harv Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have a half sleeve on my upper arm designed by myself and the tattoo artist of wolves, it took various sessions and totalled about 17 hours. paying the bill hurt more though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob300w Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) Has anyone considered that in 50 years time, there will be great grandmothers tottering around Tesco's with their zimmer frames, sporting faded tattoos with the likes of "Essex Hells Angels, Bradfield Chapter" and "With Death I ride" on display?

Dunkield Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well I guess she is lucky, even if she restricted herself to meeting blokes with exactly the same initials she would still be able to pick and choose - if you know what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 It has been a subject on here many many times, but I don't think I have ever asked those with tattoo's if it is adictive? You rarely see anyone with one, once they start that seems to be it, Beckham is a prime example. Doesn't do anything for him at all, but I doubt he cares.

bignoel Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 i remember when i was younger it is addictive .only had this one as it took me 16 yrs to find my daughter her mother married her boss name change and moved out of area. but all my searching has paid off proud dad that was 3 yrs ago since i found her now he lives near me and visits 4 times a week.great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Mason Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 my old man's covered in them. apparently when he was serving in Hong Kong in the early 80's you could get free beer whilst having tattoo's or waiting for you're mates to get tattoo's. so when him and his mates where skint they used to go to the tattoo parloure rather than the bar!

M. (borrowed from elsewhere) As you take great delight in being pedantic over my spelling, perhaps you would care to explain what a "SLICON" bag is. An "AFEW" I take to be word from the darkest depths of Mersea, you know what they say about people and glasshouses...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob300w Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) If you saw the swallows that I had done 45 years ago, you would not recognise them as swallows, or much else come to that. Hopefully modern inks are more permanent. Edited August 7, 2008 by bob300w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAVAGE HMR Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 thought i would have my daughters name tattood across my shoulders last night my last tattoo was 20 yrs ago .the writeing was old englsh lettering was 3'' each from shoulder to shoulder took him 2 hrs . now how the heck did i forget how much it hurt but i did not pass out but the pain was unreal i thought he would never finish. there was a young lad watching who was going for a tribal tattoo who decided on 3 little star's after watching me get tattood. her is joanne I think a lot of the pain depends on the talent of the tattooist themselves. I've got a few tattoo's dotted around and some did hurt more than others not because of the body part I was having tattooed but because of how the tattoo machine is used. I've had work done on my back and I was in agony because the guy was raking the needle through my skin much the same as a child does with a wax crayon and a sheet of paper. But on the other hand I've had more work done on the same place that was done properly that just tickled a bit. When I got the left hand side of my head done I was in agony but I don't even think a light handed touch with the tattoo machine would have helped. It was just destined to be painful. It was strange, when I was having it done my right foot and hand kept going in to spasm and twitching. Here's a picture, it looks a bit different now cause I've had more done to it and I don't have hair any more. I had a funny turn the other night and shaved it all off, eight years of hair growth gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
