I had a tattoo done on each forearm when I was 15 and then never had another one until some 25 years later. I had to wait for a couple of hours while my car was having an alarm fitted, took a walk and found myself outside of a tattoo parlour, got the urge and had another 3 on my legs and back. I still cannot think of the reason why I wanted more. strange.

Bratwurst Boy: I'm thinking to get one of these: http://www.sunnyway.com/runes/warrior.html http://www.sunnyway.com/runes/tattoos.html As it says on the pages, try them out temporarily first. Do you have any other tattoos? I guess those tattoos represent Celtic or possibly American-Indian (Native American) tribes? Are you polish?

Nope...and I'm only playing with the idea...

These are runes...I didn't know the native Americans use them too? (I've heard of some interaction with the Vikings of course)

Don't quote me, im not 100% sure. But I studied the American West and they look similar to those that were used by the Indians at that time, during rituals etc.
Though you're probably right, certainly more Viking etc...

I'm thinkinh of getting a tattoo, but as I was saying before, I think people do get them for the wrong reasons, and i know too many people who have done that in the past becasue they thought it would 'look pretty'.
Though I think with something like runes you get them for a meaning right? theyre a good conversation starter too, for people who are either interested in them, or who don't know what they are...

clerynka: Though I think with something like runes you get them for a meaning right? It would be a visible connection to my beliefs, to my heritage, to my ancestors...surely not because they look "pretty", as they barely do. ;)

Bratwurst Boy: It would be a visible connection to my beliefs, to my heritage, to my ancestors Then people should respect that. Thats a cool thing to do, especially for those (like myself) who treat their heritage as something to be valued and respected. Where are you from?

clerynka: Where are you from? Germany... (couldn't you guess? points to helmet, points to runes) :)

Bratwurst Boy: Germany... (couldn't you guess? points to helmet, points to runes) ah yes, but you could have been scottish for all i know. Celts and Vikings very prevalent there also. though I guess with a name Bratwurst Boy you couldnt be of scottish descent ;) haha.

Actually...no?? I wasnt thinking that?? You see what I did was ask what we normal people call a "question" where other, normal people, would then answer my "question" by giving me facts that would then help me gain knowledge on the subject that I was confused about, which is why i asked this so called "question" in the first place. See, pretty simple huh? No hidden messages or codes to figure out. :)

Tattoos are associated with seasoned criminals and other pathological entities
