Those are cool guys! Hey Pain? How many arms do you have? Tres Kali!

[Pain]

Top banana ZK!:)

I have just the two arms Book, and two long skinny legs:lol:

[OriAvP]

here´s mine
i love sharks, i love hockey (that thing in the mouth shark is a puck) and the three dots are the laser from Predator

[Nemesis]

Yeah zk101, you're the baddest muthaf*cka in SoCal now.

[zombiekilling101]

haha nemesis I dont know about that. but i wont disagree with you:) :lol:

hey oriavp email me the pic adn i'll post it for you.

man my manager punched/pushed me right in the spot last night. it was feeling fine until that.

[Pain]

If anyone even touchs my tats before they heal they will be in the literal world of Pain:evil:

You should have given him a slap ZK101

i was walking by.. than he struck and I did a 180 and he ran towards me "im sorry!"

damnit

[Pain]

Some people think that it is hysterical to bump into/hit/slap new tattoos for some reason. It's the same as hitting an open wound, they need time to heal.

Hopefully I will be booking up some more soon. I want to get my arms and legs finished before I move onto my front or back.

what do you have in mind?

[Pain]

what do you have in mind?

Not 100% sure yet, although on my left arm I think i will be getting a demon rising out of hell from my shoulder to just below my elbow.

I'm on the lookout for cool designs for my right arm

[toe_tag]

Mmm. What does it feel like getting a tatt?

[Pain]

Well it stings quite a bit, but after a few minutes you don't really notice it too much. Sure you can feel it and if i said it didnt hurt i'd be lying. Usually when i am being inked though i spend most of the time chatting, watching movies or listening to tunes, so it takes your mind off the pain a bit

[toe_tag]

I'm not bothered by pain... I just wanted a personal opinion. Is it pleasurable? :P

[Pain]

Well, i keep going back for more:)

[awfulman]

Are those all on different sides of your arms, or are you some kind of octa-human? :lol:

[Pain]

Like i said before, i have skinny legs which they shave (making them skinnier!) before tattooing.

The zombie and the girl are on my legs.

[Sambob]

Kudos on the slayer tat Pain. Was thinkin of gettin that myself how long did it take?

Thanks, that was my second tat. It took about an hour if i remember correctly. I have a matching Deicide one on the other arm

[Otis]

Ok, i finally got some pics of my tattoos. They didn't turn out that good cause I had to take them by myself:

cool man plan on getting more?

toe_tag: for me it was like a cat scratching you, the cut healing up and than being reopened really fast. Its not enough to make you want to stop but it does hurt.

heres some closeups of mine. Its got this oitment crap on it right now.

I'm almost ready to get my back done.Figure it'll take two or three trips...hm...might be stupid going that big on a first tat but hey. I just need to make a few finishing touches and find a place to do it that I'm confident they won't screw it up.

Any recomendations on what to look for when I start shopping around?

[Divided Soul]

Thanks. I'm getting a quarter sleeve of portraits someday, and ol' Bud will hopefully be a part of that.

[dominion]

I have a question. Is it possible to tatoo over scars or not?

[Pain]

I'm not sure whether the Ink would hold or not. Maybe Alli5on would know for sure, seeing as she tattoo's.

Oh I found this too

http://experts.about.com/q/Tattoos-3028/Tattoo-Scarring.htm

[ZombiexLove]

If you tattoo over scars, there will be a white discoloration underneath, but it's not bad. Same goes for moles, except brown

[zombiekilling101]

yeah I have/had a brown mole on my upper arm but the ink covers it up pretty well. you can still see it if you look.

[ZombiexLove]

Yea, my boyfriend has a pinup on his forearm, and the girls jeans have a little mole under them. It's awesome

[alli50n]

I have a question. Is it possible to tatoo over scars or not?


Tattooing over scars can be difficult but it is possible. It also depends on the type of scarring you have. Scars which are flush with the surface of the skin are the easiest to work with. Scars that are puffy or keloid can be problematic. Some people claim that having scar tissue tattooed is more painful.
Find a reputable artist (who does custom tattoos preferably) in your area and have them assess your scar and your design options. Be open minded about design possibilities, as they may be somewhat limited due to your scarring. Do not tattoo over scars that are still healing (pink or purplish).
Be prepared to have touchup work done a few times. Also be prepared for the expense of the touch up work. Most shops offer one free touch up and it's likely that you would need more than one. You can expect to pay 50% - 100% of the original price for your touchup work.

[XposedGuts]

everyones tats look great! by the way Todd, ur tat looks really good in those closeups.

I dont have any tats as of yet but i hope to within the year or next. I want a zombie on my kalf and a scorpion tail somewhere

No, my friend Matt had his 4 year anniversary of owning his shop, Red Sea. He's been tattooing for 11 years, and he decided to have 50s day (50s tattoos for 50s prices). My boyfriend and I got tattooed for $13.78 all together. It was fun. Here's a better picture of it. Right after it was done.

Awesome. Sweet deal. I drew this geisha for the tattoo flash set I'm working on. It'll eventually be colored when I get around to it. I'm thinking about not using it for flash and geting it tattooed on myself.

a little present for my 17th birthday, I don't have any pictures of my other tat, but It's calvin from calvin and hobbes sitting behind a box that says, "a swift kick in the butt $1.00." and the punchline (although not on there) is hobbes comes up and says, "how's business?" to which calvin says something to the affect of, "not good, but i don't know anyone who doesn't need what I'm selling."

I aint got any tattoos either, but wouldn't call it a waste. My female friend has a tattoo which gives me wood of the greatest latitude.

Im thinking a cross with the american flag shaded in it. My father wants an eagle so we'll see what happens. I want one on the inside of my left bicep. Im thinking my right arm which has my ash tattoo will be my hobby/interest side while my right arm will be family and pride side. good times.

Fantastic. Every time I hear about or see someone with a whole mess of tattoos, I think about a couple of my old patients. Frail little withered old men with what once upon a time were likely some badass looking tats. The last I saw of them, that tats just made them look even more pitiful and helpless.

I guess I just don't understand what the big draw is. Is it some form of addiction? I guess it'd have to be to tolerate the pain caused by having a vibrating needle shoved into your skin and have ink injected directly into the dermis, and then keep coming back for more.

its gratifying. the worst part is the healing process for me. not being able to itch it and being self consicous of them getting slapped or something. that and people thinking its cool to **** with em.

[Pain]

It is addictive actually. I also really don't care how i look when I get to the crusty wrinkly age. Let's face it old is old, and there is no buttering it up.

If they aren't for you then that is fine, and there are many folk out there that would no doubt agree with you, however I'm sure there are lifestyle choices you (and others) make that would baffle the hell out of me too. I just have slightly more tact.

[HOO-HAA]

Yeah, Chewy... why so 'black-and-white'? What's *not* for you may be for others. Why's that a problem? Isn't *difference* an essential part of society?

Personally, I don't see the point in golf, but I ain't gonna interrogate golfers about their choice of leisure-wear (oh, that brown tartan!)...

As for tats... I love the whole creative expression...er...ism about it all. I refer to my appointments with my tattoist as 'arm-doodling' which it kind of is... only a little more permanent! :lol:

When(*IF*) I'm old I'll not feel 'pitiful and helpless' because I have tats. Why would I? :doh: What a ridiculous thing to think! Instead, I'll look at them with pride and hark back to the days I got them - the reasoning in my head that led to particular choices etc. with the design, and I'll treasure them. I'll probably bore the young folks about them, who, no doubt, will have laser tattoos on their heads by then! :lol:

I hope, personally, to have a hell of a lot more tats before I hang up the ol' tub of savalon... Here's to tats! :drinking:

Horrible. :x

[chewy]

My apologies. I wasn't trying to say that people who get tattoos are stupid or that tattoos themselves are idiotic. I'm not trying to make value judgements here. I was merely curious as to the reason why people do it. Seeing as to how I don't have any, I don't really grasp the whole thing. I wasn't trying to piss anyone off, I was just trying to understand.

From the responses you folks have made, I gather that it's because you just like having them. I can understand that.

No worries, pal. And can I just say that it's pretty damn rare and welcome to see someone big enough and mature enough to throw an apology out. :clap:

Perhaps us tattooed folk are a little over-sensitive? :)

Anyway, I guess it does just come down to being a creative thing. For me, a part of it comes with being shorn-headed, I guess (that's posh for baldy, by the way). I can't change my hair every couple of months, so instead I look for other ways to express my vanity... and tattoos and piercings are one way of doing such....

... But that's not the only thing. For me, it's also about the tattoos themselves - what they mean, what I want to remind myself when I get up in the morning and take a shower. Weirdly, it's a little like Memento. There are certain lessons in life I like to have inked onto my skin, in surrealistically presented japanese symbols, inbetween all those stars and spirals.

Oh.. and the pain thing? It's really a bit over-blown, in my opinion. You'll ALL have experienced much worse at the dentist. It's just another sensation to me now, almost welcome at times - or at the very least, a satisfying part of the process.

[chewy]

Thank you, Spiral. I think that's the clearest explaination I've ever gotten for why some people choose to get tattooed.

OK after that I had to read Spirals post and I agree....

[Pain]

Made my appointment today for friday at 1.30pm. Looks like it will be a little larger than i originally thought:)

Personally speaking my ink does not have any particular significant meaning, they do however mean a lot to me. Each one does bring back specific memories. For me they add balance to who i am. I just wish i hadn't waited 10 years between my first and second tattoo.

That is exactally why I got my tattoos.:clap:
I got them to help remind me of how I want to live my life. I have the Chinese characters for Ying and Yang on my arms with a little custom fire around the edges. To me, they symbolize a balance. Something that I strive to have in my day to day life.

[B00Ne]

For me it's a hobby. I spend money to have my body decorated, and I fully understand why there's folks who just "don't get it", because in turn I'll never understand why someone would put 40k worth of auto parts into a car that's only worth 10k. And the reason I'll never understand is because it's just not my thing. Fair enough, if someone takes pleasure out of spending that dough on their Honda CRX, that's their right and I'm glad it makes them happy. Tattoos make me happy, especially when people see them and appreciate them. Yeah you get the people that shun you for them, but realistically speaking, do you really want to associate yourself with someone who feels so strongly against something you feel equally passionate for?

Anyway, getting my left leg started next Friday, I'll post some pics up when I get back.

So I have to push my leg appointment to November, because I can't make the 6 hour drive to Toronto this weekend :x

I looked through the thread and apparently I've never posted any of my others. Here's one of my half-sleeve, I'll put some of my others up later. I really REALLY want to get and old-school western six-shooter done at my waistband but my wife won't let me :roll:

Yeah, I want to be able to pull the bottom part of my shirt up and have it look like there's a pistol in my belt. I might even do two, one on either side, but I'm worried I'd get too cluttered since my left side of my ribs is inked already.

I also agree with you guys 100%. I have four tats and I remember getting each one, who was in my life at that time and the reason behind getting them. My tats aren't really worth showing off as they mean more than they are an artistic acheivement. Lol...does that sound like I got inked by a crappy inker or what? Seriously though....I love them and that's what matters.

1. Skeleton on fire that looks like it's crawling out of my skin. - Right thigh
2. Celtic knot - Back of neck
3. Blue Faerie - Left ankle, outside.
4. Polar bear totem - left forearm, inside.

Nice design! Is that your shoulder?

[Pain]

Thanks Nem, it's actually my chest:lol:

The lighting is crap in our kitchen, hence the Independence Day sized shadow effect on my armpit.

[Nemesis]

Ah, I see now. http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/images/smilies/laugh.gif
What was the inspiration for this particular piece?

[Pain]

A combination of Damien's markings in The Omen and a Deicide design.

[Nemesis]

Wow, did you design it yourself?

[Pain]

No, i gave the artist a copy of the picture i posted a couple of pages back and we went from there. I didn't really want any flames, just a nice crisp design, which is what i got and am very happy with:)

[Nemesis]

Impressive, you're an interesting man, Jude Felton. Very unique.

Nice piece Pain.

I was thinking about getting another tattoo. How was the pain on the chest? My last tats were on my arms and I didn't feel much.

[Pain]

Thanks. The pain wasn't too bad actually. It was a little uncomfortable in places, specifically the top, but nothing unbearable.

[HOO-HAA]

How about one of these?

http://www.bentonrea.com/~ingram/elder.jpg

Have it placed on the back of your neck at the C7-T1 junction. If nothing else, it'll save you from any of the Lovecraftian nasties.

[Pain]

An interesting thought Chewy, however I doubt I will be getting any more symbols for awhile.

The designs I am waiting for are for a Devil and an Angel that will probably go on either side of my body. These will be done in a twisted anime style.

After that I will probably add to the zombie on my leg with a moonlit graveyard scene. On the other leg I'll be having a futuristic Final Fantasy-esque landscape behind the young lady that presently occupies my leg:)

After that, my back which I haven't decided upon yet.

I just got my first tat. A sick Slayer tattoo!!

The outline was home poked with a percing needle literally slicing the ink into my skin. It was filled with an actual tattoo gun.

It's on the outside of my right leg.

It's on the outside of my right leg.

I like it! It's a little rough around the edges, mind. May need some touching up after it heals - preferably from a good tattooist.

I had one tattoo done in Liverpool, with my girlfriend. It was a kind of pop-art star thingie in red and black. Thing is, the tattooist was a hatchett man, meaning it hurt like **** and came out a little rough looking. It taught me not to just walk into any tattooist without checking. Hygiene should be your primary concern (and this guy was clean) but skill's important too.

The good thing is, W13, your tat would be easily touched up in minutes to look perfect. :)

Did you enjoy the experience?

[warior 13]

It's sorta supposed to look rough, it was a prison style tattoo, the outline was just cut into my skin with a pericing needle, but the fill was done professionally, decided to get it filled in later last night. It was origonally a prison tattoo outline of a Slayer album cover. And yes, I am going in to get it fixed up in 2 weeks when it heals up.

And it was a hell of a fun experience :)

[Divided Soul]

Nice!... congrats W13!

Nice, you put some different spins on it like the blood splatter on the floor idea photoshop has some really smooth washes

[Captain Colostomy]

Cheers! There are actualy two main brushes I use for the shading (if that's what you meant by washes), one to lighten and another to darken. It's a bitch to get smooth but easier than pencil (i think) and gives great results!

I prefer the 1st coloured in one. The blood dose look class but I prefer the other one.

well my arms not finished. But as for that piece im not sure. Theres a few gaps between that one and my flyboy tattoo.. so im sure I'll have to get something to make it mesh sooner or later.

I don't think so, although i'm fairly sure they use the word 'parlour' on occasion:lol:

I'm planning a trip to the studio soon to get my arms finished of. Reckon i'll do it in about 4 visits as I get bored after about 3 hours.

[Strychnine]

i got an idea in my head for my next tattoo, not the most exciting design (and a little cliche) but i am planning on getting some brass knuckles with the words 'STAND YOUR GROUND' written in a scroll underneith.

I just need to find a good artist to draw the design up for me as im pretty useless tbh :(

[klownhed]
