Finally....a tattoo soc! I looked for one a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find any!

Haven't got any tatts myself as I'm planning on putting on a bit of weight over the summer but I'm hoping to get one about September time before I go back to uni :biggrin:

Had a design in mind for a good year now and still like it so that's pretty much concrete.

Love looking at other people's too! :colone:

Haha..

I actually quite like the pain, it's definitely a rush.. that might make me sound like a nutcase lol...

I've always loved art and stuff from a very young age and I think getting tattoos is one of the best expressions of art that there is, providing the tattoo is good lol..

But I think most, if not all, of my tattoos will b just for aesthetics and won't really have any deep meanings behind them..

Smithy's Tattoo Blog - 01/07/11

I'm going to try to do this blog as often as I can. It might be a few times a week, it might only be once a week.. It depends on what comes up as I only want to post the best content. Anyway, this will mostly just be 'reblogs', if you like, of stuff / people that I currently follow that I feel might be of interest to people viewing or posting in this thread.

As this is the first one, it's only really testing the water, but it could become something decent :smile:

Starting off with Conventions, and a big one at that. Tattoo Jam is the UK's biggest and (arguably) best tattoo convention!

The 411:

What? Tattoo Jam is a tattoo convention. There are many conventions held throughout the year and indeed all over the world. The main feature of these conventions is for tattoo artists to showcase their work. Of course, this also gives you the chance to get tattooed by a vast array of super-talented artists, some from the other side of the world. Tattoo Jam currently has over 300 artists signed up to work over the 3/4 day event. But that's only part of the show. There's countless more things going on over the course of the event, such as live bands, entertainment shows, shops and merchandise, workshops, seminars, art displays etc etc.. If you like tattoos then there'll be no shortage of things for you to see and do.

Who? As mentioned, over 300 highly-talented artists are currently confirmed to be working the convention, with many more to come. There are also bands, entertainers, comedians.

Where? Doncaster Racecourse! It's a great venue that offers good access by all means of transport.

When? 5th-7th August 2011.

So if you're serious about tattoos or even just mildly curious with a weekend to spare, I thoroughly encourage you to check this one out, you won't be disappointed.

I don't, it's all about the aesthetic

I've said before, I think it's so cool when people can have a deep meaning behind their ink, and I respect that..

But some people I've spoken to have watched 1 too many episodes of LA Ink, where every little tattoo has to Symbolise, Represent, or Give Protection :lol:
