Without a word of a lie , i keep looking at it myself, its the detail, its as though the bugger is perched on your tit , money well worth spent, bang on is that, and a credit to the tattooist Edited October 9, 2022 by iworkwhippets 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Creative Tutch Body Art,,,Kislingbury, Northampton......Check it out, ... We built a house at Kislingbury about 1965 it was only a tiny village then and across the road from the Plot were two men in a Field gassing Rabbits using an ex army petrol air compressor , one man was on the tap that fed the Cymag powder into the Air line the other was in the middle of the Warren stamping everywhere the powder blew out no mask or gloves my mate said his roll up would keep him safe . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have thought about it before but i hate tattoo's with thick lines and that's all there was for years,plus the old school tattoo's of swallows,scrolls etc do look a bit shit to me so never fancied getting anything done. Now years ahead and the art,equipment and colours are all different it sort of come together for me and this tattoo is going into her portfolio and she sort of needed to do something like this and better on me than anyone else so here it is.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its certainly a different game to years ago a good pal of mine had a tattoo shop in Walthamstow since the late 80's but packed it all in a few years ago said he just couldnt compete with the quality about today.....didnt help that his eyes were going but he reckons its a young persons game now.....should all work out for your friend if that ones anything to go by anyway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You appear to have developed the coffee and biscuit collar bones the same as I have, I have a counterpart who requested the likes of garlic sausage, and nowadays clears the town high street with his ten to two feet and impending framework Incidentally, I recall a school dinner circa 1987 when he requested as much chicken curry, rice, chips, and chutney as would fill the tray, and got his way lemon meringue pie included Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fredric55 3 Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 I am not into tattoos myself but have seen some very nice ones, and "sleeve" tattoos can look really good. And i think tattoos have got better over the years. I don't have any but my wife has 4 tattoos. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
