It's got nothing to do with me having a tattoo, I haven't even got one. And I could care less if people have one or not. As long as it isn't something like what you're doing.

Stop being a twit now.

why do you slander me as ignorant, and why are you tying to taboo death? that is what most people do, and I don't want to talk in platitudes, but it IS a part of life. it is even disrespectful if you ink a harmless koi on your body in nippon, yet what do you thing all the severed geisha heads and hanya masks are standing for? it is a mandatory part of that culture, which is not accepted by some as a whole.

It is such a big part of that culture.
Well are you even Japanese?

I think so too. but I don't want to get a hanya mask, I'm trying to find some inspiration for something more original...

I would say google is more help,
I've never seen a picture of anyone on this forum with a tattoo anyway.

Besides the tribal on Salvs shoulder that is..

really? well, for example, I didn't know about the chrysanthemes as symbols for death, and now I get it why there are so many tats with this flower xD

Well if we can do anything as long as it doesn't offend ourselves - then I'm TOTALLY getting one of the Mohammed Drawings on my butt cheek. My local pizza guy is gonna LOOOOVE me for that one <3
