Tattoos

Popeye and Olive look ace, but Bluto in the middle needs work.

ha :-)

Planning a trip to Berlin next year to get guy to do my hands! WHAT WHAT!!??

Nice one. That's exciting!

^^

do love his work though it's really getting a bit radical for my taste lately..
(link to picture on his blog that may be a bit 'nsfw' here).

Yeah love it to bits. I'm getting some Indian mandala/henna style patterns done.
I wouldn't get my man tit done though. Well at least not like that

But, but, that's a lady boob.. ouch! No way I'd let anyone near my areola with a tattoo needle.

(...) my hands (...)

...back of hands, or palms?

Personally can't imagine getting (back of) my hands done, like ever.
I just would not want them inked, same with breast(s).

Do really love this palm lotus of him (I know I've posted it at least one time on here, but fuck it) -

(there's a picture of it being two years old here)

I guess this will hurt like crazy. I'm pretty tolerant of physical pain, but still.
Also I'm really pondering whether it's such a good idea to get zapped in the palm.
*If somebody on here has an educated opinion on this, please share!
*Maybe it's just me, but nerves in my hands / fingers are really touchy.
I cut a delicate stencil for an hour, like a week ago, and my forefinger still aches / feels 'imprinted'.

Is there somebody on here who's experienced in doing acupuncture / acuclosure?
I'd really like to learn about possible long-term issues concearning this, before letting somebody tattoo my palm.

Oliver Peck seems not too pleased about getting his palm done, Thomas Hooper on the other hand (badum-tish) is much more zen about the whole situation.

Well getting the backs of my hands done when i go.
But would love my palms done aswell. probably by him of Boff Konkerz

Oliver Peck is a bitofa douche though.
He's definitely playing up to the camera. There was a guy getting his palm done a while back by Ryan at shangri la and he seemed fine

I think I have a mancrush on Thomas Hooper...

I know right

I'd like this on an inner, upper arm....? Tarot card, two of swords...

likes fixed gears, got tattoo??
yep this guy has.

What exactly is going on with that middle sprocket?

I'd like to see it with someone else taking the photo so his chest isn't caving inwards.

Think I'm going to get it done by a local guy called Eric The Viking.
Guy works out of Berlin so sort of heavy cost wise to get multiple sessions done...

My housemate's had some work by him. Is he definitely in Berlin? Just wondering as last time we were chatting about tattoos she was going to get some work before leaving the UK.

Albrecht Durer is one of my all time inspirations.

His stuff does look like it translates to tattoos well. I remember looking at bits of his work when I studied modern German history.

Would it be ok to clingfilm the fuck out of it and tape it up for a quick bit to shoot a few takes or should I just stay out of the water altogether?

You should just stay out of the water altogether.

Yeah works so beautifully on skin

What exactly is going on with that middle sprocket?

that middle sprocket has a very well groomed sack.

Starting to save for a full torso piece...

There's so much more from Durer than Jesus on a cross.
I've got a stylised Durer's bit in mind for myself, but would stick to a mystical symbolism and avoid obvious Christian motives.

Aye, not to question your faith, commitments or beliefs Joss but that is a pretty intense bit of artwork and you are but a young gun...

I want to be fully covered. And there's no time like the present ey. I'm guessing your meaning size wise?

Erm, more do you really want a huge Jesus accross your chest?

How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

I'd think twice. If you really like it, then go ahead. You just don't want to end up looking like a maniac :-)*

*) Still, half of the hipsters with old school neck and hand pieces would scare the shit out of grannies in Russia.
