Matt _Aero top_ Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I want a full sleeve on both arms and my legs done from the knee down. But I always think about what it will look like when I'm 60+. You migt not be here when your 60 , live for the moment my friend and enjoy it .

tbourner Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 I've thought about this 'old wrinkly' problem, but I know of several older folks with tattoos (grandparents in law mostly), most of them are navy type tats of womens names etc., and it doesn't look odd at all, I don't think they regret any of them, I never see them and think "eew wrinkly old tattoo", so what's the problem!

Stonkin Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 By the time you are old you will have more wrinkles to worry about than wrinkly ink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 why would you care about what it looks like when your 60? just means you will have had many years of enjoyment out of them. plus a great memory of when you had them done. Because Im sure when my skin gives up the ghost it will be a mass of black ink with no way of seeing what it is. But Im liking what your saying and will book my next appointment this friday when I go infor my latest tattoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 cool beans - where u going for it?? i go to Red Dragon in Horsham for all mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I haven't got any tattoos, but I've got two ideas, and they both involve the UV ink, as I think it'll look amazing. Good luck with getting yours done Trev, as once you've had one done, you know for sure if you get the 'bug', and I don't mean any of the nasty ones like Mr Wilson is trying to scare you with!

AndrewOW Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I am considering having this done but I am not 100% sure yet. it would be my first (and probably last) tattoo. You could so easily turn that one into the Decepticon's logo, but I don't know if you should really. Really, you shouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 cool beans - where u going for it?? i go to Red Dragon in Horsham for all mine I've been recommended to go to Ravenskin in Selsey, friend had 2 of hers done there and said he's really good. //edit: I know you were asking Ricky, but Horsham's within tattooing distance so thought I'd reply.

Jamesy Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 yeah mate if horsham is within range i would seriosuly consider going to red dragon. even if its just for a look and a chat to the owner, Karl - he has done all mine and all came out as i wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 A place in Worthing mate Southcoast tattoos I think. My brother in law is covered in them and won't go anywhere else, his brother and dad go there aswell. I used to go a place in Preston when I lived there and they were very good but it's 5hours away.

CJ Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 You could so easily turn that one into the Decepticon's logo, but I don't know if you should really. Really, you shouldn't. I think I will give the Decepticon idea a miss - but this chap thought it was a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drift_bear Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 thought i would resurrect this thread got more work on my sleeve done today, a nice 6 hour session, so now it looks like this due back the end of july for 1 more 6 hour session then its finally complete lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 the pain does feel like that and also about how addictive thy are lol, i always said i would have 1, ive now got 6 and want more lol I have always wanted one...I was planning on having my name on the underside of my right forearm in old style writing if you know what I mean... I worry about the pain and that's why i haven't had it ever done lol. My dad has got 5 of them and my ex girlfirend now has 6!! When I was with her, she had one and she says that they're addictive I want a full sleeve on both arms and my legs done from the knee down. But I always think about what it will look like when I'm 60+. Exactly...old and wrinkly and you'll have to pull back the skin to show someone what it is that you've got on your arm...or where ever it may be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 different people have different pain thresh-holds. its all in the mind though tbh. there are a few places that do hurt though i.e elbow, ribs, knee, neck, collar bone, shoulder blade (prety much anywhere it goes over bone lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 First part of my zombie sleeve. The fellas a cover up and the colouring in is not getting done till its finished. They are starting off small at the top of my arm and getting bigger/closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Considering a tattoo myself guys (top of my right arm) but there's only one thing that concerns me. It's not so much my pain threshold, but the fact that my body always seems to take forever to heal itself! A fairly minor scrape or cut can take months to heal properly and I scar pretty easily too. Is it pointless worrying about this and just going for it or should I just not bother? Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted September 4, 2011 Author Share Posted September 4, 2011 As long as you go to a good tattooist it will be fine. Mine took longer to heal than they said it would but now looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much what I figured. I'm sure there'll be a couple of places that can be recommended in the area so it's more just a case of deciding what I want! Decisions, decisions...
