I would like an angel/fairy as well as my butterfly and his name n DOB in there sumwhere so any ideas/drawings welcome
thanks guys x

Answer
hmm..i have a butterfly with hearts coming from it with my daughter's name...incorporating a boy's name into angels and fairies is kinda hard..if i had a son and liked angels and fairies and stuff..i would somehow get a baby boy playing with the angels, or fairies..then put his name and D.O.B in a banner but check out BME they have all kinds of tattoos..maybe you could get an idea from there..hope this helps ;)

Tattoo symbolizing my son?

Q. I have wanted to get a tattoo with my son's name somehow fitted in. Does anyone have any ideas besides using his hand or foot? He is 14 months old and at this point his foot and hand are too big to use..I want something small and dainty.
Also, his initials ar C.J. which I also wanted to incorporate somehow.
His b-day is March, and umm...any ideas or drawings would be great!
You can also IM me with any pictures.
Thanks!
I don't know what some of the comments on here are about...(saying that only sluts and bikers have tattoo's)
I have 1 tattoo already and I'm neither(not that that matters)...the point is that if your going to answer a question just to get 2 lousy pints then don't waste your time on one of mine,cause I won't put up with it!!!

Answer
I have 2 kids and am getting a butterfly with their names as the edges of the wings. It's kind of hard to imagine but the letters of the name will be going down the side of the wing in some kind of script font. You might could do the same thing with his name as the body of the butterfly. Are you done having kids? If not you know you'll have to get a new tattoo with each new child...

are butterfly tattoos unoriginal and boring?

Q. I've always loved butterflies, since they are so beautiful and symbolize changing for the better. I'm going to get 3-4 very tiny butterflies flying upwards on the side of my lower back (not on the 'tramp stamp' location) but my friends say it's very cliche to have a butterfly lower back tat and it's unoriginal and boring. But I can't think of anything I want more. Is it really such a common and boring idea ? And if it is, what is something small, girly and original that I can get instead ? Thanks in advance :)

Answer
In my view, all tattoos are bad, but butterfly tattoos are preferable to other kinds, like skulls or snakes. Its sort of like, better to have your little finger chopped off than your whole hand, you know? Tattoo predators don't like butterflies since they are pretty--they prefer to inflict snakes, skulls, dragons or satanic signs on their victims. But really, no tattoos are good. A tattoo is a tattoo, and the true cost of a tattoo is a lifetime of regret. There is an 80% chance you will regret it in your lifetime. Many people will look at you with disgust, for tattoos are offensive to many, many people. Your chances of getting a good job will be greatly diminishedâmost companies will not hire you since your tattoo will be seen as offensive to other workers. There is nothing good about a tattoo. A tattoo is little better than a cartoonâyou canât get a good quality drawing on the human skin. Tattoos are an urban blight. They are ugly, like graffiti. Like graffiti, they lower the quality of the environment. Tattoos lower the quality of life, for everyone who has to see their ugliness. The whole concept of tattooing is wrong, the way these hideous cartoons are inked into the flesh of people through bloodletting and pain; if they are âartâ as claimed, they are surely a dark and evil art. Tattoos are closely linked to other forms of self harm, like cutting, piercing, drug use, etc.; they are hand-in-glove with these destructive behaviors. . Young people are fooled into wanting tattoos by degenerate Hollywood and the media. Kids think tattoos are cool and cutting edge, but over time, they wind up hating their tattoos. Far worse, they wind up hating themselves. Parents and older people are so afraid of being disliked that they say nothing against tattoos, even though they know better. Worse, some completely abandon their responsibility to provide sound guidance and even encourage the young ones to get tattooed. As far as tattoos being âartâ, that is foolish garbage. A tattoo is NOT "a work of art". The human body is not a canvas and the abusers and mutilators who desecrate it are not artists. Most of their so called "art" is little better than comic book drawings. More and more young people are buying into this Hollywood lie that tattoos are a cutting edge way to âexpressâ yourself. But that is so not true. You should express yourself with your words and actions, not by inking graffiti onto your living flesh. Do not listen to the many predators and enablers here, who encourage young people to abandon decency and live self indulgent and destructive lives. Young peopleâdo not get tattooed. Stay in school, do your best there, avoid drinking, drugs, tattoos and piercings, and avoid those who have them. Go to college, study science, mathematics, or business, and avoid liberal arts (unless you are wealthy and donât need to make a living). God bless you in your life. But if you simply have to have a tattoo, a butterfly is far preferable to a skull, for sure.

People that have butterfly tattoos?

Kal Kal

For you what does your butterfly tattoo mean?

For me when I get mine, which won't be soon, it will be because of the butterfly project for cutting. So it would be good to have a permanent butterfly.
some people that I know have cut, really bad. and I have to but that's pretty much why I want the butterfly, I'm glad you guys like my idea, I've told some people about it and they just said yeah sure do whatever you want.
Oh and, I'm 15 could I get one now, or for my 16th birthday, with my parents consent?

Answer
it depends on you state's law on weather you can get a tattoo at 16. you cannot get a tattoo at 15 no matter what. i have a butterfly and the quote "alis volat propriis" its latin for she flies with her own wings. its for my best friend and her two little sisters that died in a house fire when we were in middle school. they now fly with the angles so the quote "she flies with her own wings" fits perfect and i loved how it sounded in latin. i had my best friend (who was like a sister to my friend who passed) draw some butterflies for me and the artist who did my tattoo combined the three drawings into one so it was a unique butterfly not one out of the book.

I´m thinking of getting a small tattoo?

Cosmetolog

This is my first tattoo. I wanted something like a small butterfly on my lower belly. Now does this area hurt a lot? How do you care for the tattoo afterwards and how long until it is "presentable"? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Answer
I think you should NOT get a butterfly tattoo, since it will result in you having some ugly cartoon inked PERMANENTLY into your body for the REST OF YOUR LIFE. It will never be "presentable"--people will ALWAYS look at you with loathing if you have a tattoo. I strongly urge you to reconsider getting tattooed. Your body is clean now, and not profaned by any graffiti, but that will change forever if you pay some tattoo predator to forever ruin your body with a tattoo. You have lasted this long without tattoo, do not cave to the pressure from lesser people or a sick society and take that fatal step. Everything will change for you, for the worse, after you get that first tattoo. The true cost of a tattoo is a lifetime of regret. There is an 80% chance you will regret it in your lifetime.

how much would a full back tattoo of butterflies and flowers cost?

Darrin

Answer
haha~ I love the price quotes above!
I'm thinking $9,857 at least, for a quality job.

Really, there is no way on earth that any of us can answer this question.
You need to find references (pictures, photos, drawings, paintings etc. ) and take them to your tattoo artist of choice, and they will tell you a quote that will actually have bearing on the tattoo you may be getting.

luck~

Answer
You seem to have more potential in you. You have to remember that what you do is permanent. It will be on people forever. There is no room for mistakes at all.

Think about what kind of tattoos people would want. Tribal, Flowers, butterflies, etc. Practice the styles. Keep in mind, tattooing someone is so much different than drawing or painting.

Good luck.

Here is my poem about you getting a tattoo. I hope you will think about it.

What Have You Done?

The predator waits with his needle.
When you go to him,
He stabs you again and again and
The blood flows.
Why do you let him?

Pain from a hundred piercings.
No matter how many you endure,
Your precious blood will never
quench your vanity.

Look!
Thereâs a blot,
a blight
on your skin, once so clean.
What have you done?

The angels cry,
and demons laugh in delight.
You're lost, child.
You're marked.
Youâve lost your way.

Do you think this tattoo sounds repulsive?

kayla_neop

I was thinking of a butterfly tattoo with it's wings behind it, you know like it's flying? Nothing too flashy. I was thinking of getting that right underneath my collar bone like following it up. It would be relatively small. I though it'd be kinda sexy. Btw I already have a tattoo on my deltoid (right one).

Answer
No matter how "pretty" the design, and your design sounds fine, it will be repulsive if it is tattooed into the living flesh of your body. All tattoos become ugly and repulsive if they are desecrating the living bodies of human beings. Your body is not a canvas for so-called art--it is the living shell that your spirit resides in. It is to be protected and cared for, not abused. Here is why I hate tattoos:
1)Tattoos are an urban blight. They are ugly, like graffiti. Like graffiti, they lower the quality of the environment. Tattoos lower the quality of life, for everyone who has to see their ugliness.
2)I donât like the whole concept of tattooing, the way these hideous cartoons are inked into the flesh of people through bloodletting and pain; to me they are a dark and evil art.
3)I donât like how tattoos are so closely linked to other forms of self harm, like cutting, piercing, drug use, etc.; they are hand-in-glove with these destructive behaviors.
4)I donât like the way evil people encourage our vulnerable children to get tattooed, so they can make money off of them. They do not care that they are causing harm. And yet, these evil ones, these tattoo predators, are even admired by their deceived victims.
5)I donât like the way that young people are fooled into wanting tattoos by degenerate Hollywood and the media. Kids think tattoos are cool and cutting edge, but over time, they wind up hating their tattoos. Far worse, they wind up hating themselves.
6)I donât like that parents and older people are so afraid of being disliked that they say nothing against tattoos, even though they know better. Worse, some completely abandon their responsibility to provide sound guidance and even encourage the young ones to get tattooed.
7)I donât like how young people are so angrily defensive about their right to get tattooed and ruin their lives.
8)I donât like tattoos because the Lord clearly commands against them. "Do not cut your bodies⦠or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORDâ Leviticus 19:28
9)As far as tattoos being âartâ, that is garbage. A tattoo is NOT "a work of art". The human body is not a canvas and the abusers and mutilators who desecrate it are not artists. Most of their so called "art" is little better than comic book drawings.
