tattoo thread (post em)

[kuzman89]

Anyone on here have tattoos? I know some members may have a severe distaste of tat's, but I would please you ask to keep your opinions to yourselves, or at least be non-offensive.

I have none, but am considering getting a shoulder/half sleeve of a famous battle my ancestors partook in. Which saved much of europe from muslim dominance. Without going into detail, I would love it in this sort of style:
Medieval Battle Scene : Tattoos :

but haven't really looked at many tattoo artists. Any ideas? I want it on my arm so it can easily be hidden as I'm studying law/finance it's normally frowned upon. Its just an idea at the moment, so if any of my family/friends are reading this, don't tell mum

Anyway, as im looking for ideas, please post yours, or let us know what you are thinking of getting!!

Cheers

I have a rotten apple

I'm getting the back of my neck done at some stage.

All the $ goes into the Wagon or the BF's tatt's lol he has a full sleeve, back & neck.

[VHRickster]

2 full sleves and a quater back....and the only difference between people with tats and those without is those who have them don't care if you haven't

This is my full sleeve which goes onto my shoulders.
Dragon & Phoenix tatt, the two symbols of life and death/ yin and yang fighting it out on a sky/cloud background. Took about 50hrs all up.

[kuzman89]

How much did that cost you man? Thats pretty insane.

[vr94ss]

I have "palm leaves and fairy mushrooms" for one of mine Good for a giggle.. It was the 1970s.. And yes, that furry stuff on the right hand side down to my elbow is my beard.


Edit: sircruisealotVS that is impressive. I don't know that I could ever justify the costs to do that. I met a girl in my dreams one night that had a extraordinary bra tattooed on. It lacks in the translation I'm sure.

My sideways rotten apple lol, on my wrist.

looks like a parrot skull! Ignore me

[kuzman89]

vr94, are you a wizard? Thats a long beard haha, so how long have you had that tat? Hasn't faded much. And that sideways rotten apple looks good, where did you get that done?

[AirStrike]

Where abouts in vic are you located mate?

[kuzman89]

south east suburbs (berwick/narrewarren/fountain gate area). Don't mind travelling.

[CSP]

Hmmm... Is that what people consider SE Suburbs? I'm moving to Brighton soon and thought that area was the SE Suburbs.

[kuzman89]

*outer south eastern suburbs* you suburb nazi haha. Berwick has really only been a suburb in the last few years anyway.

[CSP]

Hahaha... OK. I legitimately wasn't sure.

[Kikki]

Brighton is usually classified as a 'Bayside' suburb.

Alot man - but as the saying goes "good tattoos aren't cheap and cheap tattoos aren't good"...

how many hours did it take?

[sircruisealotVS]

how many hours did it take?

I did actually say it before, lol - but it took about 50hrs all up and pretty much all of all last year to do it because you have to wait for areas to heal, plus the guy i go to it always booked out weeks/months in advance.

[VHRickster]

As I said...I have 2 full sleves and a quater back...here is a good before and after pic . I got this Angel when I was 17...I am now 38....When my tattooist died I figured he wouldn't be offended if I got it redone.....was redone a few years ago....I will post up my sleves etc soon...because i am a newbie here they check every post and it can take ages for my posts to appear!!
edit: well whatyaknow!! My post came up straight away!!

[MUT4NT]

got this done in Bali


and already have another tatt booked for my stomach at Black Quill in Perth

but the whole plan is full sleeve right arm chest done shoulder blade to shoulder blade down ribs and half sleeve on left arm

[vr94ss]

vr94, are you a wizard? Thats a long beard haha, so how long have you had that tat? Hasn't faded much. And that sideways rotten apple looks good, where did you get that done?

Lol.. I'd like to be the wizard of Oz so I could give all the scarecrows of the world a brain I think it was around 1976 I had it done, you can do the math. The colours aren't what they used to be, red and yellow have almost disappeared, the circle bit used to be the sun with yellow rays coming out..

[Static89]

I have a few body art peices.
