One thing I love to see in tat mags is the Metallica logo big across someones back with pictures of the band; things like that never get old.
I've got one small one that i tapped into my ankle with a straight pin stuck through a pencil eraser during highschool. I used the wrong ink and it scabbed up and fell off, then i used the right ink and it scabbed up and fell off. By the fourth time I did it it was ontop of scar rissue and it stayed. I still have it and while it doesnt really resemble what i intended (a four-leafed clover) it was a big part of who i was at the time. I am glad that I didnt give myself sleeves or a big calf piece. It doesnt hurt, it didnt hurt at the time. I'll almost certainly get another one. Family crests are something that wont go out of style, I've thought about getting my mother's and father's crest on my shoulder blades or a portion of our family tree on my back.
As far as getting one in relation to a SO go with something ambiguous if you do, like a rose, or maybe a heart inside your buttcheek. One thing I don't get is people having asian caligraphy on themselves when they have no ties to asia. I just dont understand it. The only cool asian tat i've seen outside of the yakuza was on a member of Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies, it said bean curd with green beans.
