i was just browsing the web and came across it on some site.i thought it was different,i'd not seen anyone with this and the tattoo man said it was a first for him too.i took it to the tattooist last week,he had it enlarged and that was it,ding dang doo, jobs a good un !
still a bit sore this morning but its wearing off, a bit like sun burn.

Looks good is it just going to be outline as it is or you getting it shaded in?

in my opinion tatoos are pointless and a waste of money

depends if you lose, what can you possibly get from a tattoo? They fade over time and look awful when your older.

Everyone's entitled to an opinoin Bigv038,personally i think they're good. Like said earlier,when your older and they fade they do look a bit toss but i'll regret that when im older.I suppose there's alway's the option of having it recoloured.
The totem pole i had done was 60 note's.

60 notes !! thats bloody cheap for that size itsme
tatoo's when your older only get in the way if you've got them
somewhere really visable, thats why mine are on the upper arms and back.........helps with interviews too when they dont see them on your lower arm/neck etc and your going for a "suit and tie" job.

Getting jobs with visible tattoos is less of a problem today than a long time ago, i think the stereotype that if you have a visible tattoo you are a criminal has kinda gone by the wayside.
I guess they do hold value compared to other purchases.
I mean lets put it this way, even if you lost everthing:your house, car, equiptment, job etc, you'll still have that tattoo you put money on, that ain't going anywhere even if everything else has gone, you know, you can't lose your tattoo.....well you could lose a limb i suppose that had a tattoo on it but i don't think you'll be worried about the tattoo, i mean if you had your penis tattooed and someone shot you in the penis you're hardly likely to go "oh fuck you ruined my tattoo!".
So yeah i think they have some value in that they last a long time, thats the idea otherwise you'd just get a transfer or draw them on with a biro.

haa haa, lol at merlin....................... you shot me in the dick fool.
yeah 60 was cheap but then i'll have to fork out for the shading in.that will be abit more i would think.
