tattoos lets see them!

Oh wow, whats going on with that piercing in your neck?
I have never seen anything like that before! How does it stay in?

It is called a sub-dermal anchor, I have 2 of them. First they start with a hollow needle, punch out a hole in your skin, with the same needle creat 2 pockets under the skin, grab the jewelry, and push the base into the pockets. I'm suck and explaining the process but here is a GREAT video showing the process. I plan on myself getting both my cheeks done like the girl in the video. I have dimples, why not?

I love this I like all the Dia de Los Muertos stuff people are doing now.

I posted this in another thread when I got it on New Year's Eve, but figured I should put it where it belongs:



And this is my first one, from several years ago:



I plan on getting the spiderweb redone so that there is a camera lens behind the girl instead. It would make more sense for me, seeing as I'm a photographer who's shot a whole ton of pretty girls over the years

There is some awesome ink here...thats for sure. Makes me want more....LOL




My grandma was a Buddhist and when she passed away I got this. Its healed now, and looks ten times better, I just havent gotten a picture of JUST the tattoo since its been done.


Ugh....Mayonnaise.....disgusting.

Ugh....Mayonnaise.....disgusting.

I heard that you have to get the inner lip re-done.. Is that true? Not that I think I could ever in a million years sit there for that, lol, but just curious.

[Patrick Long]

Yeah the lip fades.

Ive only had it hit once and its still pretty sharp. My brothers on the other had completely vanished on the first session and had to have it redone.

They say 5-10 years and it will be completely gone....given that depends on how acidic your saliva is, if you chew on your lip a lot.

[BroknBusted]

The lip is pretty hard core! I'm not that brave.

Here are SOME of mine.

The back piece is not finished yet. About 14 hours into it The girl who did it did my neck as well. I told her I wanted a gargoyle and she did that free hand with no pic to go off of. HOWEVER, a week after finishing this much, she met eleoped with some dude she knew for 2 weeks and moved to another state. I haven't found anyone I trust enough to do the greywash to finish it yet:


I drew this up and a friend did the tat on my forearm:


Biomechanical wasp:


My tribute to my awesome wife on my calf:


Part of my sleeve. More has been done to it I just don't have pics. This part shows a hand with a Thor hammer nailing a nail into a demons hand. There are flames below it and celtic knots above it. On the other side are 3 skulls with the "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil tag":

I don't think I ever posted in this thread, so I'll add my pics

On my hip


(If you see the 'mess ups' in it, this is when I found out I was super allergic to tattoo goo or whatever the heck the lotion is called, it scabbed and I bled black ink )


On my shoulder-I re-drew this one, so the bad symmetry is my fault, but I like it



@Patrick, your tattoo makes me sad. I LOVE mayo!

I'm getting the itch for a new tat....It's been 5 years since my last one!

[xFenrir]

I don't have any done 'cause I am lacking the funds, and I was bent on designing it myself. But when my tax refund comes in I'm getting this!



It took me two days to finish it, but I love it. I'm probably gonna put it on a shoulderblade.

Thank you! I'm trying to finish up my Dia de Los Muertos theme sleeve soon.
I love the camera idea and yes it would make a lot more sense. Gotta' love the hot chicks! Lol!

Love the Budhha and love the lip tattoo... I have been wanting to get my lip done but just haven't found what I want on it. Lol!

That blows! I'd hate for someone to ditch me in the middle of work being done.

Awesome idea, make sure and post some pictures if and when you do get it.

This is my only tat. I have had it for just eleven years. It is a pretty faded.
