tattoos

[robbief]

i currently have a tribal design made up of liverbirds. i'm in the process of looking for a shop to do 'you'll never walk alone' across the top of my back although it will probably be done after my holiday (2 weeks) as i have been informed that swimming and the sun can amage it.

 

anybody got any ideas of good shops around town? or anybody got any interesting tattoos?

[The-Sir]

Right, I might as well post this here rather than starting a new thread. I havent got any tattoos but the one I want is huge, right across my shoulder blades - and that is the only one I want. Will I actually be able to get this or because I havent had one before wont they let me?

[robbief]

as far as i know you can get what you want. mine is quite big, especially for a 14 year old(at the time). i didn't think it hurt, just a pleasurable pain. if thats possible. i wanted to get the shankly gates right across my shoulders but the one i went to see wasn't good at all. the liverbird looked like it had been kfc'd.

yeah no swimming for about a week. when you get it done they should offer you some sort of tat after care. I used coconut oil.

 

this place is one of the best in London.

If it's one sitting then it migh be worth the journey. I've had a tat re-lined there.

i got a little tub of 'tattoo-goo' with mine. do you know how many weeks they advise not to swim for? as far as i remember it was 6 weeks.

[The-Sir]

Haha ace! How much (approx) will that cost me then mate?

[robbief]

not sure really, mine was only seventy and is an alright size, i was quoted 160 for the shankly gates but as i say it was a moddy copy and the shop wasn't one of the best.

you need to consider the long term aspect of it all. I've more or less forgotten about the two i have.

 

you could get what you want hennered first and see how you feel about it.

[The-Sir]

This is what I want by the way:

 

 

 

designed it myself ;)

Some artists will give you a price outright, others charge by the hour.

it was weird having mine at first, every time i looked down i shit myself, now i'm used to it and don't notice it much at all.

had mine done in indonesia and was out the water for a week. I then had it re-lined back in london. The work is on my ribs and the line was just a touch shaky as the indo lad was aware of how much it was hurting. Sound now though and the only one of its kind on the planet

[robbief]

my mate got one last year in turkey and it was sound, got one this year and it got infected LOL. not really a laughing matter, it looks like its going to stay meffed up really bad for ever.

I have three, I want one more. They are all strategically placed and fairly small. I was advised to use preperation h on my tattoo. That was handy because I had piles too.

Once got pissed in Shrewsbury and a load of us piled into the tattooist's to get tattoo's. I was gonna have this black panther but thankfully sobered up whilst waiting.

 

Time is a factor, as most look a splodgy mess by the time you're mid-40, and unless you're a brickie you look a bit of a tit.

[RedKnight]

They suck. A mate I used to hang with in school had a Radiohead tattoo! Dickwad.

If pain is an issue, you could try and find a local anaesthetic cream, emla is good if you can find it. After care might involve bepanthen cream for a week or two, and most importantly..... Dont pick at it when it scabs up, it can seriously damage the tattoo, as it can scar. Ace design by the way

I am trying to get a Banksy one done but it is hard to get a tattooist to to do it.

[Victor Ganges]

How about.....Aki is ace!

[Duff Man]

I don't get all this tribal stuff. I mean, you're not in a tribe are you? So why would you permanently mark yourself with some tribal symbol?

 

It's like those ones that are written in fancy Japanese text. Why? You're not Japanese. I don't get it.

I was thinking about a tattoo years ago, bloodly glad I never now.

 

If I did get one it would have to be something thats not gonna change in your own mind.

 

quitley whispers as its *f on the GF "maybe a club crest" or liver bird.

 

I reckon I won't ever bother now though.

 

I'm glad I'm not one of those dickheads who got things like a Taz on their arm, a celtic band or chinese or japanese writing *

 

*appoligies to anyone on here who did get a celtic band or writing, if you got a taz you are truly a dickhead and there's no way I'm saying sorry for that.

You went to school with Monty?

Monty's pale ginger skin would burst if he got a tattoo.
