Hey Woody!
skin rip designs look good especialy where their so detailed like the first pic you showed, but in 5-8 years it'll be more of a blueish, black mush, tattoo ink bleeds over the years so the more detailed and busy design the more it will all merge in time, maybe longer than 8 years if you go to a well established artist that knows his/her stuff.
Andlid nice back tats dude & Carla's rib tat is lovely, got both my sides done and it hurts like a
some of you have really nice ones some of you are taking the mickey mouse i hope?
well i have quite a few, mostly hidden and i aint getting the pics of them out on here!! cant be bothered uploading them to photo bucket right now, if i have spare time this weekend then i will if not their on my FB page, (Nic Vicious Southside go find me if you want)
all i can say is dont get one off of the studio wall unless the artist is going to change it to suit you and think long and hard what you want to get done, cause if you aint got the dosh to get it removed in a few years it's going to the grave with you!!!
their worth the pain and the money but from a female's opinion, it gets unwanted attention from some folk/cultures who think it's allright to get angry at a me having them on my skin or worse chat me up for having them, i got all mine for myself, 90% of them hidden if i choose them to be.
must be @ last count number 23, guy says " hey! if you wanted sweetheart i would have drawn it on you with my biro for free"
reply??? "blow me!"
i plan to get more once i find a bank to rob, cause i love tattoos and anyone that has them rocks!! \m/ \m/ (thats my txt for rock hands)
p.s dear Stuart, get your pwn pic's up dude i didn't set up a photbucket account for you not to use it!!!!
