I have eight tattoos and love them all. I couldn't care less if some snob does not like them, it's my life and it's about what I like.
I had most of them done when I have been abroad and this has given me my ideas on the art I decided to put on my skin.

Not really, I have 4 (one each forearm and a joined one on my lower left leg)
The arms were fine, uncomfortable is the best word.
The side of my leg was OK, the most painful bit was sitting in a chair and getting cramp in my hip whilst he did it for an hour.
The part on my calf muscle did actually hurt like a bitch though.
I'm planning a few more but have a wedding to finish paying for in August though so they're on hold.
I want a good one of my daughter done, unsure of whether to go for a portrait or just something sentimental to me. She's nearly 2 now so we're beginning to amass quite a few photos that would make a cracking portrait. I've found a good portrait artist but I've seen portraits go horribly horribly wrong so I'm not committing yet.
The other is a Brighton related one, not the club badge, thinking of a leg sleeve for the other lower leg, that portrays my beloved home town. A montage so to speak comprising Seagulls, maybe the roof line of the Amex, the pavilion domes, the palace pier, steine, I know what I'm thinking but unfortunately I can't draw for **** so I'm having trouble explaining it.

Why does the girl on the right (i think it's a girl
) have a sausage roll under her hat?
I know what you mean, I can see it in my mind but my drawing skills are non existent. That's where getting to know an artist is very important. You need to be able to portray an idea and let them put it into a drawing, the design stage can take a long time, with tweaks and alterations. You have to be happy with it at the end of the day and don't settle for a compromise. You'll only regret it otherwise.
And don't try and barter with a tattoo artist, it's like building, if you want cheap then you get cheap, if you pay the right rate or maybe offer a bit more then you know the artist is gonna try his damnedness to please, try undercutting them and you'll get a piece of work that justified the price.
Just my two cents worth.

Trailer trash? Are you an American?
I bet you have met lots of people in your life, some you have met you would have liked and got on with.
Some of these people have tattoos that are covered up with clothes.
Nuts, someone stole my tattoo idea:-

Has someone taken scissors to his ear?
Is that Harry Potter?
