Tattoos?

[Moto-X Alex]

Hey FullThrottleSMP, what's the tat on your back?:D

[FullThrottleSMP]

u like? its hard to see....but its a skull w/ 2 pistons crossed and coming out of the top of the skull, and they turn to bone at the bottom (yes, i did steal that idea from the TLD Piston Bone design) and the there's a tribal coming out both sides w/ gears on the inside....
that pic was taken about 5 minutes after i got the outline done, but now its almost finished, just 2 more hours to go on it! I dont have a more recent pic of it, but as soon as I get one I'll post it :)

[FullThrottleSMP]

im retarted...i guess I could go ahead and post the pic of the outline so you can atleast somewhat tell what it is! :)

[Arker]

i have the TLD "Piston Bone". nice tatoo... get a new pic!:cool:

[crustyfmx250]

i gotta get some tatoos done one of these days :D


that looks sweet

[FullThrottleSMP]

haha thanks :) i took a few pics of it today, so I'll post a new one within the next week or so

[freerider]

hey i just got some tribal art stuff on my leg today. it didn,t hurt as much as every one says ,which i was happy about.when i get a scanner i,ll post some pics!

[Moto-X Alex]

The hurting comes when you branch out to your lower back, arm, etc. Feels like a dremel tool. owwie. Nice tat, can't wait to see the color.

[AusFMX]

I couldn't be bothered with a tatoo.

[Nex corporation]

i cant whait to go to get my tatts, im only 16 and me old amn said if im gettin em whait till iv finished growin so they dont stretch so im goanna whait till im 17 or 18, im goanna get some sort of tattoo that has the flesh bein ripped open, with hook or somthin with the muscle underneath like seth and cinqs tatts, ill probly have it comin over my shoulder, then im goanna get my last name on my back, and some other stuff around that, then some more stuff on the other arm.

[FullThrottleSMP]

ya i was thinkin bout doin a 'breakthrough' pice (ripped flesh, muscle showing, etc) on my lower back...we'll see...i have plenty of time and canvas to work w/ :) Wanna sleeve one of my legs ankle to knee, something on my lower back, and quarter sleeve both arms....I'm gettin mine finished after i get back from San Diego...and I'm still waitin for someone to scan the new pics....

[freerider]

your probably talking about me! my dad won,t buy me a scanner so i,ve gotta pay fot it myself and i,am a little broke after paying for my ramp, so just hold on i.ll show you it soon dude!!

[FullThrottleSMP]

haha no no no you misunderstood, altho I was about to ask you about it anyway :) I meant I was waiting for someone to scan the new pics of my tat so I could post em! hehe
But either way I'm anxious to see yours!

[JAB]

so it hurts when ur gettin it done on close-to-tha-bone skin and it doesn't hurt when its muscle or fat skin?

[FullThrottleSMP]

everyone told me that mine was gonna hurt like crazy especially when you get over the spine...well that was a load of bull. I know people are gonna argue w/ me on this, but it really didn't hurt. I'm not sayin I didn't feel it, but it wasn't painful. The only times where it actually hurt a little was on the ouside of my shoulder blades, but that's it. But it's different for everyone. I know people who got a little tat on there upper back (and when I mean little, I mean one of those gay chinese symbols and stuff) and they almost cried cuz it hurt so bad...so it's different for everybody

[crustyfmx250]

lol, maybe were all just used to pain by now :D

It becomes normal after a few years of riding

[FullThrottleSMP]

this could be true also :) i've always had a pretty high pain tolerance....but after i started riding it became insainly high lol..

time to watch the new clowers vid :D

[bryan]

isn't there a lot of nerve endings in the lower back? is that what makes it hurt more?

[FullThrottleSMP]

ya, that's exactly why it hurts more on the lower back. i dont know from personal experience **yet** but it makes sense. If you touch your upper back, then touch your lower back, you feel it a lot more..so i can imagine what a tattoo would feel like

[mulcs]

what sorta prices do tatts go for

[FullThrottleSMP]

it depends on the artist and the work....the more detailed and color pieces are gonna be way more expensive than a basic grey wash tat....when mine is all done, I will have dumped $600 into it...but its a VERY detailed piece...7hrs....but it just depends....to me id rather spend a little more time and money and get a GOOD tat than go to a cheap place and get a tat that fades in 2 weeks etc etc....

[shaolin]

better off to spend more on something you like

[FullThrottleSMP]

here's a current pic of my tat...2 more hours to go on it...still have to shade the gears on the left and color in all the gears...im gettin it done at the end of this month...here it is....

[FullThrottleSMP]

above photo courtesey of Pucker

[freerider]

lookin good bro!! its kicking on nicely i,ve just picked out a new piece for my back but i,ll have to wait a bit ,till i get enough money! i am getting a new scanner for chistmas so i can finally post the pics of my leg work!!. :D

[FullThrottleSMP]

thanks man! so what did you pick out for your back? can't wait to see the pics of your leg work! I'm debating what to start on next, but I think I'm gonna do the flames up my leg next :)

[p00g0blin]

flames up yer leg? sounds familiar. just started this the other day. but of course i go twenty minutes before they close so i only got the black done. boring. needs color. thats my fifth unfinished piece....its becoming a trend. latas.

[p00g0blin]

heh...im a dolt. that picture barely shows them. my fault. maybe this is the right one. whatever. latas.

[NoFeAr FrEaK #101]

DAM that looks soooo cool!!! im not gonna get any tho, duno why but i just dont wanna relly, i want a eyebrow ring but my mum wont let me get one because we've got a balance point there or sumfin :( ill try convince her one day.

[freerider]

Man thats a pretty fat outline you got there!! you gonna get it coloured in?

[RedBull]

im gettin tats but im also waiting to stop growin and when i leave so my dad dousnt go ape ***** on me :D im gettin curious goerge (my nick name) and havin him doin a suicide on ym back i dont know wich sholder yet and i want a tat on my right arm of like a peice of skin missing with it all red and looking like mucle itll be sick

[REISERFMX]

ive drawn a few tattoos for friends. mostly bio mechanical and new style stuff. they have turned out really great, i have had the local tattoo shop call me twice wanting me to work for them once im a little older, but i really dont want to be a tattoo artist! im still undecided on me getting a tattoo, but i have drawn some really sweet ones for myself if i ever do!

[p00g0blin]

you get used to parents flippin out. but they all get over it. you should wait till yer 18 er 19 though....let the idea sit for a while...make sure you really want it. cuz once you start, its hard to stop. ive been getting them for 2 years now and i have 13 done. it gets addictive. but rushing into them is a really bad idea. what shops are around you guys?

[yzguy144]

Even though last names are sort of what everyone gets on their back, I want to get my last name going down my spine. I haven't seen many people with that. It will look dope I think.

[RedBull]

ya i think your last name down your spine will look way sick in like old english or dripping blood

[p00g0blin]

definetly the dripping blood...thatd be pretty bomb. sleepy time. latas.

[freerider]

i am a big fan of the old english style it looks cool!But dripping blood would also look sweet!! p00g0blin is right about them being addictive i,ve got two but i allready want more!!

[NoFeAr FrEaK #101]

dude's u guys are phsyco!!! all up how much hav all or your tatts costed p00g0blin ????

[p00g0blin]

how much have i spent on ink? not as much as you'd think. but thats only because im friends with my artist. i have to do some math to figure this one out. ive spent around $2000 on ink. if i had payed full price....my "Dark Ages Spawn" tattoo on my leg would have been $2700 by itself. it took 25 hours over a period of about a year. that line work on my arm was 3 hours, so that should have been like $300, i payed $75. it goes on like that. i made it a point to find stuff that I really wanted, but at the same time, my artist really wanted to do them. give an artist something he really wants to do, and i gaurentee you get a discount. custom work is ALWAYS cheaper. keep that in mind. now im off to New England Cycle to get some boots and the new Clowers video. i think its like 30 degrees out, shoot me. latas.

PS-here's a horribly lighted picture of the Spawn piece. it wraps most of the way around the leg.

PPS-i almost forgot, my exgirlfriend gave me lots of Gift Certificates to the shop i go to for ink, that saved me lots of money.

[Flap]

aw your pretty modifyed , p00g0blin!! lol

[p00g0blin]

and yer pretty witty. LOL...er not. latas.

[FullThrottleSMP]

ya i agree...custom work is the best way to go....when i told my artist about the idea for mine he was stoked...i gave him a basic idea and i let him go from there and it turned out great....and he really enjoys doin the piece too...says its one of his favorites in a loong time lol

[p00g0blin]

word. so when are you finishing yer back, fullthrottle? that #### should look pretty bomb when its done.

[FullThrottleSMP]

hopefully ill get it done in the next 2 weeks or so, gotta scrounge up some money and it'll be done :) can't wait!

[p00g0blin]

dont you love when you know yer gonna get ink? its the best feeling. well maybe not the BEST...but you get the idea. gotta go spend time with my lovely girlfriend. maybe she'll wanna watch Crusty 1. doubt it. im out. latas.

[NoFeAr FrEaK #101]

DUDE :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: thats alot of money!!!!

[p00g0blin]

are we talking about how muck ive spent on ink? if so, i agree...it is a lot of money....but when its something you love, you pay the price. and as i think FullThrottleSMP had mentioned earlier....you pay for what you get...good ink costs good money. basically, you pay once, you go through the pain once, and the tattoo lasts forever. not a bad deal if you ask me. i mean, think about bikes...you pay $5500 for a new 250....you ride the heck out of it....and you love every second of it...except crashing that is....but in the back of yer head...you KNOW it wont last forever. you dont have to think about ink that way. im so babbling. aight....latas.

[NoFeAr FrEaK #101]

yeah i spose ya hav got a point :rolleyes:

[p00g0blin]

awww yeah....i think im getting my flames filled in, in the next couple of days . cant wait. had to let that out. off to wendy's. latas.:D

[FullThrottleSMP]

sweet! post a pic when its done! im hopefully gettin my back finished in the next week or so *its gonna make me go broke, but i have to finish it before i move* :)

[p00g0blin]

moving to where?

[FullThrottleSMP]

Texas

[p00g0blin]

very cool. you happy about that?

[FullThrottleSMP]

anyone have a good recent pic of the forearm sleeve on Twitch's left arm? I've got the pic from bodilyharm but that was before it was colored....the outline was sweet, i bet it looks awesome colored in. so if ya have any pix post em...
or any good pix of any fmx'rs tats!

[FullThrottleSMP]

yes and no....it'll be cool cuz that's where i lived before i moved here so i'll be back w/ old friends and ill have a good job while im there

but on the other hand ive mad tons of awesome friends here and well just love it here as well...so we'll see how it goes :)

[RM_Rider_521]

Im going to get the thor logo on my bicep soon.. And maybe a fox logo on the other..

Then later on, I might get my name on my back in the same position as FullThrottles

[p00g0blin]

dood... i wouldnt advise getting tattooed at 15..er even 16, 17. yer still growing. and yer ideals are going to change before you hit 20 er 21. trust me. a lot of good shops wont even tattoo you under 18 even IF you have a parent with you. be patient. dont rush that ####. its a life decision. latas.

[FullThrottleSMP]

nod nod....listen to him bro....it took me a year to finally make sure that i wanted that piece on my back....you really should wait till you're atleast 18...give you some time to make sure that's what you want....

oh ya p.s----get something cool :) not a fox or thor logo haha be original, its all part of gettin tattoo'd...peace

[RM_Rider_521]

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo since last year.. I have it all planned.. I've asked about tattoo's from people who have had them from all ages.. And they all suggested that if I get a tattoo, then I should make it in a place that can be easily covered, like your shoulder, or top of your bicep..

My sister got her tatto when she was 15, and she doesnt regret getting it.. She says it doesnt bother her at all because she can always cover it up if she needs to..
I've pretty much made up my mind that I'am going to get one.. I've asked my mom and she was okay with it.. SO when I get one, ill take some pictures of it..

Oh, its not going to cover my whole arm, or back.. Its just going to be a fair sized logo.. ( ive also thought about losing interest in dirtbikes and then having a bike logo on my arm, but I dont think that it will happen.. If it does, and it bothers me, I could always get it removed, or I could just keep it covered up under my shirt..

[p00g0blin]

dood, its yer body and yer life. im just saying...i have a bunch of them, FullThrottle has them, dont ignore us cuz you disagree with us. dont talk to people that HAVE them...talk to the people that DO them. they know more than all of us, if they are good at what they do. latas.

[WaussInd]

Why the hell would you get a Thor logo, anyway? That'd be a pretty ### tattoo unless you owned the company or something. It's not at all original, and it's totally pointless....

[RM_Rider_521]

Why does it matter to you guys anyway?

Would a sevenind logo be better? Haha

I know what your going to say.. and its the same reason why I would get a thor or a fox tatto...

What did you mean by saying " dont talk to people that HAVE them...talk to the people that DO them. " Its the exact same thing..

I've talked to a lot of people that have them.. I've made up my mind.. So quit yappin

[crustyfmx250]

what happens if thor goes bankrupt in 5 years and u have to wear a different brand? :D heh

[p00g0blin]

its not the same at all man. talk to a tattoo artist that does good work and actually cares about his customers, and im sure he/she will tell you to wait till yer older. for example..check out www.greenmantattoo.com they are a local shop here that is nationally known for quality work and being very positive to their customers..blah blah blah...check the site out. email one of them with yer idea and see what they say. i guarentee you'll understand what we're tryin to say then. im not tyring to talk #### about yer ideas er whatever. to each his own man, thats what i live by. im just tryin to help out. seriously, check out the site and drop an email. latas holmes. im at a party and im online...what the f**k is that?!?! aight, for real this time, LATAS.

[FullThrottleSMP]

well, I finially got my tat finished today! I'll post a pic of the finished product once it is all healed...well atleast when it all matches lol!

[freerider]

sweet dude can't wait to see!! soon i should be able to put pics of my new and old tatts up!! i think you americans will like my new one cause its got a little u.s.a touch:D

[FullThrottleSMP]

haha awesome freerider! Can't wait to see!

[HONDA_508]

im getting my last name across my upper shoulders
G A L L A N T , bbut down the spine would seem really cool to i never thought about that

hmmm i dunno ?, me and my freinds used magic marker and old english style stencils on our backs and they looked cool, but we did that in the summer, and they faded fast cuz of swimming, but we just wanted to see what they would look like

[ont.freerider]

fullthrottle man you never told me you got it done! thats awesome! make sure you post the pics even if you have to do some 007 type stuff with a "certain" scanner! haha

i think gettin a company logo is pretty dumb personally! was it cool 5 years ago to get a nike tatoo?? yes! is it cool to get a NIKE tatoo now?? no!!! trends don't last forever! tatoo's do!

fullthrottle man where ya been?

[p00g0blin]

company logo's? hmmm.....someone might wanna rethink that idea. if you love dirtbiking that much..save the money yer gonna spend on the tattoo and put it into yer bike. er new gear...er SOMETHING besides a tattoo yer gonna regret in 6 months. latas.

and the fact that they can be removed is no excuse to get something yer not sure about. laser removals are the most painful things ever and they dont completely remove the ink. and not to mention they leave you looking like a burn victim for the rest of your life. you cant tattoo over a lasered area....so yer stuck with a NASTY scar forever. same thing with cover-ups. painful as #### and they dont always look right. my whole wrist is tattooed black cuz a dumb mistake a tattooist made on me....and ill never be happy about it. and i dont think you would be either.

image: my lovely solid black wrist.

[p00g0blin]

wait, i must have missed something...it was cool to get a nike tattoo???? glad i missed that one. phew.

[ont.freerider]

haha yeah man you wouldn't believe the nike craze! haha five years ago that is! haha i was jsut a little kid then but all these kids were getting it shaved it into their heads and crap! it was awful! hahah

[shaolin]

i wanna get something to do with dirt bikes like what full throttle has. but im no good at drawing or designing so i cant come up with anythnig good

[p00g0blin]

i remember that nike ***** now. i was 17 er so when that was going on. but it was scary.

i cant draw either....just go find a shop with a good reputation...then look through the artist's portfolios and find one that does the style you want. then talk to them and 99% of the time they will be happy to cook something up for you. just work with them and give them as many ideas as you can. if they cant come up with something you like..dont be afraid to tell them that you dont like it. if need be, find another shop. the main thing with getting a tattoo is that yer happy and the work is done right. if you have any questions....post em up here...im friends with the guys at a couple of the shops around here...and i have no problem asking them questions for other people. maybe they know of someone in yer area that is really good. aight...hit me up if you need anything. latas.

[p00g0blin]

heh, how about the fact that you live in australia?! i didnt notice that before. so maybe i cant help you find a shop. but ive seen some sick ink come out of australia...so it shouldnt be too hard. latas.

[Pucker]

fullthrottle moved to texas :( he currently doesnt have a phone line, and is still waiting for his new computer to arrive in the mail.

[p00g0blin]

he moved already? he was online earlier. but i didnt have a chance to say hi.

[Pucker]

yup, he moved sunday morning. he uses his friends computer, but its usually not for long... dont feel left out.. he doesnt talk to his friends in tucson either...

[p00g0blin]

ha...naw..i dont feel left out. i was too busy writing to Fleshwound Films asking about my Crusty videos. im going to kill someone if they dont get here soon.

[Pucker]

if they are being sent ups expect to wait 3x as long.... just a warning from experience

[p00g0blin]

yessum..ups it is. thing is....ups ground only takes 5 days to get across the country. there is a gaurentee on that somewhere. i think the problem lies within fleshwound. ill just call them tomorrow if i dont hear back. the same ***** happened with the mulisha when i ordered a hoodie. it took them 4 months to get it to me. latas.

[Pucker]

when i orderd my computer.. 3 buisness days turned into 2 weeks... with ONE holiday... and they backtracked like 5 states and then it sat there for 5 days.... so its probably not fleshwound.... ups has sucked lately

[WaussInd]

yeah! My new pants were supposed to be here like, 3 or 4 weeks ago... and there's no sign of them anywhere...

and the fact that they can be removed is no excuse to get something yer not sure about.

To RM_Rider_251 or whatever
Really, dude... just because you CAN get it removed doesn't mean you WANT to, or SHOULD.

Tattoos aren't something that was meant to be temporary. If they were, they wouldn't inject ink INTO THE SKIN. Removal of a tattoo is excrutiatingly painful, and there's always a big scar leftover... with little dots of ink that won't come out.

My friend Jonah had a big "Straight Edge" across his shoulders in two lines. He didn't sell out, but he didn't want the tattoo anymore... so he opted for laser removal. He said it was the worst pain he's felt in his entire life, and said he would never even consider it again. Now... MOST of the ink is gone... there are dots on his back... and every letter is a big burn-like scar, like poogoblin said.

Now wouldn't you feel stupid with a nice big Thor shield scar on one arm, and a big Fox head on the other??! I know I sure would... for a couple reasons.

Embarrassed that I have scars from a big mistake I made...
and Embarrassed to have such an unoriginal idea for a tattoo in the first place!

[p00g0blin]

haha...straight edge tattoos. now theres another not so great idea. my best friend has a huge "Drug Free" thing on his back that looks sick...but still...not something I would ever think about getting. oh wait..im not straighedge. but even if i was......
