Tattoos

My daughter just said* "You want that writing? Please, please daddy - get it. I read it to you"*

(about that text on someone's back)

Turns out that one of my oldest friends (I had lost touch) is a tattoo artist.

This is his work:

This looks really beautiful, a shame it's just shopped!

That's what I thought, not a real tattoo

Yea, the 'tattooed' spine does not follow the actual spine,
plus the pelvis looks a bit out of place.

But still, I'd love to see that as a well executed tattoo;
most of these sort of things unfortunately look like 'biomech' very quickly.

Such sage advice valued friends, Pokokōhua to the both of you.

Anyone recommend someone specialising in Maori designs?

matt black at new wave tattoo is someone to at least talk to. done a lot of pattern work, indonesian, etc

Into you as well I think.

tēnā koutou hugo7, dogsballs & lileth.

Some interesting work, especially at new wave. I also checked out Jesse at Tattoo a-go-go. I was wondering if anyone had personal experience of any of them.

Tattoo a gogo are very friendly.
I know Claire and Katie but not had any work done by Jesse, what i have seen looks pretty damn good though (not my tastes, but who wants to be the same)

matt is top bloke, into bikes as well. waiting list there is getting a bit out of hand these days though.

Not really judging but it is a bit funny, in fact I think probably makes me take them less seriously - If you like it go for it sort of thing

this is a bit like G. bwah, wah hah!!

It's done by the same brothers who did the world of warcraft account cancellation, where one of them sticks a remote up his arse.

Awesome, will fade fast unless he's gone deep

I was recently asking around about hand tattoos. I was told that if I wanted it to last then I'd have to get it hand done. Apparently quite painful, even in comparison to the neck.

Saw a guy at the polo with a palm tattoo, 2yrs and it's looking good.

Yeah, or rotary(sp) machine apparently, but handpoked/done last way longer. Mine was the normal tattoo machine, a tiny heart and it's half faded
