i suppose i could have called this "i'll show you mine if you show me yours" but Tattoos will do :mfr_lol:
So who's got them .....who likes them ......and who hates them , There very much a personal thing i think , what one likes another wont etc .
I just recently got my first ink job , its of a design i liked for many years and it took me a long time to get the bottle to even go into the shop. im sure some of you on here will reconise where it came from so will leave that for you to say.
I have a few and as you said they have to mean something to you.
Like the tiger you got, not seen that before ...... what does the writing say ?

Yep it sure is good ol Jethro Tull's "Broadsword and the beast", not sure yet but may still get the Saxon runes going around it.
So come on then Rog , get them tats posted :smiley:
I have........none, not really in favour of them but i respect others to there own opinion, some i can see are work of arts and take some serious time and money to get done but still i am not convinced. Its not a pain thing just never fancied one.
Just my 2p worth.

The writing under the tiger is my grandaughters name the tiger is her chinese birth sign

I have a a few on my back.. They all mean something special.
At the top is 'Pas Sans Toi' which is french for 'Never Without You' which is also one of Lara Fabians Songs.
Then the portrait of Lara. Underneath is Je t'aime Lara / I love you Lara.
Then I met her on stage in Paris and she signed my back. When I got home I had it tattooed over.
Below that I have my daughters names and D.O.B. :banana:
Nice work there Slane, recognised that as soon as I saw it, and that's the best advertisement for any tattoo artist, just hate it when you have to ask "what is it?".... :smiley:
Like your images there Debs, lot of work went into that, and not cheap work either... unfortunately I hadn't a feckin clue who Laura Fabians was... but have just looked her up and found out she's a singer.... God I must be gettin old.
Now you've had me get my phone to capture my little piece of art... not a great picture, using the mirror but there you go.

alibx11 .... ahhh Asterix and obelix ,dont ya just love them crazy Gauls :mfr_lol:
have to agree phones dont show the design very well that pic of mine does not do it justice, was taken about 1min after he finished so it still a bit on raw side.
Ah Slane....don't you just love that burning feeling the first night and the crusty tightness next morning when it starts to scab over... :cheesy:
and yes I'm talking about TATTOOS..... for the uninitiated....

As you say Mr Slane "Very much a personal thing" .. not for me but I have seen some that are clearly masterpieces of artwork and others that are simply not !
