There is some lyrics ive wanted done for awhile... By a band that i like but don't really know every single song by heart... so im unsure if i should do it... but its one of those things that i kinda just want done... As well as another band logo....

But... i dont want to have a bunch of random tats... i think it looks horrible... i currently have a few and dont want to get more spoty... That being said... im considering a half sleeve on my arm...

Another thing... im not sure if in my career choice tattoos are acceptable.. i mean how many chemists have a bunch of tats. But they are becoming more acceptable in society i think...

Lyrics:
Social Distortion- Reach for the sky
"Yesterday is history and tomorrow's a mystery"

Just looking for opinions... If i don't go with finishing an arm... i guess lleg or shoulder or something.
 
Dude, I have one tatoo (well two, but it amounted to one) and Im also itching for more. As long as the sleeve can be covered by clothing, then I think youre golden no matter what the career. How many chemists work wearing a wife beater? I think lyrics would be cool to get, so you have my support on the choice.

This was also my standing lol. Tattoos are like piercings... once you get one your hooked.
 
I one time drew up some RATM lyrics in the form of barbwire...the knobs of the barbs were the capital letters of each line and the strands were the other letters were. I only did 1 or so verse's just enough to go around the arm or have as a O. I was going to get it on my shoulder but never got around to it.

I figured if it faded it would just look like barb wire.
 
i work with a guy that has full sleeves, you would never know he has them because he wears long sleeve shirts everyday. my vote is to go for it but be prepared to wear long sleeves the rest of your career.
 
I got a 1/2 sleeve on my right arm. Im not a fan of random tats all over the place, I like full pieces.

Me personally i'm not a big fan of band tattoos, but if you really like it, find a good artist and see if he make make you a nice piece that'll work.

Now that its winter its time for me to get more also. I wanna add to my left arm and make it a 1/2 sleeve like my right arm. Then work on the legs and ribs :D

I dont lake band tattoos either... BUt i really like the alkaline trio logo... and they have been a favorite band of mine for along time now... and if im going to get lyrics of a band its only to cite the quote.... ill probably do a half sleeve my artist is really really good... but i like to design my own stuff... i photo shopped the stars... noone would touch them because all the strait lines. aparently my stars were really hard to do...
