Nope, you aren't the only tattooed 'freak' on these boards.

My right shoulder has an original biomech design. Left bicep has kanji for 'tiger' (yes I researched it for 2 months before I had it done!) and a dragon below it. Left shoulderblade has a samurai, and below it right across my back has two samurai warrior on horseback fighting (half shaded at the moment, going back on Friday for completion).

Why is it that someone always has to say that tattoos are self 'mutilation' though? It's their own body, no-one elses. People pay thousands for original artwork, so why not have something extra-original that is always with you and means something to YOU.
