Tattoo Thread.

I think they are still open because of the area they are in. It's a really bad area, chavs everywhere and the avarage age of the mums is about 12. They get most there business from them. I've seen a few Nike and Reebok logos on the lads when out in that area with my mate.

Sounds pretty much exactly like round here.
It's the teenage mums & chavs that frequent our dive.

They havent quite go onto the sports brands round here yet but our local male chavs are currently going through the Tattoos on the side of the neck phase.
They all look awful.

We actually have one local bloke who has one half of his face Tattooed as well.
Looks like a proper thug, never been able to figure out why people would want that done.

In the three and a half years i've been back with this company, i've never once had my tattoo's on show in the main office. Was out on site the other week when the boss decided to pay a surprise visit. I was getting changed and only had shorts and a T-shirt on. I thought his eyes were going to pop out his head.

That's part of my thing as well I love tattoo's & want lots lots more but I also like them to be able to be hidden.
I love showing them off & do whenever I can but I also appreciate that working in an office environment means that they aren't always to everyone's taste & may not project the image the company wants, so I'm only going for half sleeve designs so that with a short sleeve shirt or T-shirt on they are still mostly out of eyesight.

Which is why neck & face one's just scream unemployable to me.

It made me go............





I know a girl with the rebellion tattoo, done perfectly. She is awesomely hot.

Stunning. Absolutely f-ing Stunning Sir.

Colin, may I ask your pain on the shin?

[Colin]

Shins are a doddle, calves are a bit harder, and ankles can hurt like buggery. But it's different for everyone really. In all the years i've been getting tattooed, only my right ankle caused me any real discomfort.

[Neil]

Collar bone for me was the worst, felt like my neck was being done. Pain was pretty intense at times but worth it..

My brother has said the same.

Although he did say his Spine was pretty intense as well.

The missus has one on her foot & that was apparently quite painful...all bone & no meat down there

My most painful was top of my shoulder...again I'm pretty boney so not much meat to soak up the needle point lol

I remember having the back of my elbow done.

"Oh, that was pleasant". I said. Or something like that.

[ShadowDancer]

My elbow hurt like crazy, its a strange sensation as the needle rattles the bone.

[Colin]

I think it's psychological, the noise of the needle rattling on your bone can mess with your mind. I'm not saying this in a "i'm tougher than you" way, but I thought the elbows were a piece of cake. Like I said earlier, it's different for everyone. My ex didn't bat an eyelid when she had her ankles done, and I thought they were a bugger...........

[ShadowDancer]

I agree with that Ikobo. It wasn't pleasant, but, It does mess a bit with your mind, the noise and all...it wasn't agony. My worst was across my colar bone, when I had something done when I was young. My right shin hurt a bit - that's why I asked how you felt..as I only had it done recently.

I'm yet to have a tattoo and think, no more - too much pain.

As you say, and its so true, everyone differs.

[jimmbob]

To those who have had it done. What's the inside of the arm (bicep area) like?
Both when getting inked and healing afterwards?

[John Beaulieu]

ikobo - lovely ink sir, inspiring me to get more (I fancy getting the ones on my right arm turned into a sleeve)

[fishbowlhead]

Tattoo no 2 translation finished. More Aramaic again, this time its just simply "wolf" on my left arm.

Cant wait, i get all excited at this point

[ShadowDancer]

When you getting it done, fish? I've had a few since my last few posts but no decent pics.
