Tattoos

I have three, a half moon with a shooting star round it on my shoulder blade. A flower fairy on my stomach and a celtic tree of healing on the inside of my left wrist. I agree with littlelady my wrist hurt the most.

I don't have any tattoos of my own, but I have designed them for 3 of my best friends and my husband.

They all love them and so do I!! I'm building up a little portfolio!!

Mostly I take people's initials, or other combinations of letters that mean something to them and then design the tattoo in such a way that it's not obvious that it's actually letters, it just looks like a design or a pattern.

My hubbies is my favorite, he's african and it looks really tribal but it's actually his initials.

Have you got any pics? It sounds like the kind of thing I would want for my 2 boys :)

I was going to ask the same thing. They sound AMAZING - you must be really artistic. A friend of mine in the States was going to design ours (mine and DH's - matching but obviously male/female type differences) but she had a baby and that kinda went out the window!! Would love to see what you can do if that's not being totally cheeky!! :lol:

princess as long as you take one of your parents with you, you can have them done before your 18, i had all 4 of mine between the age of 16 and 17 - the last two i got at 17 and only when with DF. :lol:

Round my area you cant, it says when you walk in there :(
 
yeah in the one i go to it has a sign saying 'NO UNDER 18s FOR TATTOOS' but if you go in with your parent they let you :) go and enquire :) xx
 
I got a capricorn billy goat and writing with 2 stars on the top of my leg which I love and a VW logo which I want removed also a couple of old indian ink ones when someone brought a bottle into school when we were about 14.

Never get partners names on!


And my billy goat hurt like being scratched hard but not an unbearable pain and when I got distracted by my fone I didnt feel it at all.
Its about a week or so later when it scabs over you need to worry about! AAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! :rotfl:

Have you got any pics, i really like this idea for getting sophie's initials.
 
Ive got a chinese sign for friendship, me and my mates all have the same one, it wasnt sore coz i was p***ed at the time, my mate has a tattoo parlour and done it for free. Had to get it recolured a while back as i used sunbeds alot when i was younger.

Im due to get another one on my left ribcage, its called motherhood, it a mermaid with a baby mermaid, the tail of the mermaid is curling up protecting it in a circle. My Tattoist, has taken a pic of mines and kaidens faces and hel change the face on it so it looks like us, im waiting til my skins has tones back up then il have it done. Ive heard it will be quite sore, id never get a mans name on my body. XkelX

1st: Pegasus on my lower back
2nd: symbol meaning "Dream" on my upper back
3rd: symbol meaning "Love" on my stomach
4th: Banner with "Chloe" and a butterfly on my inner forearm
5th: Blue butterflys and black ivy on my lower leg

As a tattooist I think I can clear this up for you!

The Law states that it is an offence for anybody under the age of 18 to get a tattoo.

Thats it, its as simple as that - illegal.

But... Generally if an under 18 yr old gets tattooed, it will only be their parents that are likely to make a formal complaint to the authorities.
So some tattooists figure that they may as well offer tattoos to over 16's with parental consent, on the grounds that they are unlikely to get into trouble.

Personally I never knowingly tattoo anybody under 18 , although I accept that some do slip through!

Most tattooists are greedy and have little concern for the wellbeing of their customers, they don't really care, they just want your cash.

Personally I did get tattooed underage, and I still don't think its a good idea. Better to wait until you are at least 25 IMO, mainly because if you get a tattoo when you are 16, by the time you are thirty its going to look quite crap.

Best advice is to spend a lot of time choosing a good tattooist, if it means waiting a year or two, then wait.

I spend alot of my working days fixing awful tattoos done by other tattooists. :(

I have to agree. I was 16 when I got the ones on my thighs done. Luckily they are high up and not many people see them. But I definitely didn't think them through. If I remember properly me and my mate decided to get them done one afternoon, we didn't even take the time to think about it. Oh to be was young, dumb and stupid again!! :rotfl:
(I'll be 30 in September and they certainly don't look as good as I remember! heheh)
 
I have 1 on my wrist, jk;s initials, one on my shoulder a tribal sign, one on the bottom of my back tribal , and a lizard on my stomach, i didnt really find any of them hurt very much, but the one i felt most was my stomach, my wrist was just tingly, was kinda nice lol
 
Hi all,

this is hubbies tatoo. It's his initials cleverly hidden in the design. Anyone guess what they are?

I'd be glad to design one for any of you guys if you let me know what sort of thing you're after and where on your body you want it.

This one is my manly style of tattoo, I don't have any pictures of the other 3 I've designed, but they were all for girls, and are a bit more 'Art Nouveau' and swirly if you know what I mean!

Ohhh it's hard to guess....maybe G W? I can see loads of letters in there though, lots of V's and C's hehe

I'm after my boys names, Mason and Brody, but probably on my lower back, so a longer, erm flattened V shape, if that makes sense?
If you want to have a go that would be great, I could at least get some ideas :D
