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!

Lusting after 2 wheels over 4 anyday
Most don't take as long as you have to decide on such a big decsion. Hope you don't reget it.
Good luck.



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.
zeocon.You're doing the right thing researching your tattoo artist.I didn't and got my arm butchered.It cost me twice the original price to fix it....and now I have trust issues.
Keep the guns oiled and the temple clean
Shit,snort and blaspheme
