Those are all awesome.  I have 3, but you have to know me fairly well to get to see them.   :P

Uh-oh. Now, you know we have over-active imaginations at the best of times.  ;D

I don't have any. That is odd amongst my cohorts, as most of my friends and my wife all have one or more. I'm not against getting one, I just have never been moved enough to get one.

Part of it is I see my grandfather's tattoo on his forearm. He showed me a picture of it when he first got it when he joined the military. It was an eagle grasping an olive branch in its talons. Now it is a black blob. That scares me, even though I assume the tattoo technology of today is much better than in the early 40s when he got his. But the fact that they can fade and warp, and are so permanent means I have to have the right design and the right location before I'll jump in with both feet.

I don't have any and don't intend to, now.  I just don't fancy any, and Mrs Git would go bananas.

I have a collection of decent scars (not scarification), and consider them more than adequate for my hide decoration needs. None of them are really ugly any more, at least.  ;)

I have some nasty scars on my left shin, which is why I've been thinking of having them tattooed over. Not sure how fashionable large shin tattoos are though.

Every trend needs someone to kick it off.
Some ideas are so stupid only an intellectual could believe them (Orwell).

they look good on the Japanese men i've seen them on. Japanese tattoos are my absolute favorite.

Just warning ya. The shins be a mighty painful spot.

Hmm...will have to do more googling of leg tattoos. I'm not even sure if it would be possible to do on the area I'm thinking of. The skin is very thin and hyperpigmented around the actual scars, and hurts like hell if I whack it (which I try to avoid). Even so, if the end result looked good, I'd endure it.



(you get the idea . . . it would have to cover a significant amount of surface area)

Tattoos over bone hurt like a sonofabitch. I don't think it'd be exaggerating to say that getting my foot tattoo done was excruciating. I'm glad I got it done, but I wouldn't get one on my other foot any time soon.

Do they not use numbing gels or something of the sort these days? Barbarians.

Hahaha, not where I've gone! I don't even think it would help, actually. It's the metal-y bits vibrating on your bones that really hurts. I don't think numbing the skin would really help.  :-\
