    Jambourgie I’d say its a nice if odd sensation. Some parts feel like a light scratching/tickle (back of calf was like this) but others were pretty painful such as the bits near my ankle and nearing the knee/ditch. I prefer the lines to the colour being packed in as they go over the same area a few times and it gets pretty irritated! Healing feels like sunburn for around a day if that.

    It’s pretty addictive 🙂 my left shin/calf is almost covered now and I’m booked in to start a sleeve in June which I’m looking forward to! Getting it done by a guy called Robert Ashby who does brilliant black and grey work. I have the “fun” tats on my legs and the arms will be the serious stuff 😛

    permanent bodily disfiguring is “fun”?

    Apparently so.

    And many people would ask the same question about riding bikes.

    Apparently so. I find http://www.bme.com completely fascinating in a slightly disturbing way. It’s very addictive, but not for the feint hearted.

    surely that’s six fingers and flippers for feet?

    Nope, that’s Lincolnshire. Norfolk is more a random body layout generator.

    Most do not consider it disfiguring, obviously.

    Footflaps – I opened up the home page, some of the subjects scared me without even looking what they were about! Look at some of the titles under the ‘hard’ section! !!

    I think there is a line you shouldn’t cross. Face tattoos are a nono.
    Ginger beard looks like he will eat you.
    Emo kid will live with his mum until he’s 60 but on closer inspection they could be felt tip pen.

    I think it’s an endorphin thing; there’s a bit of a rush attached, kinda like doing a sudden drop-off. Which is why you get some people have more and more tats done, as they get sort of addicted to the pain/pleasure aspect of it.
    Those are a minority, though, as are those who go for the more extreme body mods. I really don’t like piercings all that much, especially facial, and that goes for tats, come to that.
    I’ve got seven tats, and only the four on my arms are really visible, the one on my leg is just about level with the top of my sock, and as it’s a line of Ogham script, nobody ever notices it. It’s a bike-specific thing, though.
    I was looking at the two ravens I’ve got laid out for my next one, and I think I’ll have it done as a Birthday present to myself, as it’s a large, significant number, and the two ravens have a very specific meaning, representing Hugin and Munin, Odin’s messengers.
    The names mean ‘Thought’ and ‘Memory’, for those who I’ve lost, and remember and think about.

    Ginger beard is awesome but glad it’s not me.

    Mine is only little but I found it really pretty pleasant, felt a lot like a deep tissue massage. Almost dozed off in the chair which apparently is Not Done, she thought I’d fainted. Ended up knocking all the scabs off a week later at a gig which was considerably less pleasant.

    You could call it disfiguration but then so is getting hit in the face by a hammer.
    I got my tattoos on a whim knowing that I wouldn’t always have the cash. Yes they are closely associated with romantic escapades and memories. I love my tattoos but there was a time that I didn’t but then dealing with that was all part of having strange doodles on my body. If I’m with my family or old people I cover them up.

    Then every time this subject flares up, like a outbreak of herpes, we can refer back to the poll and shut the thread down straight away.

    I wish you could sort out a herpes outbreak by referring to an online poll..

    I’ve had no jiggy for four days and clawed myself raw 🙁
