Thanks for all the compliments.
I'm well pleased with it, am already thinking about what to have next 🙂

Is it a change in ink technology that allows newer tattoos (like the flower arm above) to be brighter than tattoos that look to have been done a while ago (the clown arm tattoo, for example)?

Or is it just that age dulls them?

Thegreatape got a link to those images?

This was the 3D tat that I like best.

I kept thinking about getting a 3D one of a cog and chain on my calf... dunno now.

Taz I'm trying to have lunch do I really need to see that!!!

let me guess, you were halfway through some pork scratchings and found a bit of piggy teat and then up popped a pic of my moobies.....it was like you'd licked a salty tazzy nip wasn't it...i know that gets you excitable 😉

Where would you get something like this done to a good standard?

This is mine.

Once again, HMHB has the answer.

Originally directed at that ****less halfwit Pete Doherty, but nonetheless applicable to some of the above 😉

I actually have a metallic exoskeleton surrounded by humanoid skin, so for me that would simply be a case of de-gloving the desired area, and applying a bit of brasso....

To me many tattoo's look nasty but some are art which can [url= http://www.no-miedo.com/2011/04/capolavori-del-tatuaggio.html ]take your breath away[/url]

some lovely stuff there messiah..

I'm booked in for an appointment in the middle of July.. s'gonna be one of the most aesthetically pleasing and dramatic of my tattoos..

Hopefully one of the last too.. I've not got the appropriate levels of MTFU for tattooing as I get older..

Should I run and hide?

Just run, he'll stop wheezing after about 300m and you'll be safe. 😆

I just saw this.. pretty impressive IMO.. I thought I'd add it to the thread..

I wouldn't be able to get my chubby bits off the sofa for all the gregs pasties bags and pickled onion monster munch packets pinning me in. So you could meander slowly at the pace of an asthmatic snail with heavy shopping, going up hill....and still be safe 😆

 

as a beautifully simple tribal* work I love this

* as in inspired by and based on properly identifiable tribal heritage...not some black cack drawn badly that body builders seem to favour

@ hurbum... close the thread we have a winner! 🙂

I have avery similar idea going on my foot and leg octopus on foot and light house going up the shin.

Very nice dude who done that?

Thanks Passtherizla! With the sinking ship on the inside it looks proper rad, absolutely love it!

That sounds awesome!

All of my work has been done by Neil Pengilley @ Dust n Bones in Plymouth, very talented artist.

Not really - but I love it

Hurbum- lovely work that, not my style, but lovely!

Keep getting drawn back here - some amazing tattoos, but I could never do it. And have to admit was quite sad when my daughter got hers done.

i like the the 4th full sleeve photo

I have a few tattoos,

Ship on thigh
Divers helmet and anchor
Crossed skateboards on a rose
Party dragon with a knife going through it
3/4 sleeve on left arm consisting of roses, books, candles, day of the dead skull, owl with antlers, rosettes and moths.

But I only have really bad photos, they're so bright in real life.

Mrsmith, my first laugh out loud moment of the day! Classic, thanks.

Is that a cock and balls on that dudes arse up there^^^?

Hah that's what I was going to say. Ganesh's foot looks like a CDC (crudely-drawn cock in b3ta-speak). How much would those colours fade?

The one above Ganesh is just too dense imvho - you'd have to be right up close to see anything but a morass of black.

randomly discovered this today, which may interest tattooy types 🙂

Includes this type of thing

Did he realise he was getting a cock tattoo'd on his butt??!

Not until nobeerinthefridge told him three weeks ago 😉

took me twenty years to come up with something i wanted. it all has a tale to tell, be it family, friendships, cancer, good times on the beach and having to fight as though i'm fighting a dragon. but that sounds a bit ott so it may be for good times in wales?

I'm getting something similar to this done on Saturday....
