I'm telling you right now, when I got my first tattoo I was a bit worried and so I had the design really really small. Luckily the guy at the parlor told me that it would look much better bigger, and he couldn't have been more right. If you really are that worried about having tattoo on your skin in a bigger way, maybe you are ready yet?

I suggest getting a bigger maple leaf if that is what you have your heart set on. Let there be good detail on it, and let it take longer than 5 minutes to get done so it has some more meaning to you. Just my 2 cents!

The reason many Asian's (at least Chinese) tend to stay away from tattoos is that traditionally, they were worn only by gang-bangers/triad. Thus, unless you want all you Asian friends/parents (moreso parents) to think you are a gangster, I'd stay away.

Even though you say you aren't getting it to be gangster, many Asian's I know would think it is.

What I'm trying to say is, if you live in an Asian community, or plan to marry an Asian girl, good luck getting their parents to like you.

I don't think they are gonna assume he is in some asian gang because he has a tiny tattoo of the maple leaf on his ankle. Don't you think thats a bit extreme? I'd hate to hang out with people that assume part of the canadian flag is a gang sign lol. My borther dates an asian girl (were white) and she has a traditional asian family, but they don't seem to mind that half his torso is tattooed (giant angel wing).

As for the OP, if you are going to get ink done, it's best to get it somewhat bigger, and to put a bit more thought into it. I mean, you are permenantly coloring that portion of your body, you should at least make it worth the experience.

yeah i agree the small tattoo on the ankle is not really "manly". also i really don't like the design. why not just wear a maple leaf necklace or something to show that you are patriotic? a tattoo should be more meaningful and really the purpose of them is to show them off.

I hate Chinese families, can't do shit with distorted traditional values and beliefs. Bigger tattoo would cost alot more, I'll think about a better design for the money worth.

Well i don't really know what you want to put on the tattoo, but make sure its not too complicated or it will be messed up and look terrible.

-Dont get a shitty tattoo
-Dont get a tattoo that only might only like for a period of time ("Fad Tattoo")
-Dont get a tattoo if you're black (because your skin color will make the ink of tattoo look blue and it looks stupid and barely visible)

Don't get one on your ankle, get on your back right above your ass. (tramp stamp ftw!)

Wait, if you're chinese you should get a tattoo in Chinese that says "white people can't read this"... man, that'd be too sick.

you named yourself HomieZ
this isnt to seem gangster or anything
i suggest you wait for awhile, before you either turn "gangster" enough to tattoo something decent or reevaluate yourself before its too late and go with a pink heart on your lower back
Can someone ban this guy please? FA?

My opinion: do what you want, everyone on TL is going to tell you tattoos are stupid etc etc, that's just how TL is. If you want to put it there, do it, if that's the design you want, do it. It's your choice. People saying tattoos are ugly...don't like tattoos. It's a subjective choice. I like ink, a lot of people don't. A lot of people seem to take it personally; you'll see so much seemingly arbitrary hatred for tattoos like Chinese characters, "symbols" as the fools who denigrate it call them. Ultimately, you just gotta make the choice for yourself. Ask yourself if you want to have it in a few years. If you don't know, then you can't really make the choice yet. Don't get a tattoo on a whim either.

I got a tattoo.

[image loading]


Probably not the smartest thing ever, but the location is not visible unless I'm naked. I suggest the high leg or back/chest. Anything on the lower arms is basically asking for trouble.

..the pic u linked us is a girl's.. dono if u knew that.. since the foot's got toenail polish on its toes..

imo tattoos are pretty badass but not many people that ive come by have nice ones.. i think the only actual cool ones are on real gangsters and people from prison..

in any case if you are to go through with it i am 100% sure that the ankle is for chicks.. and i think a cool tatoo has a story behind it

If you want something tiny on your foot, at least make it something manly. A ninja star! Otherwise, yea, the location and motif is too feminine.
