To Many Tattoos?

Post by vw-po-low »

Right, I'm 21, got my first tattoo at age 17. I'm a huge fan of body modification. most things i have now days are not small, nore cheap. I've become great friends with both of my Artists though one has left for america.

I'm not sure if i will ever stoped getting tattooed. I've sepnt a good chunk of money on my body.

At what point would you say you have to much? i'm just after peoples different opinions, like i said "I'm not sure if i'll ever stop"

I currently have.

Right arm - Sleeved. Nearly finished.
Left Wrist
Knuckles.
Right side of my neck - Its not small.
Chest Piece.
Left leg sleeve, not finished.
Hips.
My back/back of neck

I most post photos. Infact i will when i get some time.

For those here who i have met i think most times it was cold weather so you wont have seen them! ha.

Who else has ink and are proud?

Sounds spot on for me. I'm aiming for both arms full, upper chest and sides. And a neck piece on one side.

Get some pictures up!

I currently have half of my upper right arm done, the rest of it is booked in for May. And also a small one on my chest.

I'm currently planning my first small tattoo which I'll be getting when I go back to the US in September.

Nice pictures mate!! Always wanted a koi. Aye I got your facebook, wondered for a second 'who is that tattoo-clad guy?!', then I put 2+2 together haha.

Does the tragus hurt? Always considered it.

Owch? Doesn't it hurt? Quite a few mates are thinking about getting tattoos. I'm not sure I could though. How exactly do they get the ink on?

Haha, yes it hurts, but that's part of the fun.

Tattoo guns use a variety of different needles to penetrate the skin, which in turn inject ink into the skin.

Lol twas me Tim! I snooped around your page! dig your ink on the top of your arm!

And tim as always is correct. Outlines seem to hurt the most. Alot thinner needle. *shrugs* you get use to it.
for large shading sections there are about 5 needles in a row, ha. Lovely.

I could do with sorting out better photos. I'm lazy and self shots are hard =(
