looking for something to signify my antisocial personality. i do not like crowds, bars, clubs, etc. the only thing i can think of is the bumper sticker that says "does not play well with others". that would be a little too much wording for my liking. anyone have any ideas?

what about a chinese or kanji character? you can find them on about.com or you could just get the word anitsocial in a nice script.

[my opinion follows, don't like it, too bad]

Ugh, not more kanji. Just as you hear artists (and collectors) say that tribal is getting way too popular, kanji is right behind it. While it was original when it started, when everyone else has a kanji symbol, its not as special.

But hey, your skin, your ink, your decision.

-- How about a big middle finger, ya know, like f you all? hehe. You can expand on that and make a cartoonish character that looks like you (or what you think you represent) giving middle fingers.

-- How about one of those stick kinda figures you see on bathroom signs with a red cirle and X going through it

-- How about one of those warning triangle construction signs with a single person standing in the middle, apart from others standign on either side? (http://3eyes.co.uk/modules/output/generate_image.php?id=717&w=500&h=500&sq=false). If you don't like the yellow, you can just get the people in there in some form of armband.

-- How about the planet earth with a red cirle and X going through it?

Well, first of all I agree with bigtwinky, on two levels. I think kanji is getting overdone and plus what kanji would you get that other people would recognize to mean antisocial?

Second I think that a big middle finger is a great salute to your personality. If you wanted to take it a step further, and maybe go a little bigger, then try this. Get a middle finger and on the fingernail have a picture of either a type of person you can't stand, or even some kind of symbol that represents being anti-social. For instance, if the American government irritates you, put the American flag on the fingernail.

I love the fingernail idea.. good one!

As for the kanji, if the idea if being antisocial, which is different from the norm type of attitude, doing your own thing, getting something that is very widely done will be conflicting with the message you are trying to put out.

heh.

twinky - that's the very root of my argument as to the irony of the anarchy symbol...

my bad with the kanji, you would just have people asking what it meant. it would be annoying. you could just put f... off, i saw that on a car today. around the big middle finger of course

Just tattoo the finger right on your face.. or your throat.. that's pretty "anti-social"

yeah I don't think you could get any more anti-social than that.

You could always do what some old sailors did. As an F You to the Navy, they'd tattoo F--- You on their hands so when they saluted, the commanding officer could read it.

Since tattoos are becoming more mainstream why don't you do the word "tattoo" in a circle with a line thru it...

Ruby

How about a highway with lots of cars on it curving downwards leading into a trashcan, or perhaps a poisonous mushroom with Best Left Alone on the cap?

Two pictures...one of a hand shooting the finger and one of the other hand pointing out (in the direction of the person looking at it). I saw that on a tee shirt once and thought it was really good.

I agree with the tribal,kanji over done thing... how bout"I Bite"or heart with the circle and line through

There's a traditional biker tattoo -the letters FTW - it's supposed to mean F---the World.

Or it could mean Free the Whales-- that's what Garver said in his Miami Ink special!

Sounds like you just enjoy your solitude and your space, not that you want to tell everyone to F**** off.
Maybe a desert island with the single palm tree like you see in cartoons!

How intisocial can you be asking strangers what to mark your body with? Wait till you grow up before you get a tattoo because if you don't you will regret it.
