While neat, this probably should've gone into AMP or Testing. Also, please dress your links.

Yes, it could go to Testing, especially since the link doesn't go to a picture.

Fixed the link. Sorry bout that. I thought off topic would be the place for it. I never look at AMP or Testing. My bad.

Personally, I don't understand the draw of tattooing. It's pretty, sure, but why mark yourself for life? And to be frank, from what I understand of job markets, a giant bit of Imperial insignia on your wrist probably won't help your employment prospects in the future.

Off to AMP

Already have another tat on my other wrist. In the cold months, I'm usually wearing a hoodie anyway, so it's easily covered. Long sleeved shirts, etc. In the summer, it would be more problematic, but could be covered by a larger style watch for the most part. I have long hair and wear dark clothes, and I'm not all that intrested in the kind of job where something like this would matter. I'm not a buisness person. Aspiring author, and will eventually in the near future be working towards a computer tech degree or computer design. Tats like this don't matter for job like that.

As far as why? I like tattoos. I want more of them. Guess you have to have the itch to want them. *shrug*

And thanks for posting it. Guess I hadn't considered some might not have myspace. >_<

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum Ghost. AMP hadn't even crossed my mind. My bad.

Well, it looks better than the simple text "Virgin 4 Life".

Of all the places where that thing could--no, should have gone, why is that on the wrist?

In some jobs this could potentially be a boon to the chances of being hired, actually. Comic stores, gaming stores, game developers, anywhere particularly 'nerdy'.

Just pray the boss isn't a Trekkie.

Over the veins/in my blood? As in my love for Star Wars and the Empire is?

It's also to balance out the fact that I have another tat on my other wrist.

Cool. It's a neat logo and it's well done. I plan on getting an inverted pentagram on the back of my hips soon.

Inverted Pentagram.... as in.... a star?

Phantasee · Post by **Phantasee** » 2008-01-25 09:14pm

Oy vey. The outlining must have hurt like a bitch there. Was the shading bad?

Yeah, one much like this:

I think the inside left forearm would be a better place...

and glowing purple ink should also be used:

I've been kind of considering getting one of those glow-in-the-dark tattoos, the ones that you can't see unless you're in blacklight.

Of course, it always ends up leading to ridiculous ideas, like war paint across the face, to frighten opponents at neon bowling and lazer tag.

One of my tattoo's reaches as far as the underside of my wrist and I still managed to get quite a good job with a political party and had good jobs in admin before that. If you're going for a joib thats in any way good you'll be wearing a long sleeved shirt and a suit jacket which will cover the tattoo from view.

Outlining didn't hurt much worse than my other wrist, aside from taking longer. But yeah, the shading was much worse. This was my first experience with the shader too. So close to the wrist bones and whatnot.

Won't deter me from getting my next tats though. ^_^
