Whilst I can appreciate the artwork and technical skill of it, Ijcan't ever imagine having enough of a bond with my play station to get a picture of a controller tattooed onto my body.

With a finger that looks a bit like a limp willy

(as much as I appreciate the technical skill etc etc etc disclaimer)

Although I'm tempted by the "Michael Caine made from corks" ink work.

But surely that's the thing with tattoos they are uniquely personal? You described yours earlier and the meaning they have to you, that doesn't mean someone else wouldn't see them and think they look st.

You don't seem like the type of bloke to let's others opinions bother you so it wouldn't matter and his opinion would be worthless as he doesn't know the story.

Take the PlayStation tattoo, if it turns out that 2 guys who were in Camp Bastion always played PS3 in their downtime went out on Ops and once didn't come back, his mate decides rather than a name and a date h has this done as a very personal tribute, is it then a bad tattoo to have?

No, not at all. I'm just saying it does nothing for me.

I am interested in getting more, but I'd want a special 'bond' with it. I'll probably not find anything that does fit the bill though.

Except that's what Keyser is trying to point out. Saying that you can't imagine ever having such a bond with "insert literally anything in this bit here" for you to have it, is showing a lack of thought that actually it can and often does mean something to someone else. Not sure if empathy is the right word for it but something along those lines. That's very different to saying more simply that it does nothing for you.

"I don't want to join the army, it does nothing for me" ... is very different to "I can't imagine wanting to join the army, why would anyone want to join the army?".

You feel the same about sucking cock or whatever?

Maybe empathy is the right word. I'm an Aspergers sufferer so lack understanding of other people's emotions.

I DO get what he is saying though. I'm just stating which ones I like and don't, as he asked.

Would you let someone tattoo you entirely to their own design?

Absolutely, as long as I had seen examples of his work and had agreed a basis for the piece then why not, thats essentially what you are doing when you have a large piece done anyway.

Edited to expand on that

When I had my japanese koi sleeve done, I had researched the artist, viewed his work and specifically tattoos of a similar style. When we had the consultation I explained the style I liked and that I liked the Koi.

From there he got his pen out and started drawing on me, it gives you a very rough idea of size and location but I had no real idea of what the finished item would look like.

Can we get this thread back on track?

What happened to the bloke who had a tattooed sports bra?

How's that looking now?

Oh yeah - I remember that.

He got quite upset. Poor chap.

It's the internet. Why would I be upset?

Good for you, good for you.

Show us your tits then.

Typical dailyMail nonsense. If she got paid for this story then I'm in the wrong job!
Can't see how that's different to most tattoos. She had an idea, he didn't do it freehand as the article said and she did had an input into it. What bks.

I'm not sure if anyone would be interested but I've started to have a couple of old tattoos lasered off so I can get my sleeve completed. These were old tattoos I had in my youth and we're pretty rubbish. They were too dark to get tattooed over so I need them lightened so I can get more 'constructive' work done. The start of my sleeve was posted many pages ago Last year but wondered if it was worth posting the removal process.

I'm sure many people have thought about getting old ones removed. All I can say so far after one session is that it's more painful than the tattoos originally, and it makes your skin blister and become raw.

What exactly do they do?

[Bungleaio]

Photos of the removal would be good.

[honest_delboy]

@Mrchips, who are those artists?

[MrChips]

The black and grey ones are Florian Karg and the more surreal ones are Tomasz “Tofi” Torfinski.
Tofi does a guest spot at Kamils studio (where I had mine done) which is how I first saw his work, although I've yet to see any in the flesh so to speak.

I'd quite like one of Florian's original paintings as well, just trying to get hold of one is almost as hard as booking a slot to get tattooed!
