Hello. I'm bringing up an old post because it was suggested to me.
So here's the new one I started
First Time Tattoo.
Here's the post I'm responding to

Search other tat threads for good tat advice. Biohaz symbol probably wouldn't be a good idea unless it has specific meaning for you. Also, unless you are japenese or have some blood, why get it in their language? If it is something for looks then at least look up an old language and get it in that instead of getting something so cliche.
I doubt silver would look good, but just ask when you go, im sure they'd know.

Here's my response:
Zeraph, I did run a search, and they all said the same thing. 1) Get it where you can hide it, and 2) Make sure it means something.
I admit, biohazard is just a cool picture, and means nothing. So I would drop that.
I’m not Japanese, but I am a fan of Japanese culture. Also because Samurai was suggested to me, it just fits to have the Japanese Kanji. I mean… it’d look ridiculous to have “Samurai Strength” in Celtic design or something (though I
am a fan of Celtic art).
Can you recommend an old language? My heritage is ½ German, ¼ Danish, and some Scottish, Irish, and British. Latin’s a bit long, but I won’t dismiss it.
I’d still like to get a cool looking fighter/warrior/samurai strength (or maybe spirit?) tattoo. Why? Because I appreciate the old warrior ways/mentality. Not the killing spirit, but the other parts… I can’t explain it well but I “feel” this way.
Do you think because I can’t explain it, I shouldn’t get it?
I guess I’ll sit on it for a while…
Thanks!
