[Closed] Tattoo time again?

bit of space round the back, thinK a smaller sugar skull based on the skull of a rottweiler will be going in there...

also notice how I haven't asked for opinions
Very wise.

couldn't help yourself could you 😉

nice 🙂 might take some photos of my right arm... can't ask people to excuse the podge as it was there before christmas 🙁

Looks like Justin Hawkins is a fan of Yamaha synths looking at his arm...

with the baby being so demanding and ill, and my mums cooking over xmas and having nearly a month off, i put on 19 lbs 😳

and the Owl is lined up right I have my arm twisted funny in tht shot

no chance of taking a good photo of my arm whilst i'm at work. will have to enlist mrsconsequence's help later

I just LOVE tattoos, especially those really infantile desperate-to-be-part-of-a-niche pseudo quirky humourous ones that will look even more completely ridiculous in 20 years time when the ink has faded into an unrecognisable amorphous blob on sagging, wrinkled skin.

I'm also a dab hand with Photoshop, so happy to help... In fact, why don't you let me give you a job and I'll train you up on how to do it yourself? 😉

I find myself thinking no, it looks #@+=ing awful and does not make up for your lack of personally more and more these days.

awww Vinte, you need more friends... the bigger the comparison group the quicker you'll realise its the people without tattoos who tend to be lacking in personaility 😉

i'll be your friend if you can handle being friends with someone who might have differing opinions on what's important in life 🙂

that's me out then.. 🙁

I wouldn't even consider giving someone that is different to me a positive remark.. let alone a friendship to lean on..

or a job interview..
'tis the only way to be in this life isn't that right shibboleth..?

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.

By the same token, I would overlook someone stupid enough to indelibly inscribe a hackneyed piece of clip art onto their skin.

Tattoos are SOOOOO personal, I can't pass opinion on what someone else has (butterflies and flowers are a bit [i]girly[/i] though, aren't they? 😉 ) - so it amazes me that someone would ask opinions on their tats on a (non-tattoo) web forum..

(My wifey has tattoos, I don't)

do you not think this is a welcoming face for your customers shibby?

*Sees business opportunity selling advertising space on face.*
Thanks.

i'm gunna sell the rights to tattooing my whole back, probably to tescos. i'll never see it and they'll pay me millions no doubt.

*bets shibby is impressed with my business sense, thus proving his assumptions about tattooed people wrong*

[i]they'll pay me millions no doubt.[/i]

maybe not millions, but every little helps, eh?

You see, this is more like it. A bit of business acumen. Philconsequence, I'm in.

That blokes tats do a good job of distracting from the rest of his face

😆

millions dammit, if not tesco then google or shibbys company

EDIT - Vinte you can secure my left bum cheek (saving the right one for a portrait of shibby) for £5k worth of shares in Costa Cruise Lines and 3-5 photos of boobs of your choosing.

philc gets sponsored by a well know lycra manufacturer;

By the same token, I would overlook someone stupid enough to indelibly inscribe a hackneyed piece of clip art onto their skin.

You wouldn't even realise I was tattooed if you met me.

there was a bloke on telly the other night who had 'Your Name' (sic) tattood on his bum.

The sole reason for this appeared to be so he could run up to people say "I bet I've got your name tattoo'd on my bum - what is it?" and then when they told him he'd moon the tattoo at them and run off laughing.

I want him as a friend

shibby, a question for you...

if somebody arrived for an interview with you, smartly dressed, freshly cut hair, excellent references, warm and welcoming personality and good looking, but with slightly sticky out ears or something to reassure you you're still sexier than them, no visible tattoos.... perfect for the job.

would you ask if they had any tattoos in the interview?
would you hire them?

then if 6 months down the line, after the probation period is over and they have all the normal employment rights etc, they came to work ina short sleeve top which revealed a tattooed arm... would you ask them to wear a long sleeve top to work, or would you fire em?

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?

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.*

[i]*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.[/i]

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.
