I've met so many people with that Radiohead tattoo is sickening. Be more creative with Radiohead tattoos please.

It's not a band tat though, so even if I stop liking Florence I wouldn't be representing her.. I get what your saying, which is a huge reason tattoos aren't for everyone. I personally wouldn't mind. The tat still tells a story about a time in your life and I'm okay growing out of it.

I could see you having a point if you got like a swastika or cross and then stopped believing, but i have no desire to get any sort of symbolism like that. I want artwork.

I'd like one, but it needs to be right and I haven't found it/spent much time trying to figure that out. Likely something related to TMR, John Cage, or my own music. Actually if I did my own music, a branding might be more appropriate. Are those hard to get legally in the states?

Lucky for you "Alaska, Arizona and California do not address the legality of scarification in the books. So, it’s neither legal nor illegal."

It's actually illegal in NJ

The hard part is finding a reliable person to do it. There is a perfect temperature (~550 F, iirc) that should be maintained during the process or else you risk ripping the skin when pulling off and causing more bubbly scars instead of something nice. Idk much about those branding pens, I'd rather just get a skin removal scarification if I were to go that route.

I have a very cool dragon one on my left pec and and a crazy one on my right upper arm. Try to imagine a tiger, eagle, butterfly three-some.

Kinda like a gryphon with butterfly wings?

Scarification is beautiful and striking, I think; that's something I'd like to find out more about, too. I'd much rather get something like that done rather than a tattoo.

I don't have any tattoos OR piercings (not even my ears), but I'd like to perhaps get a small luna moth on the underside of each of my wrists--something subtle and not terrible noticeable.

Tfw the guy living in the states for years protecting an establishment from terrorists/bad hombres doesn't know English. How ****ing infuriating. Get assimilated or get deported. It's literally that simple.

Nah, the head is a tiger baring his teeth, who has eagle wings on the top and butterfly wings underneath. 9 or 10 different colors overall. I'll snap a pic tomorrow.

Yeah, that's the reason I prefer tatts that actually tell a story or like document a life milestone instead of just what I'm interested in at the time.
