as in Only the Strong Survive (yeah AI and t.chandler have it on their arms in diff font and with a cross or something)

I'm not a fan of generic tattoos like those, you should get something that really appeals to you and something that would be less generic than those ones. It's kinda hard to come up with something that's completely original these days, so try and get something that not every other person has on them. You should also get something that's personal to you, something that you won't get tired or bored of, something that you'll never lose interest in.

my theory on tattoos has always been this: if you can't really figure out exactly what you want to get and why you want to get it then you probably shouldn't be getting one at all.

This also. You should be completely sold on what you want to get before you get it. Don't ask other people for tattoo ideas, this is your tattoo.

a lot of people without tatts use that as a reasoning... though u may think that, id say the majority of tatts do not have th deepest of all meanings

Fair enough. Also, don't let others put you off a certain style, because they don't like it.

If you want ideas, we're going to need to know a bit more about you. What you like, you're hobbies, interests, that kind of thing, because you could get some really good tattoo ideas from your personal interests.

The tattoo that i was leaning towards is actually the tatt of playing cards, which i don't have pictured. Was thinking of an Ace and King spread a little like you would if you were holding a hand of cards, king over (and sliding to the right of the ace) . I used to play a lot of cards, though not much lately, i do a lot of gambling, and these are generally the 2 strongest cards (big slick). Main reason however being that my initials are AK

i would have it done to look like it does on the cards and not cartoony... (btw the clothes on the kings have pretty detailed designs, so i think that would work for the tatt). ive been having second thoughts about this idea though as it may look/seem kind of kiddie... im definitely not looking for something that is gonna look like a joke or childish

I like the idea, but the detail that would have to be put in for the King's clothes, may become blurred over time, because there's so much detail in such a small area. Maybe if you got a banner waving across the cards with some text in it, possibly 'Only the Strong', then that would hide some of the detail (obviously not all of it), cutting down on blurriness when the tatto does start to fade.

If this will be your first tat, I strongly suggest getting it on a "meaty" part of the body such as your bicep of calf. The bonier the canvas area, the more pain and difficulty you will endure. Also, get it done by someone who does it for a living. Like anything else, when it comes to tats, you get what you pay for. Out of house ink scratchers will leave you with a crappy tattoo and most likely don't follow proper sterilizing techniques.

I knoww its kind of unoriginal or cliche but I've got to have like a butterfly or heart on my lower back. It just looks soo sexy and I think it would really help me out as an aspiring singer to create a really cool, charismatic image.

One of my heroes, Kat Von Dee from "Miami Ink", can pull off anything and everything :) . To be real, there's nothing like seeing a tough, muscular, hot bad boy with a memento to his mother. That makes me smileee. And produce less bile. :p

[lefthook00]

You should get a F.A.M.E.(f*ck all my enemies) tattoo, I think A.I. has one.

["Jesus"]

Just get a barbwire tattoo. Everyone has one.

These say it perfectly, you should get something that has meaning to you, so you don't regret it. I love it when I ask someone why they got a certain tattoo and they say "Well...uhhh...it looks kinda cool, doesn't it?"

But if you want something that looks cool without meaning...get this:

lower back tattoos are very played out.. like tribals.. besides being known as a tramp stamp. its your body and your choice, but i just hope youre aware.

I will be getting one on my forearm very shortly, and getting one for my girlfriend also.

[bk33]

As other posters have pointed out, I think it's a bad idea to get a tattoo for the sake of it. It should be something that inspires you so much that you want it to be tattooed, as oppose to "hmm i want a tattoo, let's see what inspires me" I always shake my head when I see people picking out tattoo designs on the spot. For me I got a symbol with multiple meanings to me and is also something that serves as a reminder, a rule that i'll abide for the rest of my life.

I will be getting one on my forearm very shortly, and getting one for my girlfriend also.
rarely do i tell people not to do certain things, but getting one for your girlfriend should be a big no-no, I believe that's the TOP reason of all the tattoo regrets.

It's your tattoo that's gonna be on your body for the rest of your life, don't let someone else tell "you" what to get on "your" body.

[DirtBag]

I just got to see my sketch that my tattooist drew up, it looks really good. and as far as getting one for my GF, she picked it out I am just paying for it. She really wanted a second one, and since she has been so good to me, I am buying one for her. I do understand your concern though.

[emsteez forreal]

my friend is only 18 and a little less than a month and already has 4 tattoos . i designed a cross for him (i can draw), told him to pick it up one day and because he didn't wanna pick up the drawing from my house he got the most uneve, faded cross ever . he can't wait at all for his tats . anyway, back on topic .. i know what i wanna get is the bulls logo on my right arm with windy city in cursive underneath ..

[emsteez forreal]

but dude are you from brooklyn? i would have so many ideas i wouldn't know what to get if i was from BK . i would get brooklyn on my shoulder arching like on mars' hat, like this ..
