Don't let some non-tatted up dudes tell you what to get tatted.
If that's part of your commitment, then fuck yeah.
I think "wait til black belt" is saying to you, you may not follow through
with this thing. A tattoo is about passion and commitment, not mastery.
And shit, if you don't follow through with 10th planet, then you know yourself
a bit better and won't do that next time, and you can always make it a sweet
space scene.
I fully agree. Ive got almost 2 sleeves and both calves pretty much done as well as half my back. I got a 10th tatty as well. There is always the chance in life if you get a piece of art to commemorate something that the something wont be there forever. I have tons of tats that meant more when I got them than they do now. Ive trained in a multitude of arts and thought it best to get something generic like Bushido on me (which I have). But on the same note I kinda look at the art work on me as a time line of my life, I dont regret getting them because they inspire memories for me. Its my personal thing though and everyone is different. The only thing I regret about any of my art work is that I never went bigger sooner hehe. Bigger is cleaner and better looking.I ll post some of my good martial arts inspired tats

. Wait til black belt, and you will probably extend the wait again. I dont see it as a lack of commitment to the system, I see it as a lack of commitment to the tattoo. You just dont know if yo want one really .... or your reasons for having them are different than mine. I love the art work and the memories.
