well im sure a few of us have a tattoo or 5

post up your tattoo

what it means. the story behind it

where you got it done

and the price

and some regret stories...!!

heres mine

it says well in the simplest form it says "Impulsive" in sinhalese (sri lankan)

although us lankans arnt good at sports, dont really have any cool traditional style

have the worst accents, i reckon the writing is awesome lol

anyways

it says impulsive, because well thats me down to a T

how i went about getting it

after watching 2 whole seasons in a row of "miami ink" i thought about getting one

the next day, i wasked my old lady to write out impulsive...

saturday the 16th of feb.. at 3 pm i had to drop of a friend in melton... to some karate thing, right next door was a tattoo shop.. walked in there... told the guy what it was all about... there was a girl who had a booking at 3 to get a tattoo completed... she over heard the story they both decided to go with the theme of things i should get it right then and there.. the chick said she didnt mind waiting

so 20 mins and 35 dollars later... here i am

with my new INK! which i cannot stop looking at

sorry to hijack your post but i have a question. i want to get a tattoo that says "impavido" which means fearless in italian. i want to get it down the left side of my ribs. the problem is on the left side if the tattoo run from top to bottom the letters face in what i think is the wrong way. (the dots on the i's face my back rather than my stomach), does any one have an opinion or suggetsion on this. all i have come up with so far is to use a mirror effect but this makes it harder to read, also adds a bit of flare and originality i think

I have to agree that the Sinhalese looks good. I have a Lankan girlfriend and the writing that ive seen on different things she has looks very cool. Nice change from the "standard" japanese or chinese characters people get for tatoos. Nothing against the jap or chinese characters, but its a nice change.

a mate of mine got a tatoo up his forearm

its pretty big and long

it says davison in some cryptic text - only the tatooist did one of the letters upside down

so it reads danison

the v came out upside down

here is a pic of mine. was as impulsive, took 5hrs and 2 sessions. $280. woody at planet ink in epping did it for me.

reason: being italian and religious, i thought that something like this i wouldnt regret.

btw, 2nd tat on the way. once its done ill post

(Its on my right shoulder too.)

Nice..looks like some neat work.

Be careful that could grow into full sleeves before you know it :ermm: ....they can be addictive,

I have a griffin as a sleeve (shoulder to elbow), his wings go up over my shoulder...thats for my Welsh heritage(also a cover up of an earlier effort).

The other side I have a phoenix, it was done for my rebirth (symbolic) after some tragic events.

All up around 1k's worth and about 14hrs in the chair.

I'll get some pics tomorrow if I cbf.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
