  • And when you say green, do you mean people want green? Or do you mean back has turned green after a while?

  • Yes I mean where its supposed to be black. The cheap horrendous tattoos that chavs get of smurfs and their pet dog seem to be green from the outset, but most of the "proper" tattoos I see seem to be greenish.

    I have a lot of ideas! Inner/front bicep, rib piece, both front thighs, and a calf. But I'm terrified to get anything done in case it ends up looking shit.

    I'm thinking of getting a small test piece done like a name to see how it behaves on my skin. But that would mean waiting a couple years! I want to get one if my larger ideas done asap.

  • Much like getting the first scratch on your new bike, once you have one it's easier to get more.

  • Go to a good artists, what you pay for is what you get. I think we spoke about it here a while ago the 'going rate' in London for any artist worth their salt is about £100 - £120 per hour . I am paying £170 / hour for my next one... so dont expect to pay £30/hour and get good result...

  • I see little point in testing a small piece on your skin for the sake of testing. The skin on your leg is going to react differently to the skin of you tummy, for example. It has something to do with the fat content (you can be the slimest person in the world) under your skin and also other stuff. And like I said, how you look after it will play a big part too... Anyhow, good luck with whatever you decide.
