dude, spend some money. a discount tat is just that. A CHEAP TAT. drives me crazy when people choose an artist by what he/she is gonna charge instead of by his/her ability. tv's=discounts  drinks=happy hour prices   tattoos=find the best artist you can and pay up. helps if you can form a friendship with them too. ok i am finished ranting for now.

Not really a rant, PBurke, just good solid advice. Remember, tattoos are no more permanent than you are, but they can last up to 80 years   ;). Make the investment.

Tatfanatic, nice ink bud. Suits you very well, where did you get bulk of your work done?

I am getting my first tattoo in a week from today. 2 actually. Both going to be a cursive script ,one saying my son in Spanish and the the other a dedication to my wife along my collarbone. Will post pics when done.

J_B,if you like tribal I say go for it. It may be a popular design but so what? Get something that is important to you and means something.

Thanks, Jdog. Of my two tattoos, the smaller tattoo on my neck was done by Paul Wren at Th-inker Tattoo in Melbourne, Florida. He also did the other, much larger one.   ;)

Two tattoos?  Looks like you've got a lot more than that! ???

that is sweet T. but what does it say?

It says KAMAILE - part of her Hawaiian name "Heleimakamaekamailekapilipoli"

I bet her name drives the nurses nuts when they page her at the doc's office

The one on my neck took six hours, the other one, from wrists to ankles, took 6 years. Still... just the two tattoos and finally finished... unless I decide to sell my architectural firm and join the circus. No scalp ink though.. it's a waste of a perfectly good noggin.

OK - so  you're considering your arms and legs to be one continuous tattoo.

Very nice to hear about keepin' the bald noggin, perfectly prestine...it WOULD be a waste!

Tatfan...you really do make the whole full tat thing look very appealing, just like the bald head...that TAT'S ARE you bro! Again and I said it before, very nice! O0 O0 O0

Cool bro!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
