My first tattoo was the Bad Religion one, my favourite band and it was a fun way to annoy Christian surfer kids where I used to live + sums up my views on organised religion quite succinctly. Then I got Scientia written under it, the latin word from which Science is derived, I think it literally means "To know."

Around my other arm:

Self explanatory really but until high school biology I had no idea what I believed in. I actually just didn't think about existence at large at all. Well I used to preach satanism in class to offend students and teachers but not in a I really believed in it or painted my fingernails black kind of way. Now I'm doing a conservation biology degree.

So yeah, all life on earth is encoded in DNA, kind of sums everything up (as a naturalist materialist) for me.

I really want mega geometric tattooing done, And i will travel to Belgium if i have to.

Can anyone reccomend an especially good tattooing place in the UK? Not specifically just geometric stuff, i am just finding it hard to google search for really good tattooists.
 
I like tattoos. I think as long as it has meaning to the wearer of it, that's all that matters. Fuck what other people think. But I wouldn't personally want a lot of them, espechally in obvious places.

I want to get one on my foot of my dad's initials written inside a canoe, because canoeing was his favorite thing to do <3
 
Yep! Nice to get positive feedback!:) The guy who did that just came second in a international tattoo competition..

there's a guy here who has done a couple of my friend who does amazing geometric stuff by hand (no machine)

his style is amazing and apparently being tattooed by hand is a completely different experience than with a machine and heals far quicker.

he's based in the north east, think you can contact him via his myspace
 
Wow Herbaliser that is stunning. Like a painting in a museum, you can stand and stare at it for ages :)

Cheers dude you seem to have linked me to a community of beautiful artists!
good shit.
 
Here's a tattoo I created using PhotoShop and Picasa. Thinking of getting it done on the back of my hand.

Going to get some new, fresh ink on the 23rd, or the 24th this month when I get paid. And I cannot fucking WAIT. I've wanted to get my chest/collarbones done for SO fucking long now. But, it's still a toss up on what I'm going to get. It's one of the following:

"Abandon All Hope"

or

"None Shall Pass"

....I'm leaning more towards "NSP," because I'm emo like that.
 
I prefer "None Shall Pass", personally. I have the feeling you might regret "Abandon All Hope" later down the track.

Plus, in an artistic sense, "None Shall Pass" looks more even and asthetically pleasing :)
