Tattoo Help

The thread about tattoos in the DBZ section got me thinking again about the first tattoo that I plan on getting soon. It will be very simple and small, but I'm still worried that it may seem a little silly to people. I think it's cute, and it has a big meaning to me, but I guess I'm still afraid of other people seeing it or of not liking it later on. Here's a picture of it:

It will be just the simple turtle design. It means a lot to me because my best friend (and first love) was obsessed with turtles and had pet turtles, and I've always liked turtles as well. It would remind me of her and the times when I was younger. Is this a silly reason to get this tattoo? I don't think it is, but I guess I'm always scared of what people will think, especially my family who is against tattoos to begin with.

Yeah buddy, seems like a good idea, as long as the tattoo's got a special meaning behind it for you, then its all good. No point in marking your body, if there's no meaning behind it. Then again, bro, you might think its cool now but probably will regret it when you're in your 50s.

When I got my first DBZ tattoo I was really hesitant to show people because I feared that people would think I was weird. Then I realized that I shouldn't care what other people think about my tattoos because I am getting them for me, not for them. Now I show everyone my DBZ tattoos without any hesitation.

So if you want the tattoo, get it. Don't worry about what other people think.

Thanks ^_^ I know I shouldn't worry. I guess I'm just scared that my reasoning isn't good enough or something.

Ever thought about getting a tribal tattoo done? They're pretty sick in my opinion.

Yeah, but I'm trying to stay away from really popular things. I used to want to get a tattoo of a bird, but then those became THE tattoo to get.

No prob OFG. All the tattoos I am going to get are far from mainstream so I don't have to worry about that haha :P

I think the turtle would make a great tattoo but have you considered expressing your appreciation of your friend through a turtle necklace, or perhaps a pet turtle or even volunteering/donating to turtle conservation?

They're all meaningful expressions.

Ultimately it's your physical body and you will be the one who lives with the rewards and/or consequences.

I love art, and I've always wanted tattoos. I can't see myself expressing it in any other way, really.

That turtle design is really nice =) - not too much, but gets the point across. And if the tattoo has a deep meaning for you, then I say go for it! Especially if that's the medium you want to express it in. You don't need to justify it for anyone else - only yourself. =)

I know what you mean, though. I want to get the Saiyan crest tattooed on me (it has special meaning for me in regards to my dad), and have been thinking it over - but it may well be the most meaningful tattoo I have once I get it.

Soo ... best of luck with your tattoo endeavours! ^^
Oh, look. Another personal blog about writing. Whatever.
