What do you think! I have never received a tattoo in my life and it's somewhat against my families German / Polish culture!

But if there's one thing I would tattoo it would probably be my wallets QR code or the BTC symbol or the "POWER" sign we all see on our computers ON/OFF Button :)

Discuss!

If you post something interested please share your BTC (or any other form of cryptocurrency address for a generous donation <3)

I don't think it's a good idea... You should think wisely before getting it. What if you lose the private key to the address? :D It would be really silly.

Also, the neck is a very visible part. Most tattooers will not tattoo someone without any tattoo on visible places like the neck, face or hands (for various reasons, the main one being people like that aren't really deep into the tattoo culture and don't really understand the implications of getting one).

Besides, 3 BTC is too low for such a thing :D

Don't do it.

Its retarded.

Why would somebody pay You to get a tattoo like that? Doesn't make sense to me.. :p what is in it for him?

Maybe having the tattooer tattoing a QR code from the guy paying the 3 coins without the OP knowing? :D

Not the neck. I'd put one on like my leg though

3 BTC is not much for something that would last in your skin a lifetime and that would get your family angry. It is not worth it at all. I would not do it if I were you, not even for 30 BTC.

3BTC is not much? Would you say the same in December 2013 when it was worth 4 times what it is now? The price is relative.
It's still more than the cost of doing the tattoo and later removing it. I'd do it in his place.

Don't do it Trance

When you get a tattoo I don't think they care where you have it done as long as you're paying for it, after all the customer is always right :)

Breaking my rule of never ever getting a tattoo!


I agree the back of the neck is the most outrageous spot!

I was getting an MRI done a few weeks ago and some girl had her ink stripped off her skin during an MRI (apparently the ink had trace amounts of metals within)

#IHateTattoos!

even it is quite retarded idea, you should know, that some tattoos on some parts of body are also "work preventing" and you may not be hired because of them. and yes, neck as visible part is example of it.

if you can't resist, do it on shoulder, leg, chest or arm..

I don't think tattoos are a good idea, but I guess it could be useful to have your receiving address handy in case anyone wants to send you some money.  If the picture of your tattoo gets passed around the internet, people will probably tip you for it using the QR code.

But then it also kind of seems like you're getting labeled with a slave number.  Even our current banking system doesn't stamp itself onto people's bodies.

I think people focus too much on getting the tattoo, and not enough on having the tattoo the rest of their lives.

You're thinking it's 3btc, a little pain, and then it will be over with.  But it won't be over.  It will be there next year, and 10 years from now, and every year until you die.  If it was 3btc to do something once, that would be different.  But this is 3btc for a 50-year contract.

This is retarded. I wouldn't do it, and it's not even some huge sum for what you have to do. I mean only 3 BTCs.

Also what will you do if Bitcoin doesn't succeed, this would be a painful reminder of the failure. On the other side, what if Bitcoin technology changes in the future, and QR codes become obsolete. Than you would have a useless QR code on the back of your neck.

Just don't do it!

I wouldnt do it for a mere 3.0 bitcoin if it was 10+ then I would consider it and I would do it for 20+ no doubt in my minds

Not quite (http://www.inkedmag.com/cant-get-fucking-neck-tattoo-jane-marie/). But yes, there may be less professional tattoo parlors where you can probably get whatever you want if you pay (they'll probably be cheaper too).


Precisely!


Another very good point.


And there's another excellent post...

Aren't there some tattoo stations that fade off after a while? Just do one of those.

What's the point in wrecking your skin which you would of never thought about doing before for a mere 3 bitcoin? 3 bitcoin whats that a month or two work....that tatoo will last for ever

Sounds like something your mates would tell you whilst you are drunk and then you wake up the following morning and have to face the music



DONT do it OP

Sounds interesting. I would do it for that sum of btc. It will take me more than a month of full time 8 hours job, so why not get consider it  :P

See if he'll settle for the top of your back... you control when you want to show it off depending on the shirt you wear.

Neat idea, but I wouldn't do it on the neck. Maybe underside of the wrist or something.

Depends how you measure and value family tradition against the btc amount. For me i wouldn't sacrifice what i believe in for that sum of money. Different people different opinion

I told him 30 BTC or bust!

Looks like I won't be doing it unless my business partner gets super drunk and sends me 30 BTC =D'


(even then Ill make sure to get ink that eventually washes away ;)

If you really want to go for it, ask for 10+ Bitcoin (reasonable) and upfront!!

Just do it, they have laser removal if you end up hating it someday. It would probably be pretty cool, people could send you money by scanning your neck.  :o

Anyone want start a crowdfunding to sponsor this guy to tatto his wallet QR code? lol. Funny guy.

If you do it please post pics  ;D

if you want my opinion, i say don't do it or at least don't get it on your neck. since you don't have any tattoos i'd say you will regret it for the rest of your life.

but if you really wanna do it , change its place at least. for example having it on your arm is way better than your neck. i think it even looks cooler on your forearm and more accessible too.

I don't think its a good idea.  Plus, in 20 years, due to sagging of skin and what not, it probably won't even be scan able anymore.  Can you imagine having someone trying to scan your QR code and having to smooth skin back into place to get it to work.

Plus, if the computer gets hacked that stores the private key for that address, then the QR code is worthless.  Not impossible, but definitely challenging to keep that hidden forever.

I got a Bitcoin tattoo for free, but it was only on my shoulder.

You'd get paid more if you have your girlfriend do it and post here picture somewhere...people are quick to send tips.

That was really cracking Idea, anyways my Girlfriend will crash me if i ask her to do that.I feel that i should photoshop few images of Hot Chicks and get my QR code done on their Body.

Thanks for the Idea !

If you are a person who has some tattoos i would do it but negotiate the area of body perhaps.  Make sure you back yourself up with a clone human copy.  ;D

It would be a horrible idea, what if you change your BTC address? Then you will be stuck with an invalid BTC address for the rest of your life.

Maybe tatoo it on your arm, it is easier to remove it from there if its needed!

DO IT!
