[Closed] Tattoo time again?

anyone got a keyring I could borrow...?

😉

Like a lamb to the slaughter......

Keyring??

Tattoos are not to everyone's liking, but it's my body and my choice!

That is Mint!

Tattoos are not to everyone's liking, but it's my body and my choice!

Yup, it certainly is.

But it is also other people's opinions which you are inviting by asking [i]"Let me know what you think of what I have so far..."[/i]

That is a fair point... But isn't the saying "if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't say it at all"

Really neat ink! I like that very much indeed. Don't forget the Love Squadron and Summer as well.

I like those.

Always fancied a 'Mint' tattoo:
I love the aesthetics and the fact that it seems to embody something I've enjoyed for most of my life.

Where did you get them done, if you don't mind me asking?

But isn't the saying "if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't say it at all"

Yup, it certainly is.

Which is why I didn't say anything.

The guy I use is the owner of Royal Ink in leamington spa (Steve batt)

He is the only one I will let do any of my mint sauce tattoos, he has done such a good job on them

Ta for the info ash.

Oooh, you passive aggressive little scamp, you.

+1 for summer. I seem to remember one with a nice poemy type thing about endless summers coming to an end and sadness and memories and excitement for the next one etc etc. Would be nice, but maybe too big for a leg.

As an aside, I'd like a half sleeve, but can't decide what I want. Nothing tribal, probably not japanese but quite simple. Any suggestions? (currently have large stars up both triceps)

I've always liked the smiley death..

Or there's always room for a little harrison somewhere.

Copyright theft?

"""Is there anyone well trained on photo shop to create a flattened out version o my current tattoo and introduce the missing characters?"""

I dont mind doing this, who do I send the bill to?

I'm speechless.

Your legs look really greasy

I hear Mrs Toast is handy with the old photoshop, she has produced some real works of art for folks in the past.

You know you can get T-shirts printed right?

there's lots of room on the leg 😈

full leg sleve of trees and mountains and trails.... do it! 😀

[i]"if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't say it at all"[/i]

You are really new here aren't you?!

oh and by eating more cake you can increase the area available for tattooing dramatically.

*starts planning my dinosaur sleeve*

*eats more cake*

My favourite bit is the random set of toes in the top left hand corner of the first photo - was someone lying under the bed?

Strangely bent toes them

His body, his choice. We are all here for a finite time and we don't have to account for the condition of our body at the end of our term, unlike a hire car.

I do feel that tattoo's should be kept highly personal though (i.e. to ones self not on public display).

The only good tattoo I've seen not so long ago was Justin Hawkins crotch flame tattoo! [img] ?zz=1[/img]

I think his pants are on fire, hence the slightly pained expression on his face.

[edit] changing the pic is cheating!

[img] [/img]

This one!

i've had a fair old chunk of my leg done and there's still space for a good a3 bit of paper's worth of ink i could still fit on there....

I'm impressed that you also tattooed on a pair of pants.
I might do that too, and save on all that rummaging around in the morning for the least smelly pair.

I did think it was 3 people all with very similar tattoos on both their legs to start with 🙁

All personal choice at the end of the day. Personally I don't have any at all and its never appealed to me. Well, I do have one tattoo, the large American bald Eagle on my chap with its claws clutching my balls.

😀 i wont take a photo, but the tattoo on my lower stomach (same position as hawking up there) makes it look like my penis has wings when i lie on my back or spend too much time thinking about boobs

Suggestion : Don't do a blue green background for the next tat cos it looks like a big bruise.

I hear Mrs Toast is handy with the old photoshop, she has produced some real works of art for folks in the past.

I've actually created stuff for friend's tattoos. They were a bit rubbish though, no rainbows or spokey dokies. Which reminds me, I need to contribute to 4xj's lifeboat plea! 😀

Have at it, there is room on those legs for the rest of the Disney cast.

[list]I think ****oos are generally a bit sh1t, your Mint ones look OK, but I wouldn't have the green/blue blobby mess for a background....

"if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't say it at all"

that's a shit saying.

I can explain the shinyness of my leg, it had bepanthan (spelling?) which yes is a nappy rash cream, but is also amazing for tattoo healing too

who's toes have you stolen?

Think that's my gfs toes... But I cant explain where she was

[i]Let me know what you think of what I have so far...[/i]

[i]But isn't the saying "if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't say it at all"[/i]

So you want peoples opionions but only if they're positive.

Okay then, I'm positive that I think they look awful, but its your leg.

Love the random toes in the top pic though.

I like them, nice job. I'm currently looking for a Pink Floyd full sleeve design, can't for the life of me find one I like, been looking a few months now. Might put my focus elsewhere.

[i] i wont take a photo[/i]

I have the strangest... (with apologies to DD!)

. . . or the hand puppet (the name escapes me at this time of night)

Sooty? 😉

Question:

Why do people who don't like tattoos always feel the need to comment negatively on those that do?

We don't feel the need to comment on your skin.....

😛

speak for yourself PP, i think they're all boring when naked! probably got houses with no furniture or pictures on the walls, empty photo albums hidden away in the loft for fear of being judged about having an artistic preference.

Because the OP posted pics on a public forum and asked for an opinion?

🙄

Strange comment. But you will note I have neither posted pics or asked for your opion on my skin. Which is lovely, by the way 😉

this thread is all a bit defensive.

[i]Question:
Why do people who don't like tattoos always feel the need to comment negatively on those that do?[/i]

because, and I quote the OP, '[i]Let me know what you think of what I have so far...[/i]

But your question was a bit stupid as in effect you asked 'why do people who don't like something say they don't like something when someone asks them if they like said 'thing'.'

I've never seen someone post a picture of an area of their skin without a tattoo on it and ask for a critique.

Maybe if someone did we'd know if people will comment on 'just skin' as opposed to 'skin with some ink in it'?

show me your skin, i like skin

I'm neither pro nor anti tattoo, but I can't help feeling a bit sorry for people who've been right into it for ages now they're so common.

On a recent trip to a 'fun' swimming pool with the kids I wondered how long it would be before birth certificates are done away with, as it now seems to be the law that you have your childrens' names tattooed on your skin.

a bit of thigh for you philconsequence;

😆

yay tattoos! I'm in tomorrow afternon for some more background on my sleeve... I also have my sons name tattooed on me but its small and on a big rose.

mrsconsequence is getting 3 things done next friday, unfortunately my idea of arrows pointing to her boobs wasnt one of her choices.

"if you haven't got anything positive to say, don't say it at all"

that's a shit saying.

It is, because isn't it meant to be:

'If you can't say it with flowers, then don't say it at all'

that's a shit saying as well. 😆

does she have three boobs???

well.... does she? 2 pointing towards her boobes and th other pointing the other direction surely!? 😉

😆 🙂 @ bob

3 whole boobs?! a man can dream 😀

*dreams*

Total recall comes to mind

*opens Paintshop*

*finds philc pic*

*Googles Total Recall*

Back to topic... Thinking the death lying down on the grass should be my next one

If your gonna get a new tattoo may as well get one of the 'big three' .

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

you don't want to have any circular saw accidents with that last one.

I know someone who's knuckles proclaim him to be very fond of 'HAT'

I have always thought "hate" should be on the knuckles and "love" tattooed on the fingertips.

I'm continuing the mint sauce theme!... Nothing else

yeah top of left shoulder, its already a 3/4 length sleeve... as in the tats have gaps but the top 3/4s of my left arm is covered, I'll post another pic... hold up.
