The Show Off Your Tattoo Thread

Well, I got a bit dizzy and found out I've got a kink in my spine but I'm happy with my new tattoo. It hurt but was easier than I thought it would be.

My bf also got his cover up done and its looking good. I'll post pictures up when I've cleaned it up a bit

For anyone that's interested, I got it done by Ross king at body language tattoos in Kirkcaldy.

Oh, I also managed to nab a painting of his that he was going to throw away so its been a good day!

That Everton one....oh deary me.

Went through every page and I must say, probably for the most part the worst collection of tattoos I've ever seen, some nice ones, but as a whole terrible.

Not saying mine are fantastic mind you.

^ i would largely agree.

If your going to get a tattoo find somebody decent, don't skimp.

Mine healed a few weeks ago

I'd like to say it was a one of a kind, but it seems they both got one done....

I wonder if this guy is any relation?

Hopefully for their sake, the spelling is different on the second one!

Didn't Everton change their badge recently too?

That's even worse! How do you possibly put two E's in??
Who is to blame, the tattooist for not arming himself with a dictionary before marking someone permanently, or a person for not ensuring the correct spelling/ grammar is applied to their own skin? Surely it is the customer!!

dreep · 16 Aug 2013 at 12:58

Customer, but the tattooist should really say something beforehand.

Latest one on the way to having a full sleeve.

My next on Saturday. Looking forward to it, and I agree. Most of the tattoos I'm this thread are horrible (personal preference).

Will post pictures of it up on Sat!

'Their Finest Art', the final line of a Charles Bukowski poem, 'The Genius of the Crowd'. Been sitting on this for a couple years, the poem much longer.

Underwater themed sleeve in progress, I've had three sittings so far. Last piece was the treasure chest on Wednesday last week.

Started at the bottom of my arm because I'm having some old tribal piece laser removed at the top first

Done by Jen at Nemesis in Seaham.

dreep · 19 Aug 2013 at 10:56

Really nice that

elmarko · 21 Aug 2013 at 21:44

Just got back from another 6.5 hours, most the background done (a little bit under my arm needs to be finished as you can see) & just the main subjects to be finished off.

All I can say is... owch...
