my first tat was half of my arm ..it took 5 hours to do and there is discomfort around the bones and soft tissue areas but it is well worth it...going again for more real soon...as you can see in my pic ...it is a full half sleve have not been back for touch ups yet.....
I have...oh, wait, no, I don't have any;

and it didn't tickle or hurt!

I've thought about getting a few, but the thought of having to get it redone every few years when it starts to fade to that ugly green, just makes me want to hurl.

Now, piercings, that's a different story. Oh, wait, I'm sorry. I don't have any of those either. But I've thought about it...

what touch ups the stone age oftattooing is over brother, just like anything else if you take care of them like not letting them get too much sun, there's no need for touch ups
Yeah, and maybe you picked up on my bit of envy and grief; my employer doesn't condone any of these actions.

It's a bit more than "don't ask, don't tell." God forbid if I did something and it got infected or something.
But, it's nice to know that technology is helping tats too (get it?!

)
and the touch ups i am talking about is that after 2and a half 3 hours your skin will start to reject the ink...thats why they do it in sessions ... i didn't i sat in the chair for 5 hours with 4 smoke breaks.....and he could on use a three for detail..so it took awhile.....and i have several whole in different spots...lol and everyone is guaged....i will take some close up pics of my sleve so you all can see the detail...ask PBurke he saw it not long after i had it done...it is my childrens names....
yessir i have seen it several times. it is some sweet work.
That reminds me of the guy who had piercings and wanted to show them to me!
(A prince what?!)
Ahhhh, no thanks.
it is on his forearm datBOY.
When I went for my first tat I was already for intense pain, however it never happened and then I was hooked. Some places hurt more than others, and I guess I have a pretty high tolerance for the pain, can't wait to get some more. Just these high gas prices keep dipping into my extra cash!
