After such experiences, you still have the guts for other tattoo? You’re my hero. So, if you’ll ever make another one, what would it be?

Hahaha nah i was just an idiot!

My next tattoo is of the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland but the American Magee version should be sweet and then just carry it on into a sleeve 🙂 I’ve had a fair few since the bad experiences, got one sleeve, leg, both shoulder blades and some others on my other arm which will now be turned into a sleeve…

Having my first Sleeve (with the fabled coverup) finished in August, the commute to Somerset from Athens isn’t exactly easy haha, so just once a year if I’m lucky!

Have you got any tattoos coming up? or ideas of new ones?

The question is why would you want a UV tattoo, I have a few friends who have them. They are shit.

Just as an accent to normal ones, thats fair enough if you have seen them and they are shite, I just was asking cos I was interested but not anymore really, its a cool idea but if they look really shit then whats the point.

I’m pretty sure it’s forbidden in the EU now. Very strict rules when it comes to tattoo ink, and UV ink is just a no-go.
Clearly you need some pretty hardcore chemicals to make it light up, and the risk involved is just too big.
And don’t trust what you see on tv. I’ve seen people get tattooed while on the back of a moving jeep, off road, on tv. Doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea! ;P

Yh ok well Jackass is a bit different 😉 but ya know it is a tattoo competition show with some fairly famous people in the industry so it was easier to believe it…….

If your chosen tattooist can’t draw up your tattoo you have the wrong tattooist for the job. Sounds like the tattooist you have chosen may not be the right one for the job. where are you at we can help you find the right one?

I’m in Athens, Greece. Lonis Tattoo is just up the road they are awesome but i have been going to the same guy for like 10yrs nearly….. I sort of feel bad ya know? specially as its a sleeve and he has started….. isn’t it a bit rude to have someone else to finish it?

Really????
Just ask someone that has had it in their skin for 20 years.

oh ok, have you/ or know some that has had it for 20 years? Sorry I have never seen it in real life and thought that a tattoo forum was the right place to ask………

Um…… Can someone tell me how to upload photos?

Thanks

Thanks,

Yh well i’ll have a look but it was a while ago, I’ll post a pic of how it is now, it needs a bit more ink pushed in again to help cos the ink one person used left my skin almost like rubber! but it should show how dire it was, and in august I’m getting touch ups (I have to go to UK from Greece so can go like once a yr!) then i’ll post again and keep going till this is basically gone, there is no completely covering it but as long as he draws the attention enough, we’re all good 🙂
