Mel, mine was done buy a really nice chap in torquay called Dave (see my pic above my name) he's awsome and is reasonable on price. he owns Revolver Tottoo rooms. i have a few tats and he has by far been the best. alot of my friends and colleagues have also been to him!

All I would say is dont skimp on the money a cheap tat will always be shit.

I will only use Scribe in Bournmouth from now on. Just so happens I will be heading down there on Friday for some more work.

As for tats looking dated in the years to come. If you want it you have it.

All the work I have is for me and if nobody else likes it so fooking what.

One last word. PLEASE DONT GO TO A TATOOIST COS THEY ARE CHEAP. You will regret it.

im more than happy to pay for a decent clean tattooist, the ones ive had are from crewekerne and wincanton which are
both excellent and very clean,

thanks for all the advice everyones given me been bug help cheers guys x

Nothing beats doing it yourself with a knife and a fountain pen, just like in prison.

hehe...um...i did my first "tattoo" with a safety pin and some indian ink;a cannabis leaf as it goes.
i can now gladly say its been (professionally) covered over and my smoking days are long gone.

lol,nice

Go and see Daryl at Cornucopia Tattoo in Taunton, they are just along from the station and everyone in the shop is a biker and Daryl does some nice work and tell em that big AndyT sent you. You'll see bike pictures on the wall and Daryl is the area rep for the VJMC too so he knows a bit about bikes too.

excellent im off there for me bday soon so will bob in,cheers 4 that

if you're sure you want to go through with it, tell Kawasaki, see if you can get some money or free gear off them. Its good marketing/advertising for them

On the subject, do tattoos hurt? Or does it depend on where they are done, hear so many different things.
I really want one but want something that means something to me.

the one on my arm wasnt too bad my bros and sisters had similar ones as a family link and they coped fine,it does hurt no matter what anyone says.
but ive got quite a high pain threshold so i kinda grit me teeth and bear it,the lower back one wasnt too bad either,however the one on my ribs was agony but was worse afterwards cos it was bruised where it had shook me ribcage,after a couple days it felt better.
id reccomend top of your arm for a first one.

i must say none of mine hurt although i went all woozy wen i had the one on my shoulder done!!!

dont give blood get tattooed instead hehe

it fooking hurts but again depends where you get it as to how bad it is

see i dont think it hurt that much and i have a low pain threshhold it is hard to tell any one if it is goin to hurt as i guess we all take pain difrent , the thing i will say is once u have one u will want more i only know one person that has just one tatt
