Finally after 10 years of consideration I’ve finally booked in for my first tatt in September. 10 bloody years is a long time I tell you… ever since I was 16 I’ve been after the arty scar. At 14 I had my ear pierced – 18 months later I had 6 piercings and hadn’t even finished my GCSE’s. Duely noted, I figured if I had a tatt at 16 years by the time I reached 20 I’d be covered in them – and most of them I’d probably regret.

So I resisted and waited until I felt more mature – plus waited to see what sort of body shape I’d grow into – and alas finally the tatt man and I have booked a date raaa

I’m going for a Michael Jackson gravestone

Nah not really…

It’s a leaf design starting from my shoulder blade, going over my trap and finishing on my chest. There’s one the other side too, making it symetrical. The idea is I wanted the tatt to look like it was grown on / attached to me. Merged into the design are 8 symbols, mainly from western Africa, that represents aspects of my personality – things like ‘creativity’ ‘patience and tolerance’ stuff like that plus a couple of signs for protection.

It’ll look the cows titties when it’s done, I’ll whack a picture up on here in a couple of moths or so :bounce_fl

I think if theyre tastefull and not too butch I think they look ace (I have a thing for “emo” girls =). I wanted a sleeve but the NHS doesnt employ doctors with tattoos that cant be covered. I think I might get a three quarter sleeve in “Nu School” style and of the key points in my life. I think its pretty good because as stuff happends I can add to it and its relevent. What do you lot think about this and would you ask for a different doctor if he came in and had a full sleeve?

I couldnt give a shit what my doc looked like as long as they know what they on about, but I can understand the constraints you are faced with. (*and I’m sure this will be the pretty much common viewpoint on this forum – due to the peeps who ppost on here* )
different depts have different tollerance levels, but they do go on about ‘proffesional’ apperance in some jobs and I guess if thats what you wanna do – you may have to compromise
your idea sounds good – as you say you can add to it – and its always worth getting stuff personal and with meaning if you gonna live with it for your lifetime :bounce_fl

(there was a thread here ages ago about this subject – I’ll try and find it if I can and bump it )

I am not a great fan of tatoos but sometimes they are very nice…

“Little Victories” on my right wrist for my 21st hopefully.

If I don’t waste my loan on debauchery beforehand anyway.

i know what tat i want, dunno how to describe it tho. need 2 start trawling though galleries to see if theres anything similar out there. its musical. but for now, must work!

i took ages to decide so i didnt get 1 id regret!!! got a wicked dragon on my arm now i fuckin loooooooooooove. that tiger tatt looks awsome bruv : )
