I work in a “professional” setting and I do see tattoos becoming more tolerated in the business world. Cute little tattoos are becoming almost like ear piercings IMO and they are perceived as more of an accessory then art. I don’t ever see moderate to heavily tattooed people ever becoming fully accepted. The problem being the actual act of body modification itself. If I had a penny for every time some ignorant person said to me, boy you must really like pain or been told I should not have “mutilated” my body when they see just a small amount of my tattoos. As long as that is still associated with an “alternative” lifestyles for lack of a better term, I don’t see the professional world being able to look past that.
That is f’ed up, takes some serious balls though to rip off another artist on TV.
Never heard of it, but yea as others have said, doesn’t sound right to me.
Even if it was “deeply” discounted because you are sitting that long, that is still way too much of a discount to sound like the work would be good, and I don’t think I would put my body thru that even if it was legit.
Thanks GrayCatLove and horsegirl 🙂
mrchen, thanks for the picture comment on my half sleeve, actually getting just a tad bit more work on that when I go in this month. Unfortunately my leg does have work of several different people, the cherub and knot where there already so my artist did what she could to incorporate it into the piece, wish she could have started with a clean slate, but I think she did a good job with what she had to work with. Not sure if that is what you are referring to, or something else.
Wow, 5 german shepards D3FIANC3, they are awesome dogs and it is pretty cool that you have 3 tattoos related to them. Cats are my favorite animal, but I’m an animal lover all around, if it wasn’t for living in a condo and already having cats I would love to have a dog.
lol, yea, that
My husband’s 80 year old grandmother has started to talk to me about wanting to get a tattoo, which I happen to think is pretty damn awesome. I don’t think there is ever a “too” old.
Very pretty.
Finished! Kind of…my artist pointed out with one side of the ankle done it looks a little lopsided and I agree, so going back this month to get some camera film added to the other side of my ankle, and I plan to eventually take this up my entire leg. So if anyone is interested in the somewhat finished product:
Congrats! 😉 Once the swelling goes down and once you can switch the bar over to a shorter one it will feel a lot better. Are you dissolving ice in your mouth to help with the swelling?
More work done today, another crappy picture. Need to get better pics. Another cat portrait added, this one wraps around the back of my leg, hard to get a picture that does not look akward, also had my preexisting ankle tattoo reworked, the knot was there, she added in the torn parchment around it. One more cat portrait to go than finishing touches.
Really beautiful! Would love to see it when finished
Thanks msmercury, nice to see another person from Maryland here 🙂
Ugh, they showed this being done on, I think national geographic’s “Taboo”. Eye stuff has always freaked me out and for some reason I forced myself to watch it, made me want to vomit
That’s cool Adler, overall as long as I’m in love with it, that is all that matters, but thanks for congrats 😉
I think I’ll enjoy watching this show a bit more now that the blonde girl is gone, overly sensitive whiney females just get on my nerves.
