Love it. I’ve been thinking of getting something like this as a cover up for my tribal. Is it finished now?

Is this held in donny every year or does it move from place to place every year? Reason I ask im from sheffield originally and go home for a holiday every year. It’d be great to pop along 🙂

In the long term I seriously recommend wearing sunscreen.

I got my 1st tattoo done when i was 16 and used to have it out in the sun quite often and it faded quite badly, I got it recoloured and then i always used suncreen on it. It has kept its colour really well, ive had it 9 years now and it still looks great 🙂

Suncreen a few $s recolour few…[Read more]

That looks painfull…. good but painfull.

You have balls 🙂

Have you considered getting it done in black and grey instead ? It’ll look great when its done 🙂

Wow you only managed to see 3 people with a star tattoo ? They are so so common, it used to be anchors or mum tattoo’s then it was swallows on the hand, this generation its the star tattoo……cover up ?

This is great I cant believe no one has commented on it yet.

I could never get one on my leg though, they are too hairy, you’d never see it lol

Hi I’m from sheffield, and I got all mine done at

That is amazing 😮

hey thanks for posting that, its looking great. Keep us posted 🙂

Love it, can you take a pic of your whole arm so we can see how it all fits together ?

but i didnt get it too look cool. I very rarely show it too people, i didnt get it for other people to look at, it was something i wanted for myself

lol @ cool looking, so you know what i mean now 🙂

I mean obviosly not all maori are going to agree with what i said, i must just know really proud ones lol

by the way that is an amazing tattoo. I might have to give you a buzz when i get my next tat done, have you much experience of black and grey work ?

I didnt explain myself well enough. There are lots of people who come to NZ on holiday and get Maori tatts, they know nothing about maori people, nothing about the meaning of the tatts…they probably never spoke to a maori person they just get it cos they think it looks cool.

I think its a huge disrespect to maori people to do this. In the past…[Read more]

Funny you say that, i always find its less painfull when i watch my tattoo being done, wonder why that is lol

Shame it was a great show, although the door staff were very rude lol

Ive not seen many tattoo shows advertised for ages in NZ, where is the best place to look ? Would you know, being in the industry and all ?

Huuuge 🙂 What’s the pain like on the back in comparison to the arm (assuming thats ya arm in ya avatar)

Hi Eighty4.

My thoughts on tribal (just from my other posts I follow the belief it is just my opinion and shouldn’t matter to you).

I remember when the craze for tribal started and all my friends were like damn that will make me look cool/sexy/hard or just different. They rushed out and got themselves plastered with it.

To…[Read more]

I’m not a fan of it – just aesthetically it turns me off and I am bored of it and the lack of meaning to it – but that’s just me and I strongly feel that we should please ourselves, not others! I’m sure plenty of people hate my tattoos! On the plus side, I would imagine that most tribal designs will age relatively well – black…[Read more]

Hey thanks for the pics 🙂 Did you go to SINZ (south island nz) tattoo show in christchurch last year ? I was hoping they would do it again this year but not seen any ads for it
