Ink is right up there with Harleys as the new fashion accessory..... :nono:

Unless it's something that has deep meaning to the individual it's kind of lame.
(I have 3 tattooists in the family so have a different perspective than most)

My grandfather had the same thing tattooed on his right side of the ribcage, on the outside(facing arm)

It means something to me. He would never let me see his tattoos untill one day when I was 9 or 10 or so, and I drew all of them I could. He wouldn't let me know what any of them ment to him. But this one is a reminder, and a good luck symbol.

Okay, so as much as there's some truth in me my hating mine, I'm just joking. So why that one?

Edit: You already answered my question

Damn. it hurts. bad. I'm gonna wrap it up tonight


LOL, thats hardcore pussy style, i think getting tat feels good, Wrist was a Little bit Irritating but i wouldnt say it hurt.

:aigo:

also, never put to much Healing lotion on, if you put so much theyres a shine, then thats to much, or it'll bleed out and fuck ur tattoo up, put it on 3-5 times a day

If I had to guess I'd say it has to do with the military (Army?) when units wore card faces on their helmets to identify themselves (maybe not 100% correct, but something along those lines).

Kyle: That's exactly the sort of thing I was talking about it means something to YOU and is a good reason unlike 99% of Tatts done these days..:nono:

Yeah, Thats what I was told, and assumed what it would represent in me, But I suck at cards.

I can lose at solitare :rofl:

My grandfather was a seabee in WWII, he built the runway on Tinian that the Enola Gay took off from, and also got to shoot the shit with Pual Tibbets before the flight.

My mom and some friends have asked me, why is it upside down. I keep telling them that they are rightside up to me, and thats who I got the tattoo for, not you, me.
