I'm running out of room legs being done now, arms done blah blah but I tend to keep my ink hidden, to many people love to stroll around with one t shirt sleeve rolled up on a cold day to show off a tiny tattoo and act the big man.

People tend to judge me alot to, not that I'm bothered narrow minded feckers

Here's some pics a bit old now though

Ribs are weird, some of mine was like being poked in the ribs constantly, some tickled & some just fecking cained.. lol.
We were talking when I had my latest piece done & were wondering what the most painful place could be, we decided palms or soles of the feet, closely followed by the ribs..

Didn't your head hurt?

I nearly got pissed on him once at work, he was going on about whilst stood at the urinals, I said I don't care and don't believe you, he swung round still pissing to show it off I ran the other way... Lucky I'd just finished

lol palms is by far the worst if every tattoo was the same as a palm tattoo i for sure wouldnt get another.
head wasnt bad.some bits made the eyes water but not that bad.i always go back to comparing things with the ribs and palm lol
some people sit great getting tattooed on the ribs...i definately dont lol
i want a wee thing on the soles of my feet just to get rid of the wonder more than anything else.i know a guy who has the full of his soles tattooed in...serious stuff.

Who's that?

A guy called Leo in Croydon
Timebomb-tattoo.com

A couple of mates have been there and recomended him.

I'm going for a full A4 sized piece on the ribs.

Interesting....I always avoided tattoo's and one of the reasons is the white patches...same as you got. Does this not affect the colouration of the tattoo's? Like....painting a car you can affect the final finish by changing the colour of the primer. The skin its on is a different colour.

You probably know already but your immune system is over-active and attacking the pigmentation of your skin... keep it out of the sun cos it burns dead easy!

The Halo Nevus doesn't like the sun for sure, goes pink (& burnt) then back to white again, which looks real good when you have a tan :scared: :) .
Only on one part of a piece on my shoulder seems to be lighter, but I try to avoid going over the white patches if I can help it.

That's smashing :) I've got a tiny set of crossed pistons under my chin... Bout the size of a 10p piece... Ill post a pic later. The tattooing over white patches is generally varied ion every person... We've had folk in and advised them it may look different when healed and low n behold its turned out fine. It's really their call. Same with tattooing over scars and stuff.
