Death Bear, I do believe we need to work together on this WF Big Brother thing, just to make sure one of us can bring home the bacon.

Go for it man, it'd be flattering in a weird way. I wouldn't encourage him, your lucky and you had quite a good artist who seemed to know what he's doing, he may not be so lucky |

...yeah, I wouldn't encourage anything done with a prison machine/gun. You'll be a LOT better off in the hands of a professional with good, modern equipment - especailly in the cleanliness and safety departments.
That said, DeathBear's tat did turn out pretty friggin' awesome.

Oh HA, I didnt see the bold in his quote. I thought he meant the design.
No no no no no dude, do not get a tat with a makeshift gun unless you are EXTREMELY famililar with the artists' work. Most of the time they come out like shit, and even the good ones are never as good as they can be. People seem to like mine, but I can see a ton of flaws in it (not that I don't like it, I do).
This is a permanent mark on your skin we're talking about... leave it in the hands of the pros.

Some things, like prison stigmas is what keeps me from getting a spiderweb on my elbow. Looks awesome, but the negative things associated with them just doesn't make me feel comfortable with having one...

Hahaha why, what does it mean? The tattoo of a spiderweb on an elbow or a neck most usually indicates that a person has done time in jail/prison. The spiderweb as a symbol of "doing time" comes from the notion that a spider takes a long time to make a web. Therefore translating to doing time. All ethnic races; especially gang members may "ink up" with a spiderweb. Most likely places to find the spiderweb tattoo are: neck, elbows and knees. However, one may find them almost anyplace on the body. To some, the location of the tattoo means nothing. |

Back in the 'day', some Aryan groups also used them as a symbol for killing a minority.

I'm thinking of getting a tattoo on my 18th, my first 1, as I become an adult, and I want to get a lyric from one of my favourite bands somewhere on me(not sure where yet). The lyric is "Live faster, love stronger", but I might just go for LFLS, I know what it means.
But I was wondering does anybody know any particularly good fonts? I'm into sort of Aztec sort of stuff, something a bit strange/unusual, just anything to spice it up. Mexican skulls are also awesome, but yeah, any ideas because I'm a bit of a newb in this department

Some ( most) people just have them because they look cool. I said I wouldn't get one because I don't like what they meant (as in past tense, as in times change, as in most people don't give a  anymore), obviously other people (like CM Punk) don't care, and just like them for how they look. |

HAHA at the spider web thing... its no gang involved, from a long time ago, spiderweb tattoos were usually on people that didnt like to work, so they never moved they arms, therefore creating spider webs on them, just to clear that up thanks :-D

I aint going to look at a spiderweb tattoo the same ever again.  |

Not even google turned up anything on that. I have however heard that sailors would get them for the reason of leaning to one side to keep their balance on a ship, thus not using one of their arms very often. But if you think they have no gang affiliation at all, google search 'spider web tattoos and gangs.' I can't even believe me mentioning them has gone THIS far. They're not anything special, a **** ton of people have them now, for no real reason anymore... maybe I should just get one so we can all move on. |
