Getting inked

[WezV]

i wasnt ever worried about regretting it, but that doesnt mean i wont.  i think in the long run i would rather regret doing something than regret never getting around to doing the things i really wanted to do

That might be a very good point, Wez. I should just get a half or full sleeve and stop my worries. And if I ever regret, I'm pretty sure that someone has invented the tattoo remover  :D

Ok, made my mind up. I think. I change my mind far too much on these things but finally decided I'm ok with getting inked below my elbow. Still unsure about the whole 'unified' sleeve idea though, don't think it's me.

unified as in a whole singular work around your forearm?
i prefer the 'getting a bunch of different sh*t' look.

Yeah i've realised i like small, simple, different pieces as opposed to one big arty piece. Then again I hate most tattoos, i'm a picky bar-steward.

I got all the outline work done on my half sleeve today, it took just a little over 2 hours. I have the dragon wraped around my forearm and my artist added some dark clouds and some lightning bolts and I am really chuffed with how it's turned out so far. Quite a fair bit of the tattoo was done freehand as well which was pretty cool. There are two small gaps in the design which I'm not sure what we're going to put in there, we discussed the idea of adding some cherry blossoms and maybe a lotus flower too which would be pretty cool.

This one was more painfull than the last ones I got on my right arm but that is probably because it was a longer sitting. I'm going back once the outline has healed to get the colour and shading added. I'll try and get some pics up soonish. Very happy with how it's going so far!

I don't think I'll ever regret not having tattoos, but that's a very good point. 

I suspect, unfortunately, in 20 or 30 years I'll be an old man with lots of regrets about things I didn't do.  :(

Ok bitches lets see those tattoos again, the last thread got derailed by some Dimebag talk.

Mine are simple and I like them like that. Left arm is the cover of Aereogrammes last album, and just below my right elbow is a very nerdy reversible reaction symbol that is extended all the way round my arm. Fresh as of Wednesday.

this one is a bit out of focus.

Looks good bagermark! I like nice and simple tattoos.

As I said before, I'll try and get some pics of mine soonish. I have booked in to get the colour added to my half sleeve on thursday so I will probably wait until the colour is done until I post a pic of it. On the inside of my other forearm I have a tattoo of a treble clef with four music notes around it.

I have a couple of more planned but it will be well into the new year before I get them done.

i like things  you can see across a room, fine detail is great but he first thing to age and turn to a blur.


so i have my large lillies and  if you can see my full arm you see lilly herself ( no meaning other than liking certain shapes and women - is that not enough???)


gretchin is on my leg and i see her less but love her the same.  no meaning on this either, no-one dies and there is no LA ink story...other than the fact my logo is in the tailpiece

its a bit strange, my original idea behind a tattoo is 'i am finally able to charge for this stuff, lets get my logo as a tattoo to celebrate'.  but then i went for stuff i liked instead.....  i though my logo could date but a pretty face never will.  infact everytime i think about what tattoo i want next i struggle to come up with an idea which isnt a pin-up or other womanly figure. i have a few comic book ideas - but thyey still involve strong powerfull women

Looking good Wez and Dmoney. I really like arty tattoos.

I guess I'll not be the odd one out and I'll post pics of mine. I don't think the pictures really do them justice though, they look better when you see them in person, and it's also pretty difficult taking pictures of your own forearm.

This is the treble clef with music notes around it that I got done near the begining of the year:


Here is my japanese dragon half sleeve. Like I said it's still not completed and I am going in to get colour added this coming thursday:








The two spaces are going to be filled in with some cherry blossoms and a Lotus flower.

Some really cool stuff there. That dragon is looking good even without colour IB, it's going to look bloody fantastic when it's finished!

I had my first tatt in June, and seriously can't wait to be able to afford to go back and get more! I was warned it's addictive. I kinda took it with a pinch of salt, but my buddy wasn't lying - it is!

Cool tattoos
