All mine have a spiritual meaning for me. I have a cover up on my left forearm, now its a wizard which covers a winged skull, my first tattoo. The winged skull represented for me the freedom of spirit, no death! The wizard reperesents that we create our own reality with unseen magik but magik no less.

I have a celtic cross, (I’m Scottish), on my…[Read more]

Hi it could be part of the process! Tattoos do look like they are faidng during the healing period and for the majority of people the colour, whatever colour, does come back.

Am a newbie here too Dave, howz it goin? 😀

Hi Guys
Re: branding.

Hi Stowsea I agree there are far to many egos on some sites.

I have seen a lot of amazing body art and some not so amazing, suppose its par for the course in whatever field of work or profession we are in. Personally i have been inked by artist who i consider to be good and like what they inked, my thoughts of what I wanted transferred into my skin.
