Do you have a tattoo?

Really? Is there an issue with this style over time?

No, not at all.

Whats the best way to represent the six of us? or just leave it as the Angel?
Thoughts welcome.
(very middle class, I have made a pinterest board of the styles and images I like, to show the artist, as I'm not 100% on what I want)

Just take your ideas and thoughts to any decent artist and work with them to get what you want. Anyone worth using will be able to advise on placement, size and style etc. They may well come up with something you'd have never thought of, but will think is perfect...

Goon news on the all clear btw

I'd like some advice please, or maybe some ideas.
The wife and I are now 5 years past her cancer diagnosis, so all clear.

Bloody brilliant news!

Slyjoe said:

She wants some flower tattoos for her scars, I would like a guardian angel of some description. High quality black / grey type of thing.

My original idea was an angel protecting representations of our 6 birth stones, I'm not sure a shopping list of names (there are 6 of us) would dignify it, and may look more at home in poundland.
Maybe something like this - I was thinking an arm piece rather than back.

That is amazing artwork.

Yep, remarkable work.

It looks slightly too far over to the rhs to me though

[jules_s]

It is remarkable work, no doubt...I really like it

All I'm saying is that given 'spread' it wont stay like that long.

I wonder if that was deliberate. i.e. someone st their pants at a couple of hours of slightly more discomfort, to be stuck with a lop sided tattoo for life.

Or the stencil wasn't applied centrally to start with.

Anyone here got a chestpiece and quite a hairy chest?

I'm no newbie to tattoos, but I'm considering some work on my chest, but not sure if it's going to look naff once the hair grows back... Seems pointless getting some good and detailed art work if the hair will just spoil it

Cheers.

[Johnny]

So just shave/wax/epilate it after?

Nice vibrant colours, no hair in the way.

half of my chest is done, and i let the hair grow back. looks fine to me.

Had more added to my front with this little beauty. iPhones take the worst pictures. Filter on to hide redness.

Horrible place to be tattooed for 3 hours.

Hopefully looks less like a bra now

Death's-Head Hawkmoth. Appropriate. I like.

Can anyone recommend somewhere good for a watercolour style?

Looking to get 'Only God can judge me' on my arm in Latin but there seems to be a couple of variations on the words. Has anybody else had this or do you know of a more definitive definition? Cheers

Great idea. I can't think of a better way to show you are both arrogant and deluded in just 5 words.

Who are you to judge him ?

Why be so rude ?

Because that particular phrase is the chav tattoo fad of the year?

Oh, yeah I forgot. This is PH where anyone with a tatt is working class scum and clearly not a company director....

Depending on how far you want to travel, I really like Lianne Moule at immortal ink in Chelmsford.

That said, I'm only going on her portfolio rather than personal experience but I'm hoping to see some of her work up close at the London convention in a few of weeks time.
