hey guys,

after getting my first, very simple tattoo 6 weeks ago, I just got my secomd piece done on Friday in Snakebite. 3 and Half hours and the shading hurt like hell. but it turned out great and I am delighted with it.

strange, shading is usually the easy bit, outline being the sore part. Erin is a really nice girl though and despite not being inked by her before I know her work is top notch.




p.s. Jasus Will, first the shin, then he top of the foot, you really like inking the sore parts dont you. Tatt looks really great, well done.

Will

glutton for punishment it seems

Shimei

yeah especially when you wrap your ankle in cling film but not the tattoo itself.ha ha! hard look with the competition chap.didn't get to see many of the other leg pieces but i thought the judges spent a bit of time looking at yours compared to some of the others.ah well.maybe next year! just a pity you tore arse off stage without showing the crowd and letting people take pics!

vangoz

ah cool, that was lovely man, i'd say your a happy camper yeah?

Wrecked beyond belief, was just so draining. Although the saturday was way worse cause we both had stinking hangovers ouch. Think it was about 7 - 8 hours tattoo time altogether, how long were you going for?

Shimei

Wusses with your pain relief spray!

Ssshh you... you coulda done with it by the look on your face 3 hours in:p

Pic of my new tattoo... also done by living art > Dominick McIntosh at the convention this weekend..

Haven't got a pic of my old tattoo but it was just "Sarah"

Will

You can't even see where the original tattoo was, whopper job and whopper tattoo.

Nice symbolism with the phoenix too i think, from an old tattoo you weren't too fond of has risen a new one which you will hopefully love lots colours are amazing also

Shimei

that is awesome!
wouldn't even know it was a cover up!
he did a savage job!
you've gotta be happy with that!
in fact i think everyone's gotta be pleased with their tattoos from the con cause i sure know i am!
definitely gonna get some ideas together for next year!

Cookie Jar

Im delighted with it... spent all day showing it off.... although my mam just rang me from Brussels to tell me she is on her way home and that she hopes I didnt get any tattoos over the weekend... how do mothers always know...:rolleyes:

Overall... great convention... great tattoos.. great weekend... same time next year folks:D

I found it *brags* I think the "sarah" adds to it, and its barely visible. I wouldn't have noticed if she didn't say it was in there. What a gorgeous tattoo *steals cookie's tattoo* :P

Hey guys,

Just thought I would post pics of my first tattoo... Done by Attila in Wildcat Jervis. Great dude, pretty cool place/people!

Anyways, havent posted pics on here so heres hoping I dont make a balls of it!

CianRyan

Seriously good sleeve there, man.

KevArno

Thanks man, was fairly nervous about it, it being the first and all! But I had waited since I was about 15 to get a tattoo and i knew I wouldnt be happy with something small so meh, feck it! Very happy with it, Attila did a great job, helped me a long way with the design, so glad that it is in no way how I wanted it to look at the start, I got an education along the way

koneko

Attila is great, he did one of mine, my zombie tat
I can't take a picture of my own leg to save my life, I'll get someone else to take a better pic, it looks much better in person.
