Ok, im getting a tattoo soon, a tribal tat. I want it to start on my shoulder blade and finish at my elbow, but I havent found any great designs and I dont wanna get any old one. So if anyone has opinions or perhaps someones good at designs, it'd be much appreciated.
Where's Fenix when I need him?! Grrrr

Traditionally, Tribal tattoos ear mark you as a neandertal.

Someone explain this to me.
Anyway, the reason I want a tribal tattoo, is simply because they're so unspecific. I don't want to get a design that means something to me, then in 20 years means sweet f.a. I just want a good design. And chavs dont use tribal tattoos only girls, on the base of their back.
Acting like a neandertall marks you as one, not by the tattoo you have Big3

1. I think, they think it's a ganster/tribe/group thing.

2. Tramp stamps.

3. Well said.

not neccerely, i plan to get a tat on my lower back, but my tat will have personal symbolism as well, kinda like a heart with winf, unlike other girls, i want mine about medium sized, not to big, not tiny either, and for someone my age, and as a female where i live, i got what is consiter a big tatto for the area where i have one alread, it a celtic style cross, my mum drew from me folloing a book on symbolism of the celtic cross, it not a generic celtic motif either, but a patten that no longer use of circles that interlock to gether, there a pic of it somewhere up here, and it quite big for a first tattoo as well, instead of the stamp size midget tat other girls get their frist time...

so it all up to the person getting it

but please don't get something off the flash, it not one of a kind, and don't get something you will want removed later, for me i though2 very long years over what i wanted, and got something that meant something to me because once its there, it permenant, unless you wish to pay more that triple the pprice if not more to remove it

so you think a design that means f*ck all to you now will somehow be better? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard, you may as well just get "I don't want a tattoo badly enough to think of anything meaningful, so I'm just tattooing this meaningless shit on my body so I can look hardcore. FUCK YEAH BITCHES!!"

Jacobs rules to tatoo's.

1) never get anything out of the book
2) no generic teenage tatoos e.g flames, fairys, dragons, stars, skulls, hearts and anymore of that bollocks.
3) design it yourself or have it designed for you.
4) try and steer clear of tribal and celtic tatoo's unless they're absolutely fantastic.
5)make it meaningfull to you.
6) think about it for a couple of months to make absolutely sure you like your idea.
7) bare in mind the colour will fade and the damn thing is permanent.

mind you as much as i want a tatoo, my long list of rules are holding me back...but atleast im not plastered in ****ty tatoos...
