ugliest

beside central bank in town, upstairs from the music (cant think of the name)..shop+the 2 trendyish clothes shops+beside hysteria, follow the sound of the buzzing needle.

(before you get to fun guy's+after the foggy dew, very nice location in heart of temple bar)

amazingemmet

No they moved out of there and i think thats the new place they moved to, might be wrong though.

Well the first one is 2 witches casting a hailstorm. I didn't put the rain clouds in it when I redrew it. One's holding a snake and one's holding a rooster which apparently represents "light" and the snake is "dark"...
The other one is a witch with her lover.. who just happens to be the devil.

Thanks I think they were from the 1400's I will have to check again what date I based them from.

Just got around to looking through all 19 pages of this thread. Absolutely stunned by porn_star's tat. Think that's just beautiful. Also think ugliests is really really nice. Both really feminine and gentle. Really nice.

I must admit that I wouldn't have been a big fan of most tattoo's I'd seen on women before, but they were mostly stereotypical ones. It was my (obviously limited) experience that there was more variety in tattoo's on men. Silly me.

I think we may have converted one
In fairness though, the 2 ladies tattoo's are great examples of art work.
And tattoo'd/pierced ladies are hot! Just in case ya didnt know

I've a music tatt on my right arm (from U2's "One") - here's some pics:

And some Hebrew at the back:

Now, on my left arm is a Ying-Yang, and feel it's a bit bare:

I was looking for any ideas........???? I was thinking of getting some peom or song lyric translated into Arabic and put round the Ying-Yang in a spiral kinda thing, but I'm open to alternative suggestions

Zapp Brannigan

^^ Incredible.

Shamanic

thank you!

Will

Yeah it is lovely, nice clean lines, all the hall makrs of a good tattoo

ladybirdirl

Hey there,

Haven't posted on this forum before but Shamanic that tattoo is astounding!!

Stupid question now, if I got a small ladybird on my lower back what would the pain approx - my brother told me the more the artist has to lift the needles the more the pain?

Upper right arm there's a celtic/tribal design

Inside right bicep is a celtic dog design from the book of kells (symbolising fidelity and loyalty) and a trinity knot

Left arm - I'm getting a half-sleeve polynesian kirituhi design. It's going to incorporate an aztec dragon design I already had there. 2 sittings done..hopefully one more to go. I'll keep adding pictures to the site as it develops. (I don't have a photo from the second sitting yet. :rolleyes: )

I've got a kanji symbol on my leg too..but hey - doesn't everybody these days?!? It's been there for ages though (honest!):D

Here are my two,
The first I got down 10 years ago and the colors are starting to bleed especially around the eyes. It is on my upper right arm



The second one was down 2 years ago, on the left arm. It was kinda hard to get a decent pic as it is spread over most of my upper arm and around the back slightly. Am very happy with this one, even if it is starting to fade a bit.


Am searching for my 3rd one now. A wolf, but not one of the ones you usually see, I kinda know what I am looking for, but don't know if I would be able to describe it. Anybody know any of the parlours that would be good at this kind of design work, or any you would recommend

I know what my 4th and 5th are going to be, very small around the ankle area, again just have to find the right style/shape/size etc.

BTW love all the tats, esp Ali Cat's

Here's my first tat, I got it about three weeks ago in marjorca! It cost €200 and it hurt like hell! It's also a custom design!
