i have had a full sleave about 6 months now no pics as of yet will post as soon as possible and today i had a branding hurts a lot

Could you elaborate on the process and so on of the branding?

I've been considering one for a while, I think it's something I might have in the future, any information would be great

Either strike branding - heating up a bit of metal with a blowtorch and 'striking' the flesh.

Or using a cautery or hyrefractor tool - controlled electrical burns, basically.

This is one of my two tattoos, I've had it for about 5 years now and I really like it still. Thinking about getting it recoloured soon

VTR- Have you got a full side on shot of the one on your arm, that looks very similar to one I am thinking of getting in a few weeks time.

No sorry mate, have you got any pictures of the one your thinking of getting? Mine's a custom design, I'll try and get some more pics for you though.

lukechad · 13 Mar 2006 at 16:15

I did have but I cant find them for the life of me, I will keep checking around and post if i come across one

EDIT:

Something like this but probably not as big, just on the forearm and not the shoulder as well.

My Tattoos

I have three tattoos on my back.3 symbols going across my back.From eft to right Life,Passion,Protection.

Life:Symbol for life is the cross with a circle on top.Eqyptian symbol.I would put a picture up but I aint got one sorry.

Passion:A circle with a half circle on top.Kinda circle with horns.I think its a pagan symbol.

Protection:This symbol is an eye.the eqyptian eye.Symbol of protection,the eye of Ra.

I don't regret my tattoos.I hope they are still clear when I am an old biddy so I can show them off to my granchildren!Hehe!

the artist who did that is very skilled and has a very steady hand.

From what i've seen your 17, thus making you having tattoo's illeagal. Even with parental permission it is illeagal for a minor (under 18 to be tattooed). So both you and your artist broke the law and you risked your studio getting hugely fined and shut down.

basically what blackstar is trying to say is "well done".. in a sarcastic way.

Harriet · 13 Mar 2006 at 22:39

Ahhhh well.If you put it that way.I aint proud i broke the law but hey.I can't be upset about it.Im sure many people have done the same.Still doesn't make it right I know...

It's bad for the industry and contributes to the bad reputation it has in some circles.

reflex · 13 Mar 2006 at 22:42

Im probably going to get a Opeth quote when i turn 18, but il be a poor student by that time so i might wait till im in my 20's

Blackstar · 13 Mar 2006 at 22:43

Put it this way i believe you could have waited and had a bit of respect for someones job and business.
I know your not alone in doing this and i'm sorry if it seems like i'm getting at you but i feel quiet strongly about it. I just think the law is in place for a reason, to stop kids getting tattoos.
