    Tattoo Thread - Show us your ink!

    Here is a place to post pics of your ink work,and any other body art, or recommend Tattoo artists to others. When recommending, please include reasons why.
    I've spent my money on bikes, booze and babes. The rest I've wasted....

    Got no photos of mine, I get to see them everyday though. Blue Lotus tattoo in Albany are very good, they have won heaps of show stuff, and my mate clint is one of the owners. Stay away from the Black Tide tattoo parlour in Gore, absolute crap artist.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    Lol sorry human body modifications. Scarification and the like.
    What's the point in living if you don't feel alive?

    Toying with ones mortality shouldn't be this much fun.

    Interesting. Branding/scarification has been on my to-do list for a while, but the only person I ever knew that did it in NZ was the guy from Flesh Wound (WLG) who moved away, and some friends in the UK. Got a link?

    Hamish has moved up north now. Warkworth. There are a couple in Auckland that do it but I would only trust him. I'll ask what shop he's working out of now. I'm meant to be getting my next cautery branding done from him soon. Just trying to work up the balls and find a branding partner to come with.

    What are you looking to get done? And where? When I get home I'll post pics of my back.

    @ unstuck- most men don't get enlarged when they see what gets done at times.

    Oh yeah that would be good. I'm interested in branding, and also possibly in minimalist style scarification over ink, but mainly keen to talk to whoever's doing it for thoughts.

    Cautery or strike? Personally I prefer cautery because of the detail you can have. And strike has a tendency to spread depending on your skin and healing type. What colour are you?

    Over ink would be interesting. Do you keloid? Or do you want to keloid?

    Mines engraved.

    Just waiting on Hamish to reply.

    Cautery, I think, but not set on it.
    Not really sure what the deal with keloids is but I wouldnt want masses of scar tissue like some people aim for. What do you mean by engraved?

    Some people keloid no matter what. I'm lucky I don't really. My tiger swipe on my shoulder did a little. But I think that's gone now.

    You guys are discussing some out there shit, I can't even watch Bondi Vet
    We know a guy, totally hairless, I think he has 36 piercings, you can see 12 or so when he is in shorts. Tattoo's cover a large area of his skin with red veins tattooed on his head/neck.
    People at the camp we go to used to call him lizard man, he is the nicest bloke and will go out of his way to help anyone... to be honest, I wondered why? before we got to know him.

    I have ink from all over the North Island and I am not sure that al the tattooists are still working - or in the same shops .. in fact I know that some are not.

    I do recommend Siren Tattoo in Whakatāne she is working on my back at present - the lightest hand I have ever felt - and a great artist ...

    I'll try to find a link on the interdweb

    This is the only photo I have of some shit I got done 2 years ago. The first person to say the word "nipple" is gay. Subsequent people that say it are also gay.

    Yeah definitely an odd tangent. Actually first thread I've really bothered posting in. Would be cool if you could flick me a PM if you get the details of those guys though.
