Heya guys!

So I felt that there are probably a fair few people out here with tats and that they might want to share them with us.

Here you can post about your ideas and discuss them. You can also post pictures of your ink and tell your fellow OC3Ders why you got it. You may also post how much it cost, how long it took and where you had it done (but no advertising). If you passed out, we want to know! :lol:

Simple 'rules':
1. If you have one, don't just describe it. Take a pic! ;)
2. Don't post tattoos that are placed on inappropriate body parts.
3. If you have a tattoo that contains 18+ content (you're smart enough to decide that for yourself), don't hotlink it. Instead, put a warning that it is NSFW and then post the direct link to the image.

I'll start off:

Got this one last Tuesday and it was my first. Got plans for more, but this will have to do for now. It's on my lower-left leg and it's a white lotus, covered in black ink. It took 4 hours and cost me a total of €300,- (Around 250 quid), not bad at all. Got it done at Alpha Ink in the Netherlands.

The reason I got it is quite simple. Without making things seem more dramatic than they are I've had times in my life where I just didn't feel like doing anything. I had no real hobbies, not really any friends, no job and because of that I didn't do too well in school either. But then I figured that if I had nothing to lose anyway, I'd just do all the shit I've ever dreamed of. I joined an ice hockey club, made some new friends, got myself a job to afford the things that I wanted to do and life turned around.

I may not be a doctor or a lawyer later, may not make as much money, but I don't care. My future plans are to be, and stay happy and that's all that matters! :)

So why this? Simply put; I liked that idea that under that black ink, there's still a beautiful flower. More in-depth; It's an album art by a band called Eyes Set To Kill. When their record company told them to go f themselves they set up their own little record label under which they put out this album. They spent a lot of their money on it, and it wasn't their best album, but making music is what made them feel good so it was all okay. They later got signed at a new record label! Kind of relates to my story, huh?

Now, pictures!

So that's it!

Can't wait to see some of the ink of my fellow OC3D members! ;)
 
Nice!
I might get a tattoo when I'm 18, but not entirely sure yet :p

Thanks :)

My advice would be; If you have a meaning, go for it! If you're in doubt, don't do it. Can always do it later :p

And don't get an image just because you like how it looks, or at least not at that age and as your first ;)

Yeah, I don't really have a meaning.
Maybe a dragon to describe how manly I am :lol:
Or like in the "Amstel" advertisement. Chinese letters which spell out "beer" so I can order beer in chinese restaurants just by lifting my arm up :p
EDIT: someone from the Power Unlimited (gaming magazine) has a Nintendo tat on his leg.
I might get an AMD tat on my leg or a goomba on my rear-end :lol:
Now more seriously, I used to get bullied a lot, but now I have a solid friend group, maybe something to do with that, like a rose. Small at the beginning, but when fully grown, big and amazing.

Both are WIP's

The Dragon/Skull still has some alterations and some white highlights to go in, the Angel still has a ton of work to go, probably another 6 hrs or so to finish top half of both arms.

Edit : All pics are right after it was done, so obviously they are not as black and red/angry looking.
 
I know what I want.
Last year both of my grandma's passed away. My favourite one too (obviously, I only had two grandma's).
When I was staying there, we'd always get something from the snackbar, and we would feed the left overs to the bird. I was thinking a bird on my right arm or something. Would make me think back to those good memories every time I'd look at it.

Nice mate! I really like the angel one! Any story behind it? :)
 
Not really mate, just liked the image I found online. Still got a fiar bot to do to it, but these things are spendy :/
 
Depend on what day of the week it is :)

It'll be a while anyway, I have 2 kids and a next gen console to fund this year so will probably be into 2014 before I go back.
 
Found the disadvantage of tats on your leg. A hairy flower isn't all that pretty :lol: Guess I'll have to shave. Oh, and its itchy as foock.

Has anyone here ever done a stick and poke tattoo and do you have pics of it?

I'm really tempted to do it just for the heck of it :p

Glad this thread was created because the idea of getting a tattoo often pops into my head, it did today actually. I don't really know what I want yet, I don't want something for the sake of it, their needs to be a meaning.

I'm 21 though, so life has only just started and there are a lot of things I want to accomplish, so maybe hold on and wait is the answer for now. Looking forward to seeing what everybody else has though.

If you want something, get it. No excuses :p
All I'm saying is, don't hold on and wait for too long.

Definitely get something with a meaning imho, especially as your first. Just hang back and see when you run into something that makes you think "Wow, that suits me so well".

Or design your own, that's always a good thing ;)
 
Here is my Tattoo, resembles a part of my life when music was the biggest influence i had. It is a logo of the band "Biffy Clyro"



I have this tattoo lined up in a few weeks ready for EuroGamer. Can you tell what it is?

I really like that one. The fact that it's a puzzle piece makes it even more epic.
For me, music is also really important and I can't imagine that to ever change.

That's also the reason why my stick & poke tat looks the way it does.

Do I see a Final Fantasy tattoo there? ;)

The puzzle piece is to signify that music filled up an empty part of life.

Yes you do lol can you tell me which FF and who it belongs to?

I thought it might have been part of the logo. I've never heard of that band :p
Good tattoo though, properly like it!

And I honestly can't... :(
