I've been thinking...
if I ever got a tatoo, what would it be?
I once saw a tatoo of a little phrase in a foreign language and it seemed cool to me. That made me think...what foreign phrase might I get as a tatoo?
Naturally, I thought of
viva la loma rica
but then I thought about what would happen when people asked what it meant. I don't remember, exactly. I think I read it here somewhere.
Does anyone know?
Other comments?

| when i saw him play solo back in 1990, mid-song he stopped playing to explain that part: (paraphrasing) "when I was growing up there was a gang in my neighborhood called V.L.L.R. which stood for "Viva La Loma Rica," which means "Long Live The Rich Hill" and I don't know what that means either but, anyway..." and then he continued into the rest of the song. i think in another interview he said the same thing, and how it sounded cool. the rest of the song seems to be about Latino gang culture in some way, so i'm sure somewhere in his mind it all fits in somehow, in his way |

If I were an investor, which I'm not, I'd invest in tattoo removal. Gonna be a growth micro-industry in about ten years. Too many young women with skankish, lower back, door-mat tattoos that might as well say "F me here". Like I say, tattoo removal. In the meantime, it's greenlight city, I guess, or not.
It's a measure of the paucity of reality to think that ink could add anything.

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo recently, but I wonder if it's a good idea to get one if you have no muscles. What do you think?

Given her paucity, I hope so. (But truth be told, I'm sorta glad the world can still puke up a Paris or two along its way. The day the world no longer gives us a Paris Hilton is more than a day after we should have started worrying about the state of humanity.)

The Podcast with Ben Sisario, author of Doolittle 33 1/3, explains more fully. The book is a great read and I heartily recommend it.

Being spanish, don't find the coolness anywhere on that phrase. I would go with something else.

I want to get a tattoo, but I'm chicken.
I have always wanted a colorful Peace sign with a butterfly perched on top of it.
I would like the Peace sign to be tie-dyed, but I am not sure if they can do that.
kfs- if you go, I will go too. You know for support and courage to get one myself.

Well, I don't know where I would want it. I think that the small of the back is overused. I have thought about putting it on my front hip or putting it on my neck, in the back under my hairline. I am worried about the pain and I think the back of my neck would hurt.

ironically, i'm getting a course of removal on my upper left arm so i can do more work/bigger work. never should have got an armband. doesn't hurt as much as everyone says when it's getting zapped, it's a few days later when it blisters and itches like a mofo. but it works, at least it did on mine, two sessions and i am going for one more and should be able to cover up with any color. the doctor charges about $180 and it takes him from in-the-door-"how ya doing"-zap-zap-zap to pay-and-out-the-door maybe.......8 minutes.

Ironically, I have a misspelling on a tattoo on my ankle. Drunkenly, I convinced my budding-tattoo-artist buddy to drunkenly ink the Converse All-Star logo on my ankle. (I was younger and foolisher then.) So it said CONVRRSE. I tried to have it fixed by a professional a few years later, but the whole word just ended up looking all blurry.
Yes, I'm a fucking moron. (That's tailor-made for your sig, Steve.)
Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

| Hilarious, Coastline. My girlfriend's a tattoo artist (not her profession, though) and she tried to convince me to have the converse sign on my foot, but I wasn't pissed, so I declined. |

I recently had a tattoo done on my left arm and I was surprised how little it hurt. Now I need one on my right arm to even me up!

I've been thinking about getting a tattoo. Maybe a quarter or half sleeve on my arm, something very colorful.
But every one is getting tattoos these days. And for the longest time, I figured it wasn't my style, you know? The only reason I'm thinking about it now, is because I have a color fetish, which doesn't seem like a good reason.
What do you think?
