To get a tattoo... or not to get one - Page 4

freakinmental · 22-07-2010, 08:44 AM

Like i said, i have got 5 small ones, when i am dressed normally all but one are covered its only on nites out, warm days and when i'm on holiday that the others tend to be seen!
i didnt get them to show off or to make people look at me, i got them for me cos i like them, i dont regret any of them and i am planning at least 1 more!

I have one on my lower back, had it done about 9 or 10 years ago i think. Yes it hurt alot, i'm a wuss, but still considering having another one done

.
Have you seen London Ink, its on a Sunday evening at 8pm on DMAX, its a tatooist's in London, i love it, the work they produce is amazing.

do these tattooists do it from a template or something these days? they used to be just good artists in days gone by but one of my mates had one done, a football crest and it looked just like it had been stuck on like the type we used to get as kids, lick and stick and wash off but it was a permanent one

haa haa...wagga dots...can you remember the homemade ones people use to get

If you want one go for it, but do take your time and consider your design carefully. A good tattooist would be prepared to stick a transfer of the design where you want and let you live with it for a few days to make sure you like it. I have lots of tattoos most of my back is covered and the tops of both arms. They can be hidden if i wish, i dont worry about what they will look like when i am 70 as i dont think i will be wearing that many backless tops at that age

waste of time and money

got 1 when i was 16 and the other wheni was 18, im know 28 and wonder wot i was thinking

freakinmental · 23-07-2010, 08:33 AM

i got my first at 20 then the others followed over the next 10yrs i thought long and hard about each one before i got them drawing them on in felt tip to see if i really did want one. I think if u do plan them and think about what u want rather than making a decision based on 'ohh that looks nice i'll get that' or 'my mates have one i want one' u wont regret them later in life
