Tattoos

You don't need to name the culprits.

I want the stories hahaha.

Maybe when she retires I will come back and entertain you all. It is not just the bum that gets things shoved into, some men seem to enjoy shoving all sorts of things down their penis (and cause all kinds of damage).

Don't kink shame me.

Sounds nasty ;)

Anyone had any experience with Julian Bogdan Noir at Dirty old town in hackney! https://instagram.com/julian.bogdan.noir.corpus?igshid=YTQwZjQ0NmI0OA==

People with knee/thigh tattoos. Do you have them facing upside down (so they look 'right' when you look at them) or vise versa? Would you in hindsight have chosen the opposite?

I'm leaning towards one being the right way up when I look at it, but it being 'upside down' messes with my head.

I have them the right way up as if you were looking at someone with them

Crap photo but both of my knee tattoos are this way up. I wouldn't have thought of having them the other way up and wouldn't want them to be.
(Blatant excuse to show off my crocs).

Thanks both :)

Ancient photo, still not got the other one done (but am thinking about it again)
Will also be oriented this way (and maybe a walrus)

This is the only correct response when people ask about upside down tattoos ;)

That said, your body, your rules so you do whatever feels right :)

The one on my inside thigh is sort of sideways on, but more right for me than for anyone looking at it. The one on my shin is the other way round.

I’ve been thinking about getting a big thigh piece, a wraparound kind of thing, featuring some characters I like and I think for it to work make sense, it has to be upside down for me and right way found for everyone else.

What about having a mirror image version so you can have both. Facing you on the top and facing the world on the bottom.

You could even post rationalise/infer the meaning of you being ontop of the world.

Just get yourself a cool S, right both ways round

Every single tattoo I have, legs or not, is the correct way up if someone is standing facing me. But that's just me. You do you moocher.

Speaking of which, got these in the last month or so. The moon was an apprentice's third tattoo and first on an arm, hence the not perfect appearance....

Little wonky spaceship

Disappointing trip to the tattoo studio on Thursday. My knees are too wonky to get them tattooed with the design I had in mind. Was going to get my left knee done with a tiger face (to be followed by a snow leopard on the right later). We tried playing around with placement and with doing a different angle but to no avail.

So this has now evolved to 2 x 3/4 sleeve or 2 x full leg sleeves?

Need to give it some thought. I wish I wanted small tattoos! This was supposed to be just be a nice small project. Just two days work!

Damn, that's a shame! Is there no way to rework the design to make it fit the space any better?

Nah I’ve got these weird sinovial fluid lumps over the top of my knees. Makes the cats look like Sloth from the Goonies. We tried moving him and also redesigning couldn’t make it work

Do it.

Ah fair! Maybe go for something more decorative and abstract on the knees at some point if you still fancy getting them done.

Shite pic but my partner finished up her sleeve with Kanae today. The colours are seriously rich in person.

Image is rotated. She was wiped out on the sofa 😅
