    If you're getting it done that day, I would recommend NOT drinking that night. When I got my phoenix done, it bled a good bit afterwards, and I went straight to Fibbers. I'd gone straight to Snakebite from work too, so was there in a shirt, only it was a shirt with a massive patch on the back of it where the blood was soaking through... lol

    As I don't drink though I knew it'd be ok so long as I didn't go rubbing it against everything!
    I'm thinking I should probably not go out at all afterwards.. another thing besides the drinking is the dancing and ensuing sweating (I is a classy bird) and I can't imagine sweating is good for a new tattoo. The streets of Fermoy will be safe from me for another while.

    How did you get on Paul? The same subject crossed my mind earlier because I agreed yesterday to let one of my mates do my next tattoo (am I mad? I might be) and chances are we'll go out painting the town red afterwards. I'm thinking I should lay off on the drink though because surely your body is in sort of a state of shock after being tattooed for any length of time, and getting a load of pints into it probably isn't going to help. That and I woke up in such pain this morning that I don't even want to contemplate having fresh tattoo pain on top of that :o

    Also, show us what you got!

    It was fine. I brought a along some lotion and whenever I needed to I nipped off to dab some on. I was drinking and dancing and it was OK. There was an ouch moment when I got caught in a bit of a struggle to buy a pint type scenario but overall I'm glad I went out! Also here is the tattoo:

    Oh it's so pretty! I still think I should probably leave ye olde drinking and dancing until a day that I haven't let an enthusiastic man take a needle to my stomach for three hours.

    [I is good ;)]

    Nice! I likes!
    What are they holding though? I've been trying to figure that one out with no luck so far... First thought was spray can, but the shape made me think it was something else... can of mace? ;):D

    The colours are quite weird I admit, but based on an actual piece. Was going for the graffiti effect so I guess its supposed to look a little grimy, with the spray lines and whatnot. And yeah the border is done so it can develop more but need to find the next bit though I've a good few ideas.

    I'll show you when it's done, whenever I tell people what I'm getting they start trying to persuade me out of it.

    Personally I think getting 'Heavy Metal' in gothic lettering across my stomach is a perfectly sensible thing to do.

    Ah! :D Instinct was right then! :D It's deadly, the colours are what helped me think it was a spraycan, so really suit the image!

    Not as sensible as getting something done in a language you can't understand, or crotch flames, á lá Justin from The Darkness

    Don't think the tattoo goes quite that far Davey, but they tattoo around/near intimate areas all the time, so it wouldn't phase them. It's no worse than a piercer doing a genital piercing.

    It occurred to me one night in a 'ha ha, wouldn't that be hilarious' kind of way, and then five minutes later I was like 'hang on, I actually really want that'. People seem to either think it's an amazing idea or an awful one.
