Do you have a tattoo?
Discussion

Wit the cost of desirable artists work rising, I wonder if attitudes will reverse once more. With the social elite choosing to display their status through the art on ones body once again.
No chance.Most people can't tell the difference between great tattoos and garbage ones. "covered in tattoos" is a s
t look for some occupations or lifestyles regardless of whether they were done by Kamil or some bloke in a back street on a stag do in Blackpool...ali_kat said:
As his Mother has chosen not to say, I cannot either. However, i can say that they'd not hold him back in any future career (hand model aside 
)
fair enough, I assume it is some sort of creative industry where views are more liberal, tattooed hands would probably not get you in the door where I have worked (and look a bit naff IMHO) but good luck to him )missingbadly999 said:

Errrrr.......hello? Is he God and has complete self destiny?
That's a load of Old bks. Not much of a life if you ask me if you have to plan it.
He must be very boring
I'm quite staggered at this. How can you comment on someone in such a way based purely on the fact that they have tattoo's?ROFL

Employers (not all) tend to think like this...'Hmmm well if they are thoughtless enough to have tattoos all over their face and neck then they have little consideration on how they look and therefore must be wasters...'

Although putting it the way he has is incorrect, like it or not but the majority of society still think tattoo's are the preserve of 'rough types' It's completely wrong and judgemental but unfortunately the current generations have this view. The fact that all the youngsters these days are covered in tattoos doesn't help this as the good guys get tarred with the pleb brush.

I think you are very right and fairly wrong here. Employers (not all) tend to think like this...'Hmmm well if they are thoughtless enough to have tattoos all over their face and neck then they have little consideration on how they look and therefore must be wasters...'
The employers part, yep, I'd struggle to understand why anyone would have tattoos above the collar bone and still expect to get a job in 90% of occupations.
I don't think society is automatically so judgemental nowadays though; some will be but the number of people with tattoos does normalise it and I think most people would judge a difference between something well done and in a sensible place against an offensive/tastless/badly done tat in an unavoidable location.

I sort of agree. I am in my 40s and work in a fairly conservative industry but I don't consider people with tattoos as "rough" or "wasters". Although I have no desire to paint my body I admire the skill of some of the artwork posted above.Employers (not all) tend to think like this...'Hmmm well if they are thoughtless enough to have tattoos all over their face and neck then they have little consideration on how they look and therefore must be wasters...'
I make a big distinction however for tats on hands/neck/face as I consider this poor judgement or "my body art is more important than my career with you" and for either reason I would not employ them in my industry.
Hence my curiosity for what this young lad does for a living

Likewise, I think it shows a horrible lack of judgement and the ability to think things through logically. I really need those 2 skills in a worker so if someone had tattoo's visible on their neck I'd have serious doubts as to whether they were a good fit. I'm not saying I definitely wouldn't hire them though. Hence my curiosity for what this young lad does for a living

Even the Government are almost implementing policies to reduce this kind of view.

I searched that document for "tattoo" and that word isn't included once; where is the relevance ?Even the Government are almost implementing policies to reduce this kind of view.

4 more hours today going over David & Neptune's faces again. Hopefully fill the last gap on the back of my calf in the new year.
Was reaching my limit after that amount of time. Constantly layering the same areas really got to me.
I'll put some pics up when my leg is less elephant like in proportion.

Razor usually, although the OH used her epilator on me last night...
Shaving your armpits on a regular basis for the sake of a tattoo - seems like a mission to me! But then I'm a fundamentally lazy (and hairy!) person.It looks good though, I can imagine it being rather sore.
Out of interest, with the ink over the arm pit, will it affect sweating?I suppose it could be a bit of a mission, but it doesn't seem too bad. Using an epilator means it doesn't grow back as fast. So I'm told
It still is rather sore... By far the worst area for healing that I've had so far. Horribly painful still TBH. Shouldn't affect the sweating once healed. I've not worn any deodorant there since it was done, but then I'm washing it and applying cream every few hours...
Ye there were some pretty rough bits. When we did the piece on my ribs I took his recommendation and bought some antiseptic numbing cream. I believe they use it on children before they give them injections. It lasted for about 2 hours and enabled him to blitz the line work. Once the sensation started to come back though I think it because hypersensitive as the last half hour of that session was hell.
Today wasn't to bad because It was simply a 3 hour session. I love the guy I use because of the style of his work. He's also amazingly fast whilst maintaining detail throughout.
