ahhhhhhh jst got a tattoo, its an iron cross, ave a look

it's my first 1 and it hurt like a biatch

has any 1 else got some tattoo's to show


p.s. it looks a bit lop sided atm, coz my arm is baddly swelled up ( it bled alot too )

I never have been into tattoo's that much.

That rocks. I have two tattoos, and im not even 18 yet
I have a tribal cross on my left forearm, and a Heartagram tattoo on my stomach (Like Bam Margeras)

nice tattoo's, am not into tribal myself, i like more of a old retro and chinese stuff e.g. "god of fire - and water " ( my nxt tattoo gonna cover my whole right arm, be blended into the iron cross )

btw i've been 18 for years..... ( im a small guy tho, u can tell abit in the pic)

Mine has been an ongoing process for about a year now. The center of my arm contains kind of a tribal design with a face shadowed inside of it. Around that is several things blending into it, varying from a grim reaper, to a graveyard with a swirling sky, demons, trapped souls, skeletons, etc. It to me represents a life after death, although not a pleasant one. All my work has been hand needled, and doesn't use the trashy common ink you see in most places. Right now its a 1/2 sleeve, and i'll be beginning on the lower arm in the coming weeks, starting with most of the outlines. I'm the kind of person that likes to let the artist work, seeing where his imagination will take him, rather than choosing the typical out of the "Big Book Of Tattoos" that everyone gets these days (ie butterflies on the neck, tribal on the lower back, and other crap) Someday I hope to have both arms covered, perhaps my back too.

A sleeve, id love a sleeve Like Ville Valo from HIM, but i dont want to copy everyone of his tattoos, although i will probably end up doing lol

when i was getting my tattoo done, to my horror like 50 scallies walked in, u could tell there were all gonna get butterflys and all that common **** from ""Big Book Of Tattoos" ( although some good idears can come out of there )

i felt like slappin them in the face, and sending them all back to JJB's for some new Tracksuit bottoms

Lol! I know the guy that did my tattoos and he was telling me his "rules". If its a football badge or something "****", then he charges them like £10 more. If he likes the design, then he does it quite cheap. I had money knocked off because he knows me anyway, but he knocked an extra £5 off because he loved the design.

yeah i'll get mine cheaper from now on, coz my m8 got over £500 tattoo on the same day i got mine ( although his will take another month 2 finish )

it helps to be chums with the tattooist, soo they dont over charge u

not that into tattoos but if i were to get one i would get a tribal thier the best

an iron cross? damm, thats a lame tattoo imo.

Bah. Ya gotta buy me a pint before I go showing you my tattoos.

Here's mine!

Somehow I associate an iron cross with germany and war O_o but i'm probably totally wrong about that. Anyways, I'd never get a tatoo, but imo everyone should do what they like the best, so.. have fun with your new tat ^_^

Yeah... it used to be a symbol that some groups used. Now it's commonly associated with clothing brands, and other such related things.

Thanks for telling me ^_^

these are from glasgow & leipzig

I dont know why you would want a cross like that, if you know the history of who it has been identified with, I know its used on clothes and stuff, but I dont really see why it has been.

Any of you be darying enough to get this done?

read that and see what you got tattooed: http://www.free-definition.com/Iron-Cross.html

Hitler lol.

you didnt know that? the iron cross was a high ranked symbol during the naziregime, just like the swastika.

swastika

why would you want that as a tattoo?

A. hes an ass

B. he thought he would be "cool"

C. or hes tht stupid and didnt know what it was

@ wing. nice reply.

Whoops - I think it looks cool, but lol - now every black person he meets will spit on him in the street - its just as well he's welsh - not many black people there!

My mate has the Grim Reaper tattooed on the back of his right leg - it looks mighty, but I'd never consider getting one myself... way too permanent for a person like me who changes their mind way too often.

Pffffffffft wimp,I have one on the top of my arm and it never hurt a bit

i have to 2 tattoos.
nothing with nazi crosses or something






i'm 21 now and i think some tattoos will follow

A. Nope

B. well yeah, if i didn't i would never of got it

C. i know exactly wot it is, pffff, its jst small mined ppl like u think the worst, get ur facts right.

D. i have a number of black friends btw, "john" came with me when i had it done

Take no notice [fOoL]

you've gotta be a tool to knowingly get a Nazi symbol tattoed on yourself.

There is mine

we do realize that you don't see it as a nazi thing and that you may have friends who don't mind. But let me tell you how i feel about it. I don't know you, heck, im sure you're a nice guy. But if i cross you in the street or meet you at some point and i see that on your arm, im more than probably going to either not talk to you or get relatively angry. This coming from a non religious or practicing jew.

you tool

As for getting a swastika tattoo.. I would if i was aryan...but i'm not.


My tatt... an excellent 3rd grader impression.

probably it hasn't anything to do with nazi/swastika...
it's the symbol for the german military too:

American Firemen use it too.

Just like the Nazi's didnt come up with anything original, they stole it from somewhere else. It has nothing to do with them.

So what if [fool] got one.. it's his choice, not any of yours. He could get the towers burning on his back if he so pleased.

lol.. nice

Good post

...hands over a pint...

well i hope u know tht the ppl that dont know u will think ur an ass tbh

here we go

well said...a tattoo is a personal preference, doesn't matter a jot what others think, be happy and enjoy it.

i had mine done a few months back..and it did hurt like a bitch!

Power To The People!

Damn, you're right...not trying to sound rude or anything but from the first pic I'd guess you're about 15 or so. Heh.

i don't think i could ever get a tattoo. sounds like it'd hurt to bad.

Only the outline hurts the most.. the rest is bearable

neck and innerelbow and behind the kneecap hurt the most. the wrist isnt very fun either.

Tatoo pain is different for everyone. I've seen girls screaming while getting done, and grown men crying in pain. I had my very first done with the typical needle gun, and its nothing compared to having it done by hand. Even then it doesn't bother me much. I just quit having it done with the powered needle because the quality is poor by comparison.

yeah... in my experience the outline hurt alot, but the filling in, is easy

Yeh the outline does hurt more, but after a while you get used to it.
It all depends on your pain threshold, the pain doesnt bother me.
