When are you going to get it coloured in...........
Just after the tail section was completed, my tattooist left the country to live in Florida... so I'm left in the dilemna of trying to catch him on his 6 monthly return visits or get someone else to colour it, but I;d rather he did it. Trouble is, I'm now in Swinedon, and his shop is Walton on the Naze, near Clacton on Sea... and that's a long way!
Ho hum, will have to get it sorted early next year I think.

Thats a stunning tattoo space monkey. Do you really need to get it coloured in, I actually quite like black and white. The wolfs head I had was in colour but this is the dragons head I had done, quite like it without colour.
Ok well its fairly modest but not for those with an aversion to bum cheeks.
My brief to the artist was along the lines of: I see the mountains as my father' the sea as my mother, and dragons as protective spirits. And this is what he came up with.
Id agree with Spacemonkey and say the bum was the most painfull bit. I was constantly being told to relax as it would make it less painfull..!?

I can hardly compete with some of the full body examples, but heres my Green Man, self drawn etc, it might even be the reason I started to look deeper into the outdoors.

Mate, that is fantastic! Does it go down the legs at all?
Where did you get it done, as maybe they can finish mine?
Relaxing? No bloody chance... I was so knackered after each 3.5 hour session from clenching everything for pain aversion that I could barely get up. The butt is like someone is using a soldering iron. I even popped a couple of prescription pain killers for that bit, but it still got thorugh! Real, proper pain that is...
Reckon I am one of the few here without er...body art.
I nearly got a tattoo done once but for some unaccountable reason, the studio was not open at the time - 2am on Sunday morning......

AXE !!
That's going to be my next (after nose-piercing)
Be sure to choose something you'll be happy to look at when you're 90 and wrinkled/saggy, and be sure to post a pic when/if you get it.
old thread but wanted to post my new tattoo firecrest has just done for me of an eagles head and the other one she did on me a wolfs head, really chuffed with her work and would really recommend her.

I have my blood group - unusual but not rare - on my left arm, never thought about the pub direction bit though.
My next two tattoos, to be inked side by side below my bloodgroup will be;
a) The "DON'T IRON" symbol found on washing label instructions.
b) The "wash at 40degs" symbol ditto.

hi guys,
I have to say that i have been looking for many many years with no luck, the ammount of flash that i looked through you would not beleve. I sort of gave up looking then just as things in my life were changing drasticaly i saw a photo on the web of a crop circle of all things! the meaning of the circle sort of fitted with the way my life was going in a forward and positive way 3 days later i had it done, that was only 3 weeks ago but if i ever feel low i just need to see it to help me to find the right path.
So after all thatFind something as unique as you are. Find a artist that
a) you like
2) you have a recomendation for
Remember a tattoo is for life not just for Christmas
cheers Lou
ps sorry my spelling is ab, abism, rubbish.
Good advice. I had to use some 'ready made' flash as I wanted an ambigram, but got the artist to embellish it. It's a personal message reminder to myself of the medical consequences of over-indulgence......
I've a wimp of a pancreas which cannot handle alcohol, so it's on my drinking arm to remind me of the consquences (days on hospital, nil-by-mouth, morphine & tramodol) - it's going to be a long boring life sober, but it's better than the alternative

although its often overlooked in most 'developed' country's, many 'tribal' cultures around the world practise scarification instead of tattooing, as it requires no tool others then a sharp blade...
personally i prefer scarification to tattooing for both ideological reasons (it uses the bodys own repair mechanisms to produce the pattern rather then introducing a foreign substance into the skin) and practical reasons (i like blades more then needles), but its not that easy to find a skilled artist here in the UK (last time i checked at least) - they are out there tho...

Tattoo was bad enough thanks
I like the artwork more than patterning which seems to be the main use for scarification (willing to be corrected - just what I've seen). I also thought a substance was used to aid & sometimes colour the scars, at least I'm sure I remember soot being used in a programme I saw about tribes in Papua New Guinea. The other reservation I've got is that I'd not be sure how effective scarification would be with my traditional paler than white with freckles Scottish skin, they seem more effective on black/brown skin from what I've seen.
Edit - I've re-read that & it reads as nitpicky & argumentative - that's not how I meant it honest!! All these things are subjective & personal - my 'criticisms' are just my internal thoughts on doing it to me.
