[Closed] Anyone got some new Ink work? Get yer TATS ooooot

Woop! A tat* thread. Some of the finest spectator sport available on STW. 🙂

I don't have any. Too normal** you see.

** 😉 @ tazzers.

ahhh but darcy tats are as common as kerry katona...you are more niche without 'em 😀

arm and chest finished earlier this year

now got ribs and hip done (good lord that was cheeky in places!!)

many apologies for flabby tazzy bits...it's not a pretty sight, but the ink is good.

next is to continue down the leg to just below the knee (about 50 odd hours of needles so far!)

*waits for more flames than a flamey thing

That's very good work. Who's your artist and who's design?

Becky Corefield at Stigma in Chester...Let her go nuts and do as she wanted with a basic design brief. She is bloomin awesome

jeeesh that's some serious inking mate, looks awesome though, not any person's name or naked ladies in sight. Why have you uploaded a B&W pic, guessing the tat isn't?

But what's the meaning man? You can't have a tat unless it's got some super deep sentimental value. 😛 Looks good though...

Edit: Looks like blackwork to me.

Nice ink Tazz

Just checked and its been 6 months since my last one.. 🙁

tat is black and shading. only in black and white as the pic was about 2 hours after finish so was redder than a mandrills bum hole

But what's the meaning man? You can't have a tat unless it's got some super deep sentimental value

might have something to do with family heritage maaaaan, 😉

schrickvr6, an uncanny resemblance to our cat:

I didn't realise there where so many sailors using this forum

well I'm like a true representation of the current British sea forces.......as in my navel is full of discharged seamen

Whilst not of the tattooed persuasion myself, by coincidence I was listening to this song about tats earlier today, from the Dropkick Murphys (Celtic Punk band from Boston). I really like the sentiments, the narrative flow and the mixture of pride and regret.

Love the top hat cat 🙂

How do much tattoos cost up North per hour ?

I know I know it's an elephant with a curly trunk.......what do I win?

I'm thinking of a purely white tatt. Anyone got one?

Oh and tazzy I got an eccentric chainring and like it.

*faints*

Sorry Taz but that ginger birds arm looks like its been burned!!

Cool - cheers. One step closer!

That white tat is pretty cool. Just wondering what happens when you get a bit of a tan? I take it the tat remains white but stands out more because the skin is darker?

I have been thinking of another tat for a while and want something bigger but at the same time don't want it to stand out too much. White ink might be the answer.

Ahh we luv a tazzy tats thread..

pics not worky at worky 🙁

Is it too soon for [url= http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/tattoos-must-reflect-owners-averageness-2013100380051 ]this?[/url]

Love this little lot, great ink Tazz! love the japanese work too CaptainSlow. im booked in for the 4th Jan.

cost pop north depends where you go I guess! £60 per hour where I'm booked in

[img] [/img]

Even without the speeling mistake, that is hideous.

Im really in the NO crowd when it comes to tats, but that white one (that pop larkin thinks is scarring) I really like. Very subtle, you could almost miss that.
I think thats what puts me off most tats, the whole look at THIS mentality.

"I think thats what puts me off most tats, the whole look at THIS mentality."

yes but when I'm a work and suited and booted I look like every other dapper gent.That's the joy of it, it's for me to look at and know i've got it, not to run around half naked for the world to see (jeebus I would never do that to the world!)

Tats, piercings etc... are also a good filter for dealing with folks, if they are going to be a but arsey about taking to a baldy bloke with ink work and bits of bone shoved through his face, they're not the the kind of people I'd want to associate with anyway. It saves all the awkward social stuff when you have to talk to and deal with people you despise 🙂

I got this a few months ago as my first and loved it. Now I need more. Thinking some kind of leg half sleeve to go with this, a shipwreck and some other stuff will be added whenever my mate is free to draw up a design and get me booked in! Theres no real meaning behind it other than I thought it was fun! Looks better now its healed as well.

Wouldn't mind some things on my arms in that awesome traditional Steve Byrne style.

Edit - and yes I'm aware it only has 7 legs before someone says it, its not exactly an accurate depiction at any rate 😛

[i]It seems to me that it is you that is making assumptions about people in order to decide whether or not you like them.[/i]

Yeah, when you only read one sentence of what Tazzy wrote!

C'mon, Like likes Like eh..

I rather like Tazzys attitude (and others here) to Tat's, clearly not for me but I admire the craftsmanship and the wearers ability to carry them off.

All good.

We are not all M&S wearing boring farts.. 😀

*waits for more flames than a flamey thing

Very ipressive work, seriously.

However i've never undertood that if I wore a shirt with that pattern, everyone would tell me what a bad shirt it was, but turn it into ink and it's cool.

Not trolling, or flaming, just curious.

Chocolate octopus?

Cbmotorsport- I like the design as an art piece so would happily have it on a t shirt etc...the flat design before it was drawn onto me looked awesome and would have it framed in the house. Each to thier own really. Good thing my tattooist is good at drawing nice piccies as she's designing the logo for the 2014 ssuk champs

Yeah, when you only read one sentence of what Tazzy wrote!

Ohhh SSUK 2014 includes a Tat's contest.. 😯

Well the original artwork for the logo will be one of the prizes and there will be a prize for the most un singlespeedy singlespeeder..so looking like a normal may well win you something groovey!

Mrs Yunki has been in the tattooist's chair today for the first sitting on a shoulder piece..

Nice Yunk, tattoo aint bad either, considering a bit of paisley in my dotwork arm piece.

Brave girl. Looks good tho' 😉

Nice artwork 🙂

I like the octopus hiding in the fruit bowl one.
