Tribal half arm sleeve... Gay or Not?

It is in my plans to get one started this weekend.
Something like this...

Thoughts?

Discuss.

That’s a lame design, but honestly it all comes down to what you want, not anyone else. If you really want it then get it.

Just make sure to get an integral design that means something to you or you'll regret it for the rest of your life. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

The tattoos I've gotten are just because I thought they looked cool. I got a tribal dragon on my calf, the Hypnotize Minds grim reaper logo on my right arm, and a palm sized tribal on my left arm.

That is from a cartoon actually (the potatoe) so it has been done //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I think tribal tattoo's in general are played out and you're tattoo won't say anything special about you, nor will it make you unique or cool. I'm not being mean but everytime i see tribal shit that's just randomly thrown on with no thought i instantly label the person a douchebag. But then again, to each his own, I personally would get a really cool symbol and throw it somewhere interesting, like I've been thinking about getting the symbol the cult used in the movie the reaping, it means nothing to me but looks badass in tattoo form and i bet no one has it cuz that was possibly the worst movie I've ever seen, but the symbol looked almost like an ankh just with a sickle blade at the top instead of a full curve. But then again I'm sure plenty of ya'll would call me a douchebag for it

If you have to ask, you're not ready for that design.

I spent about a year contemplating and doing different sketches of my design, and don't regret it one bit.

Eh, I think tribal tattoos, crosses, Japanese writing, and praying hands are all gay simply because they're so incredibly played out.

But as mentioned before, if you have to ask about a tattoo you're getting, you really shouldn't get it.

By the way, I got all of mine in places you can't see them unless I want to show them. I made sure I didn't look like some worthless thug walking down the street.

In one of those "Wayside School" books by Louis Sachar, one of the kids got a tattoo of a potatoe.

This IS remembering it from elementary school, but I'm 95% positive I remember correctly.

this man speaks wisdom

My tattoo is tribal, but tribal wings. The wings have a meaning to me personally.

So, its not really the tribal thats gay, its the tribal tattoo with no meaning thats gay.

Do some thinking if you want a 1/4 sleeve tribal, and get creative with it so it means something personally to you.

unless your from a tribe that uses tribals, its played out, and meaningless. why tattoo something on your body forever that has zero meaning except it looks cool, and it part of someone elses culture.

I think it looks pretty cool, but is played out. I have two tribals I have on my forearms that really need something added to it. You are also on a caraudio forum where a lot of people may not like tattoo's, which I have seen time in and time out on here.

Me, I am more into thought as my arm tattoo has my soon to be wifes name on there, lawlers!

I do have a RIP tattoo on my back dedicated to my unck. And will be doing something else with my leg's. They are addicting, I will say that.

oh well its not like its this mainstream phenomenon like what pl8 was making it sound. i personally have never heard of it, nor met anyone with a potato tattooed on them. so its pretty original.
