Tattoos Anyone??

Wow, just Wow MM. Looks awesome. Thanx for coming back and sharing the finished product with us. Your a trooper and a beauty. Very nice.

Thank you Silv3r. I love it. It still itches though.

the only drawbacks are that I can't see it without doing a double mirror routine, and it's hard to get the sunblock on it.

No, don't do it! My artist said that Emla (which is lidocaine) changes the substance of the skin during the time it's used, and the ink doesn't take well. he showed me one he'd had done with the Emla and it didn't look crisp or nice.

A tattoo is supposed to be painful. It's used as a rite of passage in certain cultures for a reason. It shows that you can master your body and control yourself through the pain.

The rule of thumb is, the more fat under the skin, the less pain. If it's over bone, it's more painful. If you hit a nerve cluster, it's pretty bad.

My spine was the worst, four colors of shading one on top of the other, on the most sensitive part of my body. It was the only time I've ever come close to fainting.

But the endorphins were lovely.

This tattoo I got about 4 years ago, it was my first one, and still my fav. The pic is from when me and my girlfriend went shooting at the range while we were in Hawaii. I was shooting a 12 guage here.

Love your tattoos there everyone.

My husbands a practicing tattooist (5 years) and i have 3 now.A tiger butterfly on one arm,tribal design on other arm and a dragon around my belly button.

We got fed up with shops not being able to do the designs we wanted so went and got our own guns, inks,ready mades,ultrasonics and autoclave and set to work.

America is lucky to have very talented tattoists/artists unlike my home town.

Dont have a tattoo anywhere bony like shoulders,they hurt.

Suprisingly the one on my stomach didnt hurt that much but everybody is different.

Women are easier to tattoo apparantly.Our pain threshold is better for tattoos.

I had 4 tattoos before my husband started and now have 3 lol.

i am up to 65

Heres mine.

They ran out of guy tattoos?

I have my hip pieced out with a Cinco de Mayo skull with a diamond in one eye and a coffin with an upside down cross in the middle of it..Two sparrows on the side of it carrying banners that read "Carpe" and "Diem." Inner lip which reads "PURE." And I start a full sleeve on November 1st based off of the movie "High Planes Drifter." An old Clint Eastwood flick. Whatever, you know? Tattoos aren't even cool anymore. Every salesman, waiter, and mormon has one...

Just a heads up... I have a good friend who thought it was awesome to do his own tattoos because our friend is one of the premier tattoo artists in the valley and we kind of have free reign on all the s***.. and he regrets them. Not just alot.. A lot, a lot.

Hello sh*t for brains

Big hard man then are we? with your macho skull tattoo? that your supposed to be posting a picture of by the way, not just talking about.

Did they run out of guy AVATARS or do you just like your sweet little GIRLY one?

Seems like you have issues..

According to your post on this thread here which YOU FLAGGED for some reason known only to you >

I WANT TO GET A SIX PACK ABS

Id lean towards you being jealous of anybody with abs. Sure you said you have some and they were easy to get, but again.. you have no photos anywhere, just a big mouth.

OK let's cool it with the personal attacks.

DFB may not have recognized the caduceus, is all.

No reason to get a warn over personal choice of artwork, is there?

Thanks major but It obviously didnt matter to DFB what my tattoo represents. He made a lame, useless, pointless comment, and I sensed some pyschological issues so... I can handle a little red warning.


Late edit to add my apologies anyway DFB, everyone, I did wake up with a rat up my rear and I just didnt like the ignorance of the comment, seemed rude was all..

In future I will respect the etiquette and not be so ignorant myself.. sorry guys.

Peace
