Title: My first tattoo!
Post by: Compo on Thursday, July 5, 2007, 05:34:54
Had my first tattoo done yesterday, so i thought i would share the (painfull) experience!!
Had it done in Cheltenham at Mantra tattoo's!

Stencil done with freehand water!

Outline done (that f**king hurt).

Most of the colour done, coming along quite nicely (and painfully).

After 6 hours finally done!

Yes it does hurt, but its worth it!
Big thanks to Paul at Mantra Tattoos.  :D

I see you went for something small and descreet to start with then...

That's the problem with fish:
>--< I want it  that big
>----< I want it  that big
>------< I want it  that big

And by the time you get to the tattoo shop:
>----------< I want it  that big

incase you hadn't noticed, or didnt bother reading the replies to this thread, i think you should know you appear to have a big picture of a fish permanently emblazoned on your upper arm.

That's a carp tattoo.

Still, if you're going to have one done, there's no point in being koi about it.

Dont see the points in tatoos myself.  When your 70 years old, you will have a big fat tatoo on your rinkly skin.  Thats unless you  remove the tatoo by that age

If i ever had a tatoo, it would be a small one which i could conceal with clothing

Well ive seen some fit girls who have tatoos just above their bum, and when they wear short skimpy clothes or beach wear clothes, the tatoo usually suits them.  Luckily when they are older, they can wear clothes to conceal their tatoo.

However when Compo is 70, and its a hot boiling day, he will want to wear a short sleeved shirt and will (to me anyway) look a bit weird with a huge tatoo on his arm/

Horses for courses though really

Try sellotaping a real pair on for a few days to see how it looks and how people react to it.  I magine Compo did much the same, walking around with a big fish stuck on his arm, although I wouldn't recommend doing that for more than a few hours to avoid being chucked out of places.

Self halm is plain wrong.

Ah...ermm.. I dunno.
Draw a fuckin picture, something that can be handed down. Stop butchering yourselves...

Leathered skin and rusty metal dont do it for me!!

I would never get a tattoo, I personally thing most I have seen are quite tacky. However each to their own and if you feel comfortable with a giant fish on your arm then good on you.
