[Mudslinger]

jeez man dont you get embarrassed walking around like that

you certainly look like youve got the bug for it ,as soon as i see guys who tattoo there coupons ,its normally as theve run out of space else where

i dont understand the fascination about tatts ok 1 or 2 on your arm or leg maybe looks cool but getting your eyelids/face and head done is not cool in my eyes .

suppose if you like it thats all that matters m8 but whats the gran kids going to think off you when your 50-60 and youve got your coupon covered in indian ink !!

oh and i do have a tatt , i got it done when i was 15 and have regretted it ever since ,infact im still trying to decide on something to get to cover it ,im 34 now

[OUTLAW]

i feel as though a tattoo should have a meaning behind it or mean somthing personal,..i have OUTLAW tattoo on my arm, which means a lot to me and i will never regret it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmWwZsHXhEw , only when people see it somtimes, they seem to think all sorts..and usually judge the book by its cover and fail to read the back....

[D4WNO]

I don't have any yet but I do have one planned and drawn up. I've just gotta find the right time to do it.

I've got some friends literally covered in them and for me, I much prefer when they mean something to that person. It shouldn't matter what other people think, it's not for them.

One thing I don't like though is football crests on mens legs

[Barr's Irn-Bru]

I,ve been saying I'm going to get my tattoo done. Thats over 18 years ago lol

Personal Taste is what it's all about ,Each to there own i say .

[MikeA]

The skull on your forearm looks real nice. Im obsessed with getting a tattoo at the moment but cant decide, I run a small design firm in Glasgow and there is too much pressure from peeps around me to make a 'cool' tattoo! lol

Been watching lots of Miami Ink and LA Ink ( I fancy the fook out of Kat Von D!) to get some inspiration but nothing really that great excepts Kats shaded portraits. Plus, I dont know anybody in Britain I trust though either, this is pretty cool/funny though, think its from a guy in London ( http://www.triplesixstudios.co.uk/Ne...xgallery1.html )



Im not saying i would get it but its pretty tech and nice.

[Grunge]

I only have 3 on my arm so far =[. spending money on the car atm. I think im gonna just have one sleeve done though. Ive gone for the good+evil theme like ive got a dragon and wizard on the ouside of my arm and a devil type thing on the inside and il keep it like that all way down. Il try get pics up 2night, i like your skull =]

[Schakal]

temporary holiday tattoos FTW !!!

[dgdogz]

''jeez man dont you get embarrassed walking around like that ''


nope!hahaha
i started gettin tattoos wen i was 17..im only 22 but from the moment i got one that was it...more and more and more.
most of them have a meaning...maybe somethin unimportant...but generally they are just to remeber somethin important in my life at some point.

wen im 60...if i get to that age ill be happy and hopefully wen i do ill stil have the marbles to remeber wen i got my tattoo and why i got it.

mike a- yeah the skull is real nice...shaded really well.my mate did it for me 2 years ago but sadly he died last year...he was covered too and loved it hahaha

i always say id rather regret doin it rather than not.

[raj]

ive always gone for tatoos that really mean something.

on each hands ive got the names of the villages my mum and dad came from in panjab.

on my inner right forearm ive got panjabi writing which would translate to "tiger of panjab.(shere panjab). ive got this because this is where my heart trully is.

on my outter right forearm ive got italic english shaded writing which says "romance" i got this as i love romancing

on my right upper arm ive got -
a khanda which is a sikhism symbol, below this is another sign which is called "ek um akar" and below this ive got the outline of the indian continant with the indian flag within it. around all of the above is a spikey tribal-ish design which i got as my arm got wider ove the years making the tattoos look smaller.

on my left upper arm ive got the face of an aggresive tiger. ive got this as i do my homework/(tiger stalk prey) before going on the attack. of course i have to be prevoked.

on the right side of my neck ive got a black dragon. i got this because im full of fire/anger. not literally fire lol.

on the left side of my neck ive got the word "Panjabi" in itallic english lettering. ive got this because errrm im panjabi, i had this done in engish text as i was born here.

[OUTLAW]

big up! shere punjab, my next tattoo is of the cross kukri knifes, as i have a gurkha family background. (british army) along with some others....i have in mind

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

I was thinking of a chain around my ankle, maybe a mini circle of all the 5`s in the range...., damn my dreams are stupid...

[Adam L]

I remember I always wanted one when I was in my teens, then I slowly started going off them when I turned 22, now i'm another year older, I could never desicrate my skin with a tattoo. I don't care if it does mean something, i'd rather keep that something to myself than people gauping at it.

[dgdogz]

next one i get is on my face in uv ink
same design as my mate who died
but only difference is its in uv and invisible until under blacklight

[ollyhock]

last time i was in the tattoo shop they were talking about uv ink and they said there's a massive chance of getting some form of cancer from it they won't touch the stuff.

tatts are well addictive now, i've always drawn my own up and pay by the hour which costs bucks but its so addictive

[clee]

True, true ...
I must be getting old but it irritates me

[Sparkie]

i just stick with being hairy.

hard to imitate, costly to replicate,....and warm too.

[Adam L]

[dgdogz]

hahaha
yeah the uv ink is cool
well for a long time i wouldnt go near it but it now has approval from the fda.
it has to be made with pmma...cant mind what it stands for but its a chemical name anyway.
hahaha

raj i dont think there is a register but if u google some of the studios near by they should have some ratings and comments from previous customers

portrait work is really cool...but real expensive

i think for a good good portrait u should pay anyless than 300/400 quid.
im only basing that on prices up here though as im quite involved with the tattooing thing

maybe down ur end itl be cheaper

[Adey aka Ewok]

lol agree, tho i have got a tat on my fore arm

[D4WNO]

...which you can barely see through the hair!

[Adey aka Ewok]

REAL men are hairy

[Sparkie]

Dawn,

scientists have to keep me and Adey apart, else the static from all our hair might create a hole in the fabrix of space and time, should we actually get within a few metres of each other.

[D4WNO]

PMSL, I'm staying well away from you 2...my hair will go frizzy

Mark, I just thought, what happens when Mart walks by?

[raj]

[raj]

REAL men are hairy

really? in that case ive got a hairy bellend

[Sparkie]

really? in that case ive got a hairy bellend

i did have it there too, but the hair got worn off, along with the stuff on the palm of my hand.

[wrightygtt]

I haven't got any tattoo's, never been a fan to be honest.

[turbonick84]

New poster! (less than 10 posts)

I have a Rocky Marciano portrait on my arm, big boxing fan, especially fighters from the 40's - 60's. Please excuse my drunken friend in the photo, he was trying to suggest that i had a portait of him tattood on my arm.




Went all the way down to Barnsley to get it done. A chap called Nigel Kurt, he specialises in portraits, i think it turned out pretty well. It has 49-0 underneath which you can't see in the photo.

[Karlos]

Mine rocks all.....Jamie and the Magic Torch.

[J$£5GTT]

REAL men are hairy

so are ferrets my friend!

here's my WIP

[dgdogz]

kl stuff
funky tribal

[twallwood]

ive got about 60 hours worth, only a few of mine have any meaning behind them, i just think they look cool.
and if the only thing im worrying about aged 60 is what my grandkids think of my tattoos then i'll be fairly happy.
dont think i'd ever go onto my face, and even tho uv ink is invisible in normal light, i'd be worried about scarring being visible. not much of a big deal considering you've got your head done already tho i guess!
and fairplay on getting your eyelids done, makes me cringe thinking about a needle going anywhere near my eye!

[dgdogz]

well iv seen the finished result of the uv tattooing
it only really scars if ur not so good with the aftercare or the tattooist is too heavy handed.

who knows...al upload some pics on wednesday after i get it done
hahaha

i cant remeber how many hours ive spent bein tattooed but i remeber my leg was all in about 16...so id guess if i added it all up it be around your mark 60/70/80


im really not sure

[dgdogz]

jus found another pic of my tattoos which is quite clear...this random student girl approached me in the street and she was doing a study on tattoos and blah blah

anyway here is a couple of the pics she took for her portfolio

turns out she passed and the photos were forwarded to a gallery somewer in the states were they either got sold or are still up
hhaha






got my uv tattoo on my face the other week
it has healed down pretty well and ill get pics up asap

[D4WNO]

You're not scared of the old needles are ya!?

[raj]

You're not scared of the old needles are ya!?

must say, its an adiction when you have one you need and want more! well this is the case with me, i cant stop but im taking my time to think about what i want next. i dont get tats on the spare of the moment meaningless type thing.

[dgdogz]

nah im not too fussed with needles...i do piercing and stuff so its nothin really

i get tattoos for both reasons..meaningful and for the design/artistic point

[scratcher]

Its well funny that someone out there may have bought a photo of you naked. You're kind of a porn star

Have you got a clearer pic of those dice? It looks good man
