What do you reckon Snazy?
 

Went under the needle for a couple of hours today and had my new baby's name done. I thought it would hurt like hell on the collar bone but Rob (the tattooist) has some new guns that run off air rather than the old style electric job's. He reckons 50% less pain and 50% quicker healing. Not having any colour just black and grey shading.

Another 2 hours should see it finished. Yours is looking good fella, just need to get some colour in it :thumb:

That style lettering looks great.

Looks like your head is attached to you collar bone by some elastic, is this something new that they are testing whilst doing tats now?

Funny guy :lol1: I have a weak neck from the G's the scoob pulls around bends, the cord keeps it upright....well in one direction anyway.

looks good so far mate:thumb: you wait till he colours it in :eek: nnaaahhhhhhhhhhh your be ok :D

Pain was no were near as bad as I thought, he is shading with grey so should be ok pain wise. The new guns make a big difference. The ones under my arms hurt much more. Booked in for the 13 of June as he is fully booked till then.

Very Nice .................................

F@ck off Pete............................

:lol1:

andy, looks good fella. im thinking about tattoo design as something i could do in the future. got about 8-9 people in scunny with my one off designs on them thus far.

Sounds like a plan Andy, try calling into a few places and see if they would be interested in your work.

Pete after 3 years I have seen the light and added you to my blocked users.....you really are a sad little pr!ck with no life.

Lookin good mate :D
Look forward to seeing the shading mate. I give it the seal of approval lol.

Cant wait for my next session. They say fatty areas can hurt the most strangely enough.

Oh yeah, and I agree.... pete, feck off :D

Cheers mate :) not had any leg work so I'll take your word for it. Keep the pic's coming.....to piss off Pete if nothing else.

Leg is feck all pain really, probably the least sensitive place I have had done yet. :)
Can take a few hours without any big fuss :)

Hence planning the other side now.

I will indeed keep the pics coming, but its ok I have Pete under control :D

Friday the 13th. I hope you're not superstitious

Looking good so far:thumb:

Im booked for 2 weeks time whatever date that is lol
Later in the evening this time, hopefully I will get there in time this time and get a full sitting in :D

Just another date so not to worried mate. Wish I could get a sitting in two weeks, thats summer for you. I normally go in the winter months as they are not as busy. 6-8 weeks wait is norm.

looks cool . im getting similar but with doves instead of roses :)

still got 12 hours to go on my sleives though first lol

Very nice mate, love negative star's.

Do love that design :D
Trying to avoid "noticable" tattoo's at the mo, but who knows, one day eh lol

Cant wait to see that finished

If it hadnt have been for cotton eye joe, I'd be married a long time ago... Serious redneck material above!! :eek:

I gather you got the name of your kid just in case you forget it, in which case, based on the chosen location of this disfigurement, should you not have had it done in reverse so you can read it in the mirror??? :confused:

The mind boggles...

Not agreeing with someones choices is one thing, but to just be offensive about it. Im not sure if that rude, ignorant, or as you suggest, insecure.

If you dont like tattoo's thats your choice, but all this "judging" people is somewhat uncalled for.

David Beckham, a truely insecure scummy inbred im sure. As for the Maori, again, what an insecure bunch.

Generally a tattoo is a personal thing. A name of a loved one would be a tribute to them, deeply personal, and I think it's kind of admirable, to love one so much (especially a child), that one would tattoo their name on their own body. To say is it in case you forget the name, is being a tad silly. Just my opinion though.

So parents who don't get their children's names scrawled on their bodies don't love them as much?
IMHO the money would be better spent investing in their future & education.

Where did I say that? I simply tried to give, what I thought was a reasonable explanation as to why people would do this, obviously someone who isn't into tattoos, isn't going to get one, I never claimed that means the love for another is less. If a person doesn't agree with tattoos, that's fine, I wouldn't go out and insult them for that, just as much as those who don't understand the reasons people get them, or for that matter think they are horid, are entitled to that view, but it doesn't have to be put across in an offensive manner.

The debate over tattoos will rage for ever.

Is most of the pleasure derived from choosing what to have done rather than the wearing of it?

I'm genuinely interested, as something I chose to wear 5 years ago I would not wear today (not because I'm fatter either!) - but because I have moved on ........... I do wonder what happens when you get 'tired' of something so permanent?

Maybe roses on a mans chest will not be seen as acceptable, cool, or fashionable in 5 years time? Just a thought.

Ok so 'scrawled' was a bit strong ;)

I'm not against tattoos on the whole (definatley against them on the hole though!) I just don't get the whole name thing.

Obviously they are just having a lovers tiff at the min.

Now THATS better!!!! :lol1:

I approve :D

lol @ the photoshop.

Pete, ok I will be serious for a moment, there is "something" about the experience of having it done, certainly for me. Might be something to do with the addiction. Maybe.

As for what people do to show respect and love to family and loved ones. While it costs money, the same could be said about other spending of others.

OK, I will be serious too .... and ask ....

If there was a way to have the same tattoo, but it not be permanent (maybe lasting about 5 years and then fading to nothing), would that appeal to you more than the 'one shot' offerings?

I was wondering whether the tattoo could be done at a depth which would fade as the skin replaced itself?

It a genuine thought of mine.

sorry to butt in.

yes pete, there are tattoos you can get which last approximately 2-5 years. not too knowledgeable on them, but i know of their existance and they are quite popular. a downside is they tend the smudge and look worse far quicker than a conventional permanent tattoo.
