Hey everyone since I am a soon to be joke let me start with SORRY I had bugged you all about the information on this Tattoo I have seen. I have made my OWN choice on what I am going to mark on to my body and it does have meaning to me and that all that I belive shall matter. That orignal posting of the question was more for the purpose of knowing the deeper meaning behind the marking that so many people have on themselfs that I have seen. As for the Tom Netz situation, to me he is a very respected person and for the one who cut him down you should feel ashamed of cutting a man down on here who cant get up here to defend himself. BUT I am not in the right to correct you for I am not and elder so I will let that sit as is. But once again sorry to have cause so fuss and russ and confussion and controversity over the tattoo. Thanks for all of those who gave me helpful hints.

I will cut down Tom soft turtle shell again, right in front of your face dude! He is a joke and so is anybody standing beside him. Go get your pole smoking tattoo.

I didn't even know that we had tattoos. But, then again I don't live on a Rez and I'm only 1/3 Native. I would love if someone could enlighten me, links to info would be great.

Also Tom Netz has them on his arms and he had told me part of what they ment but then I got interputed before I could write it all down and member it so I know he had his before the movie. So IDK this is all very confusing now lol

i'm sorry but tom netz is a joke and by deducting the situation, you're right behind him.

Loosely translated...sounds like this guy got a tattoo that says he's a ...

Pole Smoker!!!

Well, that's my interpretation.

Man that is burnt up
But hey
I have a feeling thats what they did to him
LOL

i dont know tom netz personally and im not too sure id admit it if i did.but its looking more and more like 'monkey see, monkey do' with you and the tattoo thing. i'll assume you dont have any elder types to talk to or you wouldnt be on here asking about the ink so i'll just tell you this little story......

a guy my sister used to pal around with got drunk one night and got a tattoo on his shoulder of a set of chinese letters that supposedly meant 'no fear'. someone else told him the letters didnt translate that way and he got the bright idea of going to a chinese resteraunt in chicago to get someone to tell him what the letters were. no dice.
turns out they were'nt chinese, but japanese. so he went to a japanese place. the guy at the japanese place wasnt quite sure what the letters were but gave a loose translation of what they meant. one character had something to do with a stake or a pole banners are hung from and the other had to do with smoking or a person who smokes. the point is this; he didnt know what he was doing either and wound up with something on his shoulder that he hadnt planned for.
now, in your case,you seem to be looking for an open invite to get what ever tat you want for no other reason than you want it. mental note; tattoos dont wash off. once youve got that puppy on there its there for good. i dont know youre herritage, but unless youre of that culture that has the tats you seem to admire so much, id leave it alone.

But the tattoo had to be around BEFORE the movie in order for the MOVIE to use or have the idea about.

not at all...those tats could have easily been taken from something else and adapted to tats...the designs arent really much more than geometric shapes...i think youre trying to find meaning in soemthing that may not have any...

I thought I had seen those Tattoos before:

Daniel Day Lewis:




Mohawk Extra:




As for "Traditional" Cherokee Tattoos those were reserved for Warriors going to War or Little War.
They were applied by a medicine man not a Tattoo Artist
The bleeding is part of the process to cleanse you before you go to war
This has not been done in many many years

You will not find what you are looking for here, we can only pass on information as for permission
That you will not find here.

funny how the tats that PNW posted look identical to the ones in "mohican"...
