The Tattoo Megathread vs. Tramp Stamp

have a baby jesus on the other shoulder firing some magical jesus arrows at it and killing it......or a tree throwing branches, depending on your beliefs.


@Oats - I regret none of my tats so far, i guess cuz they are easily hidden yet i can show them off if i want to. I ususally give myself ATLEAST 3-4months to ponder over my next tat and ill talk to some friends to see what they think. But all in all its gunna come down to what YOU want to see on your body.
 
I need some tattoo advice

My favorite band in the entire world is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. If you play a snicket of any song of theirs I will be able to name it and they are such a big influence in my life. I really think I want a tattoo of their logo but I don't know where to get it. I feel like if I got it somewhere like my wrist I would regret it when it's time to get a full-time job so I need some advice on where might be a good location to get it so it will look good but somewhere that if I want to hide it, I can. I was also thinking about getting it done in white ink so that if I did want to get it in a noticeable location, it wouldn't be too obvious. Here's a link to what their logo looks like
Thanks a bunch!
Love & peace,
Ben

Merging with the tattoo mega thread.

And i might talk to some actual tattoo artists about the white ink thing. It wont stand out at all on certain skin types.
 
So, just for shitzengigglz, I'm thinking of getting one of my big toes turned into a shark.
Nothing complicated, just a simple little sketch.
Do you think it'd be difficult to find an artist to do something like that?
 
i don't see why it would be even remotely difficult finding a willing tattoo artist
 
A question

I had a tat about 18 years ago a nice little half smily Face Half skull the smiley bit was yellow n the skull black.

It was done at a reputable place that still around just in a different area.

Well what i wanna know is if any of you who have had ink for a while have had the colour fade , on mine the yellow has gone all together n the black could def. do with a bit of touchoing up.
I',m not that bothered because the tat is out of site , on my shoulder .
Just wondered if if this is common for tats to fade drasticlly over a number of years ?

I have no plans to get inked again as i think it so common these days that if you wanna stand out or wha not ypur better of with out ink .
Also in England ink has kinda of become really popular with a certain type of person that i don't want to be asscociated with oh n i'm an old fart as well ;)

I still appreciate good body art mind but that is not so common its more i've got ink on my neck look at me i'm cool , n we all know when you try to hard ....
 
i was thinkin bout gettin a wrist tattoo but the veins on my wrist (inner, right below the hand) are kinda close to the surface and im wondering if it might be a bad idea.. but i refuse to get my tat elsewhere, so.
 
Its so hard finding a nice colorist :(

Ive been searching for a while to find the best color artist to do my lotus flower. Either theyre too expensive, or too grungy. Oy.
