thinking ink

Never liked tat's I'm afraid.

I'm of an age where I associate them with a certain type of person.

Just an age thing I guess.

Depends on the graphic surely?

@Doug Boardley , check out Polish Dan on face book. Awesome tattooist .. I'll tag you.

And I agree on the grey scale , will look amazing.

It doesn't to be honest. This may be more a reflection on me than the artwork itself.

If it's something discreet that is covered when wearing a T shirt then I find that fine.

I guess I look at this as someone who employs people. I don't like artwork on show.

This is a shift fashion and acceptability that has left me behind I'm afraid. Particularly with women, it is deeply unattractive to see tattooed women in my personal opinion.

MID
LIFE

Not a fan of tats at all, don't get me wrong some of the art is amazing , my daughter has a few.
I nearly had some to do with boxing when I was a teen,but I bugged out, not a fan of needles either

I've been looking at some c.republic artist that's really well known with the tattoo boffins. Work is akin to the old paintings you see worth millions. I think it takes balls to be a tattooist. Although know a few kitchen tattooists that are quite good but it's hit and miss.

I'll try find some I was looking at. Bloody awesome stuff some of it.

Like @ATSDiamondTools though I think on a lass they can look a bit chav no matter what they have or where. Seen a few I like, but usually always makes me think they're filthy when they're covered in them. Not always a bad thing I guess.

After checking his work out, I haven't found a tattooist in the whole of the UK that I'd let near my arm.

Mid life crisis Doug.......go out and get a motorbike instead.

My son has his whole back covered, but still not finished.........its cost him about a grand so far.

I never had one but I indeed think to get one.I ve seen some wicked geometric design also I do animations and modelling some quantum physics stuffs so I am planning to do myself some hypergeometric image for my own ink.
Cheers

Not into it personally.
But, diversity makes the world interesting.
Can't stand them on ladies though....yuk.

Do they still turn into big blue blobs when you are 70, like Merchant Navy Tats from the 60's???

Go for it, but they are addictive, I have a few and plan others.
You just need to find the right artist to do it, someone who specialises in that type of tattoo.
Whatever anyone says it does hurt.
