Tattoos inspired by philosophy

[Iskatehard]

Thoughts in them?

I'm down with tattoos. And I think it's cool when somebody has one and it has a significant meaning to them. And I think a tattoo that symbolizes how you approach life, or how you regard yourself... Or anything else philosophically related.. I think it's probably worth it, if you really agree with it.

Anyone got any? Anyone planning on any? Or maybe some of you guys feel like tattoos are bad in general?


I have one right now.. Just "Say Yes". Sure, I've heard "how basic" enough times in my life since I've got it. But it is a tribute to Elliott Smith in a sense.. A man I've listened to so much while growing up over quite a few years (but I dunno if you'd really consider being the age of 19 as "up"). And his stuff has had a huge role in how I've developed I think..

But that's not just it.. There's a lot more to it, but I don't believe I ever have told anybody.. I'd almost say "fuck it" and spill the beans now, but.. I might not.


And I really dig quotes for tattoos. Call me cheap, or a rip off.. Or unoriginal. But hey, okay.

Right now I am considering two possibilities (I have for a loooong time).

I'm either going to get a quote from the book/film Fight Club.. Maybe the "No fear, no distractions, the ability to let that which does not matter, truly slide".. Or something reflective of the ideas (and I'll use quotes to list ideas, but there are a lot of quotes concerning the topics they do in the film) "Only after we've lost everything are we free to do anything"/"Losing all hope is freedom".. Maybe something with the "The things you own end up owning you"..

All very correct, I think. And all worth considering at all times.


But then there is Modest Mouse. Brilliant people.

They've got a few.. There are some very good quotes from the song "Talking shit about a pretty sunset".. Examples from this song would be:

"When I finally get it figured out, I've changed the whole damn plan"

"Blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret soon"

"Changed my mind so much I can't even trust it"
(And if I got that one^, I highly consider this next quote to go with it)
"My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself "




Or their quote "It's hard to remember we're alive for such a short time"... Possibly "we're better than this"(but that's almost TOO vague) Or something from the song "I came as a rat" It's got a lot, but to show some possibilities in case you're not familiar.. I love that last verse (though all the words to it are amazing)

"I came as a call, I came as flat
I came too soon so I came back
I came as flowers, I came as nice
I came as dirt and I came as its price
It takes a long time, but God dies too
But not before he'll stick it to you
I don't know, but I been told
You never die and you never grow old"

ORRRR

If I decided to get an image instead of words.. I'd get a picture of a television, with a landscape on it, or something along those lines.. Influenced by the quote "I wanna look out the window of my color TV"..


Stupid ideas?

Your ideas?

[killyourfamily]

If I could design my own layout/theme and shit for something like this, I'd get it.

[blakiethaghettokid]

I haven't considered getting any tattoos anytime soon but if I do get one Quotes seem like the way to go... Unlike the idiots that go to my school that have the fucking Charlotte area code and shit on their damn neck.

[Iskatehard]

yeah.. I've seen area code tats.. What the fuck?

[pain.]

ehhhh i think getting song/movie quotes is not really a great idea.
i mean yeah its meaningful and all that but you know how it goes when sometimes you loose interest and things. and having something youve grown out of stuck on you can kinda suck

but ive got a few tats lined up soon
pretty soon after a fat pay check im going to get my chest piece i wanna get drawn up and priced
its gonna be a cardinal on the right with my granpas initials under the wing. he was a huge cardinals baseball fan. and on the other side its going to be a canary with my grammys initials cause she loved tweety bird from looney toons and all that. then the birds are gonna have a banner in their beaks and its gonna say "just live"
its philosiphy i guess, its how i look at life. no matter how shitty things can be going, it could always be worse no matter what, and you just gotta chin up and make it though


i also wanna get my dog we had to put down tatted on my right thigh, and maybe an stl cardinals logo on the back of my right arm. ive got quite a few ideas that im really really sure of.

[Skating Forever Even in Heaven]

I'm probably going to get a tattoo saying "Pulp Fiction" exactly how it is on the front cover.

Now before you go on saying that's stupid, let me explain: Pulp Fiction is my all-time favorite movie. It is the movie that got me "into" movies which is biggest hobby ever and it inspired my ambition that I've had for more than half my life (becoming a director). Hell, watching movies is not really my hobby, it's my lifestyle.

[blakiethaghettokid]

yeah.. I've seen area code tats.. What the fuck?
I'd see if they were in like LA or something but Charlotte isn't Intimidating at all, Not even the "West side" Where are the niggers live. I've never been all the way to cali but from what I hear from relatives, I bet they wouldn't last a day over there with these "Goon" mentalities.

The area code tattoos Don't even scratch the surface of the dumb ones. If I can find this guys myspace that does cheap tattoos I'll post some pics.

"Only after we've lost everything are we free to do anything"/"Losing all hope is freedom"

Is a sick one ahha, but yeah I wouldn't mind a lyric or a quote if it was something I truely believed in and loved.

I agree with this to an extent. I think it's a bad idea to get a quote such as that on you simply because you like the song/movie.

However, if the tattoo actually has a specific meaning relating to you, it works. I, for example, am heavily considering getting a Minor Threat tattoo. Not only because I like the band, but because the band actually stood for something and have values that I stand by everyday. I know that even if I eventually stop listening to them, their values would stick to me for a good part, if not, the entirety of my life.

[Iskatehard]

Yeah, I feel similar about the things that I mentioned in OP.

I mean yeah, it does feel somewhat odd to consider getting something I heard in a movie or song.. And I see how it could be inferred as "Hey, I like this movie!", and that can change overtime no doubt. But with some of the stuff I mentioned.. While the movies/songs are indeed amazing.. It's also a representation of ideas that make more sense to me than most anything else.

But yeah, the originality could be questioned with them.. But I guess we could question the originality of damn near anything.

And Pain, that tattoo idea you mentioned sound pretty fuckin' nice.

[bubbleboy]

It's somewhat a philosophy I suppose

I just want "shine on" on one of my wrists, just in black, and a simple, nice kinda cursive looking font.

It means a lot, not only because how much I love the Floyd, but one, it's just kinda a positive thing to say/have, and two, when my friend died, that is what I wrote on a photo I had of him that sorta spread everywhere, and before I knew it, instead of RIP Hunter, it was Shine On, so, it's symbolic of that.

[V3]

I met a guy who is 26 at one of my buddies parties, who happens to be a tattoo artist. We actually briefly talked about heaven and hell and god and such.

I saw him again later that week, cause my gal-friend wanted her belly pierced. He said, I took into consideration of our conversation and drew up a small something.

Its 3 questions marks, ranging in size and shape, with a depiction of heaven on one side, and hell on the other. Above it, it says "Question Life"

Its sick, ill try and get pictures next party.

[Fudopi]

If I did this, which is actually a real possibility, I'd probably get one of those fight club quotes you posted (I would've if you didn't lol, probably my favorite movie of all time).

Then again, another quote I really like is this bob dylan one (it's a poster on my wall) "All I can do is be me, whoever that is"

but then again I could get hundreds of cool sounding quotes and say that about all of em.

[king]

If I could design my own layout/theme and shit for something like this, I'd get it.

[dutch madman]

I actually pondered over a tattoo, and came up with something i really like.

I want a portrait of Atlas, the God who carries the Heavens on his shoulders, on my stomach, but instead of the Heavens, i want him to carry a heart on his shoulders, and in that heart, you can see two faint silhouettes. And i want Deus Ex Machina on my lower arm.

You see, for me, this idea has a lot of meaning. I've been apathic for nearly 8 years, because of the following:

When i was 10, my grandpa had a stroke, he survived, but it had such a huge impact on me, because it hit me right in the face this shit could happen to anyone.

From that point on, i was actually really helpfull because of that trauma(yes, trauma). I carried on with life, let's skip ahead to age 15, i knew these girls, awesome girls and all, who both called me in the middle of the night saying they took an overdose (they didn't know each other, and there was a 4 month gap). Both times, i freaked out, pretty much risking my life to get there, because they live 16 kilometers away, and it's a fucking dangerous road at night, because there are no lights exept your own. I've called the ambulance both times, so when i got there, it turned out they lied. This crushed my faith in humanity as a whole, and ever since that day, i just stopped caring about people.

Yesterday, it was exactly 5 years ago, my great-grandmother passed away. She was found by my grandmother (i live next to my grandparents, and my great-grandmother used to live next to us too). When my grandmother found her, she was sitting in her favourite chair, covered in puke, not able to do anything but gargle in her own puke, trying to breathe, she was reading a book, which had fallen on the floor. Now, this is exactly what fucked me up, i have strong visual imagination, and when my grandmother told me the story, the image that popped up was so realistic, it beats every shock site in terms of shock. This is when i truely didn't give a fuck about anything, and i went alcoholic for nearly two years. In her honour, i am planning to get a tattoo of a symbol she has on her grave, which means ''God be with us''. I'm agnostic myself, but i also believe religion is for Chosen ones, and she was one of them to me.

The Deus Ex Machina stands for me and my ex-girlfriend breaking up, that hit me so hard, i realized i completely lost perspective of reality, emotions, and boundaries. At first, i couldn't tell what my problem was, because i tried to erase previous trauma's, instead of closure. When we broke up, i've changed a lot. I'm having fun, appreciate every little detail, and i actually show some emotion now. We got back together a few weeks after that, but it didn't work out anymore, we realized we had given each other all we had to give, we went from friends to lovers, to best friends, and i like it this way. In her honour, as a way of saying thank you, i will place the Deus Ex Machina, because she was my random person to a solution, but it took a while before she showed her true value.

As for Atlas, i think you might know why i choose him. I feel as if the weight of the Heavens is lifted off my shoulders, these are my burdens, they are what shaped me, and they will always stick to me. They were the most important things i have been trough in life, and i have always repressed the memories, which put me under huge pressure, when every day would be exactly the same, and it was heavy to go on, but i still did, just like Atlas. But in contradiction to Atlas, i stopped being stone cold, haha.

Both of those are fucked. Really sounds like some intense shit.

[i cheat at golf]

I've been thinking about one lately, it's like a human head, but then on top of the skull there's all this stuff coming out, and in that shit I'd put some things that mean something to me (I don't know what yet, I'd have a quote, maybe "I think therefore I am", because the first time I truely understood that it honestly blew my mind)

this is the basic idea of it, but obviously I'd get my own, tailor made design
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/i_cheat_at_golf/F3BDAA_fullsize.jpg

I think it would be a good pictorial depiction of how I feel about understanding life/the universe/everything..

Because I believe that everyone is one with everything, and that our brains are incapable of understanding the workings of this world.. Sometimes I feel the only way to percieve everything properly would just be to have my consciousness ripped open and experience everything there is to be experienced..

It's hard to explain I guess, but I don't think I'd get it any time soon because I wouldn't want to look like a majorly pretentious cunt to someone who asked my abotu it, then not be able to back it up properly with knowledge..


So more learning, then a tattoo

[!ndie $kater]

http://i40.tinypic.com/e8joki.jpg

Most definitely getting this Mars Volta symbol tattoo

Cedric Bixler-Zavala and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez both have been the biggest influences in my life. They stand for progressing and evolving, and strive do so

ATDI/TMV forever

[Iskatehard]

So I finally have my mind set. I know 100% what I am going to get, and I can't fucking wait..

I'ma go ahead and get the "Only after we have lost everything are we truly free to do anything" (might be a word off from actual quote. I'll correct it when I actually get it)

It's something I can look at and find completely true. So inspiring in so many ways to me personally. And it makes me understand in ways I should really appreciate all things equally. The ugly is as good as the beautiful. The sad events in our life are just as important as the good. You have to have to balance, so embrace it.

And it's something that can "teach" people. They'll see it and they might go "Fuck.. I never really thought about it like that"

It's not always building, it's also about destroying. It's not always about looking as hard as you can and observing the details.. But rather you might want to simply step back and look at it as a whole...

Yeah.. I'm gonna get it.

[salvemaster]

Nice. Reminds me of fight club sorta. The whole concept of 'ground zero', reaching the point where we have nothing so that we can observe everything.

Although i guess in FC it was more about breaking the bonds between man and his dependency/inclination towards societal structure.

If i were to get one, which i prolly will one day, it'd say; "the most profound things are inexpressible."

Idk, i really like it. It sorta reminds me that artistic expression can only go so far. I guess some shit isn't meant to be drawn or written or sung, maybe just kept for yourself.

[Iskatehard]

Interesting idea. I never really considered that art might be limited in that sense..

And haha, that quote is actually FROM Fight Club

[Pancakes.]

I have my dad's initials on my left side, like on my oblique. Inside my left bicep i have "to all my friends" in cursive. Inside my right bicep i have a Malcolm X quote, "Stumbling is not falling". Im thinking of getting another Malcolm X quote, "Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it. " I think it would only fit on my back or my chest and i definitely dont want it on my chest. On my right forearm i have a quote that I believe is James Dean, it says "Only the gentle are ever really strong". And the last one isnt philosophical, but it says "AGC" inside my left wrist, its my old graf crew, that was my first one.

[erickoston=beast]

"whats the first rule of Fight Club?"

[salvemaster]

Interesting idea. I never really considered that art might be limited in that sense..

And haha, that quote is actually FROM Fight Club


Wait, is it really? I forgot where i heard it, i thought it was an old artist's expression. Fuck, i didn't know that.

^ First rule of fight club is you don't talk about fight club.

[Skateselect]

^im disappointed in you

[I EAT BABIES]

I have a tattoo planned. A snowflake that is on fire. I pick that because it doesnt make sense, I like fire, and I like snow. Which is my view on life. It doesn't make sense. But I like things in it and try to enjoy it.

[stinkingfish]

How come we only ask ourselves the really big questions when something bad happens?

How come people are self destructive?

2 dead, one locked up for life, 2 more with families and different lives and the rest either dont write, have moved away, or just joined other crews, but its mostly done. we've still got rollers and shit riding around the city, some of them over 10 years old even. Graf life doesnt last forever, and if it does, forever is usually a short time.

Damn, that's a pretty interesting statement. Found myself rereading it a few times, I have to say.

[drowning_fish]

The first thing I thought of was Socrates sucking his own dick. I'll draw that someday and paint it. Maybe within a month. I'll post it here.

Or 'stop making sense' - the talking heads movie? Which is really, I think, a quote from a song they did. I need to get that someday (the movie I mean)

But hell, I'd regret any tattoo I'd get just cause I change my mind so often. I'd hate whatever I got the very next day.

Oh yeah in like 8th grade I had a vision of having 'broomstick' across my back. I don't know why, I think I have cruddy self-esteem or something, I don't know.

Oh yeah also there's an ad at the top of my page for Kierkegaard, haha. Just funny.

[Pancakes.]

So no regrets on that tat?

Hell nah, its not about where the crew is at now, its about where we were when we all got it. That's a massive part of my life right there, even if it werent part of my body there's no way i could ever forget about how amazing it was. Love all those guys, no matter what.

i have that tattoo wrapping around my ankle

and i have Live the life to live wrapping around my forearm, the the first word is also the last word, it just goes on and on forever

inspired by the good and bad thread I would get a yin yang symbol. The yin good, and the yang bad, you need both equally in order to maintain a balance.

[salvemaster]

inspired by the good and bad thread I would get a yin yang symbol. The yin good, and the yang bad, you need both equally in order to maintain a balance.

Good idea, i might actually do that. Sorta like, when you feel like your life is real shitty, you can look at it and remember that things are gonna get equally good. And if not, you're gonna have one damn good after life.

[Iskatehard]

inspired by the good and bad thread I would get a yin yang symbol. The yin good, and the yang bad, you need both equally in order to maintain a balance.

I love that theory so much.. And I really like the yin yan and what it stands for..

But it's such a cliched symbol nowadays, and I doubt if I got it tatted anybody would look at it and consider the idea behind it..

[Pancakes.]

Fucking right man, it's about the times and memories you wouldn't swap for the world. I get what your saying for sure.

exactly. to me, that tat doesnt conjure up thoughts of now, i mean, it does in a way always remind me of my dead homies and the ones that just didnt draw the best lot in life, but what i really go back to in my head is being 13, 15, 16, 18 years old running around in the middle of the night, having the whole city practically to ourselves, just really having the best fuckin times, and i dont think i could even in a quadrillion fuckin years, ever regret that shit.

ps, burrut, didnt you have a like a chargers tattoo?

[salvemaster]

I love that theory so much.. And I really like the yin yan and what it stands for..

But it's such a cliched symbol nowadays, and I doubt if I got it tatted anybody would look at it and consider the idea behind it..

I know what you mean, especially about the cliche part. There was this really good John Lennon quote i heard once along those lines.

He said, 'if someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the 60s, that's his problem, love and peace are eternal.'

That's what this reminds me of; it's cliche because it's been around since fucking ancient china, but fuck it, that shit's forever yaknow?

The idea that good and evil are ever-prevalent in the balance of life is not a temporary truth, yaknow? And if you want to dismiss it as a cliche theory, then that's your problem cause things like yin and yang are gonna be around alot longer than you (not you personally, haha).

[pain.]

ehhhh i think getting song/movie quotes is not really a great idea.
i mean yeah its meaningful and all that but you know how it goes when sometimes you loose interest and things. and having something youve grown out of stuck on you can kinda suck

but ive got a few tats lined up soon
pretty soon after a fat pay check im going to get my chest piece i wanna get drawn up and priced
its gonna be a cardinal on the right with my granpas initials under the wing. he was a huge cardinals baseball fan. and on the other side its going to be a canary with my grammys initials cause she loved tweety bird from looney toons and all that. then the birds are gonna have a banner in their beaks and its gonna say "just live"
its philosiphy i guess, its how i look at life. no matter how shitty things can be going, it could always be worse no matter what, and you just gotta chin up and make it though


i also wanna get my dog we had to put down tatted on my right thigh, and maybe an stl cardinals logo on the back of my right arm. ive got quite a few ideas that im really really sure of.
im getting this done friday, SO FUCKING STOKED.

yes, it was the first tattoo i ever got, and is till have it

[Iskatehard]

yes, it was the first tattoo i ever got, and is till have it

Haha, for some reason.. The whole "I still have it" bit sort of made me laugh.

[Iskatehard]

Hm...

I think I'm gonna get the "I'll believe in anything, and you'll believe in anything".. Or the "Nobody knows you, and nobody gives a damn"

[Ramen]

I don't know why, but I've always had a few mantras that I'd live by, some that are typical, some that aren't. When it comes to tattoos though, the first I'd ever really consider is a roll of 35mm film wrapping around one of my arms. If I did have to have a saying, I'd get "This is just a beginning" as a chest piece. Vague, but that allows it to be interpreted in so many ways, and I enjoy that.

[t pudz has arm steez]

if i were to get tattoos the only ideas i have in mind are:

a stitched up scar running down the side of my stomach would look pretty cool but probably really cliche

trace the veins and skeletal structure on my left ring finger.

the justice allegory thing with the woman holding the scale put somewhere on my bicep or something. ever since i saw the album cover for and justice for all ive been attracted to that symbol and thought it was the coolest thing ever
