That looks awesome Lee! Great location for it, too. I love ink like that.

As for the pain of tattoos... they don't even hurt that badly at all! :/ I've got one right on my spine and yes, it is painful to get a tattoo, but yes it is also completely bearable pain. Compared to all the needles and spinal taps and stuff I had when I was in hospital, tattoo pain is like 2/10. The only thing I'd recommend if you're getting a tattoo is to drink lots of water and keep your blood sugar up - a lot of people faint because they have to sit still in the one position for a long time.

I got a new tattoo the other day. It's a turtle about 4 inches long on my upper arm right below where my shirt stops.

The dilemma of waiting until I'm more physically fit to get a tattoo always arises when I think about getting one. I once heard that once choosing a tattoo design, you should wait three months to see if you still like the idea, save for it being an in-the-moment sort of thing. Well I was thinking of getting the phrase "Black Eyed Dog" tattooed on me somewhere. It's a Nick Drake song which speaks to who I am so simply a beautifully, and I've had this idea for a couple years now, so it's not exactly a dieing idea.

Perhaps at the end of this summer, coupled with a relevant graphic. Ah, the options.

I lost the mother ****ing drawing I spent probably a good 12 hours making perfect. And I was going to go get my tattoo memorial day weekend. Now I'm not sure if I'll be able to draw it as good again...

I am going to get my first tattoo in a few weeks, and music is a huge part of my life. So of course it will have a music feel to it. Im looking to take notes from a song that really speaks to me and fits me to put into the tattoo.

I was hoping you guys could post some songs that you find inspirational or tell a good life story.

Now before you spam with "You need to pick the song its your tattoo". trust me I know. I am simply trying to get some suggestions to help lead me to the song I really want to use

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps, and I will be sure to post a picture of the tattoo when its all done.

Dea-Destruction

Just try and get up
You gotta slowly brush off
I know that words aren't enough
But you're better than this

Save your heart
For someone that's worth dying for
Don't give it away
Torn apart
Never getting what you've been crying for
It's always the same

The song is from Mayday Parade "Save Your Heart".
If you listen to the whole song. It tells a great story.
I would want a tat with something along the lines of these lyrics.
But, you wanted Ideas. And here ya go Mr. Man!

Thanks man, I was also looking at the chorus of Maydays song The End. Glad to see we have similiar taste in music.

Dea-Destruction

Yes. They have great music, if not that song "The Silence", or "Still Breathing".

I hung out with Mayday the last time they were in Atlanta and all the guys are really cool, the story they told me behind the song "Still Breathing" is phenominal I have tons of respect for the entire band.
