, but straightforward--and since tattoos are a part of you for the rest of your life, I greatly appreciate that.
