The big one is dope. You making me want to get more shit done. Especially some viking shit. What's the big one mean, if you know?

It is one of the most Germanic of all symbols, the Valknut. It's a strong symbol. Be prepared to stomp the shit out of crybaby albophobes and propagandists who see every ancient white ethnic symbol as omnievil. The German national soccer team's symbol was or even still is that knot.

Francis the ants are sick, the simplicity is very tasteful imo.

Opinions on this for a smaller, more discreet tattoo somewhere not too visible?

Thanks, m'man!

As for the eye, let's see what it looks like rendered.

^wrong way for satan gurl.

now you're just some neo-pagan treehugging lovespell-casting freakwitch.

looks good though.

And I have a VIKING RAVEN FLAG on the inside of my elbow at the bottom of my bicep! GRrrraAAAHHH!!!

I had the feeling that shit would go either way with absolutely no concept of gray matter. Ambitious concept, though.

wow that stuffs pretty damn interesting

Thanks. I've loved them ever since I was a little boy. When I was little my mom got me an ant farm but I set them free... In the house. I wasn't allowed to have any more then. As you can imagine, I was upset, so I would play with them outside. Eventually I found a piece of square plywood in the small wooded area behind my house. When I lifted it, I found a perfect colony. I they had horizontal tunnels and I could see an entire complex tunnel formation right on the surface. I would visit them every day and feed them. I played with and fed that colony for years. A while back I was going to go back to where it was to see if they're still there. They were large black ants. I hope it's still the same brood.

less crack! the ants look fine the way they are maaaan. idk.

well i already have much color on me. my two smallest (and also two first) tattoos are all black. the three bigger pieces have color in.

im gonna get some " tree of life" if i may say, as in old illustration with a snake wrapping around it, and

"homo homini lupus".

i'm still meditating though about the apple..

That sounds cool.

If you're not all about color, I've found some great ideas in old European emblem books that have the potential to translate well to skin. If you dig through them, you can find some really great stuff. For some reason I find a lot of inspiration here. Here's some cool shit and a link to a site the University of Illinois posted of a bunch of scanned emblem books:

This book has a lot of skulls!

Click "emblems" (in case anyone is retarded).

This one has a lot of cool ideas encapsuled in circles.

Ants, ants, ants. I love ants. Ants really are fantastic. Here might be a good place for you all to start, and you really should start with EO Wilson. Don't be shy, it's really great stuff:

Francis, you mentioned something about homemade tatts, who tattooed these on you?

i'm planing on my new session. really excited as i'm finally sure of what i want and exactly how. i think i'm gonna go for all black this time. inside forearm.

Yeah? What are you thinking about getting?

Those actually aren't homemade. I like to keep things simple. Mine are all black line and anything I ever get (probably one more if any) will be the same way. I was pondering getting antennae but I kind of like how they are without them. Sometimes people think the bull ant in the middle is an ice cream cone, though, so I might consider antennae. I've gotten into myrmecology over the years so I might consider it. What do you think?

lets see yur ants

No antennae.

Let's see more homemade tats!

Also,

Colin, do you have the Julian Red "deep cut" tank from a few seasons back? If so, are you willing to sell?

People neglect to see how great those detroits are. PM'd.

I was a tea man before. Coffee used to give me the loose poos. Now I'm addicted.

... To both the cause and effect :)

I have three ant faces on my neck in a semi-amateur style. I like the relaxed, unpretentious feel of tats like that. Nice skull and nice deer.

I'm still pondering what to get next. I want to keep things minimal, so this could take a long while.

so, you're on an internet forum and you put up a photo of you with a bunch of people and you blur your face and leave the faces of the other people in it unblurred, the same people who did not come to this forum to post the photo in this thread. you seem to like privacy because you blurred your face but u didn't account for the privacy of your friends?

stuff like this is mind-boggling to me

You're absolutely right. But I do think you're putting a little too much thought into this. (fixed)

I know it sounds cliche, but I'd really like a black cherry Gent Traveler with that sole.

Those look real nice.

I know, I know.

I'd throw her some stick, but I wouldn't be there when she came running back for another throw.

My gaydar just overheated. Jk, jkjkjk.

Now if we could only lift the smokescreen to reveal her [lack of] talent. That goes for 99.99999 percent of Tele-"musicians" or recording "artists" that are being regurgitated into the mouths of our children these days.

Speaking of no-talent hacks, is Amy Weinhouse dead yet? How about Katy Perry? I hate that one.

everyone plus rep f0rest please.

DITTO.....................
