Okay, so I know there are a lot of tattoo artists in here, and I didnt see anything in SA-Mart. I want to get a second tattoo, and after the fiasco of my first tattoo, I dont want to get a cringe worthy tattoo deserving of this thread. Whats the best way to take what I have in my mind and have some one get it into a design that would look good on me?

Oh man, some idiot I watch on deviantART (from when I would just watch-back anyone who watched me in the first place,) just posted this gem.



Also note that this is on a guy.

He's a white boy from NZ. His last name is Mort hence the tat, the "Mafia" is apparently some group made up of his "boys" and last I heard they were all going to get the same tat.

I don't normally like to post failbook photos, but this one seems appropriate.

No idea if the comment is correct though?

I really wouldn't put it beyond a hipster to deliberately get a Chinese tattoo that said 'picnic table'.

A TEENAGER who paid £90 to have his arm tattoed with Chinese characters got a shock when he learned the message read: 'At the end of the day, this is an ugly boy.'
Hairdresser Lee Becks thought he had Mandarin for 'Love, honour and obey' etched into his skin.
The 18-year-old found out that he had been tricked when he saw the effect it had on a woman serving at a Chinese take-away.
'At first, she said something about me making people laugh and talked about a crown,' he said.
'But then I realised she was really saying clown, not crown. The young woman blushed and was very reluctant to translate for me. Then she admitted what it really said.'
A 'totally mortified' Mr Becks went back to the tattoo parlour in Southend, the next day - only to find it had closed.
He added: 'I suspect the tattooist knew he was closing and just wanted to get his own back for some reason. I always wanted a tattoo and the design looked great. Now I am stuck with it but have to keep it covered up.'
When he dared show off his arm at a nightclub, a group of Chinese girls came up - and burst out laughing. Even his friends have been finding it hard to keep straight faces.
His employer, Gary Doyle, said: 'He's a bit sensitive about the tattoos - they look very trendy if you don't know what they really mean. I don't think Lee stands much of a chance with any attractive young Chinese lady he may meet.'
Mr Becks plans to spend £600 to have the tattoo removed by laser

I think it almost definitely was covering an 8 ball tattoo, you can see the circles that make it up. I can see the Aardvark at the top too but I think it could also be a Clanger!!

This is why you shouldn't get tattooed in a language you don't understand.

One of my friends has a My Little Pony tattoo, but to be fair, she has like them since she was a kid and still has all her My Little Pony toys. She got it way before the show came out and every hipster had one.

Or am I missing something something massively obvious? (If I am I retract the above rant).

OK, what the gently caress is this. Is everybody just going to start posting Sailor Jerry style tattoos? Yes they look a bit cartoonish, but that was the style at the time. If you look at old school flash, thats what most of the tattoos look like.

Looking at the one above, all I can see wrong with it is the neck is a bit funny. And the legs look a bit big, but that could just be perspective. Or am I missing something something massively obvious? (If I am I retract the above rant).
