kinda my personal logo. it's on my left wrist.

okay, now does anybody know how to make a pic smaller? like, shrinking or cropping? *headshake* god, i suck.

Rev, you need a pic editing program like Imager, most digicams come with one. Most all have a way to crop & resize down to the file size limitation here.

HI rev, i have new pics of my tats got my cam working im going to start a new thread for em right now...

Been a while since I popped in here at Pixies! Shame on me! I know this thread hasn't been added to in ages, maybe some new folks will see it and add some art of their own :)

My first, done...oh hell, almost 8 years ago now! At 21st Century Tattoo in Portland, OR...

I'm a Virgo, so this is me! Done 7.5 years ago, by Painless Ric in Camas, WA...one of the few professional tattoo artists who has no ink of his own! He's pretty good for a nakedskin guy though :) He was also my piercist. (Is that a word?)

My crappy one...damn me for letting a half-assed scratcher touch me! Ah well, I was younger and stupid then...sheesh. Someday I'll have it covered up, but it tickled so much here! I actually have a full belly piece dreamed up, dunno if I'll ever go through with it though. If so, this one will be modified to an Athabascan style orca, with an Athabascan heron on the other side of the navel, with tribal twining between the two...my totem animals.

Great tats!!!!! I am glad to see you back!!! :p

This one was done by Chris Ball at Black Hills Tattoo and Piercing in Rapid City, SD. Unfortunately, Chris was killed in a motorcycle accident the 8th of July. He was a good artist and a good friend, and my thoughts are still with his wife and children. Fortunately, he will live on in the many beautiful creations he's done over the years. I am honored to have his work on my body. It's a special bond you can make with someone who permanently changes you, but I'm sure ya'll here understand that I guess the completed back design will have to be accomplished by another, though I have faith I can find someone here who can make the grade!

I got the Virgo tat done several years ago, then wanted to add. I wasn't sure how to work other pieces around it because I plan on eventually having most of my back covered, but I didn't want it to look really patchwork and disconnected, you know? The new piece has the modified triskele at the center, representative of the three aspects of the Goddess. Usually the design is more rounded and curvy, but I found that version while browsing online and liked the sharper look. I agree it looks a bit like blades, it is a reminder to me of sources of strength (such as the Morrigan). The Virgo now also represents the Maiden, and in the future will be joined by a Mother figure below the triskele, and a Crone figure in the matching spot of my right shoulder blade. That's the plan anyway! I think in the end there will be some space between that grouping and the one I have plotted for my lower back. Now I just need to win the lottery and find an artist in the area, lol! Or just date an artist, hehe. Feed the addiction!

OK, done babbling now...:D

Fantastic ink! Love the new back piece, very cool.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to get a tattoo once on my shoulder but my ex told me they were sleazy. I also have a VERY low threshold of pain...getting a blood test is the death of me....do they hurt really bad? inquiring minds would like to know. btw, the one i would like would be a tiny angel holding a rose on my left shoulder. kinda cliche, angel on my shoulder, Rose being in memory of my Nanny.

i don't have enough room to say everything i wanna say here, but i'll talk with ya about it over a messenger service or sumthin if yer really interested in gettin some ink knowledge dropped on ya. just drop me a PM.

Rev.Silky or Uncle Silky(whatever)---I have always liked;tastefull;
tatoos and have wanted more but couldn't condone;the price that
they get now.Both of my daughters have one apiece.One;a small
rose; on her lower stomach.One;a celtic shamrock;on her lower leg.My wife just got a small shamrock;on the top of her foot.I have wanted a tribal band;on my biceps area;for years.My wife hates them;but it's my body!A few years ago;I broke a tendon;above my right biceps;doing Preacher Curls.I never had it
surgically repaired and it is noticable.If I get a tribal band;it would
;probably;be on my left arm;for that reason.I am thinking seriously;of getting one and wondered if you think;that they are
worth the money.Bodybuilding;is my hobby;and I have fairly large
arms.I would like to get another tattoo;before I get"old man's"skin;and want your opinion.I know that it is your profession ! Irish
