Tattoos are always personal
Don't sweat what other people think about them its your tattoo
And also its funny

There is nothing wrong with getting a tattoo for an achievement in your life. I got my unit's crest tattooed after my infantry course and dont regret it even if im not serving anymore. I also got a tiger tattooed on my forearm when I got my yellow belt, will get a Chinese dragon on my other forearm when I reach red belt (which might be tonight if all goes well)

you mean like this?

are you doing it because of the kung fu tv show featuring david carradine, and that scene where he lifts the glowing hot vessel with his forearms and they get branded?

you know that's just a TV show, right?

so your tattoos don't resemble the pic i posted?

what reason are you getting those images on your forearms? is there some significance to you? most are going to assume that you are a fan of the TV show that featured this (historically questionable) scene: (2:06)

Yeah unfortunately the flash plugin the embedding uses won't allow use of the timing/queuing functions in the Youtube API.

Dragon, tiger...that's funny.

Ming, what are you doing?

When anyone says he wants those on his forearms, what you do is tell him they're not tats, explain what they really are, and tell him there's only one true way to get them.

Then you show him the "grasshopper-leaving-the-temple" thing, tell him it's 100% real and point him to the nearest cauldron, telling him that a real practitioner also has animal images burned onto eyeballs, tongue and junk.

Bad Ming. Bad. Bad.

The real way to tell a REAL practitioner is they have bruises all over their arms and legs that sort of look like Shaolin animals once the dit da jow is fully absorbed.
