Tattoo Appreciation Soc. Chat Thread

I suppose thats something

Which team are you though, tbh?

Well, not so much a thread for members as much as a spam-free thread, where all that's in there is questions about tattoos, pictures of tattoos and discussion around that as well as sketches/ideas for new designs etc.

This thread isn't that far off topic, it's just that if we divulge into chatting for a few pages, people come into the thread and think it's purely spam. Separating the two into two threads: one for general chat and discussion, the other for purely tattoo stuff, might be the easiest way to ensure that people aren't put off?

ok tattoo fans, who's awake and up for a chat?

Fair enough!

Appreciate the reply either way, just having a quiet night in, however two bottles of wine later i kinda wish I'd gone out!

Data is by far my fav next gen character.

I'm going to bed now... enjoy your night in!



EDIT: After having the same avatar since I joined TSR over two years ago, I may change it to this picture

Reckon it's a stupid idea to get a tattoo before I go away on holiday? It'd be a few weeks in advance, obvs, but I don't know whether it's a good idea. We're talking lots of booze and beach holiday, here.

Nah you should be ok. But two things to watch out for - don't expose it at all to the sun, and try not to bash it against anything too hard especially if it's still flaking. The sun thing is very important though.

better than it being wife's name or something

That is true

to sorta stay on topic I think this is pretty cool due to the colours



I'm a sucker for pretty colours

Dunno man, 3 weeks before a holiday, especially one on the beach. we're talking lots of sand and sun which could damage a healing tattoo, its probably not the best idea.

UV tattoos fade like a muther ****er tho

a few friends have had them done, i think they were fully luminescent for about 6 - 10 months which is a shame, but coolo nevertheless

Really?

I'd still get one, and get it touched up if you can

they looky so nice

Oh you could of course get it touched up! the one you linked looks as if its a mix of "normal" ink and uv ink, so you can see the design normally, but in uv extra parts show up.

one of my friends has a really large uv design on her hands and forearms, in just uv ink, so you really cant see it in normal light unless she was to point it out and you looked closely, but in uv light her arms just glow, its pretty beautiful!

Mine on the day it was done:

But on the other hand, and this is also where i sit to be fair, you're going on holiday with a new tattoo to show off, which is pretty sweet. And sand aint gonna kill ya

Oh guize, you talk so much whilst I'm away and then I lose track of the thread *sigh*
