Tattoos are SOOOOO personal, I can't pass opinion on what someone else has (butterflies and flowers are a bit girly though, aren't they? )
even when they are moths? and when the flowers have lightning coming out of them?

good question Phil... Its discrimintation based on colour of skin essentially unless you have rude words/images.
well shibby has a right to employ who he wants and doesn't need to state the the tattoos are the reason for not employing somebody.. could just say 'found a better candidate' for example.
i'm more interested in finding out if he'd fire an outstanding employee if it turned out they had inky arms or they got a tattoo a couple of years after starting working for him
not trying to get him to admit to breaking employment law or anything, jsut trying to find out how strongly he feels about them!
would you ask them to wear a long sleeve top to work, or would you fire em?
I wouldn't give a job to a man that is planning to still be wearing the same tie in 40 years time, I think it shows a distinct lack of foresight and adaptability.
Even if it was this one?
normally i wouldn't ever employ somebody who wears a tie, but if they turned up to an interview with me in what is essentially an office based zoidberg costume i'd hire them on the spot.
*its this kinda business sense that means shibby will want to hire me, i jsut know it*
Out of sight, out of mind. But if an employee wore short sleeves and displayed tattoos, I'd ask him to cover them.
If he wouldn't, I'd find a way of sacking him. Or just bully him until he quit.
I generally think it's possible to spot a tattooed person anyway, they tend to be a bit thicker than average, so it's highly unlikely they'd be working for me. Same with gingers.*
*None of this is particularly true, but I might as well give the STW How Very Dare He Squad something to wring their hands about.
ha ha...
designing a full sleeve to cover some heavy black work from 20 years ago, will be solid black from shoulder to elbow with Polynesian work down to the wrist.
Once healed the solid black will be carved to have fresh scar tissue to mimic the work lower down the arm.
you know everyone always says to get a tattoo done by someone they know, has recommendations from etc... well what if what you want is a really simple design, that anyone worth their salt couldn't get wrong?
there's a place near me, and i'm keen for a tattoo, but i don't know anyone who's got one from there. their work looks pretty good, fwiw...
Love the Mint Sauce tattoos ashthesplash, any chance of some better pics?
Fairly unrelated to anything else but i'm really enjoying Thomas Hooper's work at the moment. Though no doubt just like tribal bands/tramp stamps/big gothic letters/sailor jerry (give it a year), it'll look horrendously dated in a decade or so.

So be individual and use your imagination.

So much I could say, so difficult to not sound like king of the cliche.
Each to their own never rang more true though.




If I can find someone to do the artwork for this and I can decide on size and location, I can see it being the next one.

I love Picasso, never really got the bullshead till recently. Years ago We saw it in the Picasso Museum were my art tutor was frothing at it's genius, I preferred the sculptures made from toys and household objects. Babboon ones in particular, they were more complex, you could decode them, see what they were built from and how the unlikely objects locked. I like the bulls head now, it's clean.
Doh
i have just realised whose toes they are in the first pic...MINE
ideally, a tattoo should compliment the form of the owners body and move/flow in harmony with the folds/curves etc.
IMO, the OP jobbies appear to be stamped in place with little thought as to where it may actually enhance overall appearance (tricky with the subject matter) - but as long as it makes you happy, that's what it's all about really.
