So I'm Going To Get a Tattoo - Page 3 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Also, If I did that unicorn I would want to have some sort of cool background added to it with some color. But that is just me and I pass no judgement as long as it is not something like the guy who uses his belly button to be the monkeys *******

Wow. That's going to be something when he puts on 50 pounds.

Dom -

"If you remember me, then I don't care if everybody else forgets."

Haruki Murakami writing in Kafka on the Shore.

Or, from Franz Kafka: "Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old."

My tattoo idea (I don't currently have any tattoos so it would be my first) is to get the winning hand of my first major poker tournament win (WSOP bracelet or WPT title) tattooed on my back.

Will be more interesting, or disgusting depending on your point of view, if he loses weight. That one monkey's finger is going to be in the other monkey's butt.

I have never thought that about any tattoo ever.

Although I have been known to lie about it.

Dom, I'm not really sure how anybody here can provide any real help. There are a few million "literary quotes" to choose from.

BTW I think a picture of a tripod would be better than some quote.

"tripod" in whatever the default 2+2 font is would be good

Watercolor is really in right now. I can't come up with a good male watercolor graphic right now or I'd be on it.

The wife has her next one ready to go and it's going to be watercolor.

And in answer to your question, I have certainly seen tattoos that are cool/deep.

You didn't have to start the thread.

I just think almost all tattoos are stupid. If you're a hardass who has survived a ship being torpedoed or something you get to wear a tat.

You'll probably regret whatever you get, especially seeing as the idea is so serious to you that you have it narrowed down to millions of literary quotes, and are using internet robots to help you pick.

That's just way forced, especially for a 50-something.

Just make sure you get something that doesn't have to be explained with "Well my last gf and I decided to ...."

Honestly this thread has me so tilted I'm agreeing with Arod. I guess the Unicorn is as good a choice as any. (what MShu said) Quotes, no matter what they are just seem so front of the fridge to me.

I had already narrowed it down to 4 or 5 quotes and was asking for some input. Big whoop.

Here's a classy one from Reddit. I won't post the actual picture as the mods might not like it.

WTF was he thinking?? (NSFW)

I drop back into the lounge and the first thread is Dom wanting advice on what tattoo to get?

WTF?

Firstly, if you're having to ask advice on what tattoo to get then you don't get a tattoo. If the reason why this is a truth isn't obvious then don't get a tattoo. For Dom to be in this position ...

WTF??

You have, John! I'm going with Joyce. And then Whitman on the other arm...but that might have to wait.

And Adsman...why is it so shocking to you that I want or might a tattoo??
