simonfbarnes - Memberyes, I'm proud of my scars :o) Oh yes, and the broken bones too!
i know one guy that has broken numerous bones due to biking. after the operation/the bone has healed he has had the area tattooed with a picture of a pinned bone or similar depending on what happened.
but really graphic tattoos. so where he broke his collar bone he has a tattoo of his collar bone with the pins in it. on his arm he has a tattoo where his skin is pulled back and the bone is exposed with the pins in it. the same goes for his leg, his foot and his hand.
nice bloke, but a right nutter (in a nice way).
Go on.
Any recommendations for Wrexham, Chester or Shrewsbury?
Ace Kustom in Manchester
No for the other areas.
Old guys, and gals, with tattoos look amazing when they are not ashamed of them and wear them as happily as the day they had them done.
I've always loved tattoos, even when I was a little girl. I don't regret ANY of mine, even the early ones. They were all done for a reason and I have learnt something about myself every time I go under the needle. I was warned by a tattooist about 15 years ago that:
....there is a line where you move from 'having a tattoo' to 'being tattooed' and, particularly for women, this makes you public property and people feel they have the right to judge you/grab you/challenge you on your decisions......
This has, thankfully, lessened as tattoos have increased in popularity meaning that people don't have as much fear about going under the needle. I know a lot of people dislike the rise in popularity of tattoos, but for me I see it as having improved the freedom for people to choose without excessive societal pressure.
If someone wants (and has thought deeply about having) 'a generic piece of flash off the wall' or 'something with blah blah blah meaning' then they should have it. It's their decision, no-one else's.
Cheers Andyhilton and tazzymtb, I'll pop into Rufus Court next time I'm in Chester.

that's wat my mate said at the time..... maybe i should be, easier that trying to scar a charging bull into my arm...
That's the most awesome tat ever.
I have a thing for helvetica tattoos. I'll get one done at some point.
just been looking on a few tattoo forum's.
looks like a no goer whilst taking warfain...... 🙁
I'm not a lover of tats but respect peoples views. Can't help, however, think that if someone (others know you better than i) is asking for advice re getting one or not. Then there is 'doubt'. In my book .....if there is any doubt then dont do it at the mo. If you're going to get a tattoo, it needs to be something you have NO DOUBT ABOUT WHATSOEVER!
if you want to Ton, then yes, get a tattoo
It's your body do what you want with it, but at least have some imagination. Avoid the cliches (tribal shoulder, child's names, skulls, roses, religious effigies, anything hipster like Duncan Riffle)

That's awesome loum, is there a story behind the tat?
is it just me, or is Charlotte Church a funny shape?
that was charlotte church????!!!!! really?
Yep! I'm a woman and i can see the 'funny shape' WEIRD!
maybe, I'd give it a try though. I feel it's a bt unfair to comment on her shape when there is a man with no neck sat on the couch.
no, really... i remember her being dark haired. haven't seen her in years... that is why i was surprised...
They seem very popular with Premier League footballers and hairdressers.
Tattoos are frickin amaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyzingggggg!!
Go on Ton, take some blood-thinning drugs and get some clip-art! 😀
Seriously, if you have to ask if it's a bad idea taking Warfarin and then getting someone to repeatedly inject ink into your skin, you've probably got an appropriate IQ for becoming a member of the inked community. Fill yer boots! :o)

Fixed that for ya 😉
As a guy who spent a couple of grand and a couple of very painful years having his missspent youth tatts slowly lasered off.. Only to immediately have a couple done again.
My advice would be.. ermm....
Talk to your doctor, and then to your tattooist about being done whilst on warfarin.
If 'twas me, I'd be wary of too much bleeding, as it might cause you to have trouble holding the ink adequately - you shouldn't scar too much from tattooing so it *should* be ok to have redone later, but, all else being ok about it, I'd still probably wait until I was off the medication (or the dose is reduced), rather than have it done, then need too much touching up on it, too soon after.
I wonder, idly, if the people who say they hate tattoos have ever visited the Suicide Girls website.
They have a free tour with three hundred and six pictures. Uh, I imagine.

That's quite a radical change of attitude you've got going on there shibbo, good on you. It must be quite liberating to shed the antiquated and narrow minded views that you used to carry. I don't expect you to go the whole hog and get yourself inked, but witnessing the opening of the mind is joyous.
Don't forget that only a stupid person would think that tattoos are limited to the clipart selection, there is a whole world of images that are suitable for being tattooed onto the beautiful body.
With this new attitude you are showing, I would like to welcome you to a world of beautiful people.

This is our studio of choice ,the guy usually has about a 3 month waiting list and charged £110 a session the last time we went. H was reccomended to us by another artist.

and there was I so wrongly thinking that if you were beautiful you wouldn't want to scribble all over it...

Haven't you already said that people should judge you on who you are, so the ink shouldn't be affecting your opinion in any way. Yet it does.
There's some amazing work over on [url= http://www.undefinedink.com/ ]'Undefinedink'[/url]. Some of the stuff on there is most definitely art, not some thoughtless or generic squiggle!

I said that's what I wanted, but it would appear I have no control over the matter
d45yth........... mate, some of that stuff is fantastic. 8)

That would put us in total agreement then.
Next?
