Idk how true that is but still :clap:

Nicest thing any e-person has ever said to me. Im blushing. Or my face is red cause its hot as **** and im cooking chicken at 400f in the oven right next to me. Actually my computer is probably not safe right here. On that note cya.

It's better than having "Happy Birthday William" engraved on your iPod. It was my ex that got it done by the way not me, that would be even sadder.

You mean that laser engraving **** right? Because Im only familiar with the cheap way that involves a knife or sharp object.

Yeah laser engraving, you can get it done when you order one from Apple.

The cheap way would be more fun though.

If fun is looking like a 5 year old with an ipod.

Fun ends though when mum pulls the iPod out of the toilet.

Mine got stuck in a Lazy boiiiii chair. The chair didnt work for 6 months and I thought it was just old. When I moved out I took the chair upside down and out fell my lost ipod. The thing was never to work again.

I think I was in Jamaica during that time. I'll have to give it a read. :)

wow this is really bad

This thread made me giggle in a stupid, girlish way.

I read that as "This thread made me giggle in a stupid, irish way.", and was momentarily bamboozled.

Blasphemy. Irish giggling is never stupid.

I can throw in my opinion here as well. As GB and others have adviced you, getting a tattoo of Kurt's face on your body is a terrible, terrible idea. Getting faces right is hard enough. Getting them to look right on skin which sorta moves around is even harder. Plus, you're not gonna love it a few years down the line. Those of us well past our teens know that. I used to listen to punk and skate a lot in my teens. If I'd ever gotten a Johnny Rotten tattoo then, I so would have regretted it today.

edit :

By the way, I do know people (notice how that's plural) with tattoos they regret ever getting so it does happen ;)

edit again :

Tattoos have had their renaissance with Miami Ink and all that shit. They've been cool for years now. Isn't it about time they became uncool again?

Actually yeah, that is a point. It takes much, much better than your average tattoo artist to get a face right. With designs and patterns its a far easier thing to fumble through without getting it perfect, because the dimensions don't need to be exact. With a face, if its drawn even slightly wrong it will look nothing like the thing it is supposed to because theres a very, very clear model people can compare to.

Also, tattoos with a lot of details (like, say, a photo-realistic portrait) fade and blur badly over time. In twenty years, even a perfect tattoo of Kurt Cobain is going to look like a blob of ink in the shape of some unknown person.

What planet are you from?

Alright I can't help dogpiling on this trainwreck of a thread.

@the OP - People are calling you out on an obvious adolescent stunt because it's an obvious adolescent stunt. Also the fact that you called yourself MallyCobain which coupled with your use of -y'all- makes it impossible to not associate a certain Miley C. angle to your whole situation.

Also to reiterate what Urban mentioned that seemed to get glossed over. Portrait tattoos are damn near IMPOSSIBLE to do properly. Unless you're willing to spend a significant amount of money it's going to look like crap a whole hell of a lot sooner than later. Another thing, like Janszoon's example above, detailed tattoos require re-working/re-colouring every couple of years if you want them to retain any definition.

In short, yes it's possible to get a decent portrait tattoo. The fact that you'd turn to random people on the internet to help finalize your decision and reacted as flippantly and defensively as you did though, makes it quite apparent that the only thing you'll be tattooing onto your body is a mistake.

My friend showed me her new tattoo of something from a videogame yesterday, and the dimensions and lines were just not quite right. And this was a very simple image.

Unless you're paying a reputable artist thousands of dollars for this tattoo, I really don't think you should go through with it--ESPECIALLY with a portrait, which can so, so easily come out devastatingly wrong.

Come to think of it, I don't personally know anyone with a good tattoo. Everyone I can think of who has one has an atrocious piece on them clearly done by a total amateur. It's a lot easier to get screwed than you may expect.

I'm saying this regardless of what you get tattooed, and whether or not you'll hate it in five years.

EDIT: And now that I've reviewed the thread, I see I'm just repeating every post on this page. But that's because they're such important points.

Yeah, **** a Kurt Cobain tattoo. Get this instead.

Do you want to come to the Pearl Jam gig in Manchester with me?

you guys..IM TWENTY ONE!! you're talking like I'm fourteen!!

You're posting like you're fourteen.

Is it really that hard for you to grasp that fact that you type and construct sentences like a fourteen year old girl? Your decision making is that of a younger blind child.

It's okay. I understand.

For portraits, get them on your arm. It's the best place for them as the flesh is looser compared to say, your chest for example. Also, the more detail you want in your design, the better. Make sure you commission an artist to draw you a very detailed portrait of Kurt Cobain, or you could just give a photograph to the tattooist. Either works. Now, don't bother with the expensive parlors as I've found that the quality is just as good, if not better, at cheap places.

Good luck with your new tattoo!

The other people have phrased this as a sort of joke, but I'm actually being serious. I thought you were in your early teens. Everything you have said throughout this whole thread has screamed "14 year old" to me. 15 at a push.

Seriously. It might be a good move to work on your ability to communicate in text. You really, really don't sound as old, or indeed as mature as you would like to.

This one would be cool.

That seems legit.

I was talking like you were twenty-one.

<3 trolls.

Actually 100% not a troll, unless they're going to SOME lengths. She posted a youtube video of herself, from an account with other videos, which has been registered with youtube since 2009.

I very much doubt this is a troll with a 3 year plan.

I don't think that's who she was referring to.

Mr. Dave isn't a troll...

:confused:

Well he's not...

I trolled hard this thread. Jans and a few others participated as well.

When your taste changes, you'll look at that tattoo and think, "I regret it."

I regret getting a f*cking tribal down my arm. If I could go back 6 years and tell myself that having a non-meaning tattoo is just as retarded as having a meaningful tattoo down the length of your arm, I would.

I did, however, learn very recently (like today) that tattoo removal has stepped its game up, needing far less time for the removal. I guarantee you all that I will utilize this new technology within the next few years.

You got something like this?
