Seems we have some great tats here... anyone have pictures on the web so we can take a gander?
I was looking at some tattoos over at the site for The Crow (movie and graphic novel) and some are just amazing works of art.
Originally posted by elvendreamgirlI totally agree with this. The tattoos I think are misguided are when people chose something that isn't unique and don't have special meaning conveying something about who they are. It makes me shiver when I hear kids say "I'm going to get a tattoo" but when asked of what they don't know - they're getting a tattoo just to have one because they're cool.
[b]Tattoos ... make us part of our tribe or peer group, and they make us unique. It's sort of like the old suitcases with all the stickers on them. This is where I have been, this is what I am.
Also the problem with tattoos that link us to a specific group is that our peer groups can change. I'd have tattoos myself but I know that I don't know who I really am enough yet.

I don't have any tattoos, but I have in interesting story.
Last year (2003) I went on winter Phish tour. And I met this girl who had three tatoos. She had a Phish logo on one thigh and a Primus logo on the other.
On her left butt cheek she had the F word and on her right butt cheek she had "you."
I meet such interesting people...
