Goafer Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 waaaaaaaaaaaaht. Are you taking the piss? heh. That sounds really sore.. I don't think I'd want to risk going blind or anything.. (I'll just go for the contact lenses if i want strange looking eyes ) Oh it's real! Although I thought it was safer than that. Maybe it's been developed more since then. Who knows?
Raining_again Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 Oh it's real! Although I thought it was safer than that. Maybe it's been developed more since then. Who knows? I like tattoos and body mods, but fuck - I'd rather someone shot me than did that to my eyes. Just the thought makes me want to shrivel up and die. Look how little of the colour actually stayed too... Yick.

Kirkatronics Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Did a new one today, not entirely sure whats its official name would be! Eyebrow thing. I also made a video of me doing it. Could barely watch but it looked amazing. From what i managed to watch anyway. You voice seemed so different from when we were on LIVE.
Letty Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I just pierced my cheek/dimple about 5 mins ago! I was supprised how little it hurt, and it didn't even bleed for once! 0_o
bluey Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) still trying to finalize the design for my haku dragon.... settled on either my right forearm or left shoulder-blade for it... i want it to be visible but i'm not sure it'd look that good on my arm... hmm hmm..... but yeah!! i'm gunna try drawing it up tonight... i want him in this kinda pose but with features more like this haku... he looks a little more "badass protector" dontchathink?? (plus the legs on this version of haku look much less like a ribbed condom O_o) was also doing a bit of research on haku... apparently his design is very similar to a frost dragon....... hehehe. (jamba's surname..) Edited March 16, 2009 by bluey
martinist Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 So i was walking around Dumfries yesterday and i was walking by a small tattoo parlour so i stoped to look in the window at the designs. Trying to decide whither should get one or not, either way i'll be going in on Saturday to see whats going on. Its just the pain aspect i have a problem with but i guess it won't be too bad. pics if i don't wuss out, no pics if i do!

Its just the pain aspect i have a problem with but i guess it won't be too bad. pics if i don't wuss out, no pics if i do! go for it martinist!!! i wont lie - it smarts!!! but it's SO worth the pain i'm looking into studios to get mine done with right now... would love to get it done at the middleton tattoo studio but a) they have a 6 month waiting list and b) i dont think i have enough money to get work done by Lou Malloy *sigh*
Goafer Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I'd say the best way to describe the pain is to compare it to sunburn. It's bearable but a little annoying. Also bear in mind the worst parts are the beginning and the end. Your body gets used to it/releases its own painkillers so it gradually becomes less painful. The only problem is that the natural painkillers only last so long so if you're having quite a long sitting it gets painful again towards the end. From what I've gathered from asking the people who did my tattoos, the most painful areas are the spine, inner arm/armpit area, inner wrist, elbow, above the heart and the back of your legs.
nightwolf Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 To me lou Malloy's work is quite plain, there's lots of other artists who are maybe better who don't have such a long waiting list. Either that or I'm very very cynical.
Paj! Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 The mind boggles as to why people keep getting the same boring as fuck designs done. Some badly designed moon princess queen of the night from a bad fanfic, a random chinese dragon, some flowers/butterflies, or a celtic design.
martinist Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 ...still need to think of a design before i go in tomorrow...would be wanting somthing in black and white rather than colour. Maybe somthing totoro related, like: ^_^
martinist Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) leaving now...shitting self >_< *is reluctant to leave* EDIT: epic failure on my part >_< i was talking to a few guys in the parlour and they were saying somthing about alot of people getting sick because they wern't sterilizing the needles enough >_> so i just thought "fuck this, i don't wanna get sick or anything" so i guess i'll just have to find another parlour somewhere. *puts on to do list* Edited March 21, 2009 by martinist

(i actually have that stamp! hehe) & Edited March 23, 2009 by bluey
Ganepark32 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I'm still trying to come up with a design myself for what I want to get done. I know roughly what I want done and a rough idea of it can be found a few pages back. Want to do a lizard in a sort of Aboriginal dot pattern where the colours progress from red at one end to blue at the other. Really wanting to get it done before the summer so I need to get cracking on the composition seeing as the design is fine as it is. Or perhaps I should go and speak to some guys about it at different parlours which'd be helpful as I can't for the life of me think of where to get the thing placed. I want something on my shoulder blade but this isn't the one to put there and the only other place I want something is on the underside of my forearm but I think the lizard thing might look really out of place there. So much to think about before getting the damn thing. Can be annoying.

If you don't mind lots of pain My tattooist actually recommended that I didn't get it as a first tattoo because the skin there is very delicate. It tends to bleed a lot! --- Also I'm debating the idea of self piercing... I can stick needles into myself without much problems.. Just the problem may be if I take a monstrous reaction like I have in the past. I even have a sharps bin. Yay. I blame Letty for putting this idea into my head Edited March 23, 2009 by Raining_again
Ganepark32 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 ^ I'm not too bothered about the whole pain thing. If it hurts, it hurts. It's what you have to go through to get the thing you want and as long as it's good, then in the end the pain will be worth it. Not fully decided on the position though as I've said. I'm just totally unsure of where to put it. Once I've got the final thing drawn up, I'll post it in here to see whether anyone has any decent ideas about placement.

Ganepark32 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Thanks. And if you'd be so kind, when I've finished the design would you be willing, along with others, to help sort out a decent placement? It's gonna drive me crazy. I'll get the design done tomorrow as I'm off from Uni and only have reading to do.
Letty Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 Added two new piercings to my repertoire. Sorry about the mugshot XD

Matches your eyes! Do I spot keepers in your nose(s)?
Ganepark32 Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 @ Letty - is she wanted dead or alive and will there be a monetary reward? The cheek one is interesting. Never seen that kind of piercing done before but they both look clean and well done. Perhaps you should go professional with the piercing? Oh and awesome hair .
Dante Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 wanna get a little cluster of makkuro kurosuke mixed with some sakura maybe...? kinda a cross between these two images... (i actually have that stamp! hehe) & People will be mistake them as the fuzzies from Paper Mario!
