The Anime Tattoo
Nah. Would be a lot better to have the Japanese logo for Tenchi Muyo putkisara wrote:I'm seriously thinking about betting the WeiB logo tattooed to my arse. *ahem*
there. That way whenever anyone may ask you what it means (hey...I
don't know how often you'd show it off), you can truthfully answer:
"This end up."

Anime tatts aren't the best things to get done for the reasons that everyone's outlined already- you may like it for a few years but chances are you'll want to get rid of it in 10 or so.
I've considered a design for several years, it's a Japanese sumie drawing of swordsman Musashi Miyamoto with the 'Bushido' Kanji/Katakana combined. I'd have it on my inside right forearm, traditionally known as a samurai's Sword arm. At a later date I may have a demon on my left arm for balance. To an extent I belive in the Taoist Yin-Yang theory.
That's a design I could live with for life as it has a great deal of meaning for me.

Out of the gloom a voice said unto me;
"Smile and be happy, things could be worse".
So I smiled and was happy
and behold;
things did get worse...

10 years from now they'll have lots of painless ways to get rid of tattoos.Krafty wrote:Anime tatts aren't the best things to get done for the reasons that everyone's outlined already- you may like it for a few years but chances are you'll want to get rid of it in 10 or so.
Maybe they'll even clone you a new arm, leg or butt.

Dalek : But you have no weapons ! No defenses ! No plan !
The Doctor : Yeah ! And doesn’t that scare you to death ?

Good point! Maybe that's why I've never found a design that I liked enough to make permanent! All of mine are either botanicals or kanji. Oh yeah, and Kokopeli!

I can already see some mistakes being made which would result in people talking out of it. ... then again, it wouldn't be much of a change in some cases

Re: The Anime Tattoo
Of course, if you add the NERV-tagline, everyone will want to read it. So the emplacement of the tattoo will be really crucial.Ms. Poe wrote:But, it's the NERV symbol,

Congrats on getting the tattoo. It's looks great.
I wonder how many people will ask what it represents.
Was it painful ?

Thanx guys ^^;! People ask all the time what it says, and I try to explain what the image represents, most always have a confused look...LOL...But I actually get a lot of anime fans noticing...They love it ^^; LOL!
Getting a tatt actually didn't hurt...It felt like you got seared on the skin by a hot pan. The pain goes away after a day though. When I got my touch-up, it didn't hurt like the first time ^^!
