OUCH!! :crazyeyes
what does it represent? are you female or male?
Green Bay Packers.
Female.
I may have to drive to Wisconsin to get it done though, I"d ask for it here and they'd intentionally mess it up
I'm not violet but I read this so heres my 2p anyways
I found this
The fact is, your hands and feet are the two parts of your body that come under the greatest amount of physical “abuse” as a result of normal everyday life. This makes maintaining the quality of a tattoo in these areas very difficult.
Most tattoo artists guarantee their work 100% and back up that guarantee with things such as free touch-ups. When they do a tattoo, their reputation is on the line the moment you walk out the door. Every person that sees your tattoo and finds out who did it will base an opinion of the artist by the quality of the work. If you mess up your tattoo, it’s the artist that’s going to get the blame.
Hand and foot tattoos are extremely difficult to maintain. Socks and shoes constantly rubbing against your feet can wear away even a healed tattoo. Getting to the healed point is even more difficult, requiring the sacrifice of going practically barefoot for 3 months if you really want it to heal properly. But remember, going barefoot or wearing sandals exposes your foot to the elements, including the sun, which can also destroy your new tattoo. If you really want to get that foot tattoo – and honestly, I don’t blame you! – you have got to be totally prepared to baby it like you have never babied your skin before. The same thing goes for hand tattoos – if you’re a mechanic, a dishwasher, or do anything else that is rough on your hands, don’t do it! You’ll only ruin the tattoo and be stuck with a mess in a very visible area.

I've got one on my arse, will take a picture later. Maybe.
Alright then...
wow, that is impressive!
I love that tattoo. It is similar to the one I want on my wrist. But I am too scared to get it done :nervous:
I like it lots
Wow, that is beautiful.
Becky I love your tat, what did you think of it pain-wise?
Thanks! Me too, I was scared to get it done, it took about 20 minutes or so to get it done. It was nippy in parts, but I am really chuffed with it.
I like it toooo..I got it done in Tribe4 Flip on Bath Street yesterday on my lunch break.
It was sore, and when it was sore, you knew the blood was coming through, ha. But I do recommend it, it's so lovely now.
The wee tattooist man said that he wants this because it's lovely but dangerous. Haha. And he commended me having it as everyone has stars on their wrist and this is different. Woot.
Wow!! That is a very awsome georgous tattoo. I'm speechless, its just so :yippe:
It is truely amazing.
Aww, shucks you guys
Thats so beautiful. Was the picture part of your avatar at some point? It looks familiar, the colours and pattern.
UV-glowing tats! Wow!
That UV one is awsome. Was it more expensive than normal ink?
I would like to ask the opinions of the creative bunnies on here. I have a Simba on my shoulder and a paw on the other one. Instead of getting more random ones I was thinking adding more along the lines of that. Making like a collage/big picture/thingymadingy, if anybody catches my drift? You know how you see somebody start with one tattoo then they go from there to make it grow, but its all related and intertwined...However I'm as creative as a dead brick, so if anybody has any ideas that I could run with, :thumb:
Thats one of the nicest/beautiful tattoos I've ever seen! It doesn't even look like a tattoo kinda looks like someones painted a picture on your shoulder!
Will the colours stay as bright like that or do you have to get it recoloured over the years?
ladyjane i want to see your tattoos now that one mod has got them out
Inks are much more highly developed these days so they won't fade and blur in the same way as tattoos used to. The colours will dull to an extent over the next decades but not noticeably enough that I'm likely to need to get it re-coloured. Still, it's all about the technique of the person who's put the ink in as well as the aftercare you give it. I always put sunscreen on it and if I'm out in the sun I'll make sure I'll use a super high factor (about 60).
Thanks for your lovely comments - tattoos are obviously really personal and I don't expect everyone to like it, but hey, it's my skin and it's always great to have it appreciated by people with such fine taste...
