Tattoos

Tegs, why not just get a jazzed up double-helix, eh? You'd be saying pretty much the same thing, without the blatant pop culture reference.

ooooh wow, that would be cool, Malfriend! It would be so much more personal and secretive and cute!

It could be a little...swirlier...and you could even put another line in there to signify love, I guess....if you wanted. And...yeah.

So many ways of personalising it, really.

why dont you just get a whole new tattoo!

because she wants that one?

this is true. But if your going to change it make it look completely different.
then I guess your getting a different tattoo
that probably doesnt make sense, tegan I may just be "some girl on an internet forum" but think it through before you get a made up symbol from a tv show thats about people with magical powers commited to your body for life. yes

I kinda want a tat on the back of my neck now. Even though I have been dead against the idea of a tattoo simply because they arent 'natural' and i dont want to have an ugly mess on my skin when im 50. I would kinda like one though the more I think of it.

Er, I like the helix thingo?
Simple. Nice.
Fuck the tv show reference, it's a cool shape.

but its not a tv show reference it symbolizes the whole fucking tv show

But it doesn't nescessarily for her. If I got this symbol on me;

Spoiler:

I could get it because I love the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Or, alternatively, I could get it because I am a typographist and love the form of an asterisk.
Or I could just get it because I think it looks pretty, and is a nice shape.

Just because it comes from somewhere doesn't mean that's what it represents to someone.

Perfectly worded.

-is that the symbol from that tv show heroes.
tegan -yeah,
-why did you get that
tegan-because, it means like, something to me. I saw it and it had a completely different meaning to the one that it orignially had on the tv show.Like my interpretation of it is so personal to me that I had to copy the design, from TV.
-yeah.
-HEY GUYS THIS CHICK HAS THE THAT SYMBOL FROM THAT TV SHOW HEROES TATTOOED ON HER

Wow, Sarah, I really didn't pick you to be one to be self-conscious about decisions. Tegan wants the tattoo, she likes the tattoo, why should she give a shit what anyone else thinks? EW OH MY GOD I'M THE GIRL WHO GOT HER EYEBROW PIERCED, EWWWWWWWWWWW.
EWW OH MY GOD IT'S THAT GIRL WHO WEARS BOY CLOTHES, EWW IT'S THE GIRL WHO BUYS CLOTHES FROM OPSHOPS.

It's all the same shit, really. Whatever you do someone's gon' hate it.
May as well do something you really like then.

Amen.

I can't remember the last time I met someone who really liked my piercings, but that's not my problem.

And it's not a bad symbol. In fact, I think it is rather suitable for tattooing.

It's definitely something that Tegan needs to think about BECAUSE people will have Sarah's reaction, and because of that she might get sick of it. But a strong opinion is really no need to react like that, Sarah - I mean, I think she gets that you're anti-tv show tats. Now that you've said it - several times - I guess the nice thing to do would be shut up and support Tegan with whatever she decides - yes, even if she decides something that isn't what YOU agree with or would pick for yourself.

You are sort of acting like The Man. *gasp*

I like it when people get stupid tattoos. Then I can lol at them on the inside.

haha yes! this haggard forty something year old lady saw my tattoo at work, and pulled up her top to show me hers. She has "pussy below" on her belly with an arrow pointing down. it looks really bad. not just the fact tat she chose to get tat put on her permanently, but the quality was bad too. I lol'ed inside

If she has the guts to still show it off, she probably still finds it funny.

I think I'll be like that. I'll never regret my tattoos, I think for the same reason I'm not ashamed of scars I have.

LOLERSKATES I HAVE A SCAR ON MY STOMACH FROM ACCIDENTALLY SPILLING BOILING HOT TOMATO SAUCE I LOVE IT HEAPS.

I dont care what tegand does with her body, Im just showing her what alot of people are gonna do if she get that etched on her skin forever
OH I have an idea. you could have that symbol as like the stalk of a flower or something

My mum got one on Saturday, over her skin-cancer-removal scar.

It's so cool, she's now got a rose on her shoulder.

And dad doesn't know! *giggle*
