The tattoo is on my right shoulder, will this disallow me from joining as an officer?
I’m talking about the Irish Defence Forces you twat.
I thought having at least one tattoo was compulsory in the military.
Seriously though, as long as the tattoo is not sectarian or otherwise offensive you’ll be OK. And you can always come and join the British army if the Irish one doesn’t let you in.
(LOL at the tit who thought you wanted to join the IRA!!!)
ok so im going to a tattoo party and im irish and getting my first tat. I have been looking for a irish clover with a claddagh ring around it or something like that. can any of you help with pics even if its just some kind of irish tat and where it should go. Thank you
In the state of Michigan what you are about to do is illegal. There are serious fines, and jail time to those that operate/tattoo like this. This is also a bigger health risk. Normally these are done out of a home, which is not a sterile environment. Does this home or wherever have an autoclave on site? How did they bring their materials? Are they licensed, trained (for how long, 1 week?), bloodborne pathogens certified, and do they autoclave all instruments touching you? Can they prove this to you? If they say "NO" to anyone of these questions, you are foolish to let them touch you. You run the risk of Hepatitis, HIV, MRSA (which can kill you).
As far as looking for art, you really need more time to think and decide what design you want on your body. How much time have you spent checking all the artist stuff out? These are major decisions that are/could be life changing. You have to live with the piece for the rest of you life. Laser hurts, and cover ups are more money-why? Get it right the first time. Please take your time and don’t jump the gun to get tattooed by a dirty one. Isn’t your life and you body worth that? People in this area/artists work like this for a reason, and it is not a good one. They could be the biggest hack in your area for all you know who happens to have a bad case of MRSA that he’s not telling you about. Please think twice about this, do NOT be pressured.
I am not trying to talk you out of a tattoo. First find out design you can live with forever. Be safe and go to a reputable artist at a shop, that can do all the above I mentioned.
Good luck, hope this help you.
i am looking to get a tattoo and was thinking about something along the lines of a 4 leaf clover( which represents luck) and the number 13 in the middle( which is supposed to be unlucky). Does anyone know where I can check out custom tattoos or does anyone have any good ideas?
ok well dont get a plain straght up green clover. My friends uncle showed us his clover tattoo and it was just a green blob. So i suggest (if you make it simple) get an outline of a clover in green with the number 13 in the center in some font. Another could be a clover with vines on the steam creating the number 13. I like your idea by the way.
Anyone ever seen these two symbols tattooed? and if so how did it look? I really would like to have these two symbols tatted on me, but i’m not sure where and what I could use to sort of make it flow. anyone have any ideas?
If anyone is wondering why I like those symbols
shamrock-irish heritage
fleur de lis- hurricane katrina
Why not put them on top of one another. Make the fleur de lis fairly big in one color, and then put the shamrock inside it in green (or whatever color… i’d just imagine you’d want green). I think that would be one way to incorperate them both into one another.
Everyone and their sister has a shamrock tattoo. They’re all over the place. Google both designs and see if there’s any pictures of them that you like. Then take them to the tattoo shop and tell them how you want it to look. I’m sure you could come up with something pretty awesome.
Good luck!
something along the lines of growth or something that is meaningful but also looks good with the symbol..I found a tree of life I like but unsure about the celtic and kanji together–please help
I think a lotus flower would go much better with a kanji symbol, or a cherry blossom. Get something that’s regional to the dialect, and the tattoo will be much more aesthetically pleasing. Here’s some images to help you out.
