Uni Posted April 8, 2014 Share What's the story behind it uni.. The lion and the crabTiger with crabs hmmpph ruin my happy with that dodge image ;p The obvious thing, crab/tiger western /eastern star signs, symbol in the middle is my name in chinese, and there's a colloquial saying in Hong Kong slang putting the words tiger & crab together that means - "no matter how hard/difficult" I decided to go for something that would still be relevant and meaningful to me in 10 years time rather than something whimsical and fleeting.

chris_w_65 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Decided to celebrate my mid life crisis with some ink. Been wanting to do it since my teens, just never had the guts, or the bucks - I love it.The artist wants to finish it off with some blue background shading, that can only happen in a month. I don't think it will be the first of many, this is just my me to me. Decided to celebrate my mid life crisis with some ink.

Didn't mean to ruin your happy, and the explanation is pretty cool, and the ink looks good. As for my mid life crisis, I'm planning a nice simple affair with an 18 year-old.

Uni Posted April 8, 2014 Share Good on you. Ive always wanted to... But im too much of a pansy. (And my wife wont let me:) It was actually a lot less painful than I thought it would be. Though I did warn the guy I might burst into tears.The only person I asked "permission" from was my boss, I asked him if he'd have any problem with me getting a large, very visible tattoo, when he said no, I set my plan into motion Now to show my mum Edited April 8, 2014 by Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebel Posted April 9, 2014 Share My mid life crisis involves wanting to go live in another country.. Maybe I should get myself a tattoo.. A lot cheaper Rather buy a Harley. It is more expensive but when you do come to your senses and realise that you are just getting older and that your wife of 20 years loves you more now than when you got married and then there are the children....and that the Harley makes you look like a tit..... At least you can sell the Harley and all the accessories that you have accumulated and get back to normal life. Tattoos are for ever....
