You know, if you were to take that photo to a tattoo artist, they can actually replicate it in drawing to get you the tattoo you want. Even resize it.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that. Anyway, I have too great a fear of commitment for a tattoo. Plus I'm 17, and I don't think I want to make that kind of decision this early.

Frankly, a wise position to hold. It is true, getting a tattoo is indeed a commitment because of how permanent they are (not that you can't remove them with laser, you can, but I hear that's painful). It's best that if you're to get one you of age, first and foremost, and that you're sure sure sure sure that that's what you want to get.

Don't really want a tattoo, but don't mind people who have them.

I don't have tattoos and don't plan on getting any, since I like my body as is. I'm not usually a huge fan of them on other people as well, but I'm sure I could make exceptions if something was truly nice looking. But more often then not, I kind of just see them from a more practical perspective as distracting. :p

Edit: To clarify, I'm not going to kick up a fuss if someone has tattoos, that's their own business. I meant what I said from a purely aesthetic standpoint.

Not to worry, Celtic tattoos differ from Tribal ones.

Yeah exactly. If I ever got one, I want it to be still cool when I'm an old man. That's also kind of why I want it to have a meaning, so when someone asks me about it when I'm older, I have something other to say then "I liked how it looked" (not that there's anything wrong with that). What do you think of ancient Ogham as a tattoo?

Some of it, when done properly, looks good. Like this one. If the artist can't manage, however, the Ogham ends up looking like chicken wire. :/

Yeah. I would consider ogham for myself since I'm not Irish, and only know a few words in Irish, but I think it's really cool looking as a language.

I'd actually be weary of a foreign language tattoo unless you're extremely sure about the translation, because you wouldn't want a grammatical error on your chest.

Oh, absolutely. I seem to recall that there are Ogham translators online so you can always check, if and when you get one, that the marks are correct.

I'm actually thinking of doing a favorite literary quote of mine in russian, but I agree, it's best to know for certain what something says before you do it.
