If I was gonna get an Armenian Tatoo. I'd get a scene.
Picture this:

you get the tatoo of Ararat, both Great and Small.
On the peak of Great Ararat you have the flag of Armenia.
And maybe a small Armenian church right by the mountain.
Hmm, "nothing CRAZY". well, take the Small Ararat peak out.

Or how about this one, the tatoo of Akhtamar, or Tsitsernakaberd.

Finally if non of these options are good, maybe you can tatoo this guy on your left shoulder :

Personally, if I had to make such a statement, I would not tattoo clichés such as the mount Ararat, the Armenian flag. Not only it may say: "that's all we have to show," but they may not - as tattoos - be esthetically appealing.
Instead I would chose - for a tattoo - themes from the following; because of the colors, simplicity of the lines and esthetic appeal :
1- Ancient ceramics - some nice patterns, themes
2- Medieval "illustrations" - "enluminures" in French
3- Patterns from old napkins and/or rugs
4- Armenian painters. For instance, some of the paintings of Minas Avetisian - slightly simplified - may render nicely as tattoos. Examples:










The themes and colors have an Armenian touch!


For more ideas check the following
1- If available in Canada, "Armenie entre Orient et Occident" published by the "Bibliotheque Nationale de France".

Tattoos are lame.

Tattoos are lame.

It depends how tasteful they are, where they are, how many and of course, the quality!
A single one, with nice colors/size/quality where she wants to have it can be delightful!

I'm sure, but generally speaking tattoos have been the hallmark of criminal and lowly elements, and generally speaking, they still are the hallmark of the knaves. It's funny because I used to be all into this idea of getting a tattoo but now my view on it has changed 180, as I've matured. I don't mind if you want to get it, but I still have my ideas of what tattoos are and the kind of people that generally get them.

I always get Henna Tattoos but I've never really thought about getting a real one. It all depends on whats tasteful, what you like, and if you can deal with having it on your body for the rest of your life.

What my question is, what is the point of getting a tattoo? What is the reason that motivates one to get it?
