Don't make broad assumptions on what i have or haven't done. You're right, i haven't had any experience with wes.

Abbreviations always have apostrophes so it would definitely be Bro's, like in don't or won't or can't etc.

And like i said, it's personal to me, i don't care what other people think of what i'll have on me.

I might be making a big mistake, but everyone does, i'll learn from it. And, if it gets to me that much, ill cover it up.

Everyone's a critic.
Stop being a child and copying your mates. What happens when you fall in love with a nice girl who rejects you out of hand because you A) define on your body that all women are wes and B) you suggest that under any circumstances all woman will come second to your male friends (who incidentally will dump you in later life like hot diarrhoea when they hook into a decent bird in a few years). What is a nice girl supposed to think?

This will become an embarrassment in later life and you will regret it to your dying day. When common slang changes in five to ten years time, you will look unbelieveably stupid and crass, a complete cock-end.

I've read your defence and I don't think you are unarticulate or unintelligent. I'm simply disappointed that you cannot see the utter stupidity and naivety in your proposed course of action and I strongly counsel you against having such a tattoo. On the other hand, I could have you wrong and you are indeed as dumb as dogst.

I had this done in Singapore a few years ago by The Johnny Two Thumbs Studio

http://www.johnny2thumbtattoostudio.com/index.html

I had it done high so it wouldn't show when I'm wearing uniform.



It's not exactly major compared to some of the tats that show on this thread but I like it. The detail is so good and the lines are perfect Most times I don't even notice it and has become part of me. Some people are shocked when they see it because it doesn't fit in with my character and in Japan on a deployment I was wearing a sleeveless T shirt and was treated with utter contempt by people for having a tattoo as the only people in Japan who are tattoo'd are Yakuza aka mafia.

I might have another one but will be my choice.

This is what happens when people who know fk all about interior decorating start decorating. It goes out of fashion in 2mins flat. Only problem is, unlike interior decorating you can't just throw it in the skip. You're fked for life.

It's a choice, I like it and when the needle was in my armpit it hurt, a lot. But I don't regret it and I think you'll find that anybody with a tattoo that was done when they were sober or not pressured by their mates to have one will agree.

Outlaw biker - who are those comments directed at? Just wondering, as it's not too clear to me...

I don't have any tattoos. I'm not anti-tattoo. I'm a proffessional artist/graphic designer/animator/photgrapher. I watch Miami Ink religiously. I'd love to have a tattoo....in fact I'd love to cover myself from head to foot in tattoos...but for me its a case of finding something that really means something to me and always will, and not only that, it would have to be done by the best. By an artist I have repect for...someone like Henk Schiffmacher. I'd pay thousands. I cannot understand people who go into these cheap places, pick out some generic crap from the book and have it scarred onto them for life. Its meaningless junk. A tattoo for the sake of it.

Nobody in particular. I've just caught the trailing end of this thread so I've not seen much of it. Quickly clicked on a couple of pages, hated what I saw. Like I say, it does my fking head in when people take on such a permanent addition to their body without properly thinking it through. I tend to give everyone on this forum the benefit of the doubt as to level of intelligence/lack of chaviness. I lived my whole life in biker pubs, rock clubs....but, the one thing that make severyone equal is the ability to think creatively. Not to just wander into some tattoo parlour and get scarred for life 'cos its cool. That really pisses me off. Sheep mentality.

Ah, ok cool. I agree wholeheartedly.... It took me 10 years to come up with my design and then i've only got it done when i found the right person, and the right style for me.

And it's costing thousands... hehe

Wasn't sure if it was just an anti-ink rant so just wanted to balance things out, but clearly it wasn't... beer

You are most likely going to say I'm too young to understand what I'm saying and lay on all this "I'm older therefore know more than you" crap on me. But i have been in love, and i basically shut out my friends for the whole period i was with her which lead to me having pretty much fk all after i broke up. since then i have vowed not to be like that, and this is just a bit of a memory, coz its what all my friends said to me and i told them where to go. Obviously it is not a strict rule where if i can see my friends i'll choose them over my gf, but it's a reminder of what to not return to. Isn't that what tattoos are about? Reminders and memories of good or bad things?

Mate, don't do it. Firstly, its a fking stty looking tattoo. I mean, even assuming you're not going to get it done is those godawfull colours? Secondly, you're very young, and I'm actually going to have to patronise you now....but what you feel right now will seem ridiculous in few years time. But probably not as ridiculous as the stupid ill-thought tattoo. We've all been there. Women are sts, back-stabbing bhes from hell, but a few weeks/months/years later they're the best thing ever again.

Don't do it.

Plus, its a bit gay really isn't it?wink

Not criticising here as you have a right to decorate yourself however you choose, but as I am a total pedant I can't stop myself......

'Bro's before hoes' looks utterly illiterate to me. Apostrophes are mostly used to represent one, sometimes two letters missing from the middle of a word, rarely the end as it leads to confusion with possessive apostrophes. Longer abbreviations are often represented by full stops (So for example General Secretary is shown as Gen. Sec., rather that Gen' Sec', or Hon. Mem., or M.P., or nem. con., etc.). And as 'ho' is an abbreviation of we, why no apostrophe there, one either side as in fish 'n' chips? Or should it be 'ho.s? scratchchin

On the other hand, I doubt you'll get many people questioning your grammar in the tattoo shop.

Oh ok...I actually really quite like that. The style is very much the type of thing I'm interested in, and the technique looks flawless. Who did it and where? PM me if you like...


I'll have to dig out this Batfink one I really like....

I'll not lecture you further; I've said my bit. So go ahead and do it. Maybe you could get the tattoo guy to add "act in haste, repent at leisure" whilst he's at it.

At their pinnacle and on the right person, tattoos are a unique and amazing artform. However, I would suggest that a good 90+% of tattoos I've ever seen are crap. What you have proposed is the artistic equivalent of graffitti on the back of a public toilet door. It will diminish your life chances and you'll be laughed at by your peers for the rest of your days. And for what? Just to remind you not to drop your mates? Madness. Your call.
