Answer
2 polar bears fighting in a snowstorm.....if you're White, that means you don't get a tattoo. If people ask you where's your tattoo, just point to your bare skin and say its 2 polar bears fighting in a snow storm

if you're Black, you'll have to say it's 2 panthers fighting in the night

too many people get tattoos and later regret they got them. It's best not to get a tattoo

What do you think a tree with no leaves symbolize?

11181920

I've been looking at tattoos of trees lately and I've noticed that nearly all of the trees I see have no leaves, just branches. What do you think it means? I was thinking of getting one myself but I wanted a tattoo that was meaningful. I want a tattoo that will represent myself, my pain, my struggles, my ups and downs, and my strength. A tree would be perfect, I'm just curious why trees with just branches? Nevertheless, it does look gorgeous..

Answer
I like trees w/o any leaves too. IDKY, just do. BUT- I was just watching a show I have never seen before on tv "NY Ink" a few days ago and this girl got a tree w/o any leaves. It was awesome! SHE told the artist it was because she was like in the "gypsy" years of her life, going here and there, wherever the wind blew (kind of like a sabbatical...) and that she got the tree so that as she "grew up" and put her life together, she would ADD a leaf here and there signifying a milestone, or an accomplishment, or a goal reached, or a dream come true or whatever. She said she thought it would be really interesting when she was old and gray to see how many leaves grew on it over the years. OR SOMETHING TO THAT POINT...

I like the idea very much even though I am not into getting tats anymore. I got one and threw around getting a ring before, but haven't and prolly won't.

I think you should get a leafless tree, and ADD leaves as you grow.

Where is it socially acceptable for guys to get tattoos?

I recently got a tattoo on the side of my right calf and I was wondering where it would be okay to get more? I'm already planning on getting more calf tattoos but I was wondering where else guys could get tattoos. Please list all possible places. Thanks!
If you're going to answer, please be serious about it. List places to get it, instead of places I shouldn't get it.

Answer
The reason we're listing places you shouldn't get it, is because they are far less numerous. Don't get one on your wrist without a sleeve to back it up. Don't get anything on your lower back, unless you already have a full back piece. Don't get one on your ankle, unless it blends with your calf, or leg piece. And DON'T get anything on your personal places, because the girls will laugh at them. The upper right or left shoulder is the place most guys start. I've seen just about everything. Take care.

Does a scrotum tattoo cause permanent damage to sperm production?

Jay S.

I lost a bet and have to have two girls names tattooed on either side of my balls. I have heard it doesn't hurt that much, however I was wondering if the tattoo causes long term damage to sperm production or damage to the testes themselves? Please list your sources (preferably a website, not wiki)

Answer
Don't take this the wrong way, but it is a little odd to ask for specific, (implicitly) highly verifiable information websites on such an unusual query, especially since it's due to losing a bet.

If you're looking for that, I wish you luck. I can't imagine anyone studying this. I can hypothesize, however.

Plenty of people in a time of war have suffered damage to their groin and been able to father children. A tattoo hardly counts as an injury; it's only slightly worse than a sunburn and arguably less. The tissue damage is confined to the epidermis & dermis, where'd you want it kept to minimize issues. The ink itself could possibly be a problem but is improbable; an allergy is the most likely, and still rare, possibility. You'd have to have a pretty extreme reaction in an already unlikely situation to have to worry.

You could also do bad aftercare, but I'm assuming it's the process you're curious about.

I suppose if you get a non-professional to do this, there are the usual concerns of cleanliness, but if you're planning that worries of testicular damage are rather out sync with other dangers.

For the record, I do know one professional who's done this. I was a little surprised since the person in question talked about other areas she wouldn't do. The artist spoke of no dangers, but without anyone to ask and query it's technically the opinion of just one person, albeit a professional.
