TOS Star Trek Tattoo!!!

I have three Star Trek themed tattoos and will probbly be getting a fourth soon. :bolian:

I don't have any pictures to post though, should I get some?
 
I have been obsess with the Star Trek Universe since I was ten years old. I'm hook for life and beyond. It has been almost thirty -five since I first saw my first Star Trek episode. Hell, when I die and if I can afford it. I want to be bury in a TOS Starfleet Command uniform and place inside a Photon Torpedo tube. Just like Mr. Spock in Star Trek II and my tattoos are coming with me. I'm obsess with three things. They are Star Trek, women, and Camaros. I hope I'm still normal. HA! HA!
 
No tattoos on the neck. I'm in college right now and I don't think having visible tattoos would go over well in a office or business atmosphere. There are still a lot people out in the world, whom considered tattoos, taboo. Even though I do want to get my arms fully tattoos. My future step is too have portraits of all five Star Trek captains running down the side of my upper right leg. The portraits would be the size of a hand palm.

TNG is a great sequel to TOS and I do love the show. I was born in the sixties and grew up in the seventies watching TOS. To me, Kirk and James Bond have always been the perfect heroes for me. These two men were no pussies in their day. They were men of action, ask questions later, and always got the girl. I wish we had better role models today, that represents the ideas and philosophy of Kirk and Bond. I do love TNG, but ever time you turn around, Picard would rather have a discussion about a problem instead of firing phasers first. I guess the sixties and eighties can not be compared to today standards.

How about getting a tattoo of one of that neural parasites from Deneva? They would swell nicely on your biceps. :guffaw:

No really, just kiddin', do get some pictures! I'm thinking about getting a (miniscule :shifty:) TOS tattoo myself. I'll be in Las Vegas for the Convention in August. Does anyone know a good tattoo artist there? Thanks.
 
Well, it's your body, and I wish you all the best. If you like it tattooed, so much the better.

But you do realize non-(hardcore)Trekkies can interpret such a thing as being severely obsessed, right? It can look a little bit disturbing...

My tattoos are for my enjoyment and they make me very happy. I have no regrets. I'm not concern with other peoples' happiness, besides my own. Life is way too short to worry about how other people perceive me, how I look, or how I feel about things.

I'm thinking of going with a Wolf tattoo on my right bicep with a House of Mogh or House of Martok badge on the back side of my right bicep. I'm looking for a high definition image of The Companion and the alien life force from the TOS episode "And the Children shall Lead."

I'm thinking of going with the House of Maraok badge on the back side of my upper right arm and near my Klingon insignia.

You are completely right in that.
 
As a man with multiple tattoo's and plans to have a Trek-themed tattoo one day I wish you good luck! :techman:

Meeeee tooooo. I'm definitely getting some sort of TOS tat...I'm just not sure what or where. I'm having a very hard time deciding.

Well, it's your body, and I wish you all the best. If you like it tattooed, so much the better.

People get these huge tattoos all the time. It's really not such a taboo anymore, it's really quite mainstream now-a-days. I'd much rather see a huge Trek tat then a huge Jesus on the cross tat...I find that much more disturbing so....to each his own !

Yes...yes you should. As a matter of fact anybody with a Trek tat should post a photo...I'd love to see them.

To the OP I'd go with one of the purple backrounds....they look nice and that's what you want it to be a backround not the main focus....so nothing to busy or too flashy.
 
I could dig a small Starfleet or Klingon symbol, something like that, but some of those are just way too much, no matter how much you love Star Trek.
 
^^^ Well as long as you're not hurting anybody I say go for it! Besides it's a little too late for the OP to turn "back"...at this point LOL.
 
Hmm. If you really really like the images, get it done. :)
I personally would never get things like faces, ships etc. on myself, but I'm rather petite anyways so it'd look silly. I'm planning a small TOS command badge to be my Trek tattoo.

@orac: Totally get some pictures! We'd love to see.
 
Of course, if you want to be literal with Trek tats, get a TNG combadge on your left chest just above the nipple and get some rank pips on your neck.
