How big is your ankle? Will 'Five Dorra Sucky Sucky' wrap around?
You can always get
"If you can read this you're probably Japanese" in Japanese characters.

I've been contemplating on what to get on my foot too. I think I've decided on a spiral loop vine sort of thing. Are you sure you want text or are you looking for any suggestions?

actually any suggestion goes :happysad: but I've decided that I want something there and it's not around the ankle it's around the foot..like across the akilles heel and just before the toes :happysad:
and it's propably going to be in brown, so it's a bit sneeky sneeky :)
but maybe something like this,but a bit that feels more like me that just clicks,
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. ( I really like this one though)
or this one:
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
ooor..this one..
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

Just a way to try a design and see if you like it first.

that's a quite funny idea :happysad:

to clishee :O
another thought is to have a binary(sp?) code of some sort, and never tell people what it says :D
It's got to be special to you. You're going to be buried with it, so don't take some internet asshole's suggestion.

Get "[HOSTILE] owns my cute little ass" in your own little language. Maybe even in like, runes or somthing.
Nah, you should look at different possibilities.

someone get a tattoo of your girlfreind/wifes face on your ass positioned so that your butthole is her mouth. Show it to her during sex, too.

That's not even humorous just stupid.
Try not to get anything in a different language unless you're absolutely positive of what it says. I hate those fucking people who don't research their kanji or anything. Where it's like, "Oh it says beautiful goddess." But in truth it really says something like, "Tub Girl Expose".
Write a list of all the things you love and quotes. Also your favorite kinds of fonts.
Once you narrow it down, think of wrapping a certain image or symbol or chain of pictures around your lettering.
I am getting a sakura(cherry blossom) tree or vine wrapped around JUDE09 somewhere.

ah yes, I've heard so much "horror" stories about that so if i get in a foreign language I'm going to doublecheck atleast 1000times before I'm certain :happysad:

lol third time's the charm: it's "cliche." I was just wondering, how much foot is being covered here? Both your phrases were longer than I would expect to be able to fit--and ink on the Achilles Heel is going to hurt like a bitch. Keep me updated, and good luck with whatever you decide

Ah, if I were to give any sort of advice, I'd go with... Get something that has meaning to you; something that reminds you of a good part of your life, or do it as something to help you get over a bad part of your life. A tattoo should be a symbol, in my opinion. You'll have it on you for forever. :]
I, personally, am going to get names and dates of those close to my heart who have passed. Other than that, a little tiny Opeth "O" (google images!) right behind my right ear, because that band helped me through some pretty tough times.
Anyway. :P

If you're going to get a tattoo it should be something that YOU want, not suggestions from other people.

I only have two :sad: but I designed them both. One turned out to be the most bizarre story of my life but my point is when you finally decide on what you want, design it yourself or have it designed per your instructions so that whatever it is, it has your thoughts applied to it thus making it unique and special to you.
Personally, when it comes to 2-D artwork, especially tattoos, I like designs that play with 3-D elements. Things that intertwine or give the illusion of depth, layers, etc.
I have a lot of design experience and would be happy to help you. I'm sure you know people that can do the same but I just thought I would extend the offer. :)
BTW, I hope your migraines are gone.

Well, to be clear, it's not so much that I design tattoos specifically as I have merely designed quite a few (along with fonts, logos, jewelry, furniture, etc.) for people that like my artistic/design style.
What I really mean is, since you have now broken my long-standing procrastination record (thank you, btw) for not scanning my work into the computer, I will have to get back to you with some actual design samples.
In the meantime, here are a few things I had handy. These are more doodles and sketches (and are actually very old) but they can kind of give you an idea of how I do things. Again, it's not like this stuff is in my portfolio or anything but since I offered and you requested, I wanted to at least show you something.
There are also a couple things here (http://forums.wtf.com/showthread.php?t=58328&page=7) (towards the bottom of the page) but those are not so graphic by design.

Holy transformations, Batgirl. I'm assuming, based on the site, that the current pic on the homepage (Norman Pan) is not PhotoShop-ed. That's WILD. Cool site.

No, nothing on there is photoshopped. It's all the information and pictures you could ever want/need to see about pretty much any body modification.

I have both feet tattooed and if this is going to be your first tat. let me warn you this is one of the most painful places to get inked. I have a backpiece,my ribcage, and feet. I were a size 10 shoe so I have big feet. I have full size on both. As far as suggestions tattoos are pretty personal. Your boyfriend's not going to be walking around with some lame tat. if you happen to part ways. Take your time, sketch out some ideas if you can, and flip through some art books.

Or, 'Jiraffe: Why the fuck did I just get this tattoo, man. That's the last time I listen to that fool.' In Mandarin Chinese.

Hmm.
I think I want "harder better" and "faster stronger" on the bottom of my feet now. I only run to that song for several months now, including a 10k.
Thanks for the tatoo idea. I wonder if that'll exclude me from OCS.
