"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

The tattoo of my mom and the family crest I will never regret, but I am growing tired of the horoscope one and should have gotten my crest instead of it in the location.

Quick run down of what I have:
1. Om symbol on my right shoulder (soon to be incorporated and or covered in my space sleeve).
2. The TARDIS from Doctor Who just below that (the beginning of my space sleeve).
3. The Guinness harp/national symbol of Ireland on my right forearm (again getting covered).
4. Old school banner on my left forearm that says "Rise Above".
5. Ziggy Stardust symbol on left forearm (will be turned into a solid black heart as part of the old school sleeve).
6. Red star on left shoulder.
7. Old school swallow on my left chest/collar bone area.
8. Lion like on a royal crest on my left back shoulder blade.
9. Celtic knot on my right back shoulder blade.
10. "Eire" (Gaelic for "Ireland") right below the celtic knot.
Next up is a piece in remembrance of my grandpa and then more work on the space sleeve.
Like SoldMySoul said, make sure it means something to you. Don't just go in and pick a piece of flash art and have it tattooed on. Put a lot of thought and effort into it. Any tattoo artist of worth would rather design something with you than just slap a Japanese symbol from the flash books on you.
Another thing to mention is make sure you always choose the best shops around. Paying more for quality is better than being stuck with a sh1tty tattoo for the rest of your life.

haha i left space for the day that i do make it so my pack can be etched in.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I really want my neck and buttcheek done. I want a MASSIVE Big Red Lips stamp on my buttcheek saying in "stamp-format", KISS MY ASS. Seriously want my neck covered. But lesser chance of ever getting into a good job.
Nice. I've never been inked, always been against it, but if I got one or two, it/they would have to be very meaningful and something I can carry with me for life, as is yours. Again, very nice work!AAAgent said:i have a wolf howling toward the moon on the edge of a cliff. its on my upper back. To me the wolf that is climbing this mountain still has a long journey but hasn't given up. Any instead of being the lone wolf he is now, one day he will become the leader of the pack that reaches the top of that mountain.

Lol where do you live? Ireland?theunflushables said:I've got 10. I have two that weren't thought out well enough. I don't regret them, but I regret where I placed them because I have to figure out ways to hide them in my sleeve plans.
