Another Norn Iron member!? 😀

Hi Carrie! Welcome to the forums!

Just looked at your tattoos, all very nice 😀

It’s very nice and all, but wouldn’t you like to add something to it to make it your own and more original?

If I didn’t have my cross I would go for a space sleeve as well, I think it looks amazing.

I think this one is just superb though.

I remember the design I brought to my artist had perfect straight lines that would wrap around my forearm, he told me if wouldn’t work because of the same reasons you gave, OP. It’s not just you it’s everyone. Most armbands you see on people are like barb wire or tribal stuff which you can get away with.

I would go with the gasses first, then make the planets really colourful. I don’t know why, I just imagine it looking weird the other way around.

Do it like a comic book strip, that would look cool.

I tried to tip my artist on my first and last session out of 4, and he said don’t worry about it. He knew I sold my PS3 just to get the last bit of cash I needed to pay for it, maybe that’s why? But I don’t make a lot of money and my tips were pitiful, I probably offended him!

Those tattoos suit you very well, cool stuff. 🙂

Looking awesome. I too would like to see both sleeves together as I’m going for a colourful sleeve while my other one is just plain black lol might change that though and add some red shading.

As I said I had my d.o.b done on saturday… how long does it take for the scab to fall off?

Roughly 2 weeks or so. Anything else you want to know that can be easily found out by searching?

Do a google search on Day of the Dead. OK I basically done it for you lol

Anyway, apart from zombie films and images you’ll find a lot of colourful skulls and stuff that you might like.

Try here. It’s not a site that shows lots of different tattoos but it might help you get an idea of what you’re after.

Haha this is weird, in the other thread the OP made half the people were saying he should add more to it. Stop confusing the poor man! 🙂

If I go into McDonalds or walk down my local street do you think people are going to stare and judge me before there even know me?

Um, yeah, that’s exactly what people will do lol like it or not, people with visible tattoo’s often get stared at. Have them on your face and they’ll stare even harder. Some people will…[Read more]

Looking top notch, reminds me a lot of my artists tattoos, which were awesome.

It definitely sounds like you were too nervous or excited. Now that you know what it feels like to be tattooed, you can use that to help you relax for next time. And don’t try anything to mask the pain! One of the best parts of being tattooed is the pain, IMO anyway.

I’ve had a few people give nice comments about my tattoos, including girls 😀 but I’ve had very old ladies say “Oh, that’s very interesting! Is there more?” then I pull my sleeve up and they almost die of shock lmao.

I like it when people stare at me though, good or bad I don’t care. Only bad stares I’ve had as far as I know were from my boss but…[Read more]

Very nice and it’s been well done as well.

My sleeve was based on Polynesian style tattoos as well, and I’ve had the same responses from people who know jack about tattoos, but when people ask me I just tell them it’s like abstract art and I think it looks cool! My old tattoo which is covered up by it now gave my artist a real nightmare as it…[Read more]

Definitely like Bdubbs said and the inner elbow, for me anyway! It felt more like peeling the skin away rather than a tattoo.

Funnily enough tho, the easiest bit, for me, was on the other side! My elbow was a breeze and I only felt strong, but pleasant vibrations surging through my arm lol.
