Any tattooists here?

[Sister Sledge]

North of Wallsend (Tyneside) I managed to get a rate down to £45 an hour but the piece is huge and took a lot of sittings (lost count lol). Mixed in with that I agreed to help give their shop a 'unique' look. They've been around for years and the whole place is very good and clean but boring - I plied them with large natural crystals, animal skulls and other interesting weirdness to enhance the reception areas. Not only does it look better but they can also design things by looking at the real thing so to speak.

I can't help with your question because what I have is very different to what you want.

I haven't got any tattoos.

When I went ashore and and got pissed I went to brothels not tattoo artists.

Anything I picked up was removable with penicillin, unlike the fools who got skin 'art'.

It was also much more fun getting it.

I've got both hands done (one is a rose, pretty similar to the one above but in colour). The timing sounds about right as it goes as you're getting all of the hand done. Mine took around a similar time for both but I paid considerably less as mates done both hands.

The timing does sound right as people forget the faffing of sorting the needles, doing the transfer positioning, stopping for fag / tea / pain breaks etc. The swelling is something else on the hands. Mine came up like a boxing glove on both.

If it turns out as good as that, just pay it. I'd rather pay through the nose for a really decent tatt than hardly anything for a shite tatt.

Just booked in with a very good tattooist, as I thought it's "4 to 5 hours". So £320 or £400.

This is one of his, so if he can do that he can manage mine ok.

Absolutely none of my business, so don't feel obliged to answer if you don't feel like it.

What brought this on for you? Is it something you've always wanted done? Or have you been recently encouraged by a new circle of friends to get a tattoo? If the latter, did they suggest or influence the design or placement of your new tattoo? I can understand both reasons, so I'm not saying one reason is more valid than another. Just wondering.

Tats are more 'in feshion' than they have ever been.

The quality of the 'art' appears to be better but ffs can we puleeeze all stop getting the same fucking tats of the same thing/theme in the same part of the anatomy? FFS...

Why did you get a tat?
Coz I wanted to look different.

It is a purely personal thing.

Lots of things about it.

I feel lots of shite get tats and lots of fucking hoori tarts get them too.

Some skin art is nice and some is like inappropriate language/attire.

I've had tattoos since the 80s back when they were edgy and not everyone had them, I had sleeves when they really weren't common at all. Now every tom dick and harry has them. Even neck tattoos. When I got my neck done it was real edgy, nobody had them apart from skinheads, bikers, criminals or general lowlife and it meant "watch out motherfucker". Now everyone's got one and it puts the message across that they want to show you the fucking violets that they've just planted in their shubbery or something.

On the subject of being accepted these days, a friend of mine is a midwife for the NHS. She's tattooed everywhere (I've seen it all) and pierced.. everywhere. Again I've seen this. Heck she's done the suspension on massive fishing hooks, everything.
Her bosses say nowt (she has 3D implants too) and she's a lovely person. Oh and magnets embedded into parts too.

There were photos on Flickr of her getting down with another woman but they've been removed by the looks of things.

As said, tattoos have a reason/story. Me now? Seriously considering a dick tatt. Absolutely true that.
The place I normally go have refused to entertain it.
Reason for dick tatt? Just bucket list stuff really.
