I agree – it’s a bit “square” (as in “angular” rather than “conformist”!!) so I would expand it & soften the lines. Colour it up & add some other things to the roots & branches. It could expand into all sorts of things. Have a look at “Mind Mapping” – you could do lots with it 🙂

I understand why there were so many negative questions but I’m not a negative person so it all washes over me 🙂 My only criticism is that whoever created the survey needs to run a spell checker… it’s “Asian” not “Aisan”. Tch students eh? :p

Ok I’ve just been to see my artist and he’s going to put some ideas together based on what I’ve talked to him about. We’re going to do my right arm in a few weeks time – probably a couple of sessions. But he’s all excited about doing the full back piece – heron & all.

I would say… live with it for a while & see how you get on with it. If you’ve just had it done you’re still not used to wearing it so you need that to settle down first. Then show your friends & see what they think – they won’t all approve but the “real” ones will at least give you some support. Then if you’re still not up to talking to your mum…[Read more]

I’d never get cartoon characters inked on me, but then I am fixated on Japanese stuff 🙂 Still it made me laugh – cheered me up after my car crash last night – don’t worry I’m ok – car’s knackered but I’m ok 🙂

I’ve got my wife’s name in Japanese kanjis on my wrist. But if anything does go wrong I can always lie about what it actually says 🙂

Hmm I can see I’m going to be doing piercings once my tattoos are all done – if they can ever really be “done”! Does the one through your lip not hamper you in the kissing department? I need to be convinced on how simple it is to take them out temporarily – I’ll need to be able to take all the pins out easily & quickly as I do karate & you need to…[Read more]

Worst for me was shoulder blade, but my artist did it really quickly so it wasn’t too bad in the end. Oh and the back of my left bicep wasn’t too good either. Need to get started on the rest of my back so I’ll let you know whether there’s some more sensitive areas there!!

The trouble with asking a question like “do men like tattoos on girls” to this forum is that, because we’ve all got tattoos, all the blokes on here will say “yes they’re sexy”. And I’m with them 🙂

You could try clingfilming it, putting on your sock & pads then see whether it causes any trouble. The clingfilm should mean that there’ll be no rubbing and the sweating (as already suggested) shouldn’t matter really.

Bepanthen is definitely the cream to use – no irritation, allows the tat to breathe & keeps it moist at the same time – grand…[Read more]

Hi Ivy…

Well personally I’d go for something a bit more colourful like a dragon or snake coiling up your back & up your neck 🙂 But your “flower” should cover everything up ok on your back not sure about your neck though… is the tattoo the right shape to go up there?

Sorry not very helpful but…
