There's this guy at work who has a tattoo for his father who passed away and he showed it to me and started talking to me about his dad and i was just thinking "That's cool and all but i didn't fucking ask you."

So yeah it can get annoying but not everyone's like that and i know people who do that just with random tattoos too.

I work in a church school as a special needs teaching assistant so have to cover Mine up .Its just something I do ,I dont however feel I have to justify them .How is having your childrens names any different to having a massive fOok off dragon if in some way it has had the significance for you to part with a substantial amount of your dosh?

nice tats Anthropophagus and Dara.

must have cost a few bucks

I had my Reaper as a tribute to my love of horror,is you want to call it a tribute.But what the heck,it is my homage to the one industry i have loved all my life.
On my other arm i had a very old panther and snake tat,but it looked its age so i added two skulls on either side,i also had them re-done as i didnt like the way they originally turned out.
Higher up my arm i have a few small bats then i have my two girls names written in a red blood spooky style.
You could say i have one skull for each girl but that was just pure coincidence.

I need more but money is tight and so will have to wait till funds become more readily available.

I would like to have the original Universal monsters on my back,but that wont be cheap.And as you can see from my avatar i love Phantasm,and would love to have the sphere some where on my person.Maybe on my chest over my heart.Maybe.

I want Dark Phoenix from the x men on my lower leg but I have a Lenore tat there so I may just find a space elsewhere and do my full leg in Lenore style tats
I also have these monitors on my back as I love lizards,I own a beardy a leopard gecko amongst others

Man I love sleeves - Think they're so hot and want more ink on my arm... did you get the sleeve done all at once? Or little by little... Part of me is regretting the quarter sleep just because I'm trying to figure out the best way to extend it with other images/patterns, you know? I don't want a whole lot of white space but I definitely want different images (different than my blue roses).

Love the Japanese style - I love water and coy/carps... Definitely something I've considered quite a few times.

I did it bit by bit.It used to be frustrating sometimes when I couldnt afford a sesh but thats the only way I could manage.

Fair enough I would love her psychic powers myself :)

That's where I am right now - I really want to "finish" my quarter sleeve so that it wraps all the way around (I'm thinking adding an anchor and old school pin up on my bicep), but I know it'll be $$$ and I'm trying to save up for my wedding (but at the same time I want more ink for the wedding pics, you know?).
