Hi ... well I'd like to get tattooed... and most likely would be a motive whichs has something to do with Ireland... well so I'd like to ask you if you got any motives... Thank you guys

Never do a Leprechaun on your right shoulder - Patrick has one there
I have a "twa corbies" - two ravens on me right shoulder and... smth. else on me left one... Since I was 19 y.o.

I once almost persuaded a friend of mine to get a tattoo of Bobby Sands on his arm, even though he isn't the slightest bit Republican. He was pissed drunk and all on for getting a tattoo (as you do when your pissed), but when we got him to the tattooist they wouldn't do it because he had drink on him. Something to do with thin blood being dangerous to draw.

I'll probably get a tattoo later this year, definately next year. Probably something celtic, nothing Republican.

Celtic crosses can be very detailed. Just finding the 'one' that suits you is the difficult part. I grew up about 65 miles from Milwaukee. The tatoo that I got is actually the 'logo' for Milwaukees 'IrishFest'(The largest festival in the mid-west). I might just get a cross for my left arm.(providing Cate wouldnt mind)

I dont like tatoos unless they're needed for any magic or religios use...

but if I would have to choose a tatoo, I would choose the celtic animal drawing "an gabar" (correct me if I've written it not correctly)

Got lots of tattoos but only two Irish ones now. I have a leprechaun throwing a bomb with Fightin' Irish under it. My other is a 4 leaf clover (shamrock) on my right hand with my wifes initials in it.

I have pics but Im not sure how big they are or I'd post them.

Up the 'RA

Im tempted to get a Shamrock with a Pint of Guinness under it. Not sure how'd it would look but it could work - My pal got Celtic symbols all up the top of his arm last week. I was going to get one with a Scottish flag on the left and an Irish flag at the right crossing each other i think that would also look cool.

I'd prefer absolutely NO tattoo for myself, but sometimes they're nice to SEE...

Seems nice...Celtic tattoos

Thank you guys... it's more than I had think hehe .... well I'd like to have a leprechaun or maybe the shamrock from celtic glasgow with a guinness under it... celtic crosses are forbidden in Germany... some people use it here as a NAZI symnbol... so it's fucked up...

no, thats not right, they're not forbidden and they're not a sign that Nazis use...

what you're meaning is the Nordic Rune GEBO...

Get the Ireland and German flag crossing over each other, I seen one with an Irish and Scottish and it looks really cool.

Erm that's if your really german that is lol.

If I was to get a tattoo, surely I'd have a Celtic cross on my shoulder blade. But I'm not into tattoo so much. So I wear my celtic crosses and harp around my neck.
Irelands_son, if you want to, you can send them those pictures, I will resize them for you.

Tatoos would look stupid on my lillywhite freckled skin.

I've been contemplating getting a tat on my shoulder, the outline of the Six Counties colored green, white and orange. Problem is white color doesn't last in tattoos.

BULLSHITE!!!

Jesus, Sean!

Okay, I've actually been thinking about this tattoo thing. My new idea is an Armalite AR-180 with a shamrock coming from the barrel. It's a nod to Chairman Mao who said that political power only grows from the barrel of a gun, as in this case the United Ireland (shamrock) is doing.

Werewolf, sorry, but it had remind me about the Hippie anti-war actions - pushing the flowers into the soldiers' guns' barrelrs..
If I shall ever deceide to make a republican tatoo I'll think of NI wall graffity...

That's the beauty of it. Tats with political or otherwise strong meaning are risky... I mean, if I want to be a respectable businessman I probably won't want my employers to see a very provocative tat on me, that could seriously damage my career (Remember that I'm Finnish, here, having a sauna with your work mates is not that uncommon and it's very hard to hide a tattoo in a situation like that). So a tattoo that can be understood in different ways might be very useful. People could think that the tattoo is about peace, but those in the know would recognize the symbolism.

what's with the Irish Harp?
It is not provocative and it's still republican (in my opinion)

Fianna F�il use the harp, fuck me if that's seen as Republican.

Get the Role Of Honour written on your back. Now that would hurt...

so Guinness uses the Harp as its Symbol, and its on the Irish Euro

That's the answer! A good ole pint of uncle Arthur's milk - that's a tatoo suitable for sauna and anywhere too!

So? Guinness and the Euro coin aren't symbols of Irish Republicanism, are they now?

Look, I'm Finnish... As a people right up there with the great drinkers, the Irish and the Russians. Do I really want to underline that image by having a tattoo of an alcoholic beverage?

i have a celtic cross with a death head in the middle on my back looks really nice. i have three more but the are not really celtic or irish but there will come more.

Hi everybody,
Every year for the last four or five, arround the time of my birthday, I think of getting a green celtic interlaced shamrock on my shoulder, but up to now, I have always suddenly remembered that I hate the sight of needles or anything related to them, so I always say "I'll do it next year". May be I'll finally get it this time... I found a model I really like.

A friend of mine got a tiny celtic cross on her hip, and it looks really nice, too. She's getting one of these knotted-patterns arround her ankle soon, so I may go with her and get mine :-)

Sl�n,

You dont have to look while getting a tattoo

Or be concious for that matter...

girls look sweeter without any

No way, girls with tattoos are hot, specially celtic rings round the arm and ankle.

Obviously a heart with "I Luv Mum" on it with a ships anchor hanging off it is a little bit of a turn off...

it wouldnt be a 'wee Irish devil' would it?

So where are the tattoos WeeIrishDevil...Btw Did i send you a message earlier. I was Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiished unfortunately now im sorta hungovery sober
