Title: Tattoes
Post by: walrus on Tuesday, July 4, 2006, 22:35:05
Tattoes?  Anyone have one?  "Do they hurt?"  Fuck off I refuse to ask that question, I'm not a poof, course they sodding don't.  Anyone have any idea of cost and healing process?  Does it look manky after?  Will it affect any potential dirty weekends coming up?  Will it stop me swimming?  How long for?

Anyone got any suggestions?  Thinking of something deep in Japanese on my left shoulder.  Maybe tied in to a song title....  Like High (Lighthouse Family song which has a lot of significance!).

ok.

they don't hurt but it's a strange strange feeling, but that's depending on where you get it.

dirty weekends? i wouldn't suggest getting loads of your boyfriends cum on it

swimming? yes, you're not supposed to submerge them for a while (two weeks i think). that also applies to baths.

suggestions? nothing you've seen on anyone before, because that's just copying and to be honest what's the fucking point of that?

Walrus, I'll do you a deal. I'll give you tattoo advice if you can sort me discount in Next at Gatwick Airport Friday night.

(I only want a couple of pairs of shorts)

Jesus Walrus not a Japanese character of all things.  Unless you're in China/Japan then don't bloody touch or you'll end up with babble strewn across your arm.

Plus unless your shagging a foreign bird who the hell is ever going to know what it means?

Best off going with a Steve O ‘Your Name’ on your arse.  Will never fail.

It means you've been in borstal.  Don't really understand why anyone would want to advertise that, but there you go....


I agree, all tattoos are shit.

I like and appreciate a good, well thought out piece. I'd like a few one day, but i would need to plan them meticulously.

I have got 3 , I deeply regret having them now. Take my advice ,dont bother with them . If you choose to go ahead then here are some top tips.

1) For the first 3-4 days keep them covered with Savlon
2) For the following 7-10 days smear them with Vaseline ( not the one with sand in !)

3)Keep it dry !
4)Dont,Dont ever be tempted to pick it.

Nice ! How long did it take magic ?


Title: Tattoes
Post by: magicroundabout on Wednesday, July 5, 2006, 08:33:31
in total it took 3 hours over 3 seperate sittings.

every 2 weeks i was going back to have more coloured in.

the photo was taken when it had just been completed hence the blood etc everywhere.

They itch like hell when they are healing and if you pick them or scratch it will ruin it.

I can speak Japanese (one of many useless talents) and love the look of kanji, so thought it'd be cool to have one on my shoulder!  Though I'm still a bit undecided....  if only the STFC logo was cool.   :?

Sussex - I'm not at work on Friday night I have a life you know!!  Where are you off to you lucky bugger?

Liking that Magic, that looks ace, but expensive....   :|

In the US it can mean you're a murderer, or have had someone close to you killed(esp. in prison).  In this country I think it's always just signified a long period spent in borstal or prison.


I tried to persuade my ex to have a Swindon tattoo done, either SWINDONTILLIDIE down her forearm, or STID on her forehead.  I think I had her convinced until Bournemouth scored their third of the afternoon, at which point she said she didn't want a tattoo thank you very much.  Women eh.
