Tattoo Appreciation Soc. Chat Thread

There are quite a few of them!

Peacocks are beautiful, glossy, birds so I'd say they're a good choice. There's also things like birds of paradise, which have the same colours and long tails, beautiful plumage etc, except they're a bit more 'unique'.

I'm not sure I could face that long under the needle though. I'm not currently set enough on anything to actually get one, because it'd be a case of looking for something - and I know I'd change my mind at a later point if I did that. I love the way they look on girls (), and I appreciate that a lot of guy's tattoos look good, but I'm not even sure if I'd suit one.

I actually see who I right my material as a much more ranty version of russell howard I know some of it's stereo typical which is what I am working on. With posts it is difficult to be random without it going completely off topic and turning into a few thousand words rather than a quick post. Plus there is the fact the two posts I have mad so far is much more of my older stuff which needs refining which is why I posted them. The best way to improve stuff you now needs improving is getting other people's opinions on it . And finally my final problem is always write as if aiming at a audience rather than a web post the blog thing was just a idea so I wouldn't be surprised if a fair few thing people would like when I told them wouldn't be liked in the post and vice versa.

Yeah, I love the colouring used on peacocks in tattoos thanks for the birds of paradise idea, hadn't thought about them! I also really like sparrows, hummingbirds and owls haha, all so different. Doubt it'll be for another year or so until I actually decide, knowing me

I honestly was bricking it so much that I asked if it was possible (beforehand) if they could stop at any given moment and continue with it another day, but they said the outline had to be finished in one sitting, much to my prior dismay :') but it really wasn't unbearable, unless you're incredibly skinny, it's very unlikely to hurt you much at all, although it also depends where you get it. I'm mate's with a guy who is literally a stick, and has tattoos on his wrists/neck/shoulderblades and the poor lad hated every minute of it, but loves his tattoos.
I'm sure you would suit them, guys with good tattoos are hot
Although I'm not trying to talk you into getting one haha, just realised how much I'm trying to justify your worries ha.
I get what you mean about indecisiveness, although I was pretty set on some kind of gypsy/rose tattoo since I was about 14 I think, so hopefully I won't live to regret it, the quote references something extremely personal to me as well; that said, if I do regret it in many years to come, I shall just look upon it fondly, remember my youth and know that at one point in my life if was exactly what I wanted

Gosh I'm babbling ahaha, sorry!

Where can you find good tattoo designers??

Thanks in advance.

I think a hummingbird would look good, but it wouldn't really suit the size you'd want it if it was on your forearm. An owl could look decent too, but it's not particularly colourful (if that's what you're going for). Sparrows are both quite small and not all that colourful. There's also birds like parrots etc; lot of choice in there as well as beautiful colours.

Aw. Why do they have to do the outline all at once, out of interest? I'm not skinny at all, I used to do amateur boxing and martial arts etc. I don't react well to needles though; I always feel faint when I get injections. Makes no sense as my pain threshold isn't particularly low either.

You don't even know what I look like. You're right though; good tattoos do, almost always, look good on whoever they're on.

Ooh, that's a long time! Why so long? I just know that I really like tattoos, especially certain designs, and the meanings and intricate style of art has always fascinated me. I'm pretty clueless on what designs I'd actually want for myself though.

Rambling's fine; I'm stuck recovering from surgery so nout else to do!

Where else would you consider placing it then? True, but I was thinking about them in their 'natural' colours, really. I mean, that pic looks good, but otherwise you could get literally any bird. If that's the case, I'm not sure, there are a lot that could look pretty good in bright colours.

Actually, yeah, that does make sense. Otherwise it'd involve doing that more than once, which'd be a bit of a headache. My pain threshold is relatively high, it's just needles (), and why do you hope I get some ink? So I'm not such a hypocrite leading the Tat Society? Also, why so sad at not knowing me irl?

That sounds like a sensible system. How much did the gypsy girl cost ya? Ooh, fingers crossed on becoming a poor student! Where are you aiming for?

Bit of an embarrassing one tbh; had to go in for circumcision and stitching.

Not sure, haha, like I said, it's just an initial idea right now. I know haha, that's what makes choosing a certain type of bird so difficult :') And I'm not sure if I'd go for "fake" colours of some kind of bird and all imaginative/creative, or if I'd try and get it done as realistically as possible, ahaha. Like I said, just in the very first stage of thinking about another tattoo, since my gypsy woman is now almost fully healed

Haha, no, you're not a hypocrite at all, I didn't say that! You just kind of seemed like you wanted to get a tattoo but were thinking of every excuse under the moon to not get one, so I was just saying (in not so many words) that I hope you get one if you really want it and don't let your needle fear/the fact it's permanent get in the way. You only live once

Gypsy lady cost me £240, and I think it took about 3 and a half hours, did it in one sitting Hopefully I'll get good enough grades to study Business at Nottingham Trent; I really struggle with exams haha. You at uni?

Ahh, least you have the guts to say it last time I was in hospital I had a back operation, was not the most pleasant of experiences :')

This thread will never die

I want a tattoo, but my skin is incredibly sensitive. Is it even possible?
