The Show Off Your Tattoo Thread

A good tattooist doesnt want to waste his time having to recolour a tattoo that has been done. So he does it right first time. If they have to recolour cos they screwed up it means they have to spend time doing your tattoo again for free instead of spending time on a paying customer, plus no tattooist wants a bad rep for shoddy work.
 
But eventually all tattoos, no matter how well done, will begin to fade. Is that right?

My tattoo artist showed me a tattoo he got done 30 years ago and it was still very black. They fade slightly but you are looking at 10s of years. Good quality ink takes years to fade.
 
My first post on here thats for sure, I'm playing with the idea of the attached tattoo, just wanted some personal opions from you guys which I'm sure I wont get any problems getting (sorry for the poor photoshop effort).
Also do any of you guys and girls know what the symbol stands for?

I know a lot of people will say its bad because it is a tribal design. I think it will look decent but it depends on the tattoo artist doing it. I wouldnt get something like that myself but if you want to get it and don't mind seeing the look of it after a few weeks of seeing the picture you should get it.

No idea what it means though which is one of the reasons I wouldnt get it.

Its annoying how the scum can turn a good set of tattoos into something that is overdone.

Keep us updated. :)
 
I finally got my guitar tattoo done. I went in for a quote yesterday and they said I should just come in and get it done. So I did.

Pics to follow when its less bloody lol
 
Just finished with the first phase of my new tattoo. Getting a maori style chestplate and arm done.

Currently got the back first, should be able to save up more money for chest and arm.

It looks a bit bloody due to literally just taking off the clingfilm and adding the bepanthen!
