As cool as that is, that's a good way to mark yourself for life and regret it later.

I saw that posted on one of the ink sites I regularly visit. It looks really cool, but it's something that will pretty much change your life. I suppose thats the point though.

It basically screams "Don't take me seriously, ever" to me.

I dunno, its quite a commitment to do something like that. Work like that takes time; shows dedication if you ask me.

That dedication in the short run is admirable.  In the long run it's a terrible choice.

meh, I'm not sure *most* people get big body mods. But then again, thats also sort of the point.

Well....at least this guy won't have to worry about a halloween costume for the rest of his life.

But anyways, personally, I've gone back and forth on tatoos a few times. In the end, basically I feel like if you get a tatoo it should be something discreet, meaningful and permanent. I guess a good criteria would be "would you be afraid to show your grandkids your tattoo" and as such I've always had more respect for tattoos commemorating something important like military tattoos, national flags, religious symbols, etc. Something as big and over the top as having a full skull tattoo'd on your face/head just strikes me as an INCREDIBLY bad idea. Do you really want to walk around having 80%+ of the people who see you thinking you're a psychopath and scaring young children? As such, I'm going to go ahead and vote "not sick" on this one.
