Straight Edge tattoo...

XHonusWagnerX - 5-29-2008 at 02:15 PM

okay.... so for good or bad, I've finally decided that I want a Straight Edge tattoo... the thing is I want a GOOD one! I dont want it to be anything cliche like an X'ed fist or the just the words 'Straight Edge'.

Its actually kind of odd becuase I know I want the tattoo but I have no idea what it should be of! Sounds retarted!

Anyone got any suggestions, ideas or things they have seen before that were kind of cool?

gavin - 5-29-2008 at 02:16 PM

Im not ready for knuckle tattoos. I wish I was because I would get STR8 EDGE, but Im not ready for hand tattoos yet.

I support C.M. PUNK becuase he is edge and hes a kind of high profile wrestler now. I do dislike his love for Pepsi vs. Coke. He has a Pepsi tattoo and his finishing move used to be called 'The Pepsi Splash'.

As far as Straight Edge wrestlers Im more a fan of Josh Prohibition! ;)

joemaconmovies - 5-29-2008 at 02:56 PM

actually, i don't know if this has been asked before and if it's too personal then just say so and ignore it but why are you straight edge, man?

if I was really dedicated to being heavily tattooed I would get a X-Swatch around my wrist.

tireironsaint - 5-29-2008 at 05:33 PM

I have an edge tattoo and it's the only tattoo I wouldn't mind covering up at some point, but it would be pretty hard to do so. I'm still sober and all, but SxE today is not what it ever meant to me and I don't want to be associated with those shitheels in any way.
Anyway, mine is a pretty straight forward design with the old DC triple X with a double underline, but I put a laurel wreath around it and the whole thing is in flames. I'll see if I have a photo somewhere that I can put up here.

XnMeX - 5-29-2008 at 05:49 PM

My friend Leroy's tat...


CR83 - 5-29-2008 at 06:03 PM

I am considering the same thing honus. I went sober on 10-28-07. I may do something about that. The problem is that you never did drink, smoke or do drugs so you don't have a "birthday" like that. Rats!

I'm a big fan of Stand and Fight. I love the phrase, "I Won't Break".

XnMeX - 5-29-2008 at 06:27 PM

This thread made me think of a shirt design / idea I did a month or so ago. I am just wondering if people would actually BUY them if I get them printed....


tireironsaint - 5-29-2008 at 06:40 PM

Found it.

Thats pretty cool and it looks kind of like a Star Wars rebel logo too.

tireironsaint - 5-29-2008 at 10:35 PM

Since I know you didn't mean it as such, I won't take your Star Wars reference as an insult, but fair warning : I don't play that shit. :wink1:

I definitly didnt mean it as an insult at all... to me thats a cool thing.... Sorry Saint!

XHonusWagnerX - 5-30-2008 at 08:43 AM

I still have no idea what I want it to be, but I found these on www.BMEzine.com



I REALLY LIKE THE COLORS ON THIS ONE


I FEEL LIKE THIS MUST HAVE HURT LIKE HELL!

Furly - 5-30-2008 at 10:34 AM

the huge X's are just silly.

I like the colorful one, but just cause I love ice cream, and it looks like magic marker.

gavin - 5-30-2008 at 11:04 AM

i got my palms tattooed and its one of the worst
plus, all that black is gonna fall out
you cant do anything that thick on the palm of your hand

Im not a fan of the palm X's at all I just figure it must have hurt like hell. I do like hte X's on the back of the hands, but having only 5 tattoos that are all on my lower legs, Im not ready for anything on my hands!

Furly - 5-30-2008 at 05:13 PM

i know a edge girl that just turned 21, has complete sleeves (that are actually very nice), and just got 'GOOD TIME' on her knuckles. When she showed me I laughed.

Then again, I dated someone that used to (covered now) have SKIN FUCK.

bad knuckle tattoos crack me up.

DaveMoral - 5-30-2008 at 05:28 PM

I know a guy with a camo Xs on his hands. He's got "high five" on his knuckles, and for some reason got a Chinese take out box and the words "dim sum for life" around it...

joemaconmovies - 5-30-2008 at 05:30 PM

all the edge dudes i know are too pussy for ink

XHonusWagnerX - 5-30-2008 at 05:57 PM

I have a friend with COCA COLA on his knnuckles which I think is the greatest knuckle tattoo of all time!

is this the same guy who hates that cm punk does the same pepsi vs. coke thing...meaning you josh

random - 5-30-2008 at 06:49 PM

you should be able to get some ideas here: http://www.straightedgeink.com

my only suggestion is that if you use something standard or cliche, find a way to work it into something different... instead of a normal X, do the crossed hockey sticks... just something a little different. or work the straight edge idea into a bigger tattoo.

here's one that's a nice tattoo, but not necessarily a great sXe one in my opinion... but it's definitely not the norm.

Spoiler - 5-30-2008 at 08:33 PM

I was browsing through www.straightedgeink.com and ran across this one...I thought it would be the perfect tat for Honus....and then I realized that it WAS his tat.

hahah... thats funny! That is in fact my tattoo... I like to refer to it as "The Crimson Goalie - Back on the Calf" :wink1:

I actually kind of designed/drew it. I put the crossed sticks behind it, but the bones in the original design are not symmetrical so I had to redraw and position them so that they lined up with the crossed sticks.

joemaconmovies - 5-30-2008 at 09:19 PM

knew that pic looked familiar before i read the caption about it being yours josh

I used to see him around all the time. Was ALMOST in a band with him at one point but, I don't want to hijack the thread. I just figured as soon as you said covered up SKin Fuck tat, I knew it had to be him. lol

He should get into another band, but I don't see that happening. He's an amazing musician and also could be one of the most intelligent people I've ever met.

Furly - 5-31-2008 at 02:12 AM

I really like the crimson goalie tattoo, I think the color looks way better in person.



I'd say about 70% of people I know with edge tattoos have broken it.
There was this whole crew of Edge kids back 7-8 years ago that all went to my high school (freshmen whan I was a senior), all were just graduating, and most got a tattoo to show how 'true' they were, I love going to the bars with them now.

What she says is so true though.

Honus has been edge for so long I don't think a tattoo will be the death knell of his edge-ness, though.

Most kids get tattooed with straight edge themes before they hit 21 and then break before they hit 21. There needs to be some kinda straight edge rule that says you can't get tattooed unless you've been straight edge for like 15 years and you're all old.

Oh, and I wasn't at all saying Honus would brake edge. I don't see him being clean JUST to call himself 'edge', I think he does it because he truly beleives in the lifestyle. He dosn't try, he just is.

joemaconmovies - 6-1-2008 at 11:38 AM

i know josh is truly edge. no doubt. i know those high school phonies she's talking about

DaveMoral - 6-1-2008 at 12:10 PM

Yeah, I wasn't suggesting you questioned Josh's edge. I'm just saying... sadly, the tattoo thing is too too true.

joemaconmovies - 6-1-2008 at 12:29 PM

yah, it is. that's my i haven't rush off to tattoo myself yet. well, that and money. i want to make sure the ink i get i won't regret or look back on and think 'what the fuck was i thinking' in a few years or so.

I have plenty of tattoos I wouldn't get now if given a clean slate, but they are things I wanted as a younger me, therefore, won't regret. I'm a different person than I was 10 years ago, but that younger me is why I'm the present me. My tattoos show where I was, I never know where I'm going.

Sorry Joe, I missed this question before...

To be totally honest I never had any interested in drinking or drugs at all. Cigarette smoking I dont understand AT ALL. I mean I get that it becomes an addition, I just dont understand why people start!? Its expensive, it smells bad, you have to go outside to do it (most places), and its not like a drug or alcohol induced high (or so I've been told).

I had friends that did acid when I was in jr. high. They were older than me, but they were my 'metal head' friends and they used to trip and play lots of D&D. I always looked at it as being something that was illegal and I did want to break the law. So that in addition to not having an interest is why I never started.

Then I got into hardcore and heard about sXe. I saw the Gorilla Biscuits and thought that Straight Edge was cool, but felt left out becuase the 'youth crew' guys were all skinny bleach blonde body builder vegans with flat tops. I was kinda fat, hated vegitables and had hair 1/2 way down my back.

It wasnt until that magic day that I found out about Slapshot that it all fell into place! :tumble: They were a hardcore band, they were Straight Edge, they had a Tshirt that preaced the virtues of 'red meat' and there was 1 or 2 guys in the band with long hair! PLUS.... How can any young teenager not be drawn to a hockey mask??

yeah.... so thats how it happened. I had some Straight Edge friends in highschool and all but one of them is no longer Edge. I had a few friends that were not 'Straight Edge' but just didnt drink, smoke etc. One of them started drinking, but is now a mormon (due to conversion for a marriage) so I guess he cant drink anymore and the other friend to the best of my knowledge still doesnt drink or anything.


________________________________________________


I remember all those bands
Preaching with motherfucking
X's on their hands
The Youth Of Yesterday, what else can I say
The times have changed and
they've faded away

The times have changed and
the trends move on
The spirit of youth I still carry on
Close minded attitudes, you
know the youth crew
Alienating everyone who didn't think like
who didn't
Act like
Who didn't
Look like you

Here today
And gone tomorrow
Memories Of Yesterday
Leave me in sorrow
Here today
And gone tomorrow
Sincerity? It was only borrowed

Hey but where are they now?
Cause I'm still here and
I'm drug free and fucking
sincere
Hey but that's okay cause
they're out of the scene
They're denying hardcore while
they chase the green

You know who you are you insincere,
straight edge last year,
drinkin' a beer,
have no friends,
no heart or soul,
playing the roll,
full of shit.
Before you go waving flags
you better know what you
stand for

XHonusWagnerX - 6-1-2008 at 01:39 PM

She rolls her eyes and lights another.
"One day I'll quit these things they're killing me"
She blows her brains right out her fucking mouth
"I just don't know how you do it"
Well, there is nothing in me
that you don't have deep within your fucking self.
Yes, the body is week but the mind is strong
and it controls the body,
you are not a slave, and I am not a superhero.
The difference between hard
and impossible is a thousand miles wide,
but that's not what you want to hear.
So you live a lifetime of regret
instead of moments of uncomfort
never knowing how great it feels to be free.
