Time for some new ink on ones skin
A nice new canvas found on my right thigh, and a rather interesting piece decided on.
Been to Rising Phoenix in Leighton Buzzard today to see Heather about a custom piece to cover my right thigh, and my GOD she has come up with an amazing piece. Fingers crossed work starts in 3 weeks. First sitting to get the outline done, which should be about 3 hours :) SO excited :D Anyone planning some ink soon? I will be sure to post some pics of the WIP :) |
I hope you realise you could have started trouble starting a thread about tattoos ;) :lol1:
I want to get another soon, if I can afford it, got an idea of what. Maybe I'm just wimping out. |
Getting two custom designs done this thursday, having two ambigrams with my girls names. Somehtign a bit different from the norm.

Snazy, being you are a fellow clearly interested in this art, do you know of anywhere in the UK that offers Ta Moko style tattoos, i was going to have one when i was in New Zealand. However in the middle of a rugby tour it wasn't the best idea as the Kiwis were already inflicting enough pain on my body :o.

Ok somone had to say it as it is.... runs for cover:lol1: lol I would agree.......... to an extent. Pointless, drunken choices with no meaning are a bit sad lol However, things with meaning, marking occasions, for those who feel this is a good way to commemorate such things, now that I have time for :) Lisa, aaaaaaaah well, would not be the first time I have started trouble eh lol Jimmy, sounds good. Mine is a Japanese theme, with carefully chosen symbols, certain phrases and other details indicated, and a "tribute" to what my life amounts to up to this point. The things I feel are special to me :) Rob, off the top of my head, no, but I will be sure to ask about :) Someone in one of the shops must know. |

Aaaah cool, fair play mate. Look forward to seeing it. Who did the design out of interest? Was stunned watching the design develop on the paper as I spoke, it just appeared, like she was reading my mind. With her own twist on it, I could not have asked for more. Expecting the design in a couple of weeks time, then make any changes and then its time to zone out for a few hours :) |
gonna be something like this, the main colour will be cypia with pink and light blue oriental style blossoms will be 100% original and cant wait

Very nice indeed mate. Custom piece though yeah?
Im going with strong colour in this one, which makes a big change for me. But this is a special piece and all :) Just got to get some japanese text confirmed for correct translation now :) |
