    Just remember to breath through the discomfort when you're getting tattoo'd. Young fella was getting a tattoo while I was getting mine - he held his breath (bad idea - he nearly passed out). They won't tattoo you if you're not coping or breathing!

    I was letting you win, to boost your ego extra-high, so I could crush it all the more convincingly when Wii Tennis rolled around.

    Most was procrastination, I'm pretty confident when I'm older I'll regret it, but I'll remember at the time I got it, I was happy and content. A memory like that is enough to warrant tattooes for me. I think I read too much into things :P

    Zeocen. My 'inking' started at the grand age of 35.....I am happy with how its turned out but glad I waited.
    If your getting a half sleeve get them to draw it for you. Gives you enough chance to change the design and be sure you are happy.
    The pain is real and not to be underestimated on a major tatt such as a sleeve. Drug/alcohol consumption preceding your appointment is a really bad idea [trust me on this]. Take some water with you and avoid lots of exercise for a few days before.
    And sorry bud I do not have a picture but will endeavour to organise one for you within the next few days.

    Rene at Stained Skin in Newmarket is pretty good.

    I've heard Rose (I think that's her name?) at Illicit has a bit of a rep for being brutal...but she's good.

    Ahem. I would red rep you for that, only I'm a gentleman!

    As promised. Photo courtesy Amy.

    Right arm. Original sun with ying/yang from surfers crica 1999, added to and recoloured with traditional Japanese style snake featuring 'diablo' tyre tread on the scales.

    Left arm. Original Maori/Celtic circle that I hated almost immediately [circa 2002]. Being completely covered with traditional Japanese Dragon. Original tatt will become a giant pearl. To be finished next Thursday.

    Pain score=7/10
    Wallet score=several sets of Continental race attacks
