Rockhard---My Aunt&Uncle went to Ireland a few years ago!They
were going to get a copy of my family crest.I pictured something
like;roaring Lions heads or the like.Imagine my dissapointment
when they came back with the real thing.My family name is"Ahern"
and it was a couple of heron birds.Nothing wrong with that but
my"Macho"expectations sure took a blow. Irish
P.S.Moral--Don't count your chickens before they are hatched!Once again my legs are tired from JUMPING to conclusions.

The guy who does my ink, tells me that the best places to get tattoos...if you're not into the pain, would be areas that get a lot of exposure (ie. areas that get a lot of sunlight, are touched frequently...areas that aren't as sensitive, and areas with pleanty of "meat"...haha...fat in my case). I've kept to his advice, with the exception of one, and so far, I'd say Carlos knows what he's talking about.

well, now, such ain't always the case with the flabby folks. there are other factors at play. first, tattooing over stretch marks is a fiery bitch. not only does the process of tattooing chubby flesh take longer on its own than (i hate to use the word) 'normal' skin, but ink put in through stretch-marked skin adds even more chairtime and usually looks, well, pretty shitty. but ya know, the most important part, above all else, is that you shouldn't be dissuaded from the experience just because it might be a little tougher for you to get tattooed than somebody else. as long as ya stay open-minded, flexible, and patient, you'll be fine.

if ya go to this link (http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/bobbysink), you can take a look at some early pics when i first started gettin' inked. i think you hafta join the club to see 'em, but it only takes a second. i'd just attach the files, but for some reason, i can't figure it out.

my tat hurt like hell but it was worth it... I love it.
The place I got my tat done was involved in a shooting so it closed down... I don't want to go anywhere else... unfortunately I'm going to have to go to florida to find Johnny Rotten again but it would be worth it.

Always Kyttn

Hi!!
I have to agree with Nazz, i have many tats and im a girl I can say that the feeling is one of a kind and can not be put in words!.. I love all the ones i have and love every min that i sat in that chair. I think i have about 15 tats all together and they are not small, but are still hidden. have some on both legs and one on my shoulder, that is an irish heart and birds that says daddy's girl. Then farries and goblins all over my legs, cats on the other ankle, and two goblins on my lower back.. They arent ugly or gross just my style...
One word of wisdom is THINK about what you want to get because if you get something you are not sure of and you arent happy, well there is only two options, cover up's that tend to be painfull and hard so ive heard, or get it removed. Dont know how that one feels tho hehe....
~oOo~ Sarriah ~oOo~

i usta be nazzreth, so...

any chance you'd have photos handy of yer work, Sarriah? i love to see other people's ink and, well, i have a thing for heavily tattooed women. *grin*

i'm in the process of gettin' some work on my right arm covered, and most everything on it will eventually follow. i haven't noticed that it's any more or less painful, just kinda strange. however, when i had a wack-ass piece on my right leg fixed, it hurt like hell for a few minutes and scarred pretty badly because of how poorly the ink was put in to begin with. *headshake* fuckin' scratchers...

as for removal, i'm told it's substantially more painful than gettin' inked in the first place, and easily five or six times more expensive.

Reverend Silky---I just crossed Nazzereth off of my list & entered
Reverend Silky.You'ld better not change your mind because I'm
running out of room by my computer.The guy who did my tattoos
originaly;would go over your tattoos if he did them so I assume
that he used the right ingredients.(sp) Irish
P.S.That was 25-30yrs ago so he's probably dead now.He was pretty old then!By go over them;I meant change them.

HI!,
Silky, I had pics of all the before and during and after work of all my tats, but got some weird virus on my comp that just targeted the pics that i had on there Wierdest thing i have ever seen LOL... I am new here and im saving some money up to get a better cam and will gladly take some for you..
ttfn
Sarriah --,--'-@
ps will you post some of yours too ?

i'll stay Silky for a while, Irish... probably. heh. the reason i didn't have the original slinger redo the leg-piece was because, well, he's as much an artist as Hitler was a humanitarian. i only let him carve on me to begin with because it was free and i was still new to the industry.

that's cool, Sarriah. no hurry or anything on the photos. just lemme know.

as far as postin' my own, the best thing i can do is post a link to a site where you can find a few examples of my work, since i'm a slobberin' tech-tard and dunno how to attach pics:

http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/bobbysink

i think ya hafta join to see the albums, but it only takes a few seconds.

[B]I only have one though Souls is designing me another... mine was a highschool grad gift from my dad (I wanted my nipples pierced but he wouldn't hear of it) I didn't know what I wanted on me for the rest of my life (until I met souls heheheh...) so I chose something very dear to me. My religon. I have a tat that is 3 inches in diameter on the right side of my lower back... it hurt like hell but it was worth it...
my advice is this: get something that is VERY meaningful to you but not too cliche....

That's good advice, BamaKyttn. Kyttn knows me & that I'm a tattoo artist of 12 years. I myself have 27, 25 of which I did. Getting one that's important to you is the most important thing.
2nd would be where it's at. Anywhere ya get it, it's gonna @ least sting.The more flesh in the area, the less it'll hurt.If ya want it on your shin or somewhere on bone, it'll hurt MORE. The tattoo
on my palm hurt more than the skull in the center of my chest
Think hard of what ya want & where. == ; )

Yeah, it took me about 3 years to figure out what I really wanted done, eventually went for a Celtic circle....then couldn't resist and got another one a couple of years later. I would really like another one but need to think of a location.
