I'm thinking of getting this tatt, same as Duggro's.

Do the symbols mean anything? I've attached a meaning to 'em, but I was wondering if it was already known.

    In fact thinking about it, I've been asked to bring to the tattooist a better image than the photo of Duggro's arm. :D

    Anyone have it?

    Not a problem, the lines could do with being a bit sharper but that shouldn't be too difficult to sort out.

    unless you're joking.. (which I hope you are!) I think this conversation/comment should be saved for PMs.

    Where are you having it done, harmless? I mean are you having it on your arm as well? :o Please tell me it's being done on your arm.

    I haven't been following your tattoo threads, sorry.

    He's pretty cool, he looks out for us Brits on the board. I'd take what he says lightly.

    Anyway, tattoo...

    yeah cos you're a barrel of laughs... it was you who started the thread "death" in which you wanted to die... hardly fucking prime time entertainment.

    i only come on here for a laugh.. its cool you dont get it.. i dont care... your life sounds sad and if you get something out of being a myopic miserabilist then so be it... i enjoy laughing and fun things.

    see you around :cool:
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    is it just me or you're starting to sound really (rather than jokily) mean and aggressive?

    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    yah, check out the links that Pegasus posted:

    "The fifth element is the basis for both sound and hearing."


    traditionally, in wicca, the 5th element is typically spirit though... i think :o
