) :

Injektilo · 05-18-2005, 03:41 AM

Hahah he's gonna cry after he sees the image!

Kobayashi · 05-18-2005, 08:45 AM

ahahahhahaha

If he doesn't know...

shirbz · 05-18-2005, 09:37 AM

I lived there for a year. Vittun paskat. :|

Yes, the lion is from Finland (which I am quite attached to from my time there) and the stars are from the Southern Cross, the constellation which appears on the Australian flag (I am Australian).

Simple, but meaningful. To me anyway.

Xeal · 05-18-2005, 09:40 AM

Cool tattoo. I think im gonna get a heart with a knife trough over my heart

Alien(Hunter of a · 05-18-2005, 09:54 AM

Its "Vitun paskat.", not "Vittun paskat" ;P.
And Hell Yes, the Lion icon is cool. atleast you picked a good icon for a tattoo

shirbz · 05-18-2005, 09:57 AM

I don't think you're in the position to be correcting the spelling of people in a language foreign to them. Your English spelling is a fucking travesty. Or it would be if certain other people didn't make it look decent by comparison

Oh, I forgot, but I would like to hear about other peoples tattoos.

LAUGH IT UP MILLER, LAUGH IT UP.

I probably couldn't point out Finland on the map let alone identify it's flag.

Hamz · 05-18-2005, 10:27 AM

I want a bass cleff either on my shoulder or on my right calf

Kensomniac · 05-18-2005, 11:03 AM

Oooh, you finally got it done, nice.

Are you going to get it coloured?

I can spell correctly if i just want to, but on the particicular occasion i don't feel the need to since this isn't some official school paper or anything, but a forum in the internet.

Besides i fixed your spelling on "Vittun paskat" not cause i wanted to nitpick, but cause i want you to swear properly when you swear.

And Injektilo thats quite sad, if you can't find Finland on the map its very sad. Not to mention if you can't identify the flag either.

Injektilo · 05-18-2005, 12:09 PM

I'm aware of it's general whereabouts but why is it sad I wouldn't be able to pick it out straight away?

Static_J · 05-18-2005, 01:13 PM

Finland? Isnt that where Peter Pan is from?

No wait.. thats the Netherlands..

Come on now lets be reasonable. No one gives a damn about Finland except Finnish people.

Greyhaven · 05-18-2005, 02:52 PM

what is the deal with the saran wrap and tape

Kobayashi · 05-18-2005, 06:40 PM

If you don't give a damn, why do you have Nokia telephones then?

Oh, and seeing as how Finland has greatly influenced the world, as vikings along with norway, sweden & Denmark - perhabs you should show, at least a little, respect - eh?

Oh -

Because you need to have it on for.. errr... a week or so to preserve the color n' stuff.. I think that's why.

Don't reckon i will. Black and white suits me for now, and I've been told that colours fade a bit worse than normal ink.

The tattoo artist put it on immediately after he finished, along with some antiseptic cream, as I believe it's particularly susceptible to infection just after completion. I took it off after two hours.

@Alien(Hunter of avp2: OK, sorry.

You know, when you combine that post with his icon, it's actually really a funny scenario to imagine...

I recently drew up 2 tattoos for some friends. One is Gir from Invader Zim, and the other is a combination of the McMaster Fireball combines with a Maple Leaf via standard Rock'nRoll flames.

Me though? No fucking tattoos. I figure, girls have enough fucking reaons to be picky about me, I'm not adding "Doesn't like the design/size/color/location of my tattoo" to the list.

bansheerumpo · 05-19-2005, 02:20 AM

i like tattoos, but i'm not really sure i'd ever get one. Being an extremely persnickety artist, i'd probably be very pissed if a tattoo guy butchered my design.

I have, however, designed several tattoos for various co-workers.

if i were to get a tattoo, it would either be really simple, like a star of some sort, or an instantly recognizable image, like my avater for example...

boab · 05-19-2005, 03:07 AM

What exactly is your avatar?

zog! · 05-19-2005, 03:58 AM

it's from legend of zelda, one of the bestest games on the good old NES

boab · 05-19-2005, 04:10 AM

Oh right. I wasn't really into zelda. I played the on where you had to rescue the princess from the castle and so forth. Didn't really appeal to me though

Conner Macleod · 05-19-2005, 05:26 AM

Cool tatoo, Shirbz. When I first saw it I thought it was the Norwegian monarchy symbol, which is nearly identical.

Lets be reasonable, why be a retard that tries to look smart?
If you look no further than your own nose, shure your statement is correct, but most companies, not to mention tourists look alot more forward than their nose.
