i wouldnt be bothered with the connotations of it i would be more worried about getting someone to do a really good job of all those straight lines! lol

Unless you are a stripper you will find ways of hiding them. There are many members here who have work restrictions and have quite a bit of ink.

Ditto! i have a no visible tattoos rule at work and it…[Read more]

wardy does have a fair point though, no amount of careful composition is gonna stop you putting on weight, your skin become thinner and wrinkly, women getting pregnant and stretching things in unimaginable ways, an operation being needed across a tattooed area, loosing an arm with your favourite sleeve in a car accident etc. So yes you can hope…[Read more]

i think it was meant to be a cupcake but if i’d come out a shop with it i would probably have shot myself in the face just to give people something else to look at!

ok try this…

bugger, how do you post a picture that’s saved on your hard drive? coz i can only find the option to use a web page :S

I have text on my ribs, they are my own words no-one elses everyone who sees it compliments it (tattooed and otherwise) and although its not finished (currently just the words, gettting more around it, just some smoky philigree when i can stand the pain) it suits my purposes perfectly. To say that words are not art is ridiculous not to mention…[Read more]

i have writing on my ribs, it feels a lot longer than it is coz the ribs are pretty narly! i have to say that they were the worst 25 mins of my life lol i would rather have the 2 hours on my hips bones again than do the 20 mins on my ribs again! lol i rekon it’ll take no more than an hour if you let them just get on with it and they are careful,…[Read more]

i’m not necessarily saying dont quote other people, you could have a favourite book or poem where a line or two just really resonates with you but if it’s just something you want to say for yourself there’s no point quoting someone you’ve never heard of just to make it sound clever lol i dunno, i know people who have a couple of lovely quotes that…[Read more]

well the “its” should be “It’s” as it stands for it is and i would probably have “to be someone else” than just “be” as i think it sounds better.

I’m a literature student so that’s the grammer side of things but at the end of the day the actual wording itself is really up to you, whatever feels most comfortable 🙂

Not much point having a quote…[Read more]

i love tattoos and i will always look and talk to people about theirs but i have to say there are a LOT of terrible tattoos in my area so in all honesty a lot of the time i’m staring becuase its so god awful! lol (some of them are even on friends of mine and they’re so pleased… i cant help but say “yeh but it’s wonky, blurry and… i think it’s…[Read more]

lol fair point! the blue morpho butterfly was the first tattoo i ever wanted, since i was about 13, i’m now 25 and i still want it but i want to wait until i have some others that dont matter as much to me so i can make sure that i have definitely chosen the right artist and placement etc.

so far i am very pleased with my current artist so we’ll…[Read more]

Hi all,

I joined another tattoo forum a while ago and wrote a post and not one person said hello (still havent to this day, so in the end i just didnt bother going back so it’s nice to actually have a reply! lol

was starting to think that maybe i’m just offensive (or dismally boring) over the internet! lol

the one on my ribs isnt finished yet,…[Read more]

I’ve been reading through this thread and i can see a lot of very good points. It is true that when someone decides to tattoo their face neck hands etc they have to expect a certain reaction from people, especially in a work environment.

I work for a huge chain of pubs in the UK and when i started there a couple of years ago, the rule was, no…[Read more]
