Ink

i guess it was quite fashionable (?) to have chinese characters around the time of that article.

there are a couple of secretaries at my place who have similar stuff all over their bingo wings...

i really don't get why people have Chinese writing tattooed on them...unless they have some genuine connection with china its a load of shit,like an attempt to look 'cultured'....bollocks!*
*does not included my sister :)
Bunch of cunts the lot of them

what would love, honour and obey mean to him anyway?

I'm thinking of getting this, 5cm wide, right shoulder

I'm an archaeologist btw, hence the flint

I was wishing 'Flint' was your name.

if only...

i know a girl who speaks chinese, she is allways laughing at poples stupid tatoos, and what the artist actually wrot on them.

do you know anyone that speaks English?

ha!

here's a pal from san fran sisco's work..

this was my plan for a while- the true staff of asclepius

as opposed to :

which is a biomedical staff- the caduceus of hermes

with:
'matar' in arabic transliterated- my family name.

depends what style you're after.
Saira Hunjan at the Family Business is really, really good.

Scroll down. He still dabbles. There is still Hope!

It works both ways.. I saw loads of Japanese wearing t-shirts with random english words on them coz they were cool. Shit like "big fish that little fish is big fish that little fish is big fish that little fish is big fish that little fish is" etc..

at least engrish isnt perminant tho

Into You, Frith Street and Jolie Rouge

not sure this or mikes are both close to the worlds worst tattoo!

Check out the London Tattoo Convention this weekend fro Friday to Sunday at Tobacco Dock . It has moved from the Truman Brewery in Brick lane as it got too kaotic there

Best advice is to get there early on Friday to find the artist that you like & book asap . Beware - it gets busy

I've got a bike related tattoo.. it's a slightly modded 36T Sugino chain ring with a Standard Bykes phoenix behind it. Standard were the shit in the 90's and Bobby Fisher gives me a hard-on so that's why I got it. Nothing special but it means something to me i guess
