Thinking about getting a tattoo...

exactly like this one:

Not really. I am scared stiff of needles, and I have a very low threshold for pain. I’m a sissy. Plus I think this tattoo is pretty ridiculous.

Mario! In all his barrel dodgin’ glory!

Good. You should be, and who doesn’t. Not so. Understatement.

That’s awesome!

Beautiful work. :slight_smile:

Oh, yes I am. Perhaps not specifically because I won’t be getting a tattoo, but I am certainly a sissy. People pretend to punch me and I say “Ow!”

Really. :laughing:

Well, my theory is it is better to say “Ow!” while they are still pretending to punch you than hold off until they really punch you. I guess I’m a sissy too :laughing: .

Me :slight_smile:

:laughing:

Me too :sunglasses:

Me three.
:wink:

It’s a very well done tattoo from what I can tell, though a bit too Nintendoesque for my tastes. I prefer the Edinburgh Tattoo really.

This is the stuff :sunglasses:

Tattoo by Horiyoshi III.

I’m a fan of most traditional japanese stuff and I’m thinking about getting a nice japanese tattoo some time. Not that big of course, don’t want to look like a Yakuza. And besides it would cost a fortune and take ages to complete.

Don’t get one if you intend on coming to Japan.

You will be banned from most hot springs, swimming pools, and many other places at the discretion of the owner.

New Scientist this week had an article (regurgitating a scientific paper)
about how tattooed areas of skin are less sensitive that untattooed areas.


Who’d a thunk it?

Oh, I think it was done with Sharpie Markers. :laughing:

I’m with you on the Edinburgh Tattoo!

Does that go for all tattoos or just the japanese traditional ones?

I don’t care about the hot springs and swimming pools. I care about the restaurants. :stuck_out_tongue:

All of my tats are concealed when I wear long sleeves and trousers, so I’ll be ok. :slight_smile:

It took a couple of passes, but I finally got this, so – Me, too.

Hey, Congrats!

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! :smiling_imp:

I wonder what that Mario tat is going to look like in twenty years. :astonished:

Shrivelled. :smiling_imp:
