Tattoo = Bad JuJu?

OK so I have been kicking around the idea of getting a tattoo that is representative of my old lady.

Some people say this is bad JuJu. What do you think?

I don't see a problem with it for a couple of reasons; 1) I don't think we are gonna split if we were it would have already have happened 2) even if we do split ways it does not matter she will always be a par of my life or least my memories. Unless she runs around on me I do not see why I would regret it. I have known her for 9 years we have been together for 5.

I guess it is a cultural thing. It is a biker thing. I guess not every one understand. A bikers old lady understands ;)

I am not a biker, I do own a bike, per se but that is who I associate with.

Its is bad Juju. My cousin has a tattoo on his wrist saying his wife's name. And now, he is trying to save up money to file for divorce.

IMHO, its the worse idea. Just my opinion though.

I personally wouldn't do it but I've seen many done at the 2 shops I've worked at.

If you don't think you're going to regret it then go for it!

You only live once, do what YOU want to do, plus there is always laser removal should you need it. :rolleyes:

Or you could burn it off with some acid :)

If you have a strong relationship and want to then go ahead. It's your life and your body and in the end its a choice that affects you. No one else opinion matters because it is something you have to decide.

I have my wife's name tattooed on my arm in a heart and I don't regret it. I don't think that they were doing photo tattoos back then. But today with the me generation values I would say that there is a greater chance that a marriage will end in divorce than to succeed in the long run.

Maybe symbolism of something but like a portrait or name is a bad idea, the way I see it the only names you should ever get on your body are your parents or your children. (None of those yet for me but I do have a decent amount of ink. 1/2 Sleeve, 1/4 sleeve and another small piece in the last year.)

However, you said you've been kicking it around for a long time so if you think it's a surefire thing... then I guess go for it.

But on the other hand the fact that you had to ask instead of just posting us a picture of said finished work makes me wonder.

Either way keep us updated brotha.

I'd do it. I've had my dogs name on my fore arm for awhile now and we still love each other ,besides if you find a good artist they are super easy to cover up with something else.
