Let me elaborate. I have negotiated a much better rate for my tattoos because I’m a big, noticeable, freak. You can trot out all the pretty tattoos you’d like, but in the end, freaks also work. It will make more sense when I get the rest of the pics up, but go with your imagination for now.

My left arm is the solid black you see. My right arm is…[Read more]

Most anti-climatic thread? Ouch.

The only people I’ve met with anything like it that assign it specific meaning are modern primitives. But you’d have to ask someone into that sub-culture more about it to get a good answer.

It took about 15 hours.

You know how some people are intelligent and plan out their tattoos in a carefully constructed manner with a reasoning and meaning behind them?

Yeah that’s not me. Most of my work is whatever popped into my head at the time. Now I’ve been going back and finding ways to tie my entire torso together. But as for a paticular…[Read more]

I had my throat done a week ago. Still hurts depending on how I twist my neck.

Everyones different. Unless the pain gets to the point where it interfers with your ability to use your arm correctly just ignore it. Or if it swells up like a balloon or does something else completely out of the ordinary. It just hurting ain’t a big deal.

Well if the person it’s on is happy, who cares. But to answer the question….

looks like someone walked into Hot Topic, saw a sticker that they liked, and got it as a tattoo.

It’s black though with age it does look a lot more dark blue overall then it does black anymore. Yeah I could see the waste of canvas part. With having no design or anything. But it’s something that just kinda popped into my head one day and I decided to go with it.

I’ve actually ran into a few more people who’ve done something similar. None are…[Read more]

Just put pictures of my left arm up in a different thread. For whatever it’s worth.

Yeah “if I could I would” is something a lot of people tell me about hand tattoos. Man once you hit that and the neck/head area you are officially DONE with covering them up. You better be damned commited to the body modification thing at that point.

Oh and yes, full sleeve is an understatement. I’m having pictures taken (hopefully) Tuesday to…[Read more]

Hmmm, 80% or so of my upper torso (maybe more, would need to be better at math to figure it out) is tattooed. I think I’m past the point where it could be a sticking point in a relationship. I’m also into the “lifestyle scene” (I hate that term) which means traveling for conventions, I’m required to go show off my work from my tattooist (how I get…[Read more]

I love the colors. Very “girly” for lack of a better term. Very nice.

That’s a valid counter-argument. But if you’ve got the resume or specific job skills that aren’t easily replaceable…. eh you’re still good. But yeah initially you are kinda screwed if the…[Read more]

There are 2 ways to answer this question. From your personal point of view regarding beauty or from a “gut reaction” type of view.

I find tattoos sexy. I cannot give a qualifying reason why. Much the same as why I prefer redheads or why some men prefer huge boobs or whatever your personal tastes are. So from that point of view, heavily tattooed…[Read more]

I work as a manager for Game Stop. Company policy allows for earrings, tongue rings, and visible tattoos are ok so long as they aren’t offensive. I’ve got dual sleeves, throat, and left hand done. I never wear long sleeves and no one cares. The regional director of the company came in and they didn’t even care. So I will give the company props for…[Read more]
