Penis tats are a specialty ha ha , there are better Penis ones not up there as well

This one's amazing:

Scrapper, can't wait to see it finished!
My feet and toes really hurt as well! And I'm too chicken to add anymore to it!

I was meant to have a tattoo last month on my birthday but I wasnt well, and havent got around to re-booking it for next month. Fail.

My toes hurt like buggery. Fortunately I just had a comedy slogan inked on 'em, but still, bloody nora.

TinyMissBecca's work is absolutely blowing me away atm. Really tempted to book in a chest piece, but I want to go to California this year too. Annoying.

Yeah she does some really nice work, she owns the studio where my friend works as well so double backed.

getting cut again on thursday. cant wait actually.mmmmmm.endorphines.

what like scarification?

Probably a masochist.

no like
probably not

Oh sweet, that that dude Steve? That guy has some crazy pieces, absolutely amazing stuff.

was going to get some horns inserted, you know similar to that red dude in that shit film of a comic, would have looked well sick.
then realised it might not have gone down too well in assembly with 5 year olds,

so just getting some dot work innit.
will post pics.

please do so.

*is green with envy*

should be good yeah, have wanted this for 10 years and its going to be special.

I have a 3D implant but it wont show up and has been there since early 2009, so gunna have it taken out...
I have a scar below a microdermal piercing, (from where the implant was inserted) so may have some scarification done up seeing I scar well. Most likely to be going to Holierthanthou in Manchester as know one of the piercist there quite well.
I also got some niceeeee buffalo horn spirals for my ears for christmas.

Anyway I'll stop going offtopic from the tattoos.

That will be the septicaemia, which is preceeding the gangrene.

I've never seen scarification look good in the long term. Would be interested in the results.

I have seen plenty on IAM. Some of them having it more than 5 years ago. It looks nice its like skin colour but still raised.
I scarred really badly, and have been told tips how to make it raise and look good if I ever went forward for an design

Yeah, I've seen a few which aren't red anymore, but they've not been consistent. Would be interested to see.

Google it yourself :P

I'd have to plan ahead on this one though.. and save money ha

He did my arm,

lovely bloke, and great work

Ha, I'm not THAT interested. I think tattoos are beautiful so I spend a lot of time researching mine. I don't think scarification is beautiful so I don't care too much about it aesthetically, but I do enjoy slicing people up. It's more of a technical interest. :D

Nice clean lines.

I have ideas for my first tattoo and advice would be greatly appreciated. I am looking to get something along the lines of this on my ribs (this would be the image, not really the style, although saying that the style is pretty cool too):



In terms of the look I am really drawn to this style of illustration:



and



However, obviously it's quite fine, delicate lines, do you think this sort of thing will work for tattoos? Plus could it end up looking shit in time? If it is workable could anyone recommend someone who works in this style? Many thanks.

The other option would be to just go for an outline, sort of like this:

deers are cool I went for one myself on my joke tattoo thigh

Me n my mum are goin to the artist that did her ink to get some work done soon. XD I got a design done by him a few months back, but then he moved to Amsterdam. So... maybe a ride to the 'Dam and a tatt!

I wanna go to this guy to get a sleeve done, really into william morris and have been for years, an this guys acanthus leaves are exactly what I want.
He used to guest at Frith St but looks like I'm gonna have to make a few trips to Brooklyn if I want him to do it.

Dan in answer to your other question, I would say your best bet is to go work it out with your tattooist. No-one will have a better idea of what's workable than them. Take these pics and if they're good you can / should spend time sketching out exactly what you want after having an indepth chat with them.

As for whom, it's a good idea to find someone who specialises in line tattoos, and there have been some good suggestions above and throughout this thread, but do a lot of research, it's worth it!

And ribs... ouch.

Long shot but, anyone could recommend good laser removal place perhaps?

^ I've seen that before... I want to know what it looks like now!

Found this on Modblog.Bmezine hehe

I first saw this Taoist ideogram about 10 years ago, the left reaching foot of design signifying the spiritual path. This will be my 12th year on the yoga path.
really like this dot styling, sorry about huge pic though.
Make of it what you will.

@m.f. have you grown a beard?

shit is that what that is on my face, been wondering about that since november.

i am a half pirate :)

Work in progress, full sleeve by James Lovegrove (now at Into You). It's the eight auspicious symbols of buddhism in japanese style. Still have another 20+ hours of colour to go.
