So I'm thinking about getting some tattoos
Getting the mentioned tattoos Yay or Nay?

My friend got the full metal tattoo on his arm I thought it was kind of fanboy-ish but, at least he didn't get a stupid tribal band like every other guy on the planet (like his dad).
The wrath one has a huge back story. I'll try and shorten it
The original idea was the Word Wrath across my upper back with two vertical rows of the other six sins going down in order I believed they represented me (Wrath, Pride, Lust, Sloth, Envy, Greed, Gluttony in that order). Over time I shortened the idea to just Wrath since I feel it really represents the old me. It was a reminder for me I guess of what I used to be and that having a permanent reminder would help me remember to not back track on my progress I've made to better myself.
In short I guess it would be a reminder of the old me and why I'm working towards bettering myself so I don't hurt the people around me like I did before.
Yeah, I probably didn't even sound anything like I wanted but, oh well.

Chinese/Japanese characters are the most pretentious thing someone can have tattooed on them. If you told someone you were getting the words "Long Life" grafted to your body with an irremovable medium I'm sure they'd smack you in the face. The only difference is that with Asian characters is that they have to ask you what it means before smacking you. You might as well just get barbed wire around your bicep or your girlfriend's name on your chest, those are both timeless classics that are seldom regretted.

I want to get an English lion on my chest or shoulder but my heritage is something I will always identify with. Down the line I can reasonably expect that I will stop watching anime. I expect I will always play video games to at least some degree but I would never consider getting a Donkey Kong tattoo or anything. No matter how much I or someone else likes something at some point in their lives if it's fashionable or style related then getting a tattoo of it is a bad idea.
