Do any of the guys in BTS have tattoos?
As far as I know, they don’t have any tattooJungkook said he really wanted tattoo during American Hustle Life (he was 17 years old) but he was scolded by Suga.We found out that Suga once said in an interview, the question was; "You are rapper but you don't have any tattoo."With this, Suga answered;"When I was young, I wanted to have tattoos. But that idea is all gone when I turned 20. I found out that even Pharell Williams is erasing his tattoos. He said he doesn't even know why he decided to have tattoos. I have something want to do in the future. I want to do some charity work, but having a tattoo might work negatively. That is why I'm holding back."(~~~be right back, holding back my tears)During Bon Voyage season 2 in Hawaii, they had fun going around the city for friendship trip. All members were paired (3–2–2). Suga and J-Hope went to temporary tattoo shop to get couple tattoo (henna tattoo). They chose turtle shape with peace sign on the body of the turtle.On the same trip, V also went to tattoo shop to get henna tattoo. His choice was sun and moon. When they arrived back in Korea, V’s tattoo was still visible and captured by fans, leaving some fans wondering whether this was permanent.Bonus answer:Enjoy this pic of Jimin from MAMA 2014 with fake tattoo containing spoiler of HYYH series
Poll: Do you like tattoos?
I think they're OK. I've seen plenty of bad ones and good ones, and I know many people in my family who've gone and got a tattoo on a whim, and have grown to hate it and had to go through the long process of tattoo removal. So that's pretty much put me off getting tattoos really. My mum has a blue and green butterfly on her shoulder and she still hates it. I personally wouldn't get one UNLESS it was incredibly small and hidden (like the back of my toe or somewhere hidden), but even then I probably wouldn't really want one that much. I'm not sure quite of the reason for this surge in tattoos, it's a trend really - and trends come and go and unfortunately I suspect that a lot of people will be regretting them and getting tattoo removals as well. That said, there are some amazing tattoos, done well and done artistically that can look very good. It's up to the individual really, but I think that there are way too many people who get drunk and end up getting something they regret.
Why do foreigners get the wrong Chinese tattoos all the time?
The problem starts with the fact that you will likely be getting your tattoo inked by someone who is not Chinese.Then add the fact that many tattoo flashers are incorrect. For instance, flashers around the USA proclaim this tattoo to mean courage:This tattoo is actually two characters smashed together. The characters are 大過 and the meaning is “terrible mistake.” At least 5 people have contacted me with this same tattoo over the years to decipher it. So it must be in the flashers of many tattoo parlors.People should really consult a professional or at least a native Chinese translator before they get inked.You should make sure you are getting a good translation, but beyond that, a nice word may have a different meaning on skin. A word for glory and honor would be fine for calligraphy as a gift, but looks arrogant if inked on your body.There are services that offer verified tattoo templates. Mine happens to be here: Chinese and Japanese Kanji Translation and Tattoo Image Service and for about $20, I will keep you from making a fool out of yourself.The following characters mean “frugal woman” or “cheap girl.” Colloquially, this means “whore,” “slut,” or “prostitute” in China…It may start with incorrect flashers, and non-Chinese tattoo artists. However, the flawed Chinese tattoos on the bodies of non-Chinese people around the world are often a result of those folks being too trusting and naive. Alcohol also plays a role in many tattoo disasters.
What do I do if my boyfriend has a thing for girls with tattoos?
I won't be getting any tattoo any time soon but he seems to be really into them. Why would he date date me if I'm the opposite of what he likes? I don't get it.
My sister said I'm too fat for a hip tattoo?
I suppose it depends how you view tattoos. Personally, I think to say a bigger person shouldn't have tattoos in certain placements suggests that person sees tattoos as a fashion accessory of some sort, which I entirely disagree with. I see tattoos as just art, quite simply, and the only difference with a bigger person is that they have a larger canvas, which in a way is a positive! Of course it's always a nice bonus if a tattoo accentuates the body in some way. But I don't think that should rule anything out for anybody. If you are particularly concerned with that aspect, it's just simply a case of finding the right tattoo to flow with your shape best. I can't see you so I can't speak for you, but just as an example, if somebody is particularly large in one area then a tiny tattoo placed in the centre of that area may highlight the expanse of flesh, whereas a larger tattoo that follows the curves of your body would in fact compliment your shape. But that isn't a rule by any means. If you want a small tattoo then your shape shouldn't prevent that! It's still perfectly viable skin! I once stumbled across a forum (no idea where it is) with a thread of women talking about their tattoos, started with someone with a picture of theirs - she was much heavier than you by the sounds of it, and had a very large stomach, with a group of stars tattooed on top of it. I wasn't a personal fan of the tattoo but her attitude was great, as were the others who posted with similar stories - she deliberately had a tattoo placed in the worst area of her body, and for her it turned that area from a point of self hatred into her favourite part of her body, BECAUSE she had this tattoo that she loved so much placed right in the middle of it. And while it may not be anything that would be socially classed as 'sexy' or would appear on the cover of a magazine, she loved it and it gave her a huge burst of confidence over something she previously had an extremely low self esteem about. I thought that was a brilliant outlook and if you can go into it with that attitude then screw what anybody else says!
How to convince parents to let me get a tattoo?
I am 16, and have wanted to get a tattoo of some certain song lyrics since I was 13. These lyrics are not only meaningful to me, but were written by my favorite band. I would wait to turn 18, but I am meeting the band in a few months, and it would be so amazing to be able to show them the tattoo. My dad is 100% dead set against it, and my mom is less extreme, but still doesn't want to allow me. I have brought it up a few times over the years, and each time the answer has been no, because they think I could change my mind, or I could lose interest in the lyrics or band. I understand their point of view, and I think they (or at least my mom) understands mine. How can I get them to agree to this? Also there hasn't been a single doubt in my mind for the past three years that I want this. I am not doing it to say that i have a tattoo, I am also not doing it to show off to the band. I want to do it for me. To mark a place in my life, and to carry with me for the rest of my life. Any opinionss are welcome, except ones saying not to get the tattoo. I am purely looking for ways to convince my parents. THANK YOU :)
Have you ever got a tattoo of another man or another woman tattooed on your chest that you were dating or married to, and it didn't work out?
Thanks for the A2A.As a tattooer, I have put plenty of names of significant others on clients. The amount of name tattoos I’ve done has dropped drastically in the past decade, but I still do them from time to time.I have also been in the predicament of covering up names I’ve tattooed on people. Some have been requested before the healing time was done so they had to endure having it for a bit longer than they wanted before we could even cover up the tattoo. I make it a point to not question anything during the coverup process. I am merely here to try to minimize their pain and focus it elsewhere.If you are considering getting the name of your significant other, I strongly urge you to consider the following advice as I have seen many long lasting couples make it.If you want your significant other’s name or image tattooed on you because:they want it, don’t do it. Tattoos are personal. Getting their name/image for anyone other than yourself is sure to lead to resentment that will show itself later on. “I got this for you!”you’re trying to reaffirm your relationship, don’t do it. That’s like getting married when you aren’t really working out or having a kid because your marriage is failing. No good will come from this.you have something to prove to others, don’t do it. A tattoo should never be used for validation. If you need validation, a tattoo will not give it to you.You can’t imagine yourself without that person on it, go for it. It should feel natural, right, and unforced.Bonus story: I had a couple come in to a shop, and the girl said they were getting each other’s names. The guy repeatedly said he wasn’t doing it, and he didn’t think it was a good idea. She laughed him off and said she’d go first, but he’d get the name, too. He folded his arms and gave up arguing, saying one last time he wasn’t doing it. Perhaps I should have refused to do the tattoo at all, but I agreed to tattoo her. Listening to her completely ignore him, I took the path of least resistance and tattooed her. At the end, she turned to him and said “alright, your turn” and he shrugged and said he wasn’t going to do it. She proceeded to berate him, calling him names, and tried to guilt him into doing it. He broke it off with her, in the [now] quiet shop and laughed as he left her there, freshly tattooed. It was the most awkward moment in my career giving her aftercare advice…. I don’t regret tattooing her. Some people need to learn things the hard way.
What do you think of the Cultural appropriation of tattoos?
The most common "indian" tattoo we see non-natives getting are dreamcatchers. This is actually hysterically funny among indians, as non-natives are taking an element of native culture that they clearly don't understand and using it in a ridiculous context. Dreamcatchers are crib mobiles, nothing more than cradle decorations, and they are unique to Ojibwa culture. Yet we always see people who say "my great grandma was cherokee so I got this dreamcatcher tattoo to honor her". yeah, that's like getting a shamrock tattoo to honor your Italian ancestor. It makes no sense. The other type of "indian" tattoos we see are the "indian maidens lounging with wolves" or "indian chief with an eagle" sort of nonsense. Like this crap: http://nonnativenativeart.blogspot.com/ It isn't Indian, it doesn't "honor" us, and it is insulting and offensive and absurdly funny. You never see real natives getting this sort of garbage. And while dreamcatcher tattoos are harmless (if stupid) some tattoos that use some of our sacred imagery in inappropriate ways IS offensive. Especially eagle feathers. Those are the equivalent of military medals or awards among us. You have to earn them, and be given them. You don't just appropriate them for yourself. It would be like me getting a tattoo of the US Marine corps logo, just because I liked the design. Every real marine would be P***ed at me, because I haven't earned the right to wear that symbol. You get it now?
