Make sure the needle is nice and dirty

Gotta go with the fact based on your favorite horror movie since you would straight up have a connection with it. All 3 concepts are the same so I don't see how you can't go with your favorite horror flick. What have you got in mind?

I don't know, I think Butterflies and kittens would be a nice calming touch next to the other ones. But that is just me.

What tats have you got already and where is the new tat going to go?

All 3 choices are horror film-themed Not much diversity in choices

Never understood why anyone feels the need to desecrate their body. Never will.

Why is it? Low self-esteem? Think it looks good? Attention deprived? Do you look at it as permanent jewelry or clothes? I honestly don't know. Help me out here.

Have you ever felt something that you've enjoyed? Have you ever invested into something that made you smile and simply purchase something that you just had to have because you and only you had to have it? The answer to your question is pretty straight forward as to why people get tattoos. Because they enjoy it and the art of personality it could portray. "TO EACH THEIR OWN."

I have tattoo's myself and I have great self esteem and is certainly not attention deprived. I got tattoo's because I look to the art as something that I seriously invest in and just plain 'ol enjoy the personality that reeks from person to person to be comfortable enough to do such a thing, which isn't really a big deal when it comes down to it nor does it need any explanation. Tattoo's held a stigma as to being "different" and what not to society. That now has changed. Look around. The percentage of people with tattoo's are certainly at an all time high. If you want to be different, DON'T GET A TATTOO.

The Wombat - what else!

The tat's supposed to have a horror movie theme. Unless there is a movie called Attack Of The Killer Wombats, or maybe if the wombat was wearing a hocky mask and carrying a chainsaw that had steel blades instead of claws... It just might work!

You are right...to each their own. I really don't care...just don't get it.

Tattoo hair and freckles on your ass dude!

I'd say give us the art work to choose from, not the idea. The ultimate test is in the execution, after all.

Not really back, as you can see. Still very little time.
As for your vote, thanks...when you made it you created a 3-way tie at the time! lol!!

Sadly that is the hardest answer. I am not sure what my Favorite Horror movie is. I am a fan of the genre and watch tons of flicks. Not sure I stick with one in specific.

Phantasm is the best horror movie ever made...

I have 8 other tats, all pretty small. But they are all in different locations actually making placement difficult. I have 2 tribal tats on the backs of my calves, a yin-yang on my left ankle, a sun on my right ankle. I have 2 hearts surrounded by the infinity symbol on my left leg for my wife (love forever, colored with stars and stripes for our anniversary July 4th), a scarab on my left arm and a tri-ryche on my right shoulder. Finally a Marvin the Martian on my right shoulderblade.

All easy to conceal if necessary.

I am thinking this on my go on my chest as I already have plans for my left shoulderblade and my right thigh. I also have an idea for one between my shoulderblades.

I haven't had any ink in over 5 years and I still don't know if I can start up again. It is an expense that's hard to justify. But I got my daughter a killer tat a couple weeks ago and that re-ignited my desire to get more work done.

I love horror movies and have no work related to the genre. But there is SO much to choose from.

Really, it is simply another form of self-expression. I love the artwork. And the act of getting a tattoo releases endorphins that feel pretty good as well.

After you. Your Melrock Records logo would look pretty cool!

Well, the idea is what I needed help with. I found killer artwork that would likely cover all choices. But it was picking which way to go that I need help on. Honestly, I would probably like to do two anyway.

But I don't know what my favorite film is, and that seems to be the most obvious choice. That makes it difficult.
