Misc Help the Intern Out!

Posted by Unpaid Arts Intern on Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 12:59 PM

So, I am contemplating getting my first tattoo, and while I know what I want it to be (a pterodactyl!) I have yet to decide where to place it on my body, and what position the pterodactyl should be in (i.e. flying, crouching, getting into a fight with a zeppelin).

Blogtownies, I open the floor for suggestions, and if one tickles my fancy I may just take it!

May I suggest having Calvin pee on the pterodactyl.

You could make that picture into a t-shirt and then change it when you get tired of it. ;) Or you could get a it as a tramp stamp just chilling... like waiting for its next victim. ;)

A pterodactyl with wing-mounted RPGs?

I'm sure you're already considering this, but you need to work in a white tiger and possibly some boobs before it even registers on the awesome meter.

I dunno, maybe you might want to rethink this. Tattoo's are permanent. They have the potential to reflect what matters to you. They are a statement that you'll carry with you until death, a cover up, or a painful removal. Do you really want to tell your kids that the tattoo you're wearing was the idea of some stranger that commented on a blog post 20 years ago?

I think it would be way cooler if you ended up being the only person in America NOT to have a tattoo.

Right now, it would make you totally counterculture. Until all the yuppiehipsters decide it's cool, too. Then: not-having-a-tattoo will become the ironic tee shirt and pornstache of the future!

So, yeah, I guess you should get one at that.

Have the pterodactyl flying that old plane, with a cigar in his mouth. That would be badass x20

"pterodactyl!"

Placed on your left boob if your ripped, on your ass if you're not.

How about a full back tattoo of a newly shorn sheep getting you tattooed on it's back. Now that would be cool.
