Tattoos

[Blackstar]

This is a discussion thread. I understand they are not everyones taste and i respect that. But if that is the case then please stay out of this thread, as much as you are entitled to your opinion i don't want to hear it.

Sidewinder asked a few questions and since quite a large percentage of the members here have tattoos i figure why not make a thread.

My stars on my spine were my first tattoo. I got them just after i turned 18. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't hugely pleasant but it wasn't awful. Erik my tattooist started at the top on my neck.

Having my neck tattooed was a bizarre experience, feeling buzzing in my throat. Errrk. It wasn't really painful just strange, like someone scratching away at my neck. Mid-back was probably the most painful as the bone is closer to the surface, i stupidly forgot to eat and my blood sugar dropped half way through i went pale and promptly boked lucasade orange. After a little break and some sugary snack, i was back to get the last few done. It was bearable and the entire tattoo took an hour and a half. Cost about £70.
