Does the tragus hurt? Always considered it.

Tragus is not bad at all, have both sides done. Its more of a mighty push and then a pop its through lol. You'll heal and sleep better having a bar put in. Nipples hurt like a b***h. Ha.

The little bird can be linked to health, wealth, loyalty, and the rigors of long-distance travel.

So it can be used for most things, mainly oldschool designs! There wiked!

They're a symbol Sailors used to get on themselves as sign that they had crossed the Atlantic Ocean.

Not 100% sure if it was originally purely linked to the Atlantic, but definitely orignated from passing overseas.

That's where they orignated from anyhow. They've become a bit of icon for old school style traditional tattoos. Although pretty sure they call it 'new school' nowadays lol.

New skool is more roud brightly coloured and cute looking. I like old skool ink. As you can tell. My nipples play up, had them well over a year. As for the lobes.. ha i'm still going strong. Aiming for 1" but we'll see how far i can get.

I still have alot of ink planned. Need to finish alot of stuff. Its all money!

Want to get the Blink 182 smiley face done on one of my arms, as they were a big part of my childhood music and contribute to who I am today. Although i've never had one done before and I think my parents wouldn't be too happy! lol.

ive wanted one along the top of my back for a while now. none of this generic s**t either, trying to design my own :S not easy when art isn't exactly my strong point! Also the distinct lack of money doesn't help tbh. ah well. all in time.... tattoos look awesome mate. never doubt it :D
