I'm somewhat obsessed with the idea of getting a Mad Max-style tattoo across my face, though. The one good thing I could see about a thermonuclear war is that I would be able to do all of these bizarre things that have occurred to me over the years and be the height of fashion in the post-apocalyptic society that would stir from the rubble.

Never regretted it. Never. Not even when my mom found out. (I got it when I was 18) But then again, I did have the design pinned up over my bed for nearly a year before I finally got it inked, because I knew too many people who got "flaming skulls puking snakes" type tattoos and completely regretted it.
I used to have a nose-ring, but the hole closed over while I was in jail. (They made me take it out so it wouldn't get ripped out in a catfight.) I'm kinda grossed out by piercings, so I never got any more.

As for me, I've had both nostrils pierced. It's left these strange lumps of flesh inside so I'm not having them done again. And I always had bogeys getting stuck in the metal. I was going through a bit of a crusty phase at the time, I'm afraid.

I'm thinking of finally getting one. how much do they generally run, and did you find you had to get touchups done on yours? the aftercare seems pretty simple but I'm such a klutz y'know.

My opinion on tattoos is not important. I just want to record my deep, everlasting gratitude that "Suck or Rock?" was never picked up as an alternative to "Classic or Dud?"
― Aimless, Sunday, 8 June 2014 17:43 (nine years ago) link
it reminds me too much of what Rock 100 WDIZ used to do on weeknights in the 90s - play a new tune during a segment called "Does It Rock or Does It Suck" and have the listeners vote, after which it either got added to the rotation or dropped (a load of BS, cuz 'sucks' got added anyway)

This is my tattoo. I got it about 8 years ago. Cost about $150 (plus a 20% tip). Mostly happy with it although one of the lines on the lower blade is a little shaky. I thought about going back and getting it touched up, but moved out of town soon thereafter. The lines have only started getting a little fuzzy recently. The Slayer design has an lot more line work, so would probably take longer/cost more.

$180+ p/hr for a really respected tattoo artist ime. how many hours it will take depends on the size/detail/color/how fast your artist works (my first big one took about 9 hours and had a lot of detail; my second one was slightly bigger but less detail and took about 15 hours)
i have four (3 big ones, one small one) now and getting a fifth next week. this is what has worked for me, after trying a couple different things from different artists:- keep the covering on for a few hours afterwards. - remove then CAREFULLY rinse with lukewarm water and a little UNSCENTED anti-bac soap- let it dry out overnight- following morning, rinse and lightly wash with the lukewarm water and anti bac soap and apply a v v v thin layer of aquaphor, same again that night; repeat for 2 more days- keep up the cleaning routine for a total of 7 days, but replace aquaphor with a small amount of lubriderm moisturizer- keep moisturizing twice daily till fully healed- DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT pick at it, not even if it looks like that little bit of skin is ready to peel off. IT'S NOT READY and you will put a hole in your tattoo.
don't use neosporin or anything like that, unless it actually gets infected. just keep it clean and dry. don't wear any tight clothing over it while it's healing and don't bandage it. don't swim, don't soak it in water (eg baths), keep it out of the sun completely.
― just1n3, Tuesday, 10 June 2014 20:17 (nine years ago) link
welp I did it. altho I opted for a diff design (the regular Slayer logo w/ pentagram in color on my right shoulder). It cost about #350 but the dude did a great job - saw a few others on the net that others have done and his was better.
bandaged atm, will start the cleanin process once I remove it.

my left arm at this point is a de-facto whole sleeve in progress. I have an idea that's cute whereas the rest of the arm is more wicked-lookin' and I'm not sure whether to just have a part that's more cute than wicked or find another spot for the cute thing
