First Tat, Was 16. But am happy with how it turned out. i got the image in my head, Then put it on paper went in to Dragon tatoos in town and explained how i would like it to look, I got to say she did a good job,

Took 3 hours, Was starting to like the pain, Can see why people like getting tats :P



its on my arm,

tread_softly

literally haven't been on the boards in years, but thought i'd share the latest with everyone. i asked would it hurt more than the ribs and was told no but he lied and i was in tears getting it done. i still want to get background done, and i have €300 worth of vouchers to help me with that!

it's meant to look all watercolouredy. i love it. a prize for whoever guesses where it's from!!!!

Star Lord

Oh that's stunnin! I love the style of it!!!

What kinda background are you thinking of?

tread_softly

i was thinking really brush-work like cherry blossom branches, kind of like this:

stephaniesm.jpg

but done delicately and lightly so they don't take away from the main picture

>.< any other ideas?! it won't be done for a while mind you. it was the worst tattoo experience i've ever had, it was so painful and the most itchy, but halfway through the healing stage i discovered tattoo goo and was so delighted!

if anyone is looking for a good cream for healing your tattoo i really recommend it. it's bright green and smells like lavender and is so soothing.

i get it in celestial ring (i hate the new name!) in stephen's green. it's good to use on old tattoos aswell to brighten up the colour a bit

Will

you live pretty close to me, im in terenure.
who is doing the tattoo? im thinking jani but have doubts, dont have a clue where its from

tread_softly

mark in celestial, jani is amazing, but i've got the majority of mine done by mark and trust him.

he's a brilliant artist, he free handed my ribs and made the perfect design after i gave him the detailed description of wanting something japanese with wind!

Will

very cool, a suggestion would be maybe having an autumnal season in the background with petal flying about and some more wind maybe stemming from your side piece

tread_softly

yeah he actually suggested connecting the two, might do that!
do you have any yourself?

Will

tattoos? yeah mines back in the thread somewhere, dig it out if ya want, its a maori side piece

Sebzy

new years resolution "more posting less lurking"

My toys

tread_softly

haha, took me years to find it! nice tho, who did it?

Will

Michele from art tattoo in templebar.

tread_softly

i've never even heard of that or is that the one upstairs above that hippy shop!?

Will

its above cafe irie, which is above the hippy shop i think. its on fownes street, just off central bank

tread_softly

yeah that's the one, never knew it's name!

Will

learn something new everyday

Here's my first (and only so far) tattoo - got it done in Vibe in Sligo about 2 months ago, phot is from the day I got it:



It's based (broadly) on my clan mon from Legend of the Five Rings. I;m thinking of getting this next, it's my family mon from the game:

Will

modesty is over-rated

tread_softly

sorry for poor quality of photos

Some savage tattoos there Tread Softly. Really loving the back piece. It's absolutely gorgeous. Looks really really well done too. Well done for finding someone who did such a good job on it.

Never easy (due to anatomical constraints and inability to check the focus) to take pics of yourself, we all have this problem so don't worry.:)

Took me a minute to remember where I knew moogle from, kupo!:D

Will have to try take and post pics of at least one of my 2 new UV text (got them just before Xmas) tattoos, with and without UV, once the scarring finishes fading (probably another month or so). If nothing else it'd give people a proper idea of what to expect from the UV ink.

Star Lord

Actually just got myself a digital SLR, so anyone looking for pics taken of their pieces I can do it for them.

[ps - just remembered someone else offering something similar last week... don't wanna tread on their toes! I can't offer the studio thing, but I'd do them for free]
