Who us? we're innocent :lol:

how about the words "always tanked"

tatoo
 

i figure after about reading laurie's posts ,i figure she should get one of each fish in the ocean,and if there's room,coral as well

You sure you want to go there Laurie... you might end up with a body full of ink... you know... "Just one more..." :twised:

ooh I'd love a half sleeve of a reef with fish!! I already have a half sleeve though and am not getting another one, too diesel for me. Maybe body side or leg though would be good!!

A great spot for a flag tattoo is shoulder blade.

For the ladies, always keep in mind what the tattoo will look like with a dress on... So consider coloring and placement of your tattoo. (my half sleeve is flowers so its good with a dress)

And, Lucky Strike in Edmonton is a fantastic place for tattoos. They do more art pieces than pick something from the wall and tattoo it on, but you'll be sure to get great work done there on whatever you choose to do. All the folks there have portfolio's for you to browse through as well so you can be sure they do a good job. I looked around for quite a while before I decided where I wanted to go... its rather permanent!

Because my tattoo is on the larger side for a girl, a lot of people ask me if I regret it. And the answer is no way! I don't take life THAT seriously, its only skin! Oh, and a lot of people ask me this: what about when you are 70 and have a half sleeve? I personally think I'll have more things to worry about then, or less perhaps, but I am pretty sure I still won't care, plus I'll be a badass old lady. haha

Anyways, think about it well! I think tattoo's are great and I love them, but not something to rush into immediately. It will be a great memory for you always, a piece of art, and a tribute to whatever you choose or not. Some people get tattoos of pizza cause they like pizza. :lol:

I believe the pain of having one done will be enough to not get "one more"

Trinac Thanks for the advice, and location suggestion :biggrin:

A friend of mine's tattoo artist offered to give him a free tattoo if he let him tattoo a supposatron on him. A robot inserting a suppository into his backside. I can see if he will extend the deal to you? :lol:

Ummmm....that's ok I think I'll pass :lol:

So two years ago the idea of getting a tattoo has suck with me. More specifically the idea below I've been wanting.

So two months ago I was at a friends wedding and her sister-in-law had an amazing tattoo on her leg

I asked her who did it and where was it done, and found out Jo ann Atwood from Urge II Tattoo did it. Went to her website and liked her work so I checked out the shop and met with her (2 months ago) and my appointment is tomorrow!!!!!OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the drawing she did, I asked her to change the bottom of the leaf stripe so that it has a bottom to it.

I also want her to change the back (front side) fin so it is smaller (more proportionate to the smaller front fin in front) and erase the line over the back bottom fin by the tail. I haven't had a chance to tell her about the last 2 changes I want to make (I've been sick and I lost my voice and was busy) but hopefully if I go in a bit early it won't be to hard to make the changes before we start, they seem like easy fixes.
