I want a Superman tattoo

[Black Sunday9]

I'm serious.

Dragoths thread got me thinking. I want a Superman tattoo on my arm up near my shoulder. Is this tacky? Should I refrain?

Now it might just be a Superman phase I'm going thru, I admit that, I mean I have only liked Superman for about 25 years. :grin

Did you ever read "A World without Superman" when Superman was dead and they buried him in a tomb beneath the city but scientist from Cadmus labs were trying to get to his body to do experiements? That was awesome. Then there were imposter Supermans.

By the way, Supposedly Doomsday is in the phantom zone but I'm not buying it, he will return. Wasn't it Braniac13 who gave him super intellect? I am fuzzy on that one, I remember someone helped.

Oh yeah sorry. Anyway back on the topic, I want the Superman "S". I'm gonna listen to your opinions thanks.

Well... I think on the chest would be better.. then you could wear snap front shirts so you could dramatically rip them open to display your secret identity to your lovers.... *L*

You do seem to be a rather avid fan... so I see no reason not to get it..

[Black Sunday9]

well i don't think I would have many "lovers" if I had it on my chest. Might scare some ladies away. thanks for your input. I am thinking about it for real.

Go for it, BS9! I think it would be hot!

i know.

Hey Nienna did you ever read that issue where Superman fought Dracula? That was awesome, Dracula tried to bite into Supermans neck but Superman is basically a lifeforce similar to the sun and Dracula died. He tore his shit up.

Do you remember when Lex Luthor team up with Grod? Hey who do you think would win in a race right now - Superman or Jay Garrick?

thanks Brenda.

Who is your favorite Green lantern?

I think you should get the Superman "S" on one shoulder, and kryptonite on your other shoulder.

Just to keep yourself in line. You know, kinda like an angel on one shoulder, the devil on the other.

I wouldn't get it on your chest. It would get annoying getting down with the "man of steel" every night.

Getting any kind of tat on your chest HURTS. I'm telling you from experience. That area doesn't heal as well on most people either because it tends to be natually oilier than other areas. Hence, the tat doesn't scab up properly afterwards.

Getting it on your arm or shoulder would be neat-o though. =)

By the way, I almost got a cartoonish version of the Last Supper above my pubis, but I decided against it... :confused

Chest it is then!

By the way MsM I was just thinking of you, I have an important question I wanted to ask: Why does Superman's real mom have a human name (lara) but seemingly everyone else on Krypton had Kryptonian names?

[Black Sunday9]

By the way, no I was never really thinking of a tattoo on my chest.

[Nienna]

Ummm... *L* I am fairly ignorant in Superman lore.. the comic force is not strong with me.

[Guest MsMaldoror]

Lara is actually a Kryptonian name. I thought you of all people would know that. Geesh.

Ok. I admit I did laugh at that. Nice.

[DarkenedCharm]

I'll offer my opinion, but if it doesn't coincide with what you want to hear, please don't shoot me...LOL

IF...

You get a Superman tattoo...I would refrain from getting the normal "old-school" Superman logo that is so common. Not to be offensive, but around here that tattoo is more popular with the "NASCAR crowd" than the Tasmanian Devil, or a big number 3.

MY OPINION...

I DID in fact read that "Superman is Dead" graphic novel, and I feel that something that would be SO FULLY BOSS would be: For a Superman tattoo, make it that completely grim and evil looking "drippy, bloody" looking logo in that particular comic. I believe they even printed a t-shirt with that one.

My two cents...Do with em as you will.

:woot: AAAAAAAAAAhahahahaaaaaa!!

thats what i am talkin about!!

[Brenda Starrr]

Quick....

Get it before July 15.

[soothsayer]

Will your superman tatt look like bon jovi's?

[Fierce Critter]

Wow. That is SO not the picture I was linking to. Oh well.

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I think that's exactly what BS9 is going for...

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

haha! I was wondering what you were getting at with that picture.

[Black Sunday9]

Darkened Charm I would not get a Superman tattoo for the samereason other people do, I don't care what others do, but youare reffering to this:

Which was the cover to superman #75 limited edition, there were 2 covers, the one above was limited editionand came with a death certificate and a black armband. It is worth about $75 unopened right now.

The graphic novel you read was part of a trilogy (superman is dead, a world without superman and the return of superman) in which Doomsday killed Superman.

That would make for an interesting tattoo I guess, but I am not sure yet. I want to get in better shape before getting a tattoo anyway.

thanks for your input and thanks for reading my useless superman drivel.

[Brenda Starrr]

I like that one, BS9. And so what if you're not "in shape". No one is perfect. Just get the tattoo!
