Here is the bone tattoo Russell Crowe had in Romper Stomper.

Better on the back of the neck than a mustache or briar pipe on your finger. THOSE SCAMPS! HOW DID THEY EVER COME UP WITH SOMETHING SO GENIUS?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdZQYplQae4

Number 26. Wow. Everything in the thread is great but that one is just superb.

I like the one that has the blue soundwaves coming out of it like its roaring. Oh and Embers, that tattoo is FANTASTIC.

Along with the sweatpants... Any time is appropriate for gym shorts or pajamas. You'd think the appropriate time for pajamas would be sleeping, or for gym shorts exercising in a gym, but you'd be wrong. Shopping, going to a restaurant, going to college, job interview, loved one's funeral... PAJAMAS AND T SHIRT TIME, BABY!

You said that a lot better than I did, Abellve. After reading around the forums it seems that a Cross tattoo doesn't really mean somebody is a Christian and in many cases might mean the opposite. Just seems to be such a classic and enduring tattoo design. I suppose I am messing up, too. It isn't like every time somebody gets a sparrow or swallow tattoo that the traveled around the world on a boat or got released from prison!

Howard Jones doesn't seem dark at all. He seems to just look like a Hispanic, skin tone wise, or a White guy with a medium tan. The colors show right through him pretty clearly. If you have that complexion I wouldn't think you'd have much to worry about.

I've seen a few of them at college and around town lately and I am wondering if the people know what message that sends? I've always associated the inverted cross with anti-Christianity, Satanism in particular. Until I had read on this message board that people will request "crosses that are facing them" I never thought of that as a reason for having an upside down cross tattoo. The only frame of reference I have for that tattoo would be somebody getting a swastika with the justification that it is for good luck and good health. Maybe they are Buddhist or something? Pretty much nobody is going to see a swastika tattoo and think "good luck charm."

Very nice to see you, Dustin. :)

I don't think I could ever get a tattoo listening to King Diamond's falsetto wailing. "It is...TIME FOR TEA!" It'd scare the hell out of me. I'd be jumping like a cat on a hot tin roof.

Oh that is spectacular. Made my morning.

Tattoo removal such as lasering and then replacing the trash tattoo with something quality would cost a lot more, right? Do It Right The First Time.

One tattoo variety that I am fond of and feel is a bit underrated are bulldogs and pit bulls. These are particularly associated with the U.S.M.C. and some parts of the Army would have bulldogs and pit bull terriers as mascots and working with them.

I have been thinking of getting a tattoo related to music. Lots of bands, punk bands in particular have logos that would suited towards a tattoo. For instance, I was thinking of doing some sort of tongue-in-cheek Rock of Ages thing with the snakes on the Crass logo. Just making it symmetrical and having much better detail on it. Or just going real basic on it, since it is such a striking design. Maybe just throwing red, white and blue in it? Another band that I thought would neat is Fear. It is sort of a messed around with Budweiser eagle with the eagle clutching the logo, two Fs touching surrounded by wreaths. It seems to me militaristic and was meant to jokingly invoke comparisons to German Eagles and the Eagle holding a Fasces symbol.

Taking on debt used to be a shameful thing. Now every local, state and federal agency is deeply indebted. Personal credit card debt and student loan debt is at 2 trillion dollars alone. I realize that is how it is the world over but debt-financed consumption in America is on a whole different level. I'm in my 20s and that means I'm seeing an awful lot of people get out of college with 5 grand owed in car payments along with 5 grand to pay off on their credit cards and tens of thousands in student loan debt. Nobody thinks it is a problem if somebody has 30 thousand dollars of debt without a job by the time they're 22. In fact, the people without the college degrees are the ones with the problem! "You don't have a degree? How do you ever expect to get a good job where you'll be spending the next 15 years making interest payments?"

You can eat or drink whatever you wish, provided that you have DIET soda. Double Bacon Cheeseburger, Diet Soda. I see this one all the time in bars. Whiskey Old Fashioned. You take a sugar cube, pour about 2 shots of whiskey and some bitters on it and top it off with soda. Then you garnish it, usually with olives, mushrooms or Brussell sprouts. Between the sugar, alcohol, carbonation and sodium the people would be better off drinking strychnine and juggling rattlesnakes. Ah, but if you have them with DIET SODA, well, that makes all the difference in the world.

Hey, I am as inexperienced as you can be to the tattoo world. I am feeling the itch to get one. I was in the military for 4 years and I am the last person in my family to get a tattoo. For crying out loud, I got beat to the punch by my mother who is a school teacher. I've been lurking at the site for about a week and like it a lot so I decided to join.

Well, the population of Earth went from about 1 billion at the turn of the 20th century to about 7 billion and counting today. It only stands to reason that there would be more tattoo artists around and people desiring tattoos. Tattooing is here to stay. It has been normalized again by the dominant cultures of the world. I don't think it is a fad even though it is going through a boom period. Video games, cell phones and internet usage were all likely once thought to be faddish too, things that would decline or go away. Nowadays it is hard to imagine day-to-day life without cell phones and the internet and video games do more business than film and most of the recording industry put together.
