At first I thought it was the octopus from that Gentle Giant album, but I guess not. There's something delightfully nerdy about the thought of getting a prog rock tattoo (other than that terrible Dark Side of the Moon one that I think was in the previous thread).

The tattoo itself is okay, I do like the stylization, but it's not something I would get myself. My biggest peeve about it though is it seems like a "getting my first tattoo, better be on my hand and lower arm so everyone will see it!" spur-of-the-moment hipster thing.

It doesn't look like a spur-of-the-moment tattoo to me. It looks planned in advance especially for its size and style. Which makes it even worse because while the idea of stylization is ok - it's absolutely atrocious here. It looks like somebody with high school art class skills designed it and not an artist - there's no sense of proportions or forms and the linework of the hachure is completely awful. Ugh.

She does seem to have a similarly crappy tattoo on her upper arm so it's probably not her first piece.

I have a friend with something very similar; her story at least is that it was a drawing her toddler did one morning during breakfast, and he was killed in a car accident a few hours later. So she had it tattooed over her heart.:smithicide:

At the gym today I saw a 40-something dad-type guy with no other body modifications, ink or otherwise with three diamonds pierced in a line on each forearm.

What do you call it when there is no exit hole? These things were just imbedded there, and were red and slightly swollen.

Its so strange when people suddenly get a rather extreme or uniquely placed form of body modification as their first.

Some tattoos that popped up for "undies tattoo" under a GIS. No clue why, but they are tasteless.

They were probably dermal anchors. Forearms seems like a pretty bad place. One snag and you're hosed.

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you "run out" of designs? I know there is a stencil pattern that the artist kind of tattoos over freehand, but I thought that was inked in too (I have a small one and you can still kind of see the outline). Don't tattoo artists design their own much of the time? If so, how do you "run out" of something that you create on a person's body?

I guess it's been a long drat time since I got my single, solitary (regretted) tattoo.

You could replace those with the stupid NorCal star and sparrow and it would be perfect.
