Girls have said they look hot, whatever. I feel like a reject NBA player or a rock star.

So no man...save yourself, seriously you will regret it.

It's too late to turn back for as I already have tattoos. Lol @ the NBA, Rockstar comment.

I also thought the Zoolander tattoo was pretty gay. And thanks.

Subject matter is half the battle placement is the other, you need to consider where you want it, how big, the smaller you go the less detailed the tattoo can make it would it looking like crap. If you plan to get a lot of detail/hyper-realistic type you'll need to go atleast half sleeve if not full, or half back. Is this your first tattoo? If so you need to think about a few factors, your pain threshhold, your committment and your wallet.
Threshhold for pain is what I mean, tattoo's are permanent and they hurt, depending on the placement it can hurt even more, outer skin is tougher hurts less, inner skin is exposed less to sun and wear and tear hurts more.. so armpit area, wrist, inner elbows, inner thighs, etc hurts more then outer.
Commitment, a piece as detailed and as large a picture can take easily 8-9hrs+ worth of work, and depending on the artist and the day you run $100+ an hr, some will charge you for the conecpt work if your iffy on it so you can make sure ahead of time. If you want certain types of jobs there's areas to avoid.. but it's up to you in the end, something your willing to spend few hundred on or more for something permanent. I started my sleeve about a year ago, cost me $250 for the outline that took 6hrs, and then 3 color sessions of about 2hrs each, for $200 a piece, and I'm about half ton,.. getting more done in april on my bday... I got some ashley wood robots along with some fusion inspired animeish girl on my forarm... pics on my site check me out on
deviantART: where ART meets application! user blackmarkerstain.. I got pics on there of my sleeve and toys :P , but shop around.. go to shops check their books to see what style you like or who meets your criteria. if you got the $$ and are willing to travel there's amazing artists out there in the us, canada etc.. so if your planning a trip neways or want the best tattoo seek out the best artist... most don't have that luxury, but if I had the $$ I would definatley seek out the best of the best artists to do my work, they'd give me the best result and take the best care and have stories.. and to me that's what a good tattoo is, a story to pass on and a memory to have forever. so good luck with your decision, cheers.

Thank you!
