I've noticed we've got a few tattoo collectors on this list. Just thinking who else has a nice tat collection. Mine is pretty small 13 pieces. Just thought it be interesting to see what kind of work and stuff other snuff fiends have going on too.
I have one, had it before it became a fad with females. I've had it for 23 years went to Tampa to a tattoo shop where soldiers from MacDill AfB. Tattoo shops were not as nice as they are now. But one day I would like to have new work done on top of it. On Black skin the ink fades I never went to have it re-inked. It's a Rose with illegal looking leaves, that was not my intention. I just wanted a rose. I forget it even there until someone tries to touch it.
actualy certain colors stay really well in black skin. Often it's the colors you'd think wouldn't show up very well. I can't remember which colors they are but I know red is not one of them. It actualy has a lot to do with the pores in the skin more then the pigment.
My younger daughter recently had one done of the Death of Rats (aka the Grim Squeaker) from the Terry Pratchett Discworld books. While personally I'm not really into tatoos, that one looks most impressive. And she uses snuff occasionally :)
The only tat I have is where my older brother stabbed me in the thigh with a pen when I was a kid and it left a permanent blue dot. But my old girlfriend that I'm still friends with was on the cover of Tattoo Magazine a few years back.
i actually got into tattooing a few years back. not so much anymore bcause it turned out to be not so fun as i thought it would be. the problem with dark skin is that it's dark on the surface and ink is below the surface so ink has to be darker than the skin to show up through it.
i have six of them, all but two i did myself. my stomach has three huge birds flying around it and it remains unfinished because tattooing your own stomach is an incredibally difficult task...
They are addictive for some reason. I started years ago and have slowly built up, I usually get one on vacation and my intention is to cover my arms because I like to have the artwork on show. I think tat's ink is real cool and what I am steadily acheiving
Boobah - you must have some real skill and balls of steel!!
I don't have any photos of my personal Tattoos.... I am a tattoo artist and live in Mississippi, if anyone wants to see a few of my work here is my website. RPTATTOOMACHINES.COM
I've heard of the people who get their tongues split to look reptilian & I've seen the cat guy before on a documentary a few years back - saw them pushing those metal whiskers through his face...what is the matter with these people?
