I'm going to have this done on my left wrist in navy blue. I've always said that if I were to get something, it would have to be significant, ambiguous, and simple. Now, I just need to actually go about getting it, where to get it, and how large it should be. Any tips?

No tips mate, but congrats on finally deciding something. Why that out of interest?

I think I decided what I'll get. My dad has a wolf tattoo on his forearm and I'd like to get something similar (but obviously more detailed and slightly different and bigger.) I don't think I'd ever regret that as it'd obviously mean something to me. Seems good to me provided it looks good.

I would get it to fit squarely flat on your wrist. Don't get it too small or it will lose its coolness.

Speaking of tattoos. I've always wanted a tattoo, but have never really known what I would like... I've recently been looking into getting "LOVE" tattooed on my knuckles, kind of like this gent.

Also, I am an absolute coffee addict, and I have been looking at various coffee-based tattoos on the 'net. I was considering something on my upper right arm. I really don't know about this one, but it would be something ornate and artistic, and would probably all hedge on who does it and their style. Thoughts?

I hear that hand tattoos fade pretty quickly. So I'm not sure if you want to get that unless you are fine with constantly getting it touched up.

It takes like 30 seconds to put on though.

That's reapplied 3 + times a day so that's two minutes I don't like.

I'm the laziest on you'll ever meet in your life but don't think I can go through w/ this. Too lazy to look in a mirror when I put it on and it takes me 5 - 6 seconds.

Okay lol. Me, I just put it on like once and then if it wipes off, so be it. I don't even bother reapplying after that.

I have about 3, which I started getting back in September

The first one and I decided on it about 2 days before getting it. I just finished Breakfast of Champions by Vonnegut and thought it would be cool

the second one I got above the first and is the image from The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao which I'm getting touched up(cause I was a dumbass who scratched it too much). The only thing is I wish I got it a bit bigger.

the third one was for my love of Team Fortress 2(yeah, I'm a massive nerd haha), but I'm probably gonna get more with it, probably symbols/art of the separate classes and stuff

The last one is the drawing from my artist that I'm planning on getting as soon as I have the money on my right shoulder. I'm so excited for it!
