It's even worse when you try to convince a memorial date/name customer to instead get an artistic image inspired by the person rather than just boring text. Nine times out of ten the answer to this is "I don't want to pay that much."

Well then you obviously don't care about it as much as you want people to think you do. :colbert:

It should be mentioned that the people I knew wanting memorial tattoos wanted the name, date, and portrait on a high-schooler's budget.

Yeah, my sister wants just one tattoo (for now, at least), which is the birth date and death date of our father tattooed in an inconspicuous place, when he dies. My sister isn't stupid so she's not going to do it in a very visible place, somewhere she can cover it up really easily, which is the way I like those kinds of tattoos. They're a very personal, private and very permanent monument to someone you love.

Getting something like that in a very visible place just screams for attention, though, and I always wonder whether those people enjoy the first month or so of everyone asking them "what does it mean?" (which they want) after which they get sick of it and regret getting it. Then again, that's probably a significant portion of bad tattoos anyway.

I have my friend's initials and a simple design in the background in a pretty discrete place, to this day it's still my favorite tattoo and I think maybe five people total have seen it. I think it's a really cool way to remember someone if it's done well.

Is it normal to plan out a memorial tattoo before the person dies?

Here is a guy who wants to be a model. He has dumb stuff tattooed on his face and body.

With deep explanations like "I’ll go on YouTube and listen to all the big hits and I’ll just take words from these songs. For example, ‘Top of the World’ is from the song by The Cataracs, but it’s also what I want. I want to rule the world."
The chest hair is also tattooed on.

Haha love how he has baise moi on it, which basically is "gently caress me" in french.

Not that this isn't terrible, because it is, but I don't think the red here is tattooed on. That's exactly what the shading on my B&W only tattoo looks like when it's fresh.

Good choice. Coz when you are getting the name of a video game tattooed on your arms, be sure to get the sequel.

He did get the original, but when 2 came out, he just added a "2". When 3 comes out, then it'll be "3". Also "CTR" on the head of his dick.

My high school English teacher was one of the hip, younger, spent-large-chunks-of-class-just-talking-to-the-students-about-his-life type teachers.
One story he told us was about when he was in a hospital waiting room, taking a break from visiting his premi baby. He had a talk with another dad, who was there because his daughter was born without an anus.
He told us that, now, whenever something gets him down, he just thinks, "Well, at least I have an anus." This is a philosophy that I have now adopted.

Last night I had a really vivid dream about having a bunch more tattoos. In the dream I loving loved them. When I woke up I was really excited to tell my girlfriend about these amazing tattoo ideas my subconscious came up with. I started explaining them to her, and quickly realized they were all really stupid and bad.

Anyways I think I experienced the whole cycle of getting a regretful drunk tattoo in the least destructive way possible.

They actually let me do that for a couple of my kids after I cut the umbilical cord. You usually have to ask beforehand, though.
