Anybody else here obsessed with the 'Miami Ink' marathon on TLC all day?

[StellaBlue]

I happened to catch it at about 10am this morning as I was getting dressed and doing laundry, and now I am not only addicted to the show, but am actually considering getting a tattoo.

Please tell me I am not alone.

[StellaBlue]

1. NO?!?!?!

[djeseru]

2. I missed the show...

...but I've been aching to get another tattoo for years now. I already have one on my right ankle...

What were you thinking of inking on yourself?

[StellaBlue]

4. no idea

back in college I thought (casually) about getting a ring of Hiroshige-style water - about dollar-sized - on my lower back. But now I would probably get a star on the back or my neck or on my elbow.

Just watching this show, though, I can totally see why people are into tattoos. Plus I like the anti-authoritarian aspect to it. And that it's a permanent statement. I have this secret desire to prevent myself ETERNALLY from working for The Man. You know? ;)

[djeseru]

5. I comprende!

I like the idea of it being a personal statement, and I admire those who have put a lot of thought into theirs. And, yeah, the anti-authoritarian aspect appeals to me in so many ways! I was raised so sheltered that I have this tendency to not work with the system now...

I never thought about the elbow - above it? or actually on it? I do remember one time seeing a gentleman who had a spiderweb around his...

7. like this

only I think I would do black and white - have you seen white tattoos? they rock

oh, yeah - not that big, either! haha

[djeseru]

8. White? Wow...

...I gotta get caught up - that sounds so cool.

That is a gorgeous star - yeah, black and white would look beautiful in that pattern!

I was thinking of updating my ankh by adding heiroglyphic text to it, with maybe a lotus. I just haven't found the right artwork yet...

3. I've been thinking of getting a new tattoo this week while on vacation

in the Keys. Been pouring over designs for the last week. I have a couple of things that I'd really like to get, but I just have to find the right art and decide where to put it!

6. I've been watching most of the day, too.

I've seen most of these, but I just like watching talented people do their thing.

If I could pick out a design, I'd get one. Really.

[djeseru]

9. Well, hey there!

I'm just out doing my drive-by thing...hope your day's been a good one!

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

10. I've had a great day, thanks!

Gym
Vegetation in front of the TV
DU
laundry

A complete day, if I say so myself.

:hi:

Edit - can't type

11. I haven't watched it

Once you get one tatt, you'll get more. It's the nature of the beast. I have a few myself and would get more if I design something else I like.

12. Ms Uly has been.

She's thinking about a tattoo now, too.

13. I've been watching it. I wonder if all artists are as good as these guys.

It does sort of make you want to get a tattoo.
