first tattoo

[Rat Finkenstein]

Get a hammer on one buttcheek, anvil on the other. . . then at parties get up on the table and give "forging demonstrations?"

Can't wait to see a pic! You don't have to wait for it to heal before you share that bad one with this bunch... I think we've all seen what it looks like for the duration.

ok here it is. it turned out very nice. its all red and blochy but give it some time and it will be sweet. man its hard to get a good pic of it.

 

[koyote]

[JTknives]

Cool Tat,

My last tat was kinda knife related, I got a Pheniox on my forearm, It was a giant change I have made in life , and knives are Born of Fire. I'm getting the rest of my forearm filled in probly in October. The wings wrap around the front and leave about a inch and half space where I am getting Born of fire written in old english and the rest filled with smoke and flames .

I have plans for more but so does the wife so I have to wait my turn I guess.

A tattoo lasts a lifetime. A bad one does too (I hear lasers are very painful and expensive).

I would rather have a broken bone healing for 3 months then go through more then 30 minutes of tattoo removal. it is a pain that you cannot get away from that will make you go into physical shock if it lasts to long. no joke, you will go green, feint to the floor and go into shock - it's like getting zapped at 3,000 volts for 30 minutes straight, but HOT, like add a soldering iron to the electricity.

expect a decent sized tattoo (full shoulder) to be 1000-2000$ per session, and you can expect a minimum of 8 sessions to completely get rid of it. you are more then likely going to want to cover it up after 3 sessions because of how much it costs, how much it hurts, and how many more sessions your looking at.

i'm gonna get a heart forge in the next couple of months... depending on what my tattoo artist can come up with. it will be fun, and serves the purpose of covering up old tattoo's. one laser session was enough for me to be completely converted to the cover up club.

I personally would do something like the knife flash, but with your own designed dagger

Keeping your piece very traditional and personalized.
But this is coming from a guy with tattoos in the double digits including "take no prisoners" on the back of my hand and a bullet hole on my head. My advice is best taken w/ 2 shots of tequila and a grain of salt.
