Tattoo Appreciation Soc. Chat Thread

Reading this thread again after so long makes me want more ink. Desperately.

I know, right? It's probably unhealthy.

Random, but I love that lobby card.

This is the next one I've got lined up......



Realisitically not untill march/april next year as I've just moved house, which is kinda expensive (and not forgetting christmas!)

Size is appears on the image, and it'll be a sidepiece. Going to rework the tattoo's that appear on there at the moment, remove some of the skulls and work in a few other classic images, and get some roses tattoo'd onto her neck. Quite excited about this one.

I just had 3hour (well 2.30hr) session, started my back piece, all of the outline is done. I'm very happy with it so far, a bit shocked how big it actually is!
For my first tattoo I'm not doing too bad. I was so scared of the pain, yet it wasn't that bad really. Only some parts actually hurt like going over my ribs and spine.
I'm already thinking of future tattoos. I think I'm hooked now that I know the pain is bearable

You're so brave getting a 3 hour session for your first piece. I was ****ing it before getting a 30 minute small item to start!

I've had a shoulder and foot tattoo, and my next one (in planning) is going to be more butterflies on my back...and possibly a catepillar.

Anyone who's had a foot tattoo know if any parts of the back hurt more?

If i'm honest, i'm not sure why i'm asking, cause the foot hurt like a b**** and if I can do that then I can get anything done xD

I've just had a tattoo on my foot, and the only other place I've had a tattoo is my back. I've got a full back piece so I know what every spot feels like and to be honest none of your back will hurt as much as your foot. Except maybe the middle of your back, where the back of your bra sits.

I thought the foot was definitely more intense but because it is smaller and required less time it didnt seem as hard to endure. Everybody is different, but i've done a 6 hour session on my back, there isn't a chance in hell that I'd be willing to do that on my foot ....

Thanks! That puts my mind at rest & I know realise i'll be able to walk like a normal person afterwards if I get a back piece xD

I'm thinking of avoiding the bra area anyway (as much as I can) since it was a pain to heal my shoulder under a brastrap! But then, healing a foot tattoo where socks don't help whatsoever...when you live in quite possibly Britains wettest city is incredibly difficult!

One day I'll pick a tattoo and area that won't be in an awkward place!

When I had the lines done on all my back I literally couldn't bend, I felt like an old lady the morning after. Was fine after that though.

What does everyone think about one black and grey sleeve and one colour sleeve, cant decide whether to have my next sleeve in colour or not...
