Is there an unspoken rule about copying someone elses ink? I really like this tattoo, and for those that know me, know I don’t have ink and I’m not a huge fan of it, but I really like this one. I guess secretly I have wanted one, but I want it to mean something to me. Sorry, back to question at hand, is it OK? I saw this tattoo on Stuff Christians Like Blog (which by the way is to funny), and thought that would be a tattoo I would like.
I would have a pick Jason’s tattoo contest but I know that my brutha from anutha mutha Matt would pick something like a cute fluffy bunny holding a chipping hammer in one hand and welding leads in the other with a flaming skull design on the welding helmet, and that would win. So naw, I ain’t gonna do that. Seriously, those inked up heathens that I love so much weigh in and let me know if it is taboo to use someone elses ink.
This is your wife saying NOT TO TAT!!!!
Come on Eli – - let him do it!!!
This is your conscience saying GET A TAT!!!!
If he gets one I do too…when we got married he said that he would
never get one.
Rat-a-tat-tat.
E.A.R.L. Put it on your shoulder. Right, Eli? Now I’m laughing too hard to go on.
It’s OK to use another person’s design. People do it all the time. I half borrowed my angel baby online. The child with head on knees part is borrowed. The wings and words are not borrowed. You should find several fonts you like, take them to a tattoo artist, show him/her, discuss your thoughts, and see what you two can come up with. You might end up with a totally original “Yes, Lord” that started out as a borrowed idea. Go for it, as long as you won’t make your wife mad. You must not anger your woman.

J-lurve – I have also struggled with the need to Tat. My only advise is to make sure that you get it in a place where it will still read “yes lord” 20 years from now…. I have been flirting with the idea of tatting something. Just don’t know what or where. I have got a great joke about tatting words. I will summarize: guy wants to impress his girlfriend so he gets her name tatted on his ?#&$(@. Her name is WENDY. He goes to Montego Bay and is in the bathroom next to a native. He looks and noticed he also has WENDY on his /#&$(@. He says hey your girlfriend is named Wendy too, Naw, my says Welcome to Jamacia, Have a Nice Day!!!!!
Love you in the platonic sense, but don’t piss off the wife. She is the only thing more permanent that a TAT!!!
