More ink today

[Over-Head]

Arm is a bit sore, started working on the arm sleeve again after 2 years.
Did a Lotus flower inlay on the forarm, bit sore, but nothing some Lubraderm (sp) ain't taking care of.

Anyone else got an arm sleeve? Or ink in general?

The 2 pieces today make a total of 12 times under the gun now between he work on both my leg's and arm.

And loving every min of it. :)

I'm always torn on the subject of tatoos. Well done tatoos are a form of art, and I like art in general. Some tatoos are truly badass.

I don't have any, and tend to find them as a bit of turn off in women, though some of those pics in the rockabilly thread contradict that!

I wanted a tatoo when I was younger, never got one because I couldn't find anything or think of anything that was unique or fitting enough. Now I don't really want one.

If I do get one, it will probably be a memorial type tatoo on my shoulder blade.

Theye are VERY addictive, especialy if you have a fantastic artist like the guy doing mine.

Mel at http://www.archangeltattoo.com/ started the top half of my shoulder when my first artist up and left town a few years back.

After having my buisness take off to the point I didn't have to leave the provience for work I managed to stumble across Bill at http://www.stjohnsink.com/

Can't wait till all the outlines and shading are done so we can lay some color.

[Buck]

I've got two.

They hurt so good when getting them done.

[joesomebody]

Wow, they do look extremely talented. This one is pretty bad ass, must be a huge Halloween fan.

Was surprised to see how many dog memorial tattoos on display at stjohnsink. I kind of figured I was the only one who even thought about getting one.

Each to their own, and that’s what tattooing is about. YOUR likes not someone else’s.
My chest piece is going to be a Jap style Pisces sign circling my nipple, with a water design going up over my shoulder where the theam drops over my shoulder blade.
It changes to exotic flowers, butterflies, and wave patterns going down my arm to the wrist, with a few Chinese symbols along the way.
And here’s to the woman who’s arm inspired mine after 10 years of looking for the "perfect" arm sleeve.
And she ain’t too hard to gander at either, for a MILF.

Tats are for convicts, sailors and Raider fans. The rest of us try to remain employable.

Have you had your ink slinger knock out an al davis tat for you yet? Perhaps a picture of good old Al all on your pecker would work, because he's been screwing you for years. :)

Sure.

[seaofred]

Got my first one done about 4 weeks ago. I love it. I can totally see how people get addicted to it. I got it on my shoulder and I'm already thinking of ways to turn it into a sleeve.

My 73 year old buddy has one on his forearm. He was a sailor. He says it's an eagle but it is just a mass of blue ink.

I have a theory that tattoo's are for people with low self esteem or who don't like something about themselves as they are. They're not pretty/tough/cool/whatever enough. I also think they are ugly as sin but to each their own.

Ever diet, lift weights, count calories, stare at some fake tits, layout in the sun, exercise, use Rogane, use zit cream? You just described everyone who does any of those things. Profound theory.

[Papi]

Your sarcasm isn't lost on me but regardless thank you for concurring

[salame]

I just think that people who have a "problem" with tattoos are being closed minded. It's just as much of an impulse as paying $500 for a suit or buying a corvette or even a nice watch it's an accessory that some people prefer to other purchases.

[Buck]

I got my first tattoo, I'll be honest because I was going out w/ this chick and I thought I would impress her. I was stoned when I decided to go get it done. I sort of regret it.

My 2nd tattoo, however, I am happy I got. Its a custom designed Chargers Logo that I made, and I'll wear it proudly, until the Chargers leave SD that is.

[luv]

I've got three. All can be concealed for work or when I want them to be.

Your theory is utter rubbish

[salame]

Mine is in a pretty concealed spot but if you were attentive enough you could see it

[DaneMcCloud]

Mine starts at the tip of my right shoulder and ends at the top of my elbow.

It's Kanji script.

I get complements from men and women nearly every time I'm in public. The detail is amazing and I've been told by Japanese people that they can't even write with such precision!

Hardly, tattoos are meant to be permanent. A suit will wear out, and you can sell a car, unless you have surgery that tat is going to stay. I have no problem with people who have tattoos, I think some people take it to the extreme, but it's their life. I have thought about getting one before, but it never really came to fruition.

[Katipan]

Mine starts at the tip of my right shoulder and ends at the top of my elbow.

It's Kanji script.

My b/f's b/f has beautiful kanji script from his upper right shoulder down to his elbow. But it has lots of flourishy type stuff too so really it's half a sleeve.

I have my own personal issues with kanji script. The ex psycho got tatted up everywhere, EVERYWHERE, with it when we split. Along with a rather unflattering flattering picture of me. So no kanji on me.

I have 2. The KC on my bikini line was a rite of passage 18 years old with the girlfriends thing. The one on my lower back was because I liked the feeling of the first one so much. (Insert tramp stamp joke) I've currently been obsessing over one on the top of my shoulder but I think it's evolved into too big of a piece. At least I hope my arm is never big enough for it...

So I'm thinking my side between my ribs and my hips, or between my shoulder blades.

I guess that was a really long and drawn out post to say I never once got a tattoo because I felt bad about myself. If anything, it's a declaration of just how comfortable I am with me.

Eventually this tatoo fad is going to come to an end. Some people will be regretting all these tatoos.

In the case of the b/f's b/f, he says he's so pastey pale white that it's a relief to not have to look at that anymore.

I'd imagine you'd just get used to it, no? Do you often gaze in wonderment at your blank wrist or inner thigh often?

A little bit different if you have a zombie skull looking at you 24/7.

It's less boring, sure. But stare at anything long enough and it ceases to have an impact on you. From zombie skulls to pussy.

I had a pipe with a neat magnifying glass that would extend up from it for those times when you just can't find a lighter and you're stuck in the middle of the desert with a pipe and a bag of weed.

Only time I stare at the sun.

I know. I just like fuqin with Scorp ever since he threw a tantrum, and hit me with about 10 neg reps like a crybaby. I'm sure I've got more comin for this.

And I'm serious about what I said too. He's only the bajjilionth person to get a bunch of skulls on his arm.

No more bored than I am staring at my face every day. But I totally get what you're saying, I just think it wouldn't even register in my mind anymore. But maybe that's not necessarily a good thing.

[1ChiefsDan]

The picture I sent the artist and the finished product. Thinking about adding Pitt State or just Pitt to it.

I have 3 now. If I had a digital camera I'd post them.

thats great ink dude.very nice.

[1ChiefsDan]

thats great ink dude.very nice.I had the picture and went around to several places here in Denver. All of them seemed rather bored, saying they could get it done in an hour or so.

Walked into this little shop, showed the lady the picture and she just went off - how cool it would be to do it, but that it would take a while.

Spent 4 1/2 hours in her chair. I think it turned out great.

My advice is check out multiple places. Find one that is clean and has enthusiastic artists. Some of the larger places just seemed like they were going through the motions.

[Over-Head]

for those of you who have sleeves or ink that cant be covered up.

Dont you get tired of looking at it?
Do you ever get tired of watching the Chiefs even if they lose a game or two?
No.
It;s like the frames on a new pair of glasses, after a while it's just not the center of attention unless you make it so.

I am glad I did not get it (the tat and the beating) Anyway I see tatoos like the ones in that picture and think WTF I mean really if you are going to get ink at least be original.

Is a DHB tat in the works?

[Jenson71]

All that ink will penetrate into your bloodstream and eventually make it to your brain. Which is why people start with a little butterfly on their ankle or a cross on their chest and end up like a transitioning Michael Jackson.

Uh....well....that would be original :eek:

I try. :D

Dear dad:
How are you I am fine
Today I went for a walk down town
It was fun
I stopped and had some ice cream
It was good
I saw a man get get a cup of coffee tossed out a window on top of his head and laughed really hard

Will come home for memorial day weekend if you send me some "more" bus fare.
I spent the cash you sent me last week today at "St.John's Ink" on 2 "Tiger Lillies" for the top of my forarm.
