What are your opinions on guys with stretched lobes?

Tyler

I've been thinking about starting to stretch my ear lobes out and get a few piercings and tattoos. My Mom and Grandmother are completely against it and would be furious. So I want some opinions from different people (who are unbiased towards me) on what your feelings are on guys who have piercings/gauges etc.

Answer
I'm a girl, and I am all for body art - provided it's thought out, well planned, and professionally done. There is nothing worse than being uncomfortable in your own skin, and if you have dodgy tattoos and wonky piercings, you won't feel so great.

The generations before us fought for freedom of expression, now they criticise our generation for doing that. Ultimately, it is your skin, and if you feel like decorating it with piercings and tattoos, that is YOUR decision and they need to live with it.

My father and my grandparents HATE all my tattoos and piercings. But there's not a lot they can do about it. I work in an industry that accepts body modification (Photojournalist, specialising in live music photography), and each of my 24 tattoos has a very deep meaning behind it. I've also stretched my ears to 10mm (0 gauge), and I love it.

Personally, I don't like the look of streched ears much more than 12mm, and from a healing point of view, if you go larger than 10mm, or stretch too fast, when you decide to take your tunnels/plugs out and let your lobes heal, they won't really heal that well. So please keep that in mind.

I say go for it if you want to - just make sure tattoos MEAN SOMETHING TO YOU, not just some brutal design for the sake of being 'cool', and any work you get done is profession and you look after it as your tattooist/piercer recommends.

Good luck.

How to change this tattoo design to seem less dark/emo?

Aela

I was thinking of getting a realistic open cut wound on the inside of my forearm stitched up with music notes. Could I move it somewhere else on my arm?

Answer
I don't know.. Maybe, have it across your back or higher chest. I don't if this is a guy or girl. Talk to the guy at the tattoo shop and maybe he could draw something not so emo'ish lol Sorry Didnt help to much.. :/ I would if I could!

When I say nostalgic tattoos what do you think of?

tattoos for girls music designs image

Throbbing

I'm designing an nostalgic tattoo sleeve and so far I have, a pin up girl for upper arm as the main piece, then for the rest of the sleeve I've got a cassette tape, the old style silver grate microphones, with maybe a lyric bannered around it, a phonograph and maybe a few playing cards.. What else can I put on the sleeve that will fit this theme!! I realise my suggestions were music based, but they don't have to be, was all I could think of

Answer
Nostalgic to me is things from the past that are super memorable, like grease comes to mind, and happy days, with the jukebox and glasses and leather jackets and all that.

what is a good tattoo for a violinist?

Maggie

I have played the violin for 15 years and want a tattoo related to this...any suggestions on what I should get? I am a college age girl.

Answer
heres mine:

I had it done with more of a rustic drawing appearance because I'm in love with playing baroque era music. The artist matched the reddish brown hues of my violin perfectly

If you don't decide to get your instrument done, pick out a few bars from a piece you like to play. You could even combine both and get the measures scrolling around a violin. If you want the design to symbolize how you've grown as a musician through the years, you could get a smaller violin leaning on a bigger one.

I'm sure you have at least a couple of ideas going through your head. Write everything down and take it in with you when you go to get it done. If there are images you want for reference, bring those as well. Talking with the artist about what you want will help them draw up something that you will absolutely love.

What is the story behind your tattoo? What are the general reactions you get when you display it/them?

Elena

also, how did you choose the location of your tattoo? do you think there's a particular location or particular tattoos 'unsuitable' for girls/boys?

Answer
story: i have a music tattoo and i came up with the design myself. i had the idea since i was 16 but never really put it down on paper and then around the time i was 18 i started designing it in photoshop and it took me 3 days to get it exactly how i wanted it. at first i wanted the phrase around it to be in italian (language that music is written in i.e. forte pianissimo) but when i checked different online translators and asked my sister in law (who knows italian but it's not her first language, greek is) i got different answers. so my first 2 days of designing had gone down the drain. so on the 3rd day i got it done, knew i liked it and took it to the shop to see how much it would be. they told me because of the lettering that it would have to be a bit bigger than what i wanted it but i still love it.

Reactions: everyone that saw it, loved it, except for my parents. they're not too big on tattoos and when i first showed them it was right after i got it done. so it didn't look very pretty at the time because it was swollen and red. after a while my step mom said that it was starting to grown on her and looked better now that it was healed up.

Location: i chose my shoulder because 1) i liked how it looked 2) it's easy to hide and show off

Location pt2: there aren't really any spots that i would consider unsuitable. mostly on girls i don't like tattoos on the calf or front of the thigh or really the bakc of the thigh unless it's continuous from a back tattoo. guys should just try and get it anyplace where they don't have a lot of hair lol.
